Solar Panels: Are they really all they are worth the money? My wife and I were recently forced into retirement due to medical issues. So, in an effort to try and save money on living costs, we decided to invest a chunk of our superannuation payout in solar panels. We shopped around and chose a...

Not when it’s your own money. My bank asks to see my photo ID to ensure I am who I say I am. That’s good enough for me.

This is an outrage! It’s your money, not the banks and you can do with it whatever you damned well please! How dare the bank refuse to handover YOUR money. Here they are making Billions of dollars in profit out of OUR money then they have the Gaul to refuse to give it back? Yes, close your...

My oldest brother nicknamed me “Pid”. He was about 12 when I was born and one day he came home from school and picked me up to say hello to me. Mum was in the midst of changing my nappy at the time, so when he picked me up I piddled all over him. 🤣🤣🤣 (Served him right!) 😉 Anyhow, the nickname...

My whole working life I dreamed of what retirement would be for me. Wake up whenever I feel like it, potter around and just do what I wanted whenever I wanted. Perhaps jump into the car with my wife and just take off on a journey at will. HUH!! Nothing like it at all. 2 years ago at the...

Is the Bingo game working this week? The numbers have not changed for the past 3 days!!

We have our groceries home delivered and by the time the delivery person gets them to my front door some of the handles have snapped off and/or the bags are torn. I get that we need to care for our environment but the powers-that-be must ensure that such environmentally friendly items stand up...

50. Still young enough to be energetic, but old enough to have common sense. Having said that I would not like to prolong life in this day and age. Take me back to the 70s. Life was much easier there.

I believe the problem these days with the longer generations is lack of discipline. Granted that, in our day, teachers, parents and caregivers went overboard with the whole discipline thing, but I firmly believe that bad behaviour deserves a reasonably firm smack on the bottom or back of legs...

As the old saying goes, “Spare the rod spoil the child.” Nothing is more apt and true in todays age. Children and young adults of today have never been given discipline appropriate for their behaviours. Whilst I admit that some sadistic parents, caregivers and teachers back in “my day” (60s and...

There is no greater joy in life (in my opinion) than going barefoot. People did it for generations and it was considered “The Norm”. You don’t wear shoes at the beach or at the pools, do you? There is just as much, if not more, chance of injuring your feet there than anywhere else. I go barefoot...

All law enforcement officers should be made to adhere to the same rules as the rest of us and LEAD BY EXAMPLE, unless, of course, they are on URGENT business. A few months ago 2 police officers in an unmarked car pulled up on a corner in a no stopping zone just near my place, got out of their...

The first time anyone ever refers to me as being my grandchildren’s “Grandfriend” I will certainly give them a piece of my mind! How disrespectful! What’s next? Calling your parents your “birthfriends”? Just because you are in the minority of people who don’t have a descent relationship with...

It’s actually illegal to have any pet unrestrained in your vehicle. They must be in a suitable pet crate or carrier and then strapped in, the same as any passenger. Having your pet sitting on your lap whilst driving is akin to having your child sit on your lap whilst driving. It’s lunacy!! 😡
