    Protect Your Family: Shocking Link Between Home Renovations and Deadly Mesothelioma Will Have You Demanding Change Instantly!

    I have been renovating houses for 54 years and have probably been exposed to asbestos more times than I care to mention, having not known so at the time. It all started when my wife and I had very recently married, bought my grandmothers matchboard wood and iron house which was close to being...

    MY 65th BIRTHDAY PRESENT

    Those things hanging limply below the T shirt. WAY back men would shave with what were called cut throat razors and to hone the sharpness of the blade they would "strop" them on a thick leather strip ( similar to a leather belt). Thus my dad's reference to "razor strops)😄

    Australia tightens drinking water guidelines amid ‘forever chemicals’ contamination concerns

    The point I was trying to make is that same water that feeds the toilet cistern is the same water coming out of any tap elsewhere on the property that you may be drinking from. Good luck with that if you don't have a filter!

    This Beloved Aussie Slang is Now Taboo – Find Out Which Phrase is Off-Limits!

    Sadly it would seem all the "do-gooders" in society are hell-bent on cripling good ol ozzy slang. Any one I don't know how to address would usually be called "mate" in the case of a male or missus or blossom (depending on age) for a female! I have actually offended females by those terms, those...

    Dog owner lashes out after being hit with $806 fine for a little-known mistake

    There surely has to be another side to this story? On face value this just has to be so wrong in so many ways! Again, on face value, this lady would get my overwhelming support ( having been an elected member in a local council some years ago)!

    Microbes outpacing medicine: Health catastrophe threatening to take us back to dark ages
