    Global health alert: New virus spreads across continents amid climate and urbanisation concerns

    Glad to hear you have some common sense about Trump. Yes, no doubt the alleged scare about 'sloth disease' will fade into the same dull place of oblivion as the malaria scare and the other stuff we deal with without thought when once appraised of the matter and how to deal with it. SDC does...

    Global health alert: New virus spreads across continents amid climate and urbanisation concerns

    What box; and Herald Sun? That is a gratuitous and pernicious insult, but predictable. A fear-filled fool? Because I have used a mosquito net during lengthy work in tropical jungles and have taken pills to avoid malaria in the wet seasons? One should not ignore sound advice; simple as when...

    Global health alert: New virus spreads across continents amid climate and urbanisation concerns

    Just don't get engrossed in your mobile phone when crossing the road and take off those earphones and blinkers; look left, look right and look left again, and listen. Sound advice given freely, as one provides to any immature child.

    I'll be polite. I think you enjoy being both rude and stupid.

    Bin there, done that: Posties call out obstructive wheelie bins for mail mayhem

    The cost of postage would have to go up as a result Of course. Do we complain about the cost of a bottle of beer? I suppose we do, but we still drink the stuff. Okay; cross-subsidise the delivery of letters from Australia Post's profitable parcels service and maybe stop using the scammable...

    Bin there, done that: Posties call out obstructive wheelie bins for mail mayhem

    Indeed; put the mail-box at a front corner of your driveway and let the house-holder walk down the driveway; and of course employ more posties with shorter rounds to cover. Oh, it would cost more money. Sorry for being daft.......

    Bin there, done that: Posties call out obstructive wheelie bins for mail mayhem

    Once upon a time in the UK the postie used to walk to do his round, carrying his bag of letters. Problem solved, Australia. It would be nice if letters in Australia posted in the same city got to one's mail-box next day. It can be done. As for such impediments as a bestringed new lawn around a...

    Discover why Australians are outliving Americans—are you missing out on extra years?

    Probably something to do with clean water reticulated in lead-free pipes, lesser air pollution, no guns, and of course a still-working albeit underfunded public hospital system that does things such as 7-hour emergency open-heart surgery at no cost to the individual at any hour of the day or...

    Global health alert: New virus spreads across continents amid climate and urbanisation concerns

    How gracious of the European Center for Disease Control and SDC for bothering to advise a bunch of cynical Trumpistannian knockers in Australia to be aware of yet another zoonotic illness that may or may not be fatal should said Trumpistannians catch it through not taking very simple...

    Global health alert: New virus spreads across continents amid climate and urbanisation concerns

    The health alert perhaps originated from some official organisation that understands risk management and how to inform people of a potential risk. Whilst sloths may move slothly and carry assorted diseases that can jump species, assorted diseases may move quickly through the human population...

    Fraudsters exploit vulnerabilities in Aussies’ myGov accounts, fuelling financial chaos

    Apparently the application DroidKit can sidestep facial/fingerprint security (see prior post). The best security is to have your armpit smell embedded in your plastic card and every business to have your armpit smell under your arm compared with your plastic card's armpit smell using a...

    Learner driver turned away over 'not orange enough' blinkers sparks debate—is it fair?

    As an afterthought, thanks to my misunderstanding of what wattage headlight globe I needed for that Miller dynamo my eyes had become well adapted to good night vision and I recall being dazzled by the street lights beyond that roundabout reflecting light off the very wet road, hence that...

    Police issue urgent warning over scam involving forged documents—are you at risk?

    Thanks; I've been to Sydney a couple of times and have gone past Wollongong but being just a country lad from Pomgolia...........

    Learner driver turned away over 'not orange enough' blinkers sparks debate—is it fair?

    I recall doing (max wattage headlight bulb) that to 34 watt 6-volt Miller dynamo before coming back home at night from London. We went straight over the only traffic island without advertising hoarding on the Oxford by-pass which sprung out upon us in the dark too suddenly to swerve around...

    Aussie driver's defiant note and gold coins challenge cashless parking meters

    Which end of a boiled egg do you tap with your spoon to open? Or worse, do you use a knife to cut off what you deem to be the top.
