    A neighbour's kid was having fun in his yard... but he had to stand his ground - is it unreasonable?

    No, you are not being unreasonable. I am guessing that you don't have a front fence and therefore he can just come onto your property. It is no different than someone letting their dog leave their calling card in your front yard. Not acceptable and you have every right to ask his mother to...

    'I was today years old when I realised': This famous brand just revealed its secret

    Like others that have commented - Durex was a brand of sticky tape. Working in an office London in the late 60's, I asked for some Durex. A young male working there was so embarassed. You very quickly learn the differences between countries. "Fanny" packs in the US.

    'Am I a bad host for not serving my "good tea"?'

    If you went to her house and she offered you a cuppa, what would you do? Turn your nose up at what she has on offer, take your own or say no thanks? For heavens sake, why spoil a friendship over a cup of tea. Yes, you should have let her have her pick - does one cup really matter so much to...

    Some decisions that you make in life can come back and bite you in the bum. One of Dan's rules during all his covid lockdowns - was NO golf allowed. Golf clubs are now taking their revenge for that decision of his. If you didn't live in Melbourne/Victoria during Dictator Dan's lockdowns then...

    'It completely ruins my week': Why does this supermarket tactic annoy shoppers?

    Most supermarkets have the fruit and veg on one side, meat at the back and all the frozen and dairy on the other side. this is to make you cover the whole shop. I am sure (!!!) that there is someone somewhere sitting at a desk and thinking up ways to keep themselves employed - guess we'll just...

    'My wife is the worst backseat driver... am I wrong to refuse to drive with her?'

    No, let her keep driving unless she can keep quiet. If you do drive, let her know before you leave that if she makes any negative comments you will stop and let her takeover. Or just turn around and go home.

    Aussie TV icon faces criticism over controversial Facebook post! What did he say?

    People get offended by everything these days. I would love to see one TV channel, once a week, fortnight or month bring back - late at night - Love Thy Neighbour, Benny Hill, Alf Garnett and all those good old English programmes. I see that Are you Being Served is back late at night. Can we...

    ‘It is risky to send this information’: Westpac under fire for moving 190 Aussie jobs overseas

    At least the Philippine accent is slightly easier to understand than the Indian - I have no hope with that one. I usually tell these people that if they think that they can speak English - then they are wrong
