    Why is everyone laughing at this tiny detail in Woolworths' charity promo?

    Yes, you can get anything and everything delivered in the food line, but these are the same younger ones who are too lazy to cook themselves that do all the whingeing about everything being so expensive. They buy all the rubbish treats for their kids instead of saying ‘No’ occasionally then...

    Santa's already at Coles: Christmas goods appear four months early!

    I would be prepared to buy Christmas puddings & long lasting sweets now to avoid the last minute rush. I absolutely hate going anywhere near a supermarket in the week before Christmas - too many people & invariably some pushing and shoving by rude people to be the first to get the specials.

    ABC presenter suffers severe burns from unfamiliar shower mixer abroad

    If he was reporting for the ABC they should have had proper insurance cover for the whole period away - or he should at least have had his own insurance cover for his personal time away before/after the games cover for the ABC. Having said that, I hope you recover well, Charles. I do admire the...

    Shocking Cost: How One Mum Needs $120,000 to Save Her Son's Life in Thailand - Could You Be At Risk Too?

    We did as much overseas travel as we could, and wanted to, while we were under the age of 75. Once you reach that age travel insurance shoots up in cost and various ailments can hit at any age, not just for those over 75.

    Shocking Discipline Method? Discover How a Stranger Dealt with a Crying Toddler on a Plane!

    The kid’s ears were probably hurting from cabin pressure and/or a cold or cough or some other ailment. Feel sorry for the passengers having to put up with the screaming but threatening to lock the child in the aircraft toilet was beyond belief. That child could have fallen into the toilet if it...

    Buying Online - Caution

    Sold our caravan a couple of years ago - buyers came to house to check it out, offered us a tad lower, we accepted offer, they came back next day with $1000 cash, gave them receipt for that and said until balance was cleared by our bank we would not release the van or have the registration...
