    Woolworths reveals truth behind 'spy camera' in-store

    Boy, oh boy ... I've seen some lame excuses in my time, but Woolworths' one that these LED lights "help personal shoppers find the next item on their list" has got to top "the dog ate my homework" in terms of idiocy and outright stupidity. Are we to believe that, in these days of booming...

    Is your grocery bill getting out of hand? Here’s what the ACCC can and can’t do for shoppers!

    What can the ACCC do about it? Sweet FA, Your Honour, in the same way as they can't/won't do a thing about the fuel price rorts or cutting the taxes on alcohol.

    Beware of the 'Jet Frog' on your bank statement—here's why it could cost you big time!

    Or your gender, name, address, country, car rego, hair colour, shoe size ... and even then the bastards would find a way to get into your life.

    Beware of the 'Jet Frog' on your bank statement—here's why it could cost you big time!

    What a world ... 'member the much-ballyhooed phrase that computers were going to make things so much simpler in the future? BRING BACK THE SLATE, I say.

    Beware of the 'Jet Frog' on your bank statement—here's why it could cost you big time!

    Without knowing the ins and outs of your particular way of doing things, does that mean you've got a bar on every creuit/debit card you have, then, when you want to put something on those cards, you re-apply to have the bar taken off a particular card? Even, let's say, if you want to put the...

    Beware of the 'Jet Frog' on your bank statement—here's why it could cost you big time!

    Nup, not all that much, but we think they're all pretty much tarred with the same brush. Since we went to another bank after getting done for about $36,000, we think things might have changed a little bit better. But if your bank sends you a notification that they can refund you about $6,000...

    Beware of the 'Jet Frog' on your bank statement—here's why it could cost you big time!

    So, reading all that, it appears that "Jet Frog" is identifiable by the banks as a scam outfit and they "have flagged future transacrions" using that name. That's one. Beauty. How soon will it be before another mob gets on to it -- if they haven't already -- using the same setup and any one...

    Government identifies Medibank hacker who compromised over 9 million Australians

    Now all we have to do is wait for the massive fine, or jail time, to ensue ... or maybe he can sens along a letter of apology on a used Kleenex .

    Home Alone actor hospitalised ahead of domestic violence trial

    How terribly, terribly pathetic it is that people live their lives so vicariously through made-up characters on a television or movie screen.

    Optus' shocking admission: Triple-0 failure affects more people than you think!

    But the head serang DID say something which resembled "sorry", so everything's hunky dory ...

    Authorities report time and place Cyclone Kirrily will make landfall

    Yes, and true to form , this time they don't want to put the frighteners on anyone, so some sections of the radio news "media", for want of a better word, in their weather blitherings, have let it be known that there could be strong winds up north.

    You might be paying way too much for alcoholic drinks because of this 'inefficient tax'

    So, what's the "cult favourite", as espoused in the head?

    Medion Australia receives $260,000 fine from communications watchdog due to SIM-swapping scam

    I bet you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and fairy tales, too.

    ‘Abuse of power’: Government investigates soaring grocery prices

    Last time I looked, we weren't living under a totalitarian government, although some practices by the Queensland mob are fast approaching that style of doing things. Really, how much power has a government got to dictate to a private concern how to run its business (take fuel, for instance)...

    You won't believe what Today host Karl Stefanovic falsely claimed about ex-president Barack Obama

    Yes, I would believe ANYTHING that Stefanovic said, because he did say it. However, I don't believe in anything that Stefanovic says, because he's an absolute waste of space and television time. But he is running true to form with the general standards of TV pronouncers these days. Isn't there...

    You won't believe what Today host Karl Stefanovic falsely claimed about ex-president Barack Obama

    Here's an indication of just how many brain cells this fool can bring to his task. Once upon a time, little Karl was being shown around an opal claim -- it might have been Coober Pedy, but it doesn't matter. He was nattering on in the usual Karl manner to the owner of the claim about opal mining...

    You won't believe what Today host Karl Stefanovic falsely claimed about ex-president Barack Obama

    Weak as First Nations' non-male urine, to clean up an old Strayan saying. If Stefanovic told me that Monday follows Sunday, I wouldn't believe him.
