    That earns this week’s gold medal for whining about a first world problem!

    'Have you never seen a chicken before?': Coles shopper makes surprising discovery on chicken drumsticks

    Please enlighten me as what I said that was derogatory. How can a question be derogatory?

    You won't believe these 20 phrases that modern technology has made extinct

    I still say 'I've taped that to watch later.' Hubby and I adore British crime dramas, but if we watch an episode of something, by the following week, we sometimes have problems remembering everything that happened the week before. If I tape the whole series, we can then watch an episode each...

    Find out the ‘outrageous’ complaint about an elderly couple that was revealed through a street note

    What wrong with people?! It boggles the mind that anyone would take exception to this act of kindness. I'm no longer able to walk without a walker and my husband needs to stop and rest on the seats provided in our retirement village when he walks our dog. People nowadays just seem to want to...

    The Cranky Codger: Self-Checkout Machines: The Silent Con Artists of the Supermarket Aisle

    As a cranky old codgerette, I agree with every word! I remember when Mum, armed with a shopping list, would go to 'The Co-op' in Wingham, with me in tow. She'd present the man behind the counter with her list, and he'd work his way through it while Mum chatted with other customers, or had a...

    'Have you never seen a chicken before?': Coles shopper makes surprising discovery on chicken drumsticks

    There is that of course. It's just that the current political environment has generated such negative and nasty feelings in us Aussies, that I believe it's time to look at the positive, the good in people and situations. Don't get me wrong, I can be an absolute bitch if someone or something...

    'Have you never seen a chicken before?': Coles shopper makes surprising discovery on chicken drumsticks

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Who's being made a fool of? Who said you had no right to an opinion? Whether the post is fake or not, I fail to see why it's necessary to call someone a four letter word. That usually comes from a place of anger. Of course, there is an alternative reason...

    'Have you never seen a chicken before?': Coles shopper makes surprising discovery on chicken drumsticks

    They're actually called pin feathers, but that's not Why would people get so vitriolic over something so trivial? It's a sad indictment of our society, that so many people seem to be in a perpetual state of anger! My question is why?

    Australian grandmother, Galit Carbone, confirmed dead in Israel-Palestine conflict

    The Jews have lived in this area for more than 5,000 years. If anyone 'owns' this land, it's the Jews. What's happening over there currently - I heard that Hamas bombed a hospital overnight our time - is not war. It's a systematic, deliberate attempt at genocide. I deplore the reaction of...

    This woman discovered 9 'harmless' blemishes that turned out to be cancer

    Thank you so much! I had a bit of a rant about this woman, because I'm sick and tired of the whingeing over very little. She must be a nightmare to live with! I'm off now to get my plate ready to take to the morning tea. Yummo! 😊

    Alan Joyce in hot water over Senate hearing on Qatar Airways

    That’s just political doublespeak. In this age of hurt feelings, triggering and other such PC nonsense, it would never do to simply say he was told he would be required to appear, especially when it’s someone as easily triggered as this fool.

    Alan Joyce in hot water over Senate hearing on Qatar Airways

    The arrogance of this man is mind blowing! He’s bled Qantas dry, and run home to Ireland because he’s too big a coward to face the repercussions of his actions.

    This woman discovered 9 'harmless' blemishes that turned out to be cancer

    You too are an incredible woman. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, because she obviously gets her strength and resilience from her wonderful Mum. ❤️🌷

    This woman discovered 9 'harmless' blemishes that turned out to be cancer

    So sorry to hear about your daughter. Please give her my very best wishes and tell her I can’t imagine what she’s going through but she must be an incredible woman. ❤️🌷

    This woman discovered 9 'harmless' blemishes that turned out to be cancer

    Look, I'm sorry, but I can't believe this woman's attitude! Nine BCCs! It's the least malignant of the three types of skin cancer, and a death from a BCC is extremely rare. Both my husband and I have lost count of the number of BCCs we've had removed, but for both of us, it's more than nine...

    The world mourns the loss of Dumbledore: Sir Michael Gambon passes away at 82

    Michael Gambon first came to my notice in the brilliant TV programme The Singing Detective, a product of the equally brilliant Dennis Potter who died far too soon. Anyone wanting to learn about psoriasis in the most unusual and entertaining way should watch The Singing Detective. Incidentally...

    Dispute erupts over 'gross' street scenes: Who's to blame for the mess?

    Nice to know that judgemental people are still spreading their joy and positivity far and wide. What makes the street 'bogan' in your opinion? Perhaps you never have rubbish to dispose of, so this puts you in a position to criticise everyone who does. Speaking of bogans, I could write a few...

    Dispute erupts over 'gross' street scenes: Who's to blame for the mess?

    I live in the Lake Macquarie council area in a suburb next to Cardiff and I'd like to inform the group that this is only for short time twice a year. It's all very well to say you shouldn't put your items out until the night before collection. Lake Macquarie Council gives you a date and it can...
