    Shocking Health Crisis: Elderly Man's Nightmare with Common Libido Pill Could Happen to You!

    Hells teeth; I had to get infected with Covid to be able to do that, although I got the privilege of spitting up blood for 4 days, not 3. For those who may be interested, 1000mg cod-liver oil pills, twice a day, taken alongside a course of a common blood-thinner led to a dose of nose-bleeds...

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

    So whoever set up these systems is just bloody incompetent; and AI can now steal your face and no doubt in due course your fingerprints. Perhaps we will have to present our armpits for an ID based on our smell for sniffer dogs to verify. However, I have avoided Centrelink and have attempted to...

    Aussie dancer becomes centre of controversy after Olympic performance: ‘It’s an abomination’

    I once visited the tomb of Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi; most tourists do and it would have been rude to have refused an invitation from my host. Observing the Vietnamese soldiers on duty guarding the corpse, they certainly get the Olympics gold medal for the sport of standing absolutely motionless...

    'Households are being overwhelmed': Delayed $300 rebate sparks outrage among Aussies

    Nationalise power utilities, nationalise health care, national the railways, bring in a National Insurance Scheme to pay for Old-age pensions for all. It worked in the UK. Oh; it took the Great Depression and WW2 to get a decent Labour Party into power for 5 years and in that 5 years they...

    'Households are being overwhelmed': Delayed $300 rebate sparks outrage among Aussies

    Everything started to be buggered up when Keating was Treasurer. Howard and and succeeding Tory governments are responsible for the ensuing 30 years of buggery. Albanese has only been around for 2 years; trying to repair the damage of Howard et al.'s privatisation of everything is...

    Aussie dancer becomes centre of controversy after Olympic performance: ‘It’s an abomination’

    Perhaps ballet and ball-room dancing should be consider Olympic Sports. Ballet in particular requires long and rigorous training and precision of controlled movement, includes skills and attributes for which long jumpers, gymnasts and weight-lifters are credited and is definitely both a solo...

    Banks urge millions of Aussies not to ignore this important email: ‘It was legit’

    Then , O bank of mine, write me a letter and post it to my home address should you need said information. And by the way, where is my monthly paper bank statement? I have told you I don't have a mobile phone and will not buy one for your convenience.

    Another brilliant piece of hi-tech rubbish that is a menace if one is commuting to work or exploring one's adventuresome old age by driving across the Simpson Desert.

    'Households are being overwhelmed': Delayed $300 rebate sparks outrage among Aussies

    Origin is owned by AGL owned by a consortium of investors in Hong Kong. I note that AGl/Origin/Southern Phone (same outfit) are not slow in coming forward to charge one a fine if one makes a late payment on a bill and also charge one for paying one's bill by cheque and also charges one $2.20...

    No ticket, no fair play: Aussie drivers left in the dark over surge in ‘invisible’ parking fines

    Liberals\Conservatives are Tories and Thoraide in Gaelic, from which the word Tory is derived, means thief, bandit or hooligan. The Tory riposte was to use the the word Whigamoor for their former Opposition Party, which is some archaic derivative from something meaning "cattle rustler", so our...

    No ticket, no fair play: Aussie drivers left in the dark over surge in ‘invisible’ parking fines

    Yes; that what I referred to. The taxpayer is expected to pay $750 000 000 for Rockcliffe's folly on behalf of the AFL. And across the water Clarence City Council, eastern shore of Hobart, wants to rip up the central Rosny parks to build a $70 000 000 training centre for wannabe footie players...
