With their daughter arriving for lunch, the next day, Mavis asked her husband Eric to go to the supermarket to fetch a few items. "What I want," she told him, "are two dozen eggs, a roast chicken and a knife sharpener." "No problem." he said confidently. Mavis was less sure. "Write it down...

I can hardly believe it! I actually got 8 correct today - Hurray!

I had never heard of Michelle but feel sorry that someone so young had to die. On the other hand, I have seen Gene Hackman in lots of films and shall certainly miss him in the future. Had not heard of his death before now but my condolences to his family on losing such a good man.

One of the most stressful tasks for the logically challenged can be getting local service providers to carry out urgently needed repairs. So perhaps it is not surprising that some of the most memorab le complaints were clearly written in haste: I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is...

Surely,, Bunnings as well as other large stores should have a list of inter-phone numbers for each department at the check-out counter. Customers approaching the check-out for help would then get the help they need by the person at check-out phoning the Department and asking for someone to...

I have found that i t depends on where you live as to whether or not the Centrelink people are helpful and check the facts first before making decisions. I have moved over the y ears from Tweed Heads to Lismore and finally Grafton and have found that the staff at Grafton are extremely helpful...

SirExton, you old rogue!! I'm sure we will all try to get to your execution, I mean funeral!

When my late sister and brother-in-law and family lived in Revesby their long-time next door neighbours decided to move to a more suitable home in their old age. The people who moved into their house then became neighbours from hell to everyone. They cut down all the trees in the back garden...

I prefer mysteries. The only trouble is I very often guess "who-dun-it" before I reach the end. I have now found some good murder/mysteries on Netflix. Some of them true stories!

I meant no roof!

I can remember my mother organising a trip to Blackpool from Coventry for the day to see the Blackpool Lights but these only were there for a short few weeks over the Christmas Holidays. I don't think they do the lights anymore. I also remember after the Coventry Blitz in 1940 when everything...

My husband was a driver of these taking tourists around the Gold Coast. I remember once he told me he had an accident in one when he tried to take a short cut under a bridge that was too low to take the bus under it.

We did have three Coles shops around town but the biggest of these has now closed. This was in the shopping centre where Woolworths is situated and was convenient to buy items which Woolworths did not stock. We are told that a large bulk buy type of shop will be replacing Coles but not until...

When we first got a mortgage in the early 1970's the rate was over 16% and after a few years went up to over 17% but the bank, The Rural Bank which is no longer in existance, gave us the choice of extending the time to pay the mortgage back or pay the increase. We chose to extend the time then...
