The ‘famous’ people who impress me are those who remain humble, despite their successes. In that list I’d include such as Tom Hanks, Russell Crowe, Prince William and Princess Kate, for example, who appear not to be the type who puff out their chests, and demand that we pay attention to them...

Increasingly I have noticed this phenomenon occurring. My take on it is that, if you’re rear-ended while waiting at a traffic-light controlled intersection, it will allow your car to be prevented from being shunted into the intersection. However, as has been pointed out, stopping so far behind...

Good on Woolworths! It’s time these service companies took these measures, albeit extreme, in an attempt to counter unwanted and often unnecessary abuse from customers. Those customers should be held to account for their misbehaviour in whatever form. For far too long, a few customers have acted...

Certainly! A very HAPPY 97th BIRTHDAY Dick! And many more. I hope you make it to 100! Dick has been responsible for many happy memories as the fun-loving Bert in Marry Poppins, and the Elder Mr Dawes from the bank where Mr Banks worked. What an entertainer Dick is. He is one of the few...

My trusty 2001 model Toyota Corolla has only recently turned over 200,000kms, so still has a l-o-n-g way to go to catch up! I’m also happy to vouch for the reliability of Toyotas. It hardly seems that long ago that we regarded everything that cam out of Japan as cheap and nasty imitations! How...

If all of this IS true, you poor (?) things! Imagine having to watch your last million! Suffer guys! You chose to exit the Royal Family, and seek fame and fortune elsewhere, so be it! As they say, you made your bed; now lie in it! How about instead of those measly millions you ‘need’ to just get...

No problem at all, but to quote your comments exactly, you said: ‘A second person agreed with Jordana that those things are annoying but later explained that it might be because of the state she's in. 'I live in Sydney, and we've always had yellow lights between green’. You might understand my...

What part of Sydney does the second commentator live in where the lights go red, amber, green? In all the years I’ve been on the roads here and interstate, I’ve never seen that! As for Jordana’s gripes, she’s got a right to be niggled by those things, but I reckon I could come up with quite a...

It’s all very well that some continue to demand that we give them the privacy they seek, yet they (Harry and Meghan) are the ones continuing to seek out public attention! Have you asked yourselves why they are being paid so handsomely for this docu-series? It’s because we, the general public...

Tbh, I’m 100% on her side. How dare this supposedly ‘loving’ boyfriend take it upon himself to plan out her winnings! I could almost guarantee that he in no way contributed to the purchase of her winning entry or, by the sounds of it, contributed in any real and positive way to their...

Typical Karl! Anything to get a rise out of his victims. I hope you’re pleased with yourself, coz no-one else is! Poor Ally, he couldn’t just be ‘nice’ for a change on her last day there . . . no, he just couldn’t resist be his normal boring self. Shame, shame, shame! I pity Sarah, she deserves...

Thank you for sharing both parts of your story Ricci, truly a story to inspire. Congratulations on your courage, coming to this country in the first place, even though you didn’t intend to settle here, and then your determination to put together your family house, fit to be called your home...

You are all VERY NAUGHTY!!! 😜😂

Kyle lives up to his monicker as a ‘shock jock’ and I guess he feels smug that he pre-empted an official announcement. As for Ally: YES! She’ll do a great job, as usual. She’ll warm up the program with her delightful smile. If it turns out that she is the one, then I wish her all the best...

Poor Ally! It was definitely an awkward moment from all angles. However I don’t really think that it was intentional. From one perspective, Tracy has met with and interviewed people from all walks of life, from those we look up to to those we look down on. She would know that Ally posed no...

Thumbs up for Kate. She definitely is a natural beauty, and William has done well. They are a wonderful pair and, not that I’m very likely to see it in my time, but they will make a splendid King and Queen. That should renew interest and recognition of the royal house.

I guess it’s going to present an ongoing discussion about place names, etc that don’t ‘sound’ or ‘look’ respectful. However I urge those contemplating any changes not to be motivated by political correctness, but rather be in full consultation with all parties likely to be involved coupled with...
