    Deadly infections revealed to be skyrocketing globally, posing risks beyond the common cold

    My father-in-law died of TB before I even knew him. He was only in his early 40's at the time. When I was at school in England we had regular check-ups by a nurse and dentist to make sure we were OK. Before going on to high school or grammar school in my case, we had to have a thorough...

    How can you possibly choose. My native language is English. I speak French, Spanish some Italian and some German. I also learned to play the piano as a child, and have played a little bit on the ukulele and helped my kids learn to play some wind instruments. There is no comparing music with...

    A male and a female whale were out for a romantic swim one sunny day when they saw a whaling ship. The male whale said to the female, "Let's go and blow out our air holes at the same time so the ship will sink." So they went over and did it. Sure enough the ship sank, but the sailors found...

    My sympathy to Terri Garr's friends and family. She must have suffered terribly with MS as it is a terrible thing to know you can no longer be the active person you once were.

    WHICH BOOK HELPED MOST?

    My Credit Union asked if I wanted to continue to use cheques. They would allow me to if I wanted but I decided it was not in my best interests as so many people do not use them anymore and it might be difficulty to pay for anything with a cheque.

    Millers is a shop that I've used a lot. I have always found that their stock is good quality and not too expensive. My friends also use this shop quite a lot. It will be missed in my town that's for sure.

    Memoir reveals years of hidden struggles for iconic singer

    I commend him for being honest. It is not an easy thing to reveal to the general public that you have been abused as most people will not believe you anyway. Hope the rest of his life is free of trouble.

    Aussie senator's controversial post about King Charles sends shockwaves through social media

    If Thorpe doesn't believe in our King's rule then why did she take a seat in parliament. This is part of the imperial system to which she says she does not belong nor does she have any respect for it.

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

    Judging by the state my kettle gets into from the water I would not drink any tap water. I boil the water first and keep a supply of boiled water in the fridge. I have to clean my kettle regularly to get rid of the black murky stuff that accumulates in it. I have to have the rod replaced in...
