    American expat faces backlash after revealing that she has been served an “unAustralian” Bunnings sausage sizzle — “Instant deportation, no remorse!”

    Maybe some Bunnings arent playing by the Bunnings rules ........ and a bun would merely make a pseudo hotdog really.

    Woman on TikTok sparks outrage for wanting husband to get a vasectomy

    The fact that she used the word 'when' is what I noticed first. 'When we divorce' ..... That she felt the need to boast about it is the second thing - but I don't know why I'm surprised 😅

    Husband’s controversial tip for a happy marriage receives MASSIVE backlash – “Terrible Advice!”

    Maybe putting his partner first is why that man has been married 54 years - which I'm willing to bet none of his critics are anywhere near that ! Only people who have been married longer can really debate his statement to be fair ....... There is a famous quote (attributed to Theodore Hesburgh...

    5 simple tricks to ‘out of this world’ mash revealed by Michelin-trained chef

    Totally agree, and apart from the last step, is how my mum taught me to make mashed potatoes, parsnip etc...... but I mash & then whip/beat the sh*t out of them until they are smooooth! However, my chef son does use a potato ricer - which is a weird thing a bit like a big garlic press for those...

    A comparison of Australian house prices in 1996 and 2021 — how much has inflation affected the affordability of homes in the current times?

    My husband & I started married life in a converted single garage behind my parents house, and added a verandah with a bathroom. They had done the same - with Dad's parents - and my Dad built a new bedroom as each child arrived. His parents started out their married life in a 2 room converted...

    If Looks Could Kill: Grace Tame’s meeting with PM Scott Morrison

    In my opinion, it was an appallingly bad mannered display of self centeredness and lack of maturity. She showed she thinks her opinion is more important than showing respect for the occasion and his office even if she does not personally like the man. Why did she bother attending? This year...

    Time traveller says that humans will cease to exist in 2028 — “I’m starting to lose hope”

    He is displaying a marvellous imagination & sharing it in a modern way! I've actually just finished reading two intriguing novels about time travel and highly recommend both for a good read - the first is The Midnight Library by Matt Haig & the second is It's Not You, It's Me by Gabrielle Williams.

    Genius hack for easily placing a plastic bag inside a bin makes the rounds on social media — “So going to do this!”

    While I happily used plastic shopping bags as bin liners in the past, now they've been phased out & I refuse to buy plastic bin liners - so I bought a bin from Big W with those lift out buckets. By simply washing out the buckets when I empty them into the big bins I've now been plastic bag free...

    Distressed newlyweds cry for help as “neighbour from hell” builds giant fence that could trap them from their home — “It’s like living in a nightmare”

    IrthlingboroughCouncil is in the UK. This isn't happening in Australia so why we're even hearing about it makes me wonder.......

    THREE major bin mistakes Aussies make - do you make them too?

    For those of us with time to spare like me, I did a trip to my local recycling centre to learn first hand what goes where, etc. It was very educational 😁 so what I do now is have a box in my garage for anything which can't go in my council bins and occasionally do a 'tip run' to the recycling...
