I suppose then that the 4 year old resiled from his promise to say something including the word "arse". Or is it just a matter that the joke was spoiled by SDC's translation of language, as is often the case.

I prefer to let them strike indefinitely, then sell off the assets and deregister ABC. There are plenty of other broadcasters who are ready willing and able to fill the bill.

Nonsense. There is no "right way" or "wrong way" to use the dividers. The person making this suggestion may have her own way of doing it, and as long as the proprietor of the shop allows it (or doesn't proscribe it) she is welcome to follow her own preference. Others, including the majority who...

If you don't conform, you don't get fed!

Far too much whingeing on this post to raise a worthwhile comment. I trust though, that Chris's "breakfast" white wine was vegan.

If a publishing house has the rights of publication of literary work, and has the author's copywrite, it will have authority to publish the works in a manner which it sees fit. I personally do not agree with publishing houses altering the literary form of any author's works, and find the...

someone there was perverted, but I am not sure it was the videographer. You are right though that his motivation to put the video on Facebook was questionable.

"Indecent filming". I would like to know the legal definition of such a thing. Now if it was expressed as "filming of indecent conduct", perhaps that would be understandable. But isn't indecent or lewd behaviour in public a criminal offence, and wouldn't it be explicable that filming of indecent...

Well it isn't if it is the fault of someone else. If it is the fault of the carpark owner/operator it is questionable whether the sign about parking at your own risk has any enforceability.

There are, very often, reports published of people (often children) being mauled by dogs which are not restrained. The laws and regulations which we are considering here are developed with a purpose of mitigating the risk of such maulings. The laws and regulations are a small price to pay for...

Yes, the photo shows two iconic Sydney characters, of course Walton's store, and then that old gent who could be seen on the city business district's street pushing his trolley from dawn to dusk, day-in, day- out. I think that he was an eastern European immigrant. Some of SDC's members may...

SDC, it is good of you to remind SDC members of their obligations concerning registration of their vehicles. Perhaps not so good of you to become a forum for advertising of certain types of vehicles.

Well it did happen in Cologne, Germany, which has different civil laws to Australia. Perhaps Mr Merzoglu might have become a bit "hot - headed" about his beloved Merc, that is understandable. What is not so understandable is Mr M's lawyer advising him to proceed to litigation against the...

As you very correctly point out, there are always two sides to a story. The complainant had overlooked reporting on the Council's previous warnings to him, and the reasons for the previous fines. Sorry mate, you got it wrong and you deserved your "come uppance".

someone did, but I don't think it's "bigspark342"

"The distance to the white line..." , "There are no lines of course." Which is it. The photograph referred to doesn't replicate.

It is. The purpose of the rule (as explained by another correspondent) is to ensure that there is safe passageway for a vehicle without having to cross the unbroken double lines (which is against the road regulations, and itself attracts a "healthy" fine. There would be no purpose of measuring...

"thrice"? Now I am an old fashioned bloke who does believe in the proper use of language, but I am sure that it has been aeons since anyone wrote "thrice" to mean three times in contemporary journalism. Will you next be discarding your favourite hipster colloquialism "hack"(which I have...

There is a reluctance in the pathology companies to release the results of patients' tests to the patient, and as far as I know none of the established pathology companies will email the test reports to patients (as well as the medical practitioner), preferring to send hardcopy by email. I have...

Such are the exigencies of property ownership.
