    Scandalous incident rocks major media company: ‘Organisation is completely broken’

    My question is....were they female santas, or male santas? Maybe they walked out because there wasn't a fair distribution of labour. Such a silly thing to be offended by.

    Fear grips Aussie suburb as residents take action amid surge in crime

    We had a bunch of "KIDS" doing a door to door. Couldn't get into our house, so they tried next door. I got them on camera and called police. They got a shock when next door's camera, positioned at their proposed entry point, spoke to them. They were asked ... what do you think you are trying...

    Pensioner draws flak after offering one unusual living solution for $125: 'I'd rather be set up under the overpass'

    I think this is so much better than having poor souls wander aimlessly and sleeping on park benches. My assumption would be that the weekly amount has to include the use of toilet facilities, showering, and somewhere to cook meals. Surely common sense would prevail.

    Queen Mary conceals her face in one of her public appearances. What happened?

    100% agree with you Bella. Hubby and I have been using mobility aids for some time now. I have neuropathy in both feet, so can't feel where I am walking. The aid gives me balance, and protection. Hubby is very frail and would be at an absolute loss without his aid. It's not a crutch. Having...

    Princess Catherine of Wales graces Sunday service in another appearance

    My husband is currently undergoing cancer treatment as well as kidney issues. Sometimes he wants to get in the car and asks for me to take him for a drive, just to see the human race and feel the wind in his face. Most times, he just wants to sit in his recliner and deal with the issues at hand...

    Sarah Ferguson finally speaks out on Prince Andrew's eviction scare: ‘Don't believe what you read’

    Doesn't matter whether it's royalty, or the local butcher, some divorced couples still get on, and indeed, get it on. I actually like Sarah and the way she has had his back over the years. Also, when she was doing naughty things, he had her back. I think you might call it friendship ... or is...

    Scammers using Gumtree to trick sellers into revealing their bank and email details

    I got a very slick looking SMS from my supposed energy provider yesterday. It said they were here to help if I could not make my power payment in total. Wasn't I lucky that they could give me a special instalment facility....DUUUH It looked very real, however, I am distrustful of pretty much...

    This grandmother's cryptic note has the internet stumped – Try to decode the mystery that's baffling thousands online!

    This reminds me of my darling mum in her final weeks. It broke my heart to watch her struggle with communication. I'll go with the feeling that the note was her offering kind thoughts.

    AIBU 26.08.2024

    My advice, Buy her a second fridge, maybe a little one that can go into a spare room. This might give you brownie points , and, you never know, she might be able to change to decorating with edibles and make them part of meal times. Everyone needs the chance to follow their passion. Sometimes...

    Kmart's $15 kitchenware sparks debate over practicality and design: 'so pointless’

    Good idea for a granny flat, or, tiny house. Counter space can be at a premium.

    Say goodbye to supermarket headaches with this mother's genius hack—you'll wish you knew sooner!

    Yes. I'm from the public transport era. My kids were well behaved from beginning to end. The knew better than to muck around on the bus, or in the supermarket. I took my toddler grand children on the bus and train a few times. They loved it. Mind you. Ma made the rules of being out in this...

    Royal Family member's 'entirely unnecessary' remark irks Prince William

    The reporting of an incorrect use of a first name is hardly relevant to the illness. I am fully aware of the end of the world regarding Cancer having lost those close to me. What is not the end of the world, and hardly newsworthy is shortening the name. Why does the report talk about the name...

    Centrelink or luxury link? Unravelling the mystery of unemployed man’s million-dollar haul

    I hear you. New stadiums in areas that are considered lower income hot zones. Makes you wonder what the desk jockeys are thinking when they press green for go.

    I am absolutely certain that I cannot be hacked in this way. I wear a watch that does nothing but tell the time.

    Heritage hassles: One sentence causes property woes and financial wreckage for this homeowner

    Councils. Nothing but L Platers practicing power mongering. I have no time for their rules, regulations and fine print. As far as heritage listing goes. Just because something is old, doesn't mean it warrants protection. Mind you, we took a council on once and won....it was a great feeling. Had...

    I have only one comment to make, or maybe two. Don't believe everything you read. It's not the end of the world, even if it is true.

    Scientists Unveil Miracle Hair Growth Discovery Using a Natural Body Sugar - Could This Be the End of Baldness as We Know It?

    Yes. Many would not realise that females suffer with hair loss as well. I now have a buzz cut and don't care how it looks, except for the odd special photo occasion when the wig goes on.

    Centrelink or luxury link? Unravelling the mystery of unemployed man’s million-dollar haul

    I don't give a fig what other people have. What I do care about is that the money these people are receiving is not theirs. It is OURS. I am a pensioner, but until then, worked my butt off, paid taxes, saved like a demon so we could own our home, and pretty much only ever buy what I need, not...

    Revealed by a Diamond Expert: The Best (and Worst) Viral Jewelry Cleaning Hacks You Need to Try!

    Since in my teens, I have used a mixture of water, dish washing liquid and a dash of ammonia. No ratios, just common sense. I soak them for 10 minutes, give the liquid a stir, rinse the crown jewellery, and it's sparkle arkle every time.

    Dash cam. If you don't have it, get it. Helped us track down a hit and run bad boy who backed into our parked car. Didn't do much damage, but he did a bad thing by leaving without a by your leave. Police were given the dash cam proof, and, the rest is history.
