    Will you be weighed before you fly? Air New Zealand's latest policy sparks debate!

    I wouldnt like it but if necessary for safety then perhaps. I was weighed when I wen on a joy flight in helicopter so they could distribute the weight in the helicopter evenly. Didnt like it though. I think this process may just be to gauge over several flights how much weight is actually...

    Mum forced to clean up her son's vomit at Woolworths

    Stores have dedicated cleaning staff on all day. Or at least they did where I worked. It's not great to clean up someone else's vomit but a long handled mop and a bucket can be useful. If it was my child, I would certainly have done it but it shouldnt be expected. Kids can produce vomit at...

    Shocking trial details reveal: Chris Dawson's alleged timeline of illicit acts with underage student before wife's murder

    These low lives want consideration once they are caught but they dont give consideration to their victims, who have to live with what they have had done to them for the rest of their lives. Lock them up and throw away the key. No sympathy from me.

    Unbelievable! This Vacuum Cleaner from JB Hi-Fi Pulled Out a Huge Amount of Dirt from a Small Rug

    I struggle with my Dyson stick too. Not to mention the engineering degree you need to clean the filter. And a dirty filter affects the performance and in my case the use of the silly thing. Wouldl never buy one again. Might have a look at the shark.

    Sharon Stone's Bikini Snap at 65 ‘Breaks the Internet’!

    She probably does look great but today's "fashion" is to have a big bottom. She'd never get a gig on the Kardashians. And I feel sad that she needs to look for constant reassuance about her looks. Be yourself and dont look for your happiness from others.

    What's so funny about this $8 Bunnings bucket?

    This is exactly why this has happened. It is to tempt people to become part of the trend. And it's got me too. Off to Bunnings now. :oops: ;) :)

    ALDI customers are outraged: Why Coles Special Buys aisle just can't compete!

    It seems impossible these days for anyone to win. Coles are criticised for trying too hard and now they are being criticised for not trying hard enough. Let them do their own thing and if it doesnt suit you dont engage with them. Problems solved.

    This woman's shocking Amazon order mistake will leave you speechless—see what she received instead of refillable jars!

    I usually get what I ordered. And yes, sometimes the quality is awful but thats the fun of the chase. My mishap was an interesting one, but I did score. I ordered a baby nappy bag for my daughter in law and got a compostible toilet. They resent the nappy bag, but told me to keep the toilet...

    Warning: Potential hazards prompt recall of a common household item

    It is not only that those who need to be instructed in everything are dumb but they are also not accepting responsibility for anything that may happen. That way they can blame others for their actions.

    From Down Under to Bali: Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Spotted in Unexpected Locale

    It is a sign of the times, but these sausage sales are for groups to fund raise. So paying for them is a little donation with a sausage thrown in. The onion is put on the bottom because as people walk around the store eating, the onion falls off, causing a slip hazard. So if people ate better...

    If it is a legitimate call and you dont recognise the number, not answering is the best action. If it is important they should leave a message. If no message is left, I assume it is not important and delete the number.
