    Singapore Airlines apologises to injured Australian couple after flight turbulence

    Have been told the dangerous part in flying is the take-off and landing. The amount of people who are walking freely when the plane has just landed, still moving is beyond me, pure stupidity. Turbulence is weather controlled, but slightly agree with cockpit warnings could have diverted this...

    'That threw me off!': Expat lists down 'side-splitting' list of Aussie oddities

    Coffee in America is disgustingly awful. No matter what I added, it was awful. I really don’t know how you can offend such a humble bean?

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

    What is being taught in the colleges of art? Why does everything have to be cartoon or caricatures? Can’t anyone paint seriously anymore? My father would be disgusted with all this waste of paint.

    Putting 'Straya' clichés on ice: Aussies bust myths and break stereotypes on social media!

    I have encountered 3 brown snakes that were killed by a station owner, and were hanging over the fence at Taralga. A lime green tree snake curling around our fountain in Bulahdelah and a fake cobra snake along the bush track, he stood up, we stood still then retreated. Have been here 52...

    ‘Bad idea’: Cruise passengers' 'disrespectful' behaviour sparks outrage

    Good grief!! I cannot believe these people. Sleep inside with the door open for heavens sake. Or, sleep on one of the many lounges by the pool if you are that hot.

    Authorities name victim of catastrophic turbulence incident on Singapore Airlines flight

    I too, cannot understand the absolute hurry to be the first off the plane! We have ALL been confined for hours, just sit, wait and conduct yourselves responsibly, but no way, pushing, shoving and saying can I pass to everyone. I always sit comfortably, watch the chaos, the large hand luggage...

    Actually, I never knew Sweet Fanny Adams, but a daughter of an artist, I do seem to know some aspects of ART.

    King Charles’ portrait reigns over social media for a ‘creepy’ reason

    The artist said he captured the sitters life experiences, what? As a king in waiting yes, but as a King, he merits some distinction of a ruler. Awful, just absolutely awful. He should go back to art school, or maybe art college and do a revision course on portraits.

    Delivery worker banned after taking an unconventional approach to their job

    Australia was known for its idiosyncratic humour, that has all but disappeared. Having just arrived back from the U.K., I feel Australia is becoming very rule oriented, bordering on communistic ways. Don’t do this, don’t do that, speak this way, don’t speak like that, you’re racist, I’m just...

    Buzzkill Down Under leaves Brit wishing she could fly away

    Aah! The bush, love it to bits. We lived in a condemned house, complete with blow flies coming down the chimney when I was cooking, a family of field mice in the chest of drawers, also mice loving peanuts and trying to drag them through the hole in the wall! An angora goat that dropped her...

    'Old-school' discipline is back? Parents share thoughts on classroom guidelines

    I just knew it would bite them in the end. No discipline of any kind rears prococious brats. I learnt when to keep quiet, when to speak, how to behave in public all before I went to school. It’s a parents job, parenting is not easy, but children do yearn for guidance, and discipline is...
