    Who will take home the title of top retailer? Power Retail reveals SHOCKING results

    Bunnings has bigger stores now, but all they have is more of the same boring stuff they had before! Great they are going in to PET CARE lines, but as for tools, building & renovation bits & pieces / Bunnings is as boring as batshit! And has been for years! Total lack of innovation in any area...

    Aussie renter horrified after receiving 'predatory' letter from real estate agent

    Oh for goodness sake! These letters have been used by real estate agents for YEARS! They are fishing for more business, that’s all! I am staggered that the “oh so precious” cottonwool wrapped little twits are taking great offence at receiving this marketing tool from a R/E Agent! What a pack...

    How much do YOU think the Age Pension should be?

    It is unfair that a single pensioner gets less than a couple. Two ppl using one light or heater is the same as One person using one light or heater but singles are penalised for being single! Couples can buy Supermarket specials where buying 2 items is cheaper than buying one. Singles cannot...

    Cadbury's bizarre response to customer complaint leaves fans shocked - ‘Are you serious?’

    Why do these idiots feel they must constantly brag to the world how clever they hv been? It is as stupid as putting pics of yr kids up then complaining when they get kidnapped. Stop promoting yourselves. You invite trouble, and no one is that interested in you or yr life.

    Shopper warns that beans from Woolies could 'explode' in your pantry

    Tins of Golden Circle Pineapple Pieces that bulged out at each end as the seam splits, tin of Heinz Tomato Soup that splits at the seam, and a small tin of Golden Circle Beetroot splitting at its seam - all in my pantry. This happens far too often. I thought it was defective can making and my...

    I do have the Seniors card (blue & Wht). Just discovered I made a ‘boo-boo’. The blue-Wht-gold plastic card is in NSW only. Must hv had a ‘senior’ moment! Like losing the mobile phone last Tuesday night until Saturday afternoon. Found it on a box of books, having put it down to move a ladder I...

    Find out how this mum got her 'luxury' nails for an unbelievable price - it's not what you think!

    Been using stick on “fake” nails for years. I’ve stuck them on in the car on the way to functions, even when on the train - anytime my own nails hare looking worse for wear after gardening or cleaning silver etc. No problem getting them off - just washing the dishes w no gloves on and they...

    WATCH: Dramatic Scene on Flight as Police Escort Intoxicated Passenger Off Plane as Angry Onlookers Cheer

    It does not help when YOBBOS yell out and sing idiot songs at the incident. Why do Aussie blokes hv to repeatedly display rudeness and ignorance when in public. Bali flight, was it?

    Social media divided over 'concerning' aisle act at Woolies

    Amazed you do not demand to actually SEE each trolley being hand washed and chamois dried before you put yr shopping into that trolley you use every visit to the supermarket. These ppl are told to get it out and do it fast. They do not hv time to be precious abt handling. Trays are double and...

    This woman’s ‘biohack’ is convenient — and the internet is NOT having it

    Have you not read FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury? If not, borrow frm yr library or buy in ebay today. It is our future (one version) if not already here. A film was made in 1960s and a remake in 2018. Originally published in 1953, it is still relevant, and entertaining, 70 yrs on. It was in my...

    Aussie renter horrified after receiving 'predatory' letter from real estate agent

    Stupid creature! Nothing predatory at all! Many agents, if not all, do exactly this quite often! I receive 3-4 of this type of marketing letter every six months from different real estate agents seeking me as a client to sell my home. It means Commission for them if you choose them, and...

    Strawberry pavlova

    Who remembers when we could BUY a little carton of Frozen SIX EGGS WHITES? Mum always had one in the fridge and wld knock up a pavlova anytime! She used the proper way to make pavs: a circle of brown paper on the pavlova tray, dampened. Pav mix over that spread all the way out to the edges and...
