    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    Oh Suzanne! Surely you know the reason for that! He begged his mother for almost 20 years for permission to marry Camilla, but was refused on the grounds that Camilla wasn't a virgin. And that was before she married her first husband. They met as teenagers. Why do people find it necessary to...

    Negatively and bitterness towards people who have no personal affect on your life is soul destroying. Thank you though for your respectful manner of address.

    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    Do not tell me to 'get a grip!' Do you realise what you're saying? Let me enlighten you: 1. You must spend a lot of time reading up on Charles to be aware of his personal habits. I suspect you do this to gain ammunition to bad mouth him in comments like this. Sad. 2. If you really believe...

    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    Do you really believe that? If so, you should get to grips with the facts. As I enter my 80th year, it appalls me to see the bitterness and judgement being thrown around by women. Rarely men. Two things: why does Charles not deserve to be happy? Had the queen not forbidden their marriage in...

    Remembering the life of actress and performer Mitzi Gaynor (93)

    The use of the word 'tragedy' was very deliberate. Almost every week we're assailed with screaming headlines about the death of some 'celebrity' from a drug overdose or a fall. We're told it's a tragedy and news reports go on for days. Take the current saturation of the media with the death of...

    Remembering the life of actress and performer Mitzi Gaynor (93)

    Now THAT'S a tragedy! She was a brilliant dancer and actress. She was so good in South Pacific. I'm remembering her now singing 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair'. How many women could still look stunningly beautiful while washing their hair, and singing and dancing? Also 'Cockeyed...

    ‘Neck’ level challenge: Tennis icon shares shocking hospital bed update after surgery

    Look, I'm sorry, but why is it that when someone 'famous' has a minor medical condition, everyone says how brave they are and how we must send messages of support and good will. It's highly likely that the rest of us mere mortals would have this done as a day procedure and then go home and get...

    ABC presenter Tony Armstrong faces backlash over controversial side job amid integrity concerns

    I frequently write the following on social media: The ABC is nothing more or less than the propaganda arm of Labor and the Greens.

    Locals are furious! See the shocking 'entitled' act at a famous Australian beach that everyone is talking about.

    The world's gone mad! This sense of entitlement is mind blowing! Look, I'm sorry, but if our family decides to have a party or picnic in the local park, we take our chances. If the tables are all taken, we sit on camp chairs that we have the forethought to bring with us, and spread a picnic...

    Who in god's name thinks your comment is funny? Whoever it is needs to have a good, hard look at themselves. Unless they accidentally pressed the wrong emoji. It's happened to me.

    You Won't Believe Which Aussie Slang Words Shocked This US Expat – They're Taboo in America!

    You know, I started wondering if the Americans had a sense of humour when I was a kid and heard that they couldn't understand The Goon Show or any British comedy if it comes to that. I now know they don't. They're so hypocritical. They have an attack of the vapours at the word 'oldies', yet...

    This 'Weird Splinter' Left an Aussie Woman in Pain – Here's Her Warning That Could Save You Discomfort and Worry

    As country kid, I've had more ticks on me than most, because my friends and I spent time in a 10 acre patch of bush next door. We just used to pull them off and keep playing. Looking back, it amazes me that I survived childhood. Almost every thing we did as kids has now been named dangerous or...

    Her husband isn't responsible for her happiness. I'm so tired of women expecting men to be all things to their female partners. It's increasingly common to read replies to letters like this blaming men. I've had many hobbies over the years and none of them negatively affected my husband or...

    Centrelink or luxury link? Unravelling the mystery of unemployed man’s million-dollar haul

    I know a young man (early 30s) who's on NDIS for what I don't know, because he's physically strong and very bright. His mother is also on welfare. I've often wondered how they can afford to live the way they do. He's a dedicated supporter of the local NRL team. What REALLY pissed me off was...
