I hope this lady was rewarded by her employer for vigilance and attention to detail. She obviously goes above and beyond, to do her job. 10/10 to this lady.

No such blunders here (not going on a cruise for a variety of reasons), but boy is it nice to see some funny/good news, just for a change. 😀

I agree with your point about the 'required fines'. Too many jobs in this country require employees to meet quotas, from the people staffing the supermarket checkouts to the police. It really takes the humanity and accuracy out of a lot of jobs. It also causes mistakes to be made, though a...

I haven't been affected by the changes, but then I'm still mobile. Unfortunately Australia Post is a business and no business is going to willingly run at a loss. I do agree that transparency is essential, especially for those who are not so agile and perhaps not able to keep up with the changes...

And yet they still vote for a petty dictator like sTRUMPet.

The man is either short on brain cells and empathy, or just a sadistic bastard. Either way, he had no right to throw one occupant of a wildlife sanctuary to another occupant as food. The charges should have been a lot harsher. Surely he entered the park realising that it was a sanctuary. I hope...

My daughter refers to Camilla as "the mistress".

Another ageist/sexist decision, made by old white guys in suits.

Sorry folks, but one of the world's biggest polluters is not going to make an impact on my Christmas, one way or another.

Perhaps it should be nation wide. Or combined with Australia Day. To make truly inclusive day, it should include every nation represented by the Australian population. This would also prevent perceptions of 'favouritism, racism, and any sort of bias'. But what would I know? I just treat everyone...

Quite a while ago we switched completely to solar with battery storage. Expensive, but necessary for a 'bill free future' during retirement. It makes no difference to the way we live/work. During a blackout even the most sensitive equipment shows no impact switching to full battery reliance...

Elon Musk is not someone that I have any respect for. The man throws millions of $$$ into space (yes some of it is useful to Joe Average). If he really wanted to make a name for himself, and a respected one at that, he could probably end world hunger and still be filthy rich. He should also keep...

Is Australia ready to go full electric? We are considering our next vehicle purchase and as retirees will probably clock up a lot of miles. The infrastructure just doesn't seem to be in place for our travel plans. Also being older, the prospect of being stranded is rather more daunting. I think...

Princess Anne is the only one left with an ounce of the grace and dignity that exemplified her mother's long reign. The rest of them just love airing their 'dirty laundry' in public. If the rules had changed a generation or 2 earlier, Princess Anne would be Queen. In my opinion, she would have...

I'm still of the belief that the older folk should be shown the same consideration as everyone else. Just because they are no longer in the workforce, does not mean that they should resign themselves to a lower living standard. We have governments who poor $$$ into childcare, subsidise parents...

You know your Dad best.

No such thing as canned softdrinks in our fridge as kids. The closest we came was in about 1979/80 when Crystal deliver bottled softdrinks and came back to collect the empties. In those days GI lime cordial was a staple, probably my Dear old Dad's only indulgence.

On the very rare occasion that I use a public restroom, I carry flushable toilet seat covers, detol sanitiser spray ( for surfaces and skin) and touch as little as possible. The spray goes on the seat before the disposable cover, it goes on my hands after washing and again after touching...

Good on her. I find that no matter how 'environmentally friendly' the products are, they usually require a good 'application of elbow grease'.

You nailed, if your genes are against you, it doesn't matter what you do, you won't live as long as someone who has a 'better' gene pool.
