    Discount chain set to shake up shopping scene after major takeover

    I have heard a lot of good things about Silly Sollys. I haven't had the need to visit it yet, but do intend to do so down the track. Friends of mine discovered one on trip to the ACT and did a good bit of early gift shopping. They were very happy little ducks.

    Kmart shoppers share distressing sights in several stores: 'F****** grubs!'

    I stopped going to Kmart when they put in those middle of the store checkouts. It's sad to see the stuff people get away with is going unchecked. Maybe the same desk jockeys who came up with the brainwave checkouts, also decided to cut down on the stock checkers/locators, and, floor supervisors...

    New South Wales Disability Parking Sticker - Use overseas

    I've got one up on that. My local $2 shop gives seniors' 10% discount. .20cents off is 20 cents earned.

    ‘That phone call’s not what you want to get’: Iconic wrestler reveals shocking health scare

    It only take a tiny bit out of your day to get that check. It is a high price to pay in thinking if you don't know it will go away. Make yourself a promise to look after the most important person in your world ... YOU. I have witnessed so much sorrow in the treatment wards ... it's not worth...

    Expert says this ‘tiny’ laundry blunder is extending your machine's cycle⁠!

    Best thing I did was buying a front loader. I use enviro friendly washing power, and laundry sheets. The machine washes 9kg of mixed clothing with only 2 tbsp of washing power, or 2 laundry sheets. I would liken it to washing clothes as they did in the old days, with a wash board. I am old...

    ‘That phone call’s not what you want to get’: Iconic wrestler reveals shocking health scare

    Melanoma killed my husband. Sunscreen had no bearing on his death. He was covered with moles and, at my insistence, regularly had a complete check at a cancer clinic. They did not pick anything up. I was moisturising his legs for him one day and I noticed a wart like growth on the back of his...

    2025 Hot Cross Bun Taste Test: The Best & Worst Easter Buns Ranked

    I am one of those rare breeds that does not like anything baked with dry fruit. Xmas cakes and hot cross buns would be the top of my yuk list. However, my sister who is hell bent on converting me to some form of hot cross bun consumption, fronted up with a selection for me to try. The only one...

    New technology revolutionises safety in hospitals, shaping future of healthcare

    I have to agree with you VP. When I read the story, my initial reaction was that the only effect I see is they have on film the person they can blame after the event. Better to have security personnel trained up and empowered to use physical restraint without causing harm. In some cases, a...

    'Did you know it was illegal?': Little known vehicle rule confuses Aussie woman

    I just read it again, and all I could was see was that she was in her driveway. What am I missing?

    This 'invisible' Australian road hazard is terrifying drivers! Here's why

    Last time I went for walkies down a Cycle/walking track, I was treated quite badly by a group of Lycra set, self absorbed, anal middle aged men who should have known better. They got stuck into me when I didn't move right off the path so they could pedal past as a pack. They acted as though I...

    Authorities arrest passenger after catching him in the act! What did he do?

    I thought he might have had a gerbil down his trousers. Little buggers jump around causing mayhem to over aroused idiots.

    There’s a new scheme catching people off guard⁠—are YOU at risk?

    Looks like my security program is doing the right things. I haven't had a major issue for quite a long time. I have had the odd email that has been sent to Spam. Those Richard heads keep trying under lots of different names. My system keeps giving them a boot where the sun don't shine...

    Prime Minister extends peace-making gesture to Trump amid rising tensions

    ‘I can’t believe I never noticed’: Bunnings shoppers stunned by unexpected discovery

    Hmmm. Maybe the pets need to be cared for until their outdoor space has been completed.

    Major shake-up coming! What Australia Post’s latest move means for you

    I prefer sending greeting cards by snail mail. Much more personal. The postage stamps are reasonable enough on the pensioner's rate. Would be nice if the stop closing post offices and keep expanding on the additional services. I am no economic genius, but I do know this. If you make a...

    Would you pay this much for a drink? Shocking cinema price sparks backlash

    At this price, bottled water is more expensive than petrol. Rather difficult to justify. I, personally, have my own water bottle and fill it from my tap at home. I do not buy water unless it's absolutely imperative that I have water that moment and don't have mine with me. If I want water at...
