I believe that taking up the government's offer of "free" solar power you must sign away your power subsidy rights for a certain number of years. I do not have solar power. My electricity bills have never been over $70 a month, but I am expecting that to change with all the price hikes. I live...

What an excellent way to spread the wonderment of the Christmas season. Just imagine the children, not the real little ones but the ones who are on the brink of accepting that Santa is just make-believe. My goodness, a real live reindeer, then Santa is real too (for one more year at least!)

Alright not a supermarket but Big W at Tuggerah. Yesterday I spent around 50 minutes wandering through, picking up the stuff I wanted to purchase. Got to the front of the store - no one was on the registers (not even the self service). So I went to the young fellow standing at the front and...
