    ‘These sound unreal!’: Why Coles’ new product has shoppers running to the store

    A hot cross bun is just that> don't try to make it into something it's not. I can understand fruitless hot cross buns and chocolate hot cross buns. But now things are going too far! If it ain't broke don't fix it!

    Hand made gifts are rarely PERFECT which shows they are an authentic hand made article. The most important thing about a handmade gift is they are made with LOVE. If your SIL does not understand that and must have perfect, tell her to buy a machine made blanket........they are always perfect...

    You gave your mum the BEST birthday present ever. You gave her a GRANDCHILD. What more could a normal, loving, mother want? As far as thinking she has the right to be at the birth, she needs to get over herself. When I had my children and I spoke to my mum about the birth, she told me that...

    New speed limit on this beach causes outrage: ‘Too much traffic’

    Why are the cars even allowed on the beach? Beaches are for people NOT cars! No-one in Victoria ever drives on the beach. Unless they are stupid, young and drunk and want a fine for doing so.

    Homemade Alfredo sauce

    Can anyone tell me why a recipe that calls for Unsalted butter, then asks you to add salt? Seems a bit ridiculous to me. Surely just use salted butter and forget the extra addition of salt would be the same thing?

    Avoid this common green bin error that could undermine your gardening efforts

    Your article starts, 'As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, many spend more time in our gardens, pruning and preparing for the seasons ahead.' ?? I checked again and it was dated, 24th October 2024. Now , I don't know about you, but where I live (Australia) October is SPRING not Autumn...

    TGA’s reform set to reduce paracetamol pack sizes across Australia

    Lowering the number of tablets is NOT going to stop accidental overdose. If people want to OD they will just buy multiple packets. We will pay the same price for less product and that is obviously OK with the TGA in this high inflation/cost of living time. Let's hit the people where it hurts...

    Hawaiian Carrot Pineapple Cake Recipe

    Oh, goody I am not the only one who has notice that the recipe is not all shown. Part of the ingredients and part of the method/instructions are missing making it difficult/impossible to actually make the cake.

    Royal insider reports King Charles III's situation throughout their summer holiday: 'Things can go wrong very fast'

    Yay! Finally, Camilla's correct title of Queen Consort was used in this article. She is NOT Queen Camilla. Prince Phillip was never referred to as King or King Consort; he was just Prince Phillip. Obviously, Camilla has tickets on herself.

    Australian TV is dying! Discover troubling truth politician just exposed

    I have never wanted to pay for what I watch on tv. BUT, recently I have had second thoughts. There are NO new worthwhile programs being made and shown on free to air tv. I have watched so many repeats and repeats of repeats that I can almost say word for word what the next line will be. Come on...

    Are you risking $410? Minor mistake costing Aussies big with new roadside cameras

    I always wear my seatbelt BUT it NEVER sits where it is supposed to Being female with biggish boobs I find the belt usually ends up at the top of my boobs across my neck. Not comfortable in the least and constantly requires readjustment. It also depends on the type of clothing I wear and the...

    Australians outraged over this baffling Ikea car park feature – are you making the same mistake?

    In Victoria there is a colour code system as well as the logos. Blue with a white wheelchair is for disabled, red/pink with a pram logo is for parents with prams and yellow with an aged couple, one with a cane, are for seniors. I think the system works well except for the fact that there are...

    This Royal's portrait sparks citizens' outrage: 'You must be joking!'

    Yes, I must admit that the face is very flat on the latest portrait of the Princess of Wales, but if I had to choose between this portrait of the Princess and the one of the King, I would take Catherine's any day. At least the background is a different colour and you can see there is a person...
