I've met a few celebrities over the years. Before he became famous I met Billy Thorpe at a small school in Brisbane. The school was to help students much like tutoring today. Also was invited to a get to gather for Peter Wyngarde from the 70s series Department S and the best one was Joe Hasham...

They are now overly fast (most of it is pre made) or overly expensive. If we get a couple of burgers and one lot of fries it can be as expensive as $25. Prefer to pay an extra $5-$10 at a table service cafe. Even if you have to order at the counter the food is probably fresher and they are not...

I've learned to look for other stuff. What if the plaque is there as a repair job that causes issues. For a large part of the population, who eat the standard western diet, excess sugar and carbs and do untold and undiagnosed health issues and this also inhibits the body's ability to repair...

All these stores are on the south east side of Brisbane. Not much good to anyone on the north side or anywhere else if you have to drive miles to get to them

Pretty much would not touch any of it. If I do get yogurt I buy Jalna only. The rest apart from the chicken (just the chicken not the rest) is really just junk that rises your blood glucose and puts you at risk of diabetes.

Personally I would not touch Nestle with a barge pole but the truth is they get at you. I have now had the following issue twice. Went shopping, spent quite a deal of money at Woolworths only to come home and get an email saying if I spend this much by this date I will get thousands of extra...

Truth is we can ditch the carbohydrates and concentrate on meat, fish, eggs and dairy (if you can tolerate it) As we age we need more protein and good animal fats. This is not fad it is proven. If we eat more protein and fats we fill up quicker and don't need to constantly eat to be satiated...

I made a conscious decision not to have any more children after the age of 30. My last baby was born when i was 30. He wasn't planned. I think she is right but in saying that you can lose a parent even when they are young. Many lose parents to cancer, accidents and suicide as well as other...

Interesting. I did this with my large size lids, cutting boards and baking trays and such quite some time ago. I can't remember where it go the racks from after all the time I have had them but they work really well.

I do not think staging is necessary. If you do it correctly the furniture you own can give most prospective buyer an idea of what will and won't fit into a room. Always question the bed size if only looking at photos. A room can look big but if the bed is only a double and the bedside tables are...

You know this is totally obnoxious. These unelected bureaucrats sit in their ivory towers in Canberra and at the stroke of a pen decide our lives and living conditions while collecting a salary that most of us can only dream about. I'm 73 years old and have watched on as the big junk food, big...

I've been with Amazon Prime for some time now. I also get Acorn+ and Paramount + through them. I have found I can get a lot of books quite a deal cheaper than any other supplier and usually it comes with free postage. We get more viewing time from our Prime Video subscription than any other. I...

Yes I'd agree with the first suggestion. We have a small chihuahua/mini foxy cross. He, I believe started on normal dog food. We now (he is coming up 12) only feed him once a day. Mostly he gets raw meat. No biscuits. He will refuse to eat sometimes. So I just put it in the fridge and offer it...

Better known to some of us as the Amah's broom. House cleaners used them when we lived in Malaysia. They really are great

Whilst ever the aged care sector is for profit nothing will change. The food in most of them is dreadful. More like the food you would get in a badly run mess hall. Mostly they follow the guidelines put out for food intake and product. That means lots of low end garbage. Most elderly need...

Ray was not someone I hadn't any knowledge of until he replaced Kevin Spacey in the movie 1242, Gateway to the West. This film greatly interested me for two reasons. The filming was done in Hungary in a castle and they used drones. Totally amazing. Also my favourite actor Michael Ironside is...

The truth is these people have no idea how the general population lives. They are in the Canberra bubble. Total rubbish comes out of his mouth just like the rest of them. Biggest issue I see is in the supermarket. Poor people buying total crap for them and their kids, costing a fortune but...

Sorry this is plant based and that goes against most of the new studies. Been proven humans need animal protein and fats to really survive and thrive. No issues with what people eat, they choose but she is definitely not setting the record straight. She is following the guidelines that say we...

Nice to see a good article about lowering carb intake. We seem to love pills and potions but the truth is it can be great especially for men. Women can struggle even cutting carbs to a minimum but it still is much better for your health. Sugar can creep into the diet over years and the kilos go...

Margarine is junk. No nutritional value at all. One step away from plastic. Seed oils ruin your health. Butter, lard, dripping, duck fat all so healthy but doctor won't tell you that. Also I'd never buy shredded cheese. Got added rubbish like humectants and oils. You can make dips with cream...
