    Laugh out loud: Man makes hilarious tumble fleeing from a charging cow

    From the video, it is not quite clear that the animal is a cow. Bullocks and young bulls can be ferocious at times, when disturbed. I can understand Cam's discretion by "falling back" (pun intended).

    You won't believe what escalated this petty feud between neighbours!

    In Texas (or USA for that matter) self-centred madness reigns. He should be thankful that she didn't have a gun (or that he had security cameras rather than a gun). I am always surprised to read about fencing disputes in the US. Many of the cases arise because one neighbour decides to erect a...

    An interesting, and humorous soliloquy.

    Plane Drama: Passenger blocks woman from reclining seat on a 12-hour flight

    I am entirely in agreement with the comments made by Ben Schlapping (?is that his real name, or a nom de plume adopted to invoke commercial "respect}. The facility to recline aircraft seat backs is something that is provided to travellers by airlines, so it is a facility by right. It may not...

    Mother shocked by 'cold-hearted' anonymous note left on her car at the hospital. Find out what it said!

    "Have some empathy" goes both ways. If the circumstances as stated in the note are correct, the complainant drove nose in to the parking spot to get an advantage. I can fully understand the chagrin of the driver who was about to reverse in to the same spot. Obviously, some words were exchanged...

    Tragic death of mum outside Coles sparks urgent call for a public inquiry

    There will be a Coronial Enquiry, which should answer the family's questions. It is difficult to understand the need for a "public enquiry" into the death of an individual.

    Netflix's latest series to give shocking insight into Prince Andrew's controversial Newsnight interview

    How can this be "...age old questions about Prince Andrew's place under the reign of King Charles III..." when King Carles has been on the throne for less than a year, hardly "age old". Leave it alone.

    ‘You have no shame.’ Coles defends controversial $15 paper bag amid backlash

    What is the whinge about? If a customer does not want to pay the prescribed price for the product, it is not a mandatory purchase. As the retailer points out, there are many preferable alternatives for any whingeing customer.

    Banking

    I have to confess that I have no patience with people who want to "name and shame" ( ie defame) corporations which don't practice their business in a way that the customer asserts that they should. We all suffer and create inconveniences to others due to the nature of the jobs that we do. No...

    Social media erupts as wealthy 88-year-old widow asks for pension support

    I have a great deal of sympathy for this lady. Yes, she has some liquid assets which assist her income, but the value of her investments and her income are depreciating rapidly, due to the effects of uncontrolled monetary inflation. I will assume that at least part of her income is sourced from...

    Joke Pensioner Wedding Bells

    I agree. How many comments have been received by SDC about its use of North American spelling, verbage, and phraseology. Do the editors of SDC not understand that the import of North American language is not appreciated in Australia and that SDC should make that little extra effort to correct it...

    Coles supermarkets embrace sustainability with certified 'carbon neutral' pork range

    I would much prefer Coles (and its competitors) to revert to stocking lamb and beef offal on their shelves. It seems a long time ago since I saw lambs fry, kidneys, brains etc or ox-tail, ox kidneys or the like. Coles staff do not seem to understand what are those items. Is this the downside of...

    Joke Young woman at the doctors

    Many of the so-called jokes posted by SDC are not universally funny. You cannot please all of the people all of the time. The critical reaction to this (generally unfunny) joke is over the top and unwarranted (eg use of words like "mysogynists; cruel; smutty"). It must leave the SDC editors...

    Is a beloved item disappearing from Australian shelves? Find out now!

    It is all very convenient for government agencies and major stores to "pass the buck" to WWF, but is should be recognised that WWF is a political organisation driven by particular objectives. In pursuing its objective of reducing what it perceives to be harm caused by the existence of plastics...

    Chicken McNuggets disaster: McDonald’s in hot water after it was found to blame for young girl’s injuries

    As every reader will be aware , this is an instance of application of US (Florida state) law, not Australian (in any state) law. It may be of casual interest to SDC readers, but has no relevance to Australia ( unfortunately, like so many SDC articles. Most Australians will be aware that in...
