    Oh no! Council’s move on bins leaves residents ‘offended’: ‘I thought it was funny’

    You must live in the same area as me. I’ve watched the council car creep along and stop to inspect bins. The passenger then reaches a stick with a hook out, lifts the lid and looks. He can’t see more than a couple of inches into the bin, drops the lid and they move onto the next. Needless to say...

    Monarchist groups criticise premiers for absent reception during royal visit

    Well if you’re GGGrandfather hadn’t been sent here for what in those days was considered a crime, you’d probably be living in England and have a completely different view of royalty. Maybe time to let it go.

    This state’s controversial measure slams $925 fine for doing this in public spaces!

    I think it’s more to address the alcohol/domestic violence abuse that affects a huge portion of aboriginal communities. Yes the elders deal with punishment to a degree but that’s not enough sometimes. I know it’s nice to have an outing and consume a couple of alcoholic drinks but is it so...

    Is the rise of 'King William’ tearing the Royal Family apart’?

    The palace and various others (Army Air Force, Navy, etc) all have protocols in place if a monach passes away whether expected or not. Those protocols and lists of duties to be carried out by all are updated on a very regular basis. So naturally they are preparing for Charle’s death and will...

    Kmart's $15 ballet flats mimic $1740 Khaite Marcy design

    Why do these dupes have to stand the test of time? Most are bought to be fashionable for that particular time and season and then a new shoe,bag, etc, is bought for the next season. I’m betting the $1740 pair are only worn for that particular season and once that’s past and they become...

    Secret trick Aussies use to score gourmet meals at 70% discount

    The concept sounds great. Have to see if other cities, states ever try the idea, but I’d give it a go.

    Beloved city icon marks huge transformation: ‘Just what it needs!’

    Ha! I whinge that I pay $11 for the best salad roll I’ve ever had. Can’t see how I’d justify up to $100 just for lunch! Not that it really affects me as I’ve never been there and probably won’t.

    Anchovette paste

    Anchovette paste Used to love the original Pecks Anchovete paste on toast or fresh bread with lots of butter but not since it was sold to France. The paste is now a sad greyish colour, very runny with little taste. So sad to see a great recipe changed to suit foreign taste buds.

    My ‘Restless Legs’

    I suffer on occasion with this. Find magnesium sort of works and a hot shower definitely works long enough for me to get back to sleep. I live alone so don’t disturb anyone with middle of the night showers. My mum suffered badly with it and was prescribed Sifol as well with reasonable success.
