    Mastercard is dropping card numbers—here's why it could change the way you pay forever

    Yea, verily. It would seem never a truer word was spoken (and definitely not in jest!). Wonder why we never see any abject apologies from the banks for the abysmal way they've handled our money?

    Mastercard is dropping card numbers—here's why it could change the way you pay forever

    IF it works as advertised ... Did you ever see a documentary on the cretiniser where some scamming outfit (I think it came out of India) taught their employees how to do it? They were sitting in a room, dozens of them, facing a bank of computer screens where phone numbers, computer info and...

    'I'm in love!': Shoppers can't get enough of Kmart's latest homeware!

    Well, if you want to get rid of the germs, a Kmart dispenser and scrubbing brush would be a perfect match. Only trouble is that you can't get something useless and unwanted in return for a thirty-dollar spending spree as you can at Coles or Woolies with their latest "come in, ya galah" promotions.

    Big problems for big packages: Men with large endowments share unspoken challenges

    Probably is, if you're a little fella. The lanyard on my phone is made from a tape measure ... comes in handy when somebody says, "Mine's bigger than yours."

    Big problems for big packages: Men with large endowments share unspoken challenges

    Talk about a first-world problem ... to use the vernacular so beloved in these pages, does a man with a latge one have to "share" the whole experience?

    'I'm in love!': Shoppers can't get enough of Kmart's latest homeware!

    Oh, God! Here we go again ... shoppers can't get enough; shoppers are scrambling; caused a stir; thousands of viewers swooning; immediately flew off the shelves; eager to share their thoughts.

    Masked vandal shocks Aussies with severed heads of politician statues, causing $140,000 in damages

    I think I heard one of the brothers claim on telebishion something like 250,000 years of their occupancy of the place. Any advance on that?

    Masked vandal shocks Aussies with severed heads of politician statues, causing $140,000 in damages

    I wonder whether you're talking about the Extinction Rebellion mob? The bright individuals who superglue themselves to the road surfaces? If I happened to be a cop who was told to get them off the road, I think I'd say, "What? You're stuck to the road? Aw, gee, that's bad luck. How long has it...

    'This is hilarious': Aussies share their confusion on Kmart's latest ad!

    It's not about the purchases, it's all about the fans and the faces and the "influencers". Remember an old song by The Kinks called Dedicated Follower of Fashion? That was penned a long time before antisocial media raised its ugly head. Telling words in the blurb ... "authenticity is key when...

    Looming money overhaul spells danger for cash users! Here's what you can do

    Just shows you the deep thinking that went into the designing of that policy. How hard would it have been to simply state that cash or cards are acceptable anywhere? If the buyer has access to either, what's the problem? If the banks or money providers demand that cards are to be used in any...
