    Customers are fuming over this tiny detail on restaurant menu: ‘Don’t dine at this place’

    No I haven’t been caught like that but I would refuse to dine at such a concern. On our last cruise we were informed that an additional gratuity would be added to our bill for the ships staff and if we didn’t agree with it we didn’t have to pay. Of course I objected and it was then not charged...

    Hardware store implements new security measures following major cyberattack

    I haven’t been very clear on that but there should be more backup for people who have been hacked my law makers and others to stop the hackers getting away with it so often

    Hardware store implements new security measures following major cyberattack

    No I know nothing of Total Tools but it is very confusing to be told recently of all the breaches of confidentiality these concerns are having. Only the other day I got something from a company and I had to call my financial advisor to find out whethet there was any risk in communicating with...

    Queen Margrethe rushed to the hospital after sudden fall

    I am a royalist and therefore regard the system we have as the best because they do not interfere in our politics and they have significant historical significance. You only have to consider the mess politically in the USA to appreciate this. The Danish Royals demonstrate too how much respect...

    AIBU 20.09.2024

    Actually you are expected by law to share the cost of your fence with your neighbour. I think you should have decided together what was the best way of doing this. It looks like the agreement was not considered thoroughly and so you have a problem if you don’t pay up. Better to do this I think...

    Reinvent Your Driveway Etiquette: Sydney Man's Genius Hack Stops Public Urination Dead in Its Tracks!

    I do believe that people have said that urinating on the lemon tree produces effective fertilisation and I remember a relative peeing on his hands to relieve ‘frost bite ‘. He worked out doors and getting this was a common occurrence when it was very cold. Apparently this produced an effective...

    Find out what Sunrise's Sam Mac is diving into after welcoming his new baby girl!

    I think that Mac is such an endearing man and obviously so proud to be a father. I wish he and his young family all the very best for the future. My favourite book to read to my grandsons was Hairy McCreary from Donaldsons Dairy. The book almost sings to you as you read it. … We loved it…

    Hundreds of shoppers lose money as Coles’ IT glitch charged them twice

    Makes sense to do this but I’m sure many don’t do this. Incidentally it’s always good for the store rather than the customer!!

    Hundreds of shoppers lose money as Coles’ IT glitch charged them twice

    Yes and usually there is no problem. But it can we very frustrating when you have to go back to the shop to be reimbursed. Mistakes happen - that’s part of our daily lives

    Australian Federal Police uncover jaw-dropping amounts of drugs hiding in unsuspecting shipment

    I think we witness the effects of drug-takers every day. The jails are full of them. They are often peddled in jails and pushed to students. I believe a very high proportion of unlawfulness is usually done when people are under the influence. And yet nicotine and alcohol is freely available...

    This major caravan blunder sparks call for driver's licence overhaul: ‘It’s scary and very dangerous’

    It’s not appropriate to show a picture of a motor home which has no tow bar when highlighting overweight effects on towing. I have seen many towed vehicles overweight by seeing the weight load obviously not spread across the load and only on the towing mechanism. There have been times when I...

    Microbes outpacing medicine: Health catastrophe threatening to take us back to dark ages

    Because I am aware of the possibility of antibiotics becoming non-active due to overuse I am not a fan of being prescribed them too regularly. But I rely on the wisdom of my GP not to over-supply me with these. It seems that knowledge of the antibiotics is essential
