    What's your favourite biscuit, and why?

    Bush Bisuits! Butter and vegemite. Can't buy them anywhere (that I've tried anyway) but they did make a short comeback a few years ago!

    What is something your mum used to say to you when you were a kid?

    When in the bath; "and clean behind your ears, we don't want (spuds) potatoes growing there!" And she would also say: "always look after those that look after you" and consequently I now cook a range of scones, sausage rolls and other snacks fairly regularly for my doctors and specialists...

    If you could, which hobby would you revisit?

    I would love to take up flying model planes again. My 3 brothers and I had a total of 36 model planes between us as teenagers but our interest faded as the items got more expensive (and girls came on the scene) 😁😊 I would also love to play drums in a band once again but arthritis has wrecked any...

    Woolworths under fire for this 'frustrating' self-service checkout feature

    I'm NOT employed by Woolworths OR any other store that has "self checkouts" so I choose to keep people employed by having them working at the checkouts to register my purchases!!

    Who knew you could use duckboards like this? This DIY enthusiast's genius gardening tip is getting praised online!

    I have used an old plastic/nylon toilet cistern as a "plant starter" for my tomato seeds and it has now been extremely successful TWICE without being re-seeded from last year! When I planted a full packet of seeds in it last year I reckoned the ALL sprouted but having then transplanted all of...

    $20K Gone in Minutes: This Bank Account Story Will Keep You Vigilant

    Your Say Sunday Poll: Do you believe ‘you get what you pay for’?

    I bought an inexpensive "throw-away" battery powered ozito drill approximately 9 yrs ago from a toss out table in Bunnings. This drill has done an enormous amount of work, sometimes doing heavier tasks than it was designed for, and is STILL GOING TODAY and running on the same battery after...

    Distressing reports of Remembrance Day disrespect - what has become of our nation?

    We sit quietly and reflect on those 60000 people making the ultimate sacrifice. Nov 11th also has a special significance for our family as it is the day my mother died following a failed hip replacement operation aged just 62 and 38 years ago

    Whipper Snipper or Brush Cutter – What do you call it?

    I use my collection of these to perform both functions because they have an interchangeable head to perform either "whipper snipping" with nylon cord or attach a solid blade for "brush cutting". Either one can be a dangerous tool to use by any inexperienced operator and great care needs to be...
