    Groceries Low Alcohol Pinot Grigio $15 @ Little Ripples*

    No alcohol at all for me , only drink H2O which has gone through a filter and takes out the nasty stuff . Who needs alcohol? Too much violence , bad for liver , heart etc.

    Researchers find chocolate products can increase risk of cancer

    Save big on your commute! State cuts public transport fares down to 50 cents

    This is just a joke , 50 cents for a train fare ! They will put up the rates , insurances etc , the money has to come from somewhere and it does not come out of Labour’s back pocket . The money could have been better spend for healthcare /hospitals /ambulance , also housing , youth crime ...

    This Royal's portrait sparks citizens' outrage: 'You must be joking!'

    What a terrible painting . How could this go public ? Wonder what she thinks of it herself! She would have been a lot better off going to Montmartre , the artists and painters place in Paris . There are incredible talented painters and at some people are queuing up to be painted .
