I cannot understand the desire of sleeping under a 7kg blanket. My doonas are 90% down/10% feather and are super-light, it feels like sleeping under a cloud - love it. I am looking for silk-filled summer doonas.

Well, the alternative is for him to go to the store and pick the zucchini that meets his expectations. He shouldn't complain, he got a bargain when he was given a $5 credit.

You are the one that asked me if I was a citizen, followed by a comment that if I was not I didn't have any rights in this country! So here it goes: 1) I am a citizen of Australia and also of Great Britain 2) When I arrived in Australia in 1969, my passport was stamped with a "permanent...

I did say that and I did plan for my retirement, which is the reason why I do not get a pension. I am not complaining.

Naturally! Are you?

Interesting. I was "head-hunted" in 1968 and there was no mention at all that any part of the taxes I was going to pay would keep me in my old age. If someone told you that, they led you up the garden path as there has never been a concept in Australia that the tax you pay will go towards your...

Apparently a male voice was made available in the USA in 2021 by simply saying "Alexa, change your voice". I don't know if it is available in Australia yet, but even if it is, would you really want to stop your hubby's love affair with her?

I bet there are a few other things your Alexa can't do for you.

I pay no charges on my bank accounts or EFTPOS transactions. The only times I am charged for using a credit card is if I book a flight

How many times have you heard about little old ladies having had their handbags ripped off them to get hold of cash? Or how many homes have been broken into with robbers looking for cash among other things? Just before Christmas a couple of years ago, I found 2 x $100 notes next to the mailbox...

LOVE IT! I bought an Alexa for my son some years ago. When he got a puppy he turned Alexa on whenever he had to go out.

I guess you withdraw all your money when it hits your account and hide it under your mattress? It doesn't matter what you do or believe in, you cannot stop the world from turning on its axis, or from society moving forward. Sorry, but it is YOUR head that is stuck somewhere where it should...

Nobody stopping you. Whenever I have visitors they find it quite unique that they can tell Google to turn the light on and off, tell them jokes, play music, turn the radio on and off, tell them the latest news and set the alarm.

What about men cross dressing to look like women?

‘Five years ago, 43 per cent of all point of sale transactions were cash,’ he shared. ‘Today, the figure is around 15 per cent. I was among the 45% that used to do cash transactions 5 years ago, but now I am with the 85% that carries no cash at all. My partner still withdraws cash each week...

Yeah, nah! Not interested in buying an overpriced mattress. I am happy with the one I have

That's a rather broad assumption to make, just because their name is Meneghetti!

Sounds interesting. I hope Google will upgrade IA as well, as my Google gadget keeps telling me that she is "still learning". She also tells some awful "Dad" jokes: "As a golfer it's always handy to wear two pairs of pants. Why? Because you never know when you get a hole in one"
