    What activities have you been enjoying lately?

    Trying to get the house into a reasonable state as my grand-daughter and her partner are coming out from the UK to house-sit for twelvemonths. While they are here we are off on "The Big Lap" round Australia. Cape Byron, Cape York, The Gulf, Darwin, Broome, Carnaervon, Perth (for Christmas...

    Did this Coles shopper take it too far? Other shoppers were outraged

    Coles Coles are an unexciting store to visit and they are probably trying to cut their costs wherever possible so they reduce the number of staff. (Could I be cynical and suggest the managers and directors will still get paid their bonus's). If staffing is reduced customer care suffers. Two...

    Your First Job. Does It Still Exist?

    Serving an apprenticeship still exists I assume? I joined the Merchant Navy as a cadet in 1953 to accumulate 3 years of actual sea time before I was allowed to sit for a second mate's certificate. Sea time I should imagine is still a pre-requisite before you can sit for your certificate. The...

    Bank fails to block transactions allowing scammers to drain $249,000 from a couple's savings

    Me again. I had solar panels fitted on the roof of our home and paid the invoice when it was presented directly by going the the Bandigo Branch where I live and paying the total as required. The installers kept on at me for quite some time as they maintained I had not paid them. I sent them a...

    Bank fails to block transactions allowing scammers to drain $249,000 from a couple's savings

    I use the Bendigo Bank and have no complaints about the services they offer. Some years ago I had a telephone call from them to advise me that there was a claim for $7.98 from an unknown Company and did I know anything about it. I said no and heard no more and there was no debit to my account...

    Airport food is EXPENSIVE for a reason, according to a retail expert

    So there are extra costs. That's understandable. But the extent that the sites go to is not. There are costs, profit and greed and like the rest of big business greed comes first. As one lady has just said said, 'fast for the day. It will do you no harm.'

    Horror at Kmart: 6-year-old girl suffers serious eye injury after shopping accident

    If her parents were looking at what was happening they would have lifted the articledown for her. You can't blame a shop catering for an adult customer to be held responsible for what the child did.

    You can't choose. There are ups and downsat every age throughout life whether you are happily married or not. So choose now. You are alive, you got out of bed this morning, you had something to eat, the sun is shining somewhere, you have enough to live on and you have a roof over your head...

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

    No you are not right. Nowadays it seems that a saying I heard from a Londoner working with me in West Africa some 60 years ago said, "there is no such thing as a bad child ... but the world is overpopulated with bad parents," is more true every day. A generalisation I agree but nevertheless...

    Horror at Kmart: 6-year-old girl suffers serious eye injury after shopping accident

    Where on earth are you coming from? Is your pedestal so high you can't see the ground where life is lived? It is your child which is causing the problem and you should do something about it and not pass the responsibility on to someone else!! Shame on you indeed.
