    Chris Walker, partner of Carrie Bickmore, caught naked on Skype call

    Counselling for seeing "the rather unpleasant act" ?? Omg 😲 What is unpleasant about the human body? What is unpleasant about removing clothing? If seeing naked people causes such trauma then TV, movies and the internet in general better be banned - Hollywood too & all the realistic dolls now...

    Viral BIN BAG hack on TikTok shocks Bachelor star Matty J: "What!?"

    Yep! When free plastic bags were first phased out, I bought a set of those bins which has the plastic buckets with handles. No plastic bags needed - just empty house buckets into council bins and rinse out house buckets regularly. Putting food waste etc into the organic bin means neither rubbish...

    ALDI’s new eco-friendly initiative divides social media — can you see what the fuss is about?

    🤣 Such a carry on ....... I stopped using straws when I read somewhere that using them increases lines around the mouth !!

    DIY hack for cleaning silver jewellery in MINUTES using common pantry staples

    I wouldn't use Coke on precious jewellery...... My late husband was a mechanic & we used Coke for cleaning car parts, tools & his overalls. Once forgot about a pair of overalls left soaking, went away & came back to find they'd nearly dissolved into mush about a week later! Haven't drunk Coke...

    Yes indeed! I worked for a jeweller for many years and that's exactly what we used so often.

    Millions of Australians get access to $1600 financial aid — here’s everything you need to know

    Wouldn't it make more sense for the government to control the prices instead of allowing deregulation & paying out extra money?? Why isn't the fact that so many people have solar panels used as part of the supply instead of penalised? Why is Australia (one of the sunnier countries on earth) not...

    Internet expresses support for woman who shares her reasons on why she decided to not have a baby

    I agree with you, Ricci. I wonder whether the 'me, me, me' generation have the ability to think of anyone else.... I wonder if it occurs to them that their own mother (and millions more through the centuries) took all those risks (and far more in many cases) .... I wonder if they are able to...

    Budget-friendly buy from Bunnings banishes flies like magic – “A true lifesaver!”

    Thankfully I have pets who hate flying insects even more than I do! My son's dog is a ferocious fly killer! He hates those 'sky raisins' with a passion 🤣 However, the best solution I've found is to grow lots of fly & mozzie deterrent plants around my external doors - I grow lemon grass, basil...

    What do Americans think about Australian cuisine? The answer will shock you…

    Like we really need to care what narrow minded people of any nationality think? America has an appalling health crisis with obesity & diabeties out of control....... and if we don't stop importing their corn syrup laden rubbish we'll end up as bad!

    Woolworths’ banana guide sparks a heated debate among users and leaves shoppers extremely puzzled – “Wait, what?”

    Weird! So exactly how many people have never had banana fritters (cooked bananas!) Even fast food joint Red Rooster sells them regularly! I've been eating bananas both raw & cooked for more than 60 years 🙃 and even one of my cats loves bananas muffins ...... but a family favourite is to throw a...

    The TRUTH behind why Aussies may opt for fast-food restaurants over a grocery run

    🤣🤣🤣 or maybe, just maybe, a lot of people are like me & get fed up cooking every night but don't really feel inspired to go out to a restaurant/pub because a) it would mean getting dressed up & b) the pandemic is not yet over so I limit my physical interactions with others ..... but hey, fast...

    Woolies employees reveal ONE of their pet peeves – customers requesting "no substitutions" in their orders

    I too have never had a bad experience with shopping online - and I continue to do it still because the pandemic is not actually over - but also because its fantastic!! Yes, sometimes things are not the same as going myself but mostly it's simply wonderful! One of my children lives in...

    The best ways to connect with others in retirement

    Volunteering makes the world go round! I've done it all my life and it feels so much more satisfying than paid employment to me. There are so many organisations which are desperate for help and by doing as many as you can manage you create a wider circle of contacts too.

    Australian couple’s date night gets scrutinised by Americans, Aussies quickly defend the couple — "As an Aussie, I say that it's 100 per cent normal"

    Having grown up on a farm we never wore shoes inside the house ..... but we often didn't wear them outside either 🤣 It was easier to wash our feet than to clean our boots/shoes constantly - and, no doubt this will horrify people who think humans should be always sterile; homogenised...

    Australian couple’s date night gets scrutinised by Americans, Aussies quickly defend the couple — "As an Aussie, I say that it's 100 per cent normal"

    By association though, shoes are extremely unhygienic things also & many people walk in & out of their houses wearing germy shoes.

    Mum leaves filthy toilet seat GLISTENING thanks to unlikely Chemist Warehouse buy - “Holy moly! You’re a saviour!”

    The obviously tricky, selective photography aside, who allows their toilet seat to get into that state in the first place? That's not the result of a missed clean - that is serious neglect & most unhygienic! Even (or should I say especially?) in a rental property - the first thing I'd be doing...

    As others have already said - this is not new because we were nearly all doing I back in the 70s - have a look at pics of Bon Scott etc 🤣 My hubby & his mates used to do it = jeans so tight they could not sit down!!

    Mum wearing a 'DO NOT TOUCH' sign in supermarket recalls 'traumatising' history behind it

    Why is it such a thing to go overboard like this!? Forty years ago it was sufficient to just say "please don't" to anyone - including random 'little old ladies' and put myself between my child & the other person.
