They are. Any peeled prawns you buy in Australia are imported. My brother actually went to a job site, totally unrelated to his business, and witnessed an Asian chap, sitting on the toilet, out back of a restaurant, peeling prawns. I would strongly recommend buying Australian and peeling your own.

Why? Are you supporting them? Lighten up and treat them as entertainment as most Aussies do.

It's also just one family making/selling and profiting from these fire works. Bringing people into the city may be good for the economy, but that money doesn't go to the hungry and homeless.

Tell them you love them (and mean it), spend time with them, do things together. These are the things people remember. I can't honestly say that I have ever been given a bunch of flowers that I remember fondly, years down the track. Nowadays I just pity the poor exploited overseas workers who...

I have been targeted a few times, I think it was pretty unsophisticated compared to what you are describing here. The simple act of ring said son or daughter and also confirming with their partner probably saved me quite a few $$$.

A moment (8 months actually) like those the royals are experiencing taught my family the importance of not only being there for your loved ones, but also telling them that you love them.

You must really enjoy the prawns grown in the sewers that we still import as well. I agree with you wholeheartedly, none of this rubbish should be allowed into Australia. We don't need it, have better quality alternatives readily available here and if we didn't import this cheap, nasty crap...

I absolutely adore English Ivy, but mine remain contained in pots on stands and have zero chance of escaping into the environment. I also have 3 times the number of grevilleas as any other plant. I love the natives, but the ivy makes a pretty indoor/semi outdoor feature.

I remember, as a kid, often eating at the old spaghetti factory. No lighting other than candles on the tables, no choices for food, spaghetti or go hungry. It was great evening out for family and friends but my memories may not be too accurate, this was more than 50 years ago (I think).

As far as I'm concerned (controversial, I know) the fireworks should have been replaced years ago, with something less harmful to the environment. The recent light shows also brought people to the city.

Most 'Joe Average' people only come forward when someone else has taken the chance of not being believed. We should all "take our hays off" to those who stand up to be heard, especially when they don't even know if they will be believed. A high profile individual has a much greater chance of...

Are you unreasonable for not being psychic? I don't think so.

I simply shop earlier in the year and never pay full price for anything. My brother, on the other hand, has started his family doing a 'secret Santa' where they each pick another family members name out of a hat. Thus each family member needs to only buy one gift. A price is set each year and...

Not at all surprised. That's it.

Like others I know, I try to keep it local. Charity begins at home,and that includes those within our vicinity, whether we know them or not.

They maintain there composure with a lot of support, I would image. I'm so glad to be Mrs Joe Average of Nowhere in Particular.

Funny you should say that. My local Coles has a great range of cheaper options, you know, the things people won't by because they are the 'no frills' option. Some of the Coles branded dairy products are actually superior to the branded product.

Tut tut. I don't think anyone goes to the trouble of giving them genitalia when making a snack.

Or as my Dear old Dad used to say "a rose by any other name IS JUST ANOTHER STINKING FLOWER"!
