That's the trouble. Most of the investors in the banks are big boys, whose sole interest is the return on their capital. How long do you reckon they spend thinking on how the banks amass their huge profits? Do you think they worry about it?

Just two words to describe the everlasting greed of banks ... the second is "bastards" and the first ends in "ing".

Not being nasty, simply wondering why so many people just don't seem to be able to grasp the basics of putting the right bin(s) out on a particular day ... not only that, but telling the world about it. To use the hackneyed old phrase, it ain't rocket science.

It would probably be an object lesson for the med students.

But what happens if some of the neighbours haven't got it all together either and some of the bins he can see have different lids? Jeez, life's difficult. That's why God made marker pens, to put on the calendar which bin goes out on which day. Let's say rubbish bins have red lids and get...

Try doing that at Aldi! Unless you're sitting on the checkout chick's lap, which mightn't be so bad sometimes, you've got two chances of checking the amount as it goes through -- Buckley's and none.

Of course, when the page was put up some time later, the text was changed. The original said something like "Aussie over 60s ... " which I don't think a lot of people with English as their first language would use, but I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong.

OK, then ... garbage/recyclables/green waste. Whatever, they still get collected on a regular basis. Mark those days on your calendar. Too hard?

"Beware of emails or attachments containing spelling mistakes" is one of the warnings put out to stay safe from hackers. That being said, can you spot the weird wording in the health cover graphic above which is supposedly inserted with the SDC's approval? Have another look at it and you'll see...

Well, durr ... I think you would find that calendars are available from many outlets (chemists are one). So what's so terrifyingly difficult in hanging the calendar up on the wall and putting a 1 for a garbage day collection, then a 2 for the garbage/recyclable days, on the appropriate days in...

Ah, but think of the unique properties that can be found in @Luckyus when they open you up!

The grammar Nazi strikes again ... look up the meaning of "unique", please.

Gee, eh? Somebody found out that boxes designed to stack together actually do! As well as that, you can put things in them. Wonders never cease. Like, wow, man ...

Yes, that was it, I think. Thanks for that. Horrifying and scary. You'd think, in today's atmosphere, that the episode would be run again, if only to reinforce the dangers. But they wouldn't repeat it, I'm sure.

I was a proofreader for most of my life, finished up the boss of a newspaper reading room for over 20 years until Rupert Murdoch decided to close the paper down, despite declarations that he never would. If Uncle Rupie said today is Tuesday, a team of QCs (or KCs, as they are these days) would...

I reckon the makers of Coon cheese should have said, when the PC and "woke" mob squawked about the so-called offensive name,"OK, if that word offends you, we'll change it to Nooc, for all you arse-backwards people." Either that, or put an explanation on the pack stating its origin for the...

No need for the comma after "Jack", it's self-explanatory. You can clarify the meaning even further by putting a second one after "Jack", thus telling us the name of the one helped off the horse, or explaining that this particular "Jack" is one among other uncles. English is a strange language...

The placement of the comma after "eats" makes all the difference to the meaning of the term. Some people can't tell whether the words following it are verbs or nouns.

Ah, yes ... we don't need no education. Remember when supermarkets had the soft plastics recycling bags? Many's the time when I saw items like tins, glass bottles and cardboard boxes put in them, despite signs saying what they were placed there for. The other reason, of course, is that there are...

The meaning of "root" in that sense has been around since the bears were bad ...
