At least twice per week I receive an email that uses my sister’s name as the sender, claiming to have photos to show me. The first time I received it it seemed suspicious for two reasons. Firstly, it arrived in my spam folder and secondly it was worded in a way that my sister would not have...

Every evening I let my 12 month old Miniature Pincer, Thomas, inside and I feed him his dinner. After he has eaten he jumps onto my lap and puts his two front paws on my shoulders, then he buries his snout into my chest. He stays that way for about 10 seconds then he lifts his head, looks me...

As a child I had a morbid fear of being barefoot and/or shirtless. It wasn’t until I was about 16 that I finally discovered the joy and freedom. Since then, even in winter, I often go barefoot and shirtless, much to the alarm and disbelief of my neighbours and friends. ☺️

Call me weird, but I’m LOVIN’ this heat. I’m a bit of a winter hibernator and come spring I bounce back to life. I have very olive skin and an excess of carotene in my system which apparently allows me to tan easily without the risk of skin cancer. (So I was told by a skin special a few years...

We used a group called All Green. We contacted them and they just claim that power costs have just risen substantially and that would account for it. I doubt that very much. Yes, electricity costs did rise, but not by THAT much. We have lodged an enquiry with Fair Trading and are awaiting a...

All I can say is, if the banks all go cashless they had better be prepared for a massive increase in law suits because forcing people to use digital payments will only increase cyber fraud. The banks should be investing their billion dollar profits into making internet banking safer. Bad form...

Solar Panels: Are they really all they are worth the money? My wife and I were recently forced into retirement due to medical issues. So, in an effort to try and save money on living costs, we decided to invest a chunk of our superannuation payout in solar panels. We shopped around and chose a...

Not when it’s your own money. My bank asks to see my photo ID to ensure I am who I say I am. That’s good enough for me.

This is an outrage! It’s your money, not the banks and you can do with it whatever you damned well please! How dare the bank refuse to handover YOUR money. Here they are making Billions of dollars in profit out of OUR money then they have the Gaul to refuse to give it back? Yes, close your...

My oldest brother nicknamed me “Pid”. He was about 12 when I was born and one day he came home from school and picked me up to say hello to me. Mum was in the midst of changing my nappy at the time, so when he picked me up I piddled all over him. 🤣🤣🤣 (Served him right!) 😉 Anyhow, the nickname...

My whole working life I dreamed of what retirement would be for me. Wake up whenever I feel like it, potter around and just do what I wanted whenever I wanted. Perhaps jump into the car with my wife and just take off on a journey at will. HUH!! Nothing like it at all. 2 years ago at the...

Is the Bingo game working this week? The numbers have not changed for the past 3 days!!

We have our groceries home delivered and by the time the delivery person gets them to my front door some of the handles have snapped off and/or the bags are torn. I get that we need to care for our environment but the powers-that-be must ensure that such environmentally friendly items stand up...

50. Still young enough to be energetic, but old enough to have common sense. Having said that I would not like to prolong life in this day and age. Take me back to the 70s. Life was much easier there.

I believe the problem these days with the longer generations is lack of discipline. Granted that, in our day, teachers, parents and caregivers went overboard with the whole discipline thing, but I firmly believe that bad behaviour deserves a reasonably firm smack on the bottom or back of legs...
