    Macca's worker refused to clean and quit mid-shift – reasonable or not?

    I wonder what would happen if a war broke out and people had to fight for their country? Would these same people who don't like getting their hands dirty, defend their country? I am thankful that I grew up in an era where you just did what had to be done and did what you were paid to do. I...

    This Aussie traveller was 'wedged between two obese people' on her flight and she's not happy about it

    I have an obese friend who always books and pays for 2 seats. That is called manners and respect. Yes she has a medical condition which causes this issue. Her heart is as big as she is . I agree with most of the comments that if someone wants to play the blame game.....who allocates the seats.

    ‘Inconsiderate’ passenger slammed in viral ‘hair plane’ ride on Tiktok

    I like the suggestion about closing the table on her hair. Very rude and I am sure that if someone had done it to her she would have been outraged. Call the cabin crew. I had an experience with a rather large male who had the aisle seat. He sat down, spread his arms out to take over both...

    Vulnerable clients allegedly being overcharged by the Office of the Public Trustee

    This does not surprise me at all, My Mum was put in charge of her brothers will and the will was done through the PT. Lets just say that Mum, until that time had also had her will done with them. After what she experienced, she immediately paid for a solicitor to do her will and also her...

    Bride calls off the wedding after the groom did this behind her back! Is she a Bridezilla or justified?

    Wow I believe that she has dodged a big bullet. She would have been marrying his mother and him! MIL would have been the one born in hell. Sorry that your wedding is off however I think in the light of day and in time, you will realise just how lucky you were to escape marrying a man...

    Good on her and anyone else who just does it! I was a runner in my younger days and often think that even at 70, I should give it a go. Maybe 2023 will be the year to try it out

    Christmas Competition!

    Being one of 6 children and our parents having a very large back yard, our Christmas days were always a huge gathering. Obligatory cricket played and a lot of cheating of course, and afternoon tea was cold watermelon (Australian Summer!) and at night, we always had a family concert. Every family...

    Poll: Do you think the sentiment of respecting your elders has been lost on the new generation?

    I have always said that respect is s dual edged sword. If you don't give it, you will not get it in return. I have and always will, respected my elders however if anyone, of any age disrespects me, then it is a different ball game. My motto in life and always has been "if you wouldn't like it...

    Starting next week, you could be fined $660 for this simple supermarket trolley act

    I always return my empty trolley as I figure it was a lot heavier to get it to my car so its pretty easy to put it back where it belongs for the next person.

    Retirees are outraged by new changes that could leave them without enough income

    As usual, the ones who have worked the longest - most of us since our early teens, and paid huge taxes and 17.75% housing interest are again being slogged. While this is happening, those bludgers who have never worked a day in their lives and some who milk the system get more, never get...

    BEWARE: Facebook Marketplace almost cost this woman her life

    I use a bank account with $50 in it when I have to give out bank details so if it is a scam, that is all I lose. I was just contacted by a person saying they wanted to buy our camper and to contact them via a private email. I wrote back and said "Have been instructed by Gumtree to only do...

    Doctors shocked to find brain tumour the size of a lemon in a woman who had NO cancer symptoms

    I wish her all the best. What a fighter. My young friend was 32 diagnosed with breast cancer - treated it and all good for 2 years then it was back with a vengeance. At 34 she was told she had 6 weeks - her response "Suck eggs, I'm going to prove you wrong". 8 1/2 years later after enjoying...

    Prince Harry shares new details about his son Archie

    Personally I think that they have done the right thing. Harry will never be King and quite frankly who would want to be. I still believe that William should be King now not Charles. I held the Queen in the highest regard however Royalty to me is not a thing. It is old hat.
