I just have to smirk at that one, poor Napolean having to give a ride to that big man! Lol.

Our toll system is absolutely stupid. It must cost a fortune for all the relevant government and private toll owners to monitor and manage the system which is possibly some cause of the stupid prices. Many years ago when the only toll anywhere in Sydney was to cross the harbour bridge which if I...

The very thought of it turns my stomach. It is like a science fiction movie and I honestly do not know if would be able to deal with it. Where are all my relatives, Mother, Father etc? The whole thing is more like a horror story from Halloween, How appropriate for this time of year.

As long as they don't create a mess or leave the lid open I cannot see any harm. A few years ago, I came across an older gentleman going through our bins and stopped to chat. He was trying to supplement his pension for whatever reason and he seemed to have a good setup with his pushbike being...

$145m divided by say an estimated 7m people in NSW relates to near enough $21.00 per head of population so just send us all a cheque for $21.00 and we'll call it square. :)

Maybe looking at it from a slightly different angle i.e., it is a 19-year-old male that is taking on a 35-year-old woman? There would be much less comment in this setting than the other way around. People need to be much less judgemental and give life a chance after all the age difference is...

Misunderstanding accepted Ebby and I apologize for reacting which is unlike me. I have been in Australia for 52 years and still retain my Pommie nationality so I am classed as a permanent resident. I like being referred to as The Pom by some of my mates because it is a term of endearment. When I...

Credit check.

But we are the Poms, I don't understand your reticence of understanding our history here in Australia. Being a Pom was a term of endearment many years ago. Maybe since racial discrimination became a major subject over the last few years there has been a shift to other nationalities and the term...

What drives businesses under is bad management decisions. They know from the outset what their costs are and are able to project their costs for a number of years. They can control their profit margins and build in projections for possible unforeseen costs. Blaming other bodies for failure is...

I think you might mean Harrods which are no relation to Harrolds who frankly I have never heard of. I did do some shopping in Harrods of London many years ago and was very happy with my purchase of a box of matches using my Diners card to pay for them!

AAAAAAH you just gave everyone your password, now what?

Over the last 12 months, I have struggled to keep up with the general cost of living. I recently got into difficulty with my communications and about a fortnight ago I appealed to Telstra for assistance. They were absolutely marvellous. They appointed a case manager to look after me and it did...

I was just thinking about a password manager system when I realized that you need a master password to activate it. That means that if a hacker was to figure out your master password he/she would have access to every single program that I use. Wow, not for me then.

Excuse me waggadragon but please use an uppercase P when referring to us Poms thank you.(y)

Thank you so much for that. I tried it out, and it worked very easily. Telstra replied happy almost immediately. For anyone who is unsure, I really recommend that you try it. Thank you, Kahlan28, once again.

I think an occasional tip for exceptional service is absolutely fine at the customer's discretion. One thing that does bother me, though, is whether or not the tips included in the bill actually get to the employee they were aimed at.

How?

Ah, c'mon, everybody. We are smarter than some think. After all, we invented these digital payment systems, and we can use electronic gear to some extent or another. We will master these changes with dexterity and dignity, so don't let anyone think we are not capable of handling this. It's even...

Now that would be an interesting statue, coupled with our Big Banana!
