Oh for crying out loud. People are dying in Ukraine (on both sides) and this is what you are upset about? Get some perspective.

The clue is in the title Rental Market. It's a market and when supply is low prices go up. When the supply goes up, prices either come down or stabilise. If you want to get outraged about something then get outraged about the shortage of affordable housing, which is the underlying cause of...

If you give someone a bottle of wine as a gift, then unless you specify whether it's to be opened or kept it's their choice, and you should have no cause to take offence either way.

In the US (and some other countries) waiters (and other service staff) are typically paid very low wages and depend on tips to top up their income. In Australia waiters get a decent wage and do not need to be tipped, although it's always an option for exceptional service. This 'service charge'...

If you are able, the weather is conducive and your destination is near, walk instead of driving or catching public transport. The exercise works together with the dietary changes to improve your overall health.

Sarah Henderson said. ‘This is all too little, too late. Rather than kick the can down the road, Labor must urgently consider all regulatory options and act immediately to improve the privacy and safety of Australians online.’ she demanded. So why did the Morrison government "kick the can down...

Broken glass in a pool is a serious danger. They were right throw her out.

Yes. Proper Italian Carbonara sauce is made with Guanciale (dried pig's cheek), eggs and Peccorino Romano. It tastes sooooo much better than the creamy goo sold in tubs in supermarkets.

I order from Woolies once a week and get the goods delivered to my car boot. It takes a bit of planning, but in my book that's a good discipline. I know the cost before I place the order and it also prevents me making 'impulse' buys. Usually everything is as ordered and delivered promptly...

Doesn't bother me at all. I plan a week's worth of menus in advance, order the ingredients online and get them delivered direct to my car boot once a week at a time that suits me. I rarely go into the store.

Human error is usually at the bottom of these things, and it's hard work staying on top of all the price changes, so I imagine it was a genuine oversight. If it was a genuine scam they would have removed the old sticker to conceal the evidence. Most retailers will honour the lower price if you...

I don't like paying $2 for a litre of petrol either, but let's get some perspective. Petrol is an irreplaceable resource for which we pay a bit over $2 a litre. Coca-Cola is a blend of natural ingredients that can be replicated easily (if you have the formula) but still costs about $2.80 a...

Pram bays are designed for use by people with prams. If you don't have a pram don't park there. No excuse.

I live in a narrow street (also in the Inner West) and if someone parks so that their vehicle extends beyond the point where the driveway meets the footpath line it's difficult or even impossible for me to get my car in and out of the driveway. The fine was issued in accordance with the road...

Don't use nail polish remover - it will ruin the duco. Try this: 1. Soak a white cloth in whole milk and use it to cover the affected area. Leave it at least 4 hours, overnight if possible. Remove the cloth and wash with warm water and a few drops of dishwashing detergent. You might need to...

You agreed that the term "Ploughman's Lunch" dates from the 1950's and I already stated that the ingredients are centuries old. What point are you making?

Although the ingredients are "centuries old", the specific term "Ploughman's Lunch" was created by the UK's Cheese Bureau in the 1950s as a marketing project, so it's not even one century old.

For those who depend on social security to cover the rising cost of living a $250 one-off payment is just a slap in the face. It's pretty obvious that the government is desperate to win the election and has no strategy to deal with anything that comes afterwards.

Well done for calling out the abusers. They are only a small minority but they need to understand that their behaviour is not acceptable.
