    'I had to go to the emergency department': Global food trend puts one Aussie to the hospital

    The biggest problem in her life is that she doesn't know how to rinse the blonde treatment out of her hair ... she probably didn't read those instructions, either. If she had, she might have seen where they said,"Beware! Continual use of this treatment can have long-lasting, unwanted effects...

    'I had to go to the emergency department': Global food trend puts one Aussie to the hospital

    Mandolin or mandoline? Speaking of dangerous objects around the home: how about razors, mousetraps, any kind of knife or fork, scissors, ladders, electrical outlets, roller chairs, skates ... how far must you go to show that ANYTHING used in a way that it's not designed for is dangerous? Overkill?

    Fake celebrity online investment scams

    The thing that floors me is that, out of all the people in Straya, Twiggy (or Gina, or Dick, or Kochie, or Ally, or Albo, or anybody else whose AI face bobs up on the screen) is appealing to me, personally, to get in on one of these seemingly limited-offer schemes.

    A new employment scam is targeting job seekers on social media - here's what you need to know

    In your blurb, you say "it is believed that scammers are disguising the ad with legitimate-looking logos ... " Gee, ay? How long has it taken for this fact to be known, publicised and disseminated? How many times do you have to be told? There's one going around in Queensland (I call it...

    Woolworths and Coles shoppers in shock over quality of self-serve cameras: ‘Meant to make you look ugly’

    As well as those steps, why not drop a line to the store manager -- or even, Allah be praised, seeing we're becoming a lot more Muslimised, the CEO of the chain you're having a whinge about about -- explaining your reasons for doing so? Maybe a bit (or a bit more if people get off their acre?)...

    You can always put in a dud Medicare number ansd let them waste a bit of time adding it to their list of scam contacts, but block and delete the email straight away. How sweet would it be if everybody adopted this way of getting back at them, no matter how small a start it is ...

    Like that well-known Strayan mongoose says, "Simples! Just stay at home, tucked up in bed with your current issues of Woman's Daze and No Idea, don't listen to the ones who put the frighteners on you, make sure mummy feeds you many cups of nourishing hot pea and ham soup, turn off the cretiniser...

    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    Exactly ... but what would be the chances of getting any of our spineless politicians to do something about it? When the notices went up that cash as not accepted for a completely legal transaction, they should have forced the businesses to add that credit cards were equally acceptable and...
