I was advised by my physics-trained son that hanging toilet paper under but not hanging down the wall is healthier since no urine splatter could reach it. This is especially useful with boys still learning to get their aim correct when urinating. Having read the over the top reasons, I think...

"The truth is generally a load of bollocks." - what about 'the truth' any court of law tries to ascertain during a trial? This is not a 'load of bollocks' as it's aim is to discover what events actually occurred when & where a law was broken, so the victim can seek redress & the law breaker can...

Please notice that the cork is made of plastic. A cork made of cork, especially if it's an old one, would probably 'behave' differently to this cork. Old corks tend to crumble when removed, so are rather tricky to remove.

They always do taste better a day or more later - all the flavours have had time to amalgamate to taste the way they are meant to taste.

Coastal living Australians - PLEASE REMEMBER in INLAND Australia, your only option is Telstra - you get what you're given & be glad for it.

Another way to keep small, independent, family owned businesses open is to pay in cash. This guarantees that the full cost of the item is kept by the business & not frittered away with bank fees, government fees etc. Whenever you pay for an item by card, some of that money goes to the bank, so...

JUST WONDERING - RE: The recent legal scandal where a partner in Price Waterhouse Coopers shared confidential information about the ATO taxation & other Federal government financial with many & varied 'consumers' around the world over the last couple of years. Would this action have been used...

Not all blonds are dumb.

In France, every chemist has a reference publication to advise anyone picking mushrooms whether the mushrooms you have picked are edible or not. Shame we haven't got anything like that here - even a federal government advisory website would be enough.

SDC members beware - The Warmool heater advertised above under 'You May Like', blue heater with an orange background, is not all its supposed to be. I got one, the white version, and it works OK, but in the warranty there is this sentence: '3. This product is only suitable for consumption in...

Dangerous garden discovery In France, every chemist is able to help patrons identify mushrooms to use the edible ones but throw the poisonous ones. Why can't we have a national website that helps us ID mushrooms when we find them, so we can cook the edible ones and ditch the others?

Thankyou Skipton for this - made me believe in living and learning from life again.

TO ALL READERS - PLEASE REMEMBER that EVERY company in China MUST inform their government about ALL their dealings with non-Chinese customers ie passing on to it ALL our personal & financial information. The USSR almost did this to most USA citizens during the Cold War - I studied USA & USSR...

Isn't it PTFE for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene?

Not much advice in the article on getting rid of moths - the comments provided better information.

Hear, hear to Suzanne rose's comment above. Publishers are also ''re-writing'' Agatha Christie novels, Roald Dahl's books, Noddy books amongst others. The Roald Dahl re-writing caused such a stir that the publisher is now publishing the books both as they were originally written & the...

A returned missionary & her husband, after over 20 years in Mali, returned to Australia almost 2 yrs ago. They went to register with Centrelink, and the young man serving them couldn't believe that she had 3 children with the same man as their father. Must be a lot of single mums with children...
