    No judgement from me. I've seen and heard more in my life than most. ❤️

    Broadcaster Alan Jones taken into custody after several allegations

    To those hoping fellow prisoners will make him suffer if he's convicted and gaoled, I believe there's as much chance of his being put with the general prison population as there is of hell freezing over.

    Protect your computers and phones: these six words could make you a hacker's next victim

    To be fair, how many people are likely to ask that question? I'm online a lot and I've never seen anything like it. Apart from that, I didn't even know Bengal cats existed.

    Heartless Bikers Devastate a Sydney Charity Shop - Could Your Local Store Be Next?

    That's a particular model of motorbike, probably an old BSA or Norton. If you look at modern bikes,the fronts don't have this configuration. The Brains Trust (Hubby) assures me that no modern bikes are like your picture.

    Heartless Bikers Devastate a Sydney Charity Shop - Could Your Local Store Be Next?

    If you have a look at the front of a motorbike, you can see how there's no room for one. If a numberplate were positioned further back on the mudguard, the angle would make it difficult to read because it would be pointing upwards instead of forward. I definitely see your point, though.

    Super fund faces criticism for delaying over 10,000 claims for months

    Perhaps if Cbus Super spent less on advertising, they could afford to pay their claimants.

    Heartless Bikers Devastate a Sydney Charity Shop - Could Your Local Store Be Next?

    Actually, back in the day, motorbikes had a front plate. I vaguely remember when it was decided that they should be removed. I just consulted with the brains trust (Hubby) and he said it was for safety reasons. Apparently, if the bike rider hit a pedestrian, the plate caused severe injuries...

    Unfortunately, thieves apparently tend not to believe the signs.

    Heartless Bikers Devastate a Sydney Charity Shop - Could Your Local Store Be Next?

    As a holder of a motorbike licence since 1969, I know a thing or two about motorbikes. Motorbike owners are required to register their bikes. All registered bikes are required to have a rear number plate. Motorbike riders have to undergo stringent testing before they're given a licence. My...

    Weird food pairings: What’s your favourite odd combo?

    My contribution to gastronomy is the cucumber and Vegemite sandwich. Yum! Don't knock it till you've tried it.

    You Won't Believe How Much Less You're Paying for Groceries Than People in Indigenous Communities! Check Out the Shocking Price Differences!

    I'm glad I was able to broaden your knowledge by giving you the impetus to do some research. By your own admission you knew little of this situation and Jacinta until today, yet you tell me, involved in this for years, that your view is more valid than mine. However, it's become obvious that...

    You Won't Believe How Much Less You're Paying for Groceries Than People in Indigenous Communities! Check Out the Shocking Price Differences!

    It was patently obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence, that you were referring to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as that tired old term 'coconut'. The point I was making was that the supermarkets are not the ones gouging prices in remote communities. Do you really believe that there is a...

    You Won't Believe How Much Less You're Paying for Groceries Than People in Indigenous Communities! Check Out the Shocking Price Differences!

    I rely on the information and experience of those who've lived their entire lives in communities all over the NT and WA. Admittedly one of my friends has only lived in a remote area of the Kimberleys for 57 years, so what would she know? You quote your lived experience of 'a few weeks' as the...

    You Won't Believe How Much Less You're Paying for Groceries Than People in Indigenous Communities! Check Out the Shocking Price Differences!

    Her name is JacinTa. At no time did I write that the Big Men and the supermarkets are colluding. As to your 'Uncle Tom' reference, I'll treat that with the contempt it deserves. If you're going to slag people off, provide evidence for your remarks. You appear to be very fond of asking others...

    You Won't Believe How Much Less You're Paying for Groceries Than People in Indigenous Communities! Check Out the Shocking Price Differences!

    Friends who've lived and do live and who've worked and do work in remote communities. I have friends in remote communities in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. We're in daily contact. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is my skin niece. Her mother Bess was born under a tree. Her father Dave...

    You Won't Believe How Much Less You're Paying for Groceries Than People in Indigenous Communities! Check Out the Shocking Price Differences!

    A little known fact about indigenous communities is the concept of the 'Big Men'. Most of these communities have these men in charge of everything coming in. Because of the kinship law, the Big Men are expected to look after family first. Once the families of the Big Men and their kin have as...

    Bit disrespectful. If that's the problem, why would you not have the intestinal fortitude to say so? I can't cook for nuts, but I'm good at lots of other things, including respecting people's feelings. I have two possible solutions. Instead of the host doing all the cooking, have family...

    Major Aussie fashion brand enters voluntary administration

    I saw no mention of Millers, Rivers or Katies in the article. These three are what many seniors depend on on, not JayJays, Portmans or other stores mentioned in the article. Not only that, but I saw no mention of any of the Myer takeover stores going into liquidation.

    Goodness knows. It's probably not what they had in mind for him, but he's an adult now, so there's not a lot they can do. If indeed they want to do anything.
