    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Bidet Attachments – A Convenient Advantage

    I’m in the vast majority that don’t really understand how they work. Do they get all the mess? How do you know you really have got it all? Do you drip dry? Towel dry? Pat dry? See? Clueless. My sister has a home in Bali and has had a bidet for years and swears by it but I just don’t know. I’d be...

    Woolworths addresses shocking amount of cameras in one of its newest stores

    Cameras,sadly,are a much needed safety issue. Particularly for women. Places like stairwells and lifts all need them but surely if manned checkouts came back,these creepy over abundance of security cameras leering down on you at every turn could be minimised?

    The Official SlamBook Game!

    Perhaps,Tricia,we could say my talent is for attracting every single stray cat in a 40 kilometre area. Much to Maxs utter disgust,I leave food out for all the sad kitties without family. Max calls them peasants and regularly hurls abuse at them from the safety of his outdoor pen.

    Napoleon director Ridley Scott is calling on us historians to ‘get a life’ – and he has a point. Art is about more than historical facts

    I think if you are recreating a historical figure,it’s the duty of the creator to stick with historical fact as closely as possible. Yes,the movie needs to be entertaining but it can still be that while maintains the characters credibility.. Napoleon was a ratbag but his military genius...

    ‘Delicious abomination’: Is this servo pie a culinary masterpiece or a total disaster?

    We have had a pie maker for years and all our leftovers go into making pies. You’d be astonished at what we turn into pies and they are surprisingly yummy. Spag bol,chow mein, mazetti, shepherds pie all munched up bubble and squeak. Delicious!
