    Bride’s ‘out-of-the-box’ wedding favour sparks controversy: ‘You can’t be serious’

    I’ve only received thank you gifts when I’ve attended a few Italian wedding/christening etc. When did it become something that is expected at all weddings? Isn’t that why you pay for food and drinks for guests at your wedding, as a thanks for attending and a posted thank you card for your...

    McDonald's flips their menu script after customer outrage on drink change!

    I haven’t had Maccas for quite a while now but have to say if I’m going to buy junk food I’m going to expect the whole lot to be “junk” and enjoy every committed mouthful. Why would I pretend I was worried about my health from too much of a sugar hit by buying sugar free? Please, you either...

    ‘Standards are down’: Coles new security feature concerns shoppers

    I really don’t understand why people are “shocked” by having to go through the various security measures being implemented in supermarkets. You’ve been filmed, had security tags removed from clothing at checkouts, set off alarms when leaving a variety of shops, had bag inspection for years now...

    Bizarre detail in Prince William and Princess Kate’s latest photo gets fans buzzing—what did they notice?

    Come on!! We all know Kate has run off with the pool boy and is happily living a life of joy on a private island somewhere and it’s taking awhile for the cosmetic surgery and etiquette lessons to be finished for the stand-in’s first public appearance at Easter. You can’t rush these things.

    Airbnb cracks down on indoor surveillance

    So how are they proposing to police the new rules. I’d imagine that if an owner has cameras in areas that they aren’t supposed to already they’re not going to bother about new rules when they’re already getting away with breaking the old rules.

    Woolworths deli counter rant sparks heated debate—whose side are you on?

    Why would the deli staff be expected to stay on to clean without being paid? I’m sure when they are rostered on their hours for the shift would include the time to clean after store close. So if they don’t want to work, say 6pm - 10pm, finishing after store close, then don’t take the shift or...

    State rescinds 3,904 fines due to miscommunication—Find out if your ticket is included!

    Be interesting to see if the fines that are left standing for those that travelled at speeds higher than the original speed of 60kph are charged for the difference from 40klh or adjusted to the amount higher than 60klh.

    ‘They thought I was dead’: Grandfather becomes target of brutal scooter assault

    I understand that the privileges granted to prisoners seem to be lenient and the removal of them as a punishment is a good idea. However that’s really a different argument to the one of what their sentence is. You have to actually get them in gaol first before privileges can be granted or...

    ‘They thought I was dead’: Grandfather becomes target of brutal scooter assault

    I agree that they need to actually carry out the sentence given and if parole conditions are breached they need to be returned to prison to complete their original sentence incarcerated. However making sentences tougher to send a message and act as a deterrent wouldn’t really work as most don’t...

    State imposes new school limits on popular snack

    The article does say that the new guidelines DO NOT apply to preschool, childcare or food brought from home for personal consumption so you can fill their lunch boxes with all the fairy bread, pies, sausage rolls and cold meats as you like and just have to change when using the canteen. All...
