My son was once booked for doing 60km/h in a 60/km zone. The officers excuse was that you must drive “under” the speed limit. My son appealed the fine and won. The court magistrate ordering that the officer concerned to be retrained.

OMG! Yet another thing in this crazy mixed up world to worry about. As if having to tread carefully in this world for fear of being scammed online, now the government (in their stupidity) decide that it is a great idea to go cashless and force everyone to partake in an extremely risky method of...

As the old saying goes: “When in Rome do as the Roman’s do.” In Australia it is common place to go barefoot where or whenever you please. If that is not the done thing in your country, then good for you. To be blunt: I’m sick and tired of foreigners coming to this country whinging about what we...

Oh Sethia! You poor thing. There is no greater pain than one of a broken heart. I have a few sayings that help me through these hard times. 1) What’s before you won’t go past you. 2) There’s a lot to think about but nothing to worry about. 3) I can’t change the past or the future. I can only...

An idea to stop scammers. I think the banks should introduce a service that allows people to (for example) sell items online and receive payment from a buyer safely without having to hand over their account details. It would work something like this: If, for whatever reason, someone needs to...

I used to work in an office years ago and we had a guy working there who was from New Zealand. One day he asked me if I had any twink. “What’s twink?” I asked. “Twink!” He replied. “You know? TWINK!” It turns out that’s what they call Liquid Paper over there. Who knew…? I learned a lot of...

At least twice per week I receive an email that uses my sister’s name as the sender, claiming to have photos to show me. The first time I received it it seemed suspicious for two reasons. Firstly, it arrived in my spam folder and secondly it was worded in a way that my sister would not have...

Every evening I let my 12 month old Miniature Pincer, Thomas, inside and I feed him his dinner. After he has eaten he jumps onto my lap and puts his two front paws on my shoulders, then he buries his snout into my chest. He stays that way for about 10 seconds then he lifts his head, looks me...

As a child I had a morbid fear of being barefoot and/or shirtless. It wasn’t until I was about 16 that I finally discovered the joy and freedom. Since then, even in winter, I often go barefoot and shirtless, much to the alarm and disbelief of my neighbours and friends. ☺️

Call me weird, but I’m LOVIN’ this heat. I’m a bit of a winter hibernator and come spring I bounce back to life. I have very olive skin and an excess of carotene in my system which apparently allows me to tan easily without the risk of skin cancer. (So I was told by a skin special a few years...

We used a group called All Green. We contacted them and they just claim that power costs have just risen substantially and that would account for it. I doubt that very much. Yes, electricity costs did rise, but not by THAT much. We have lodged an enquiry with Fair Trading and are awaiting a...

All I can say is, if the banks all go cashless they had better be prepared for a massive increase in law suits because forcing people to use digital payments will only increase cyber fraud. The banks should be investing their billion dollar profits into making internet banking safer. Bad form...
