    Scammers are targeting online sellers to defraud Aussies out of millions, warns Scamwatch

    Even reputable Buy/Sell platforms such as Gum Tree and Ebay are used by scammers, and I have been almost caught out a couple of times. I now have a policy when selling, dealing only locally, so not having to post/ship, and its cash only on collection from my door at private address. There are a...

    Shoppers outraged after being charged 'bulls**t' surcharge at a local store

    Probably Pubs will be next adding a surcharge to a cold beer - lol. Probably we need to plan ahead more and buy off the shelf and chill drink at home, or just walk out of the shop, refusing to pay surcharge and get a cold drink elsewhere; getting more like USA every day.

    Meghan Markle mocks her royal protocol attempt with an exaggerated curtsey and describes ‘surreal’ meeting with the Queen

    🤮 Definitely a case of POM! Life ain't made to be easy. Harry was born into the Royals, and like us all, had a chance to make the best of it. Sorry, I don't have much time those two, and sick of hearing about them!

    The Morning Show hosts mock Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix docuseries with a parody poster

    I'm sure Larry & Salley will be more entertaining than Harry & Meagan in their version of 'Payton Place'. Personally, I just want to put my finger down my throat and move on! They've already had far too much media hype, and I'm sure that most of us are over them. Leave them to get on with...

    Ubank customer destitute after entire life savings mysteriously disappear: 'I'm at my wit's end'

    Yes, at end of day, they have their faults also! I wonder if our money wouldn't be safer hidden in our mattresses, or hole in our back garden?

    Prince William is ready to fight back if Prince Harry's tell-all series makes any false accusations about the royal family

    Isn't it time that the world moves-on and leave them to sort their very, too public bickering and fighting to themselves to sort out in private. I really want to put my finger down my throat! mc

    Ubank customer destitute after entire life savings mysteriously disappear: 'I'm at my wit's end'

    The moral of the story is to remain with the 4 long established bricks and mortar banks, with High Street branches you can physically visit, that trust these banks in the Sky, such as Ubank with no face-to-face accountability, and getting satisfaction/resolution is an impossibility - mc

    Watch the moment these not-so-ladylike racegoers lose their cool and start exchanging blows

    If that is what a couple bogan women are capable of, I'd hate to see what their men were capable of. Those girls need to stay off the plonk for the sake of everybody's sensibilities!

    This new restaurant 'trend' is driving diners crazy - do you think we should stop this?

    Having been in hospitality most of my working life, I am totally in disagreement of this Americanism, and developing trend here. Like most older people, I hate surprises and feeling, having been 'ripped-off'. If particular waiting or bar staff deserved of a tip for exceptional service, that...

    Meghan Markle draws flak in a recent tell-all interview after comparison with Nelson Mandela: 'She's just full of it'

    Personally I just want to puke. It all sounds like a case of 'Poor little Miss Rich Girl' playing the Race Card -

    How one simple mistake cost this mum $200,000 - A new scam we should be wary about!

    We all fall for a scam at some point; me recently falling prey to scammers in USA, who had somehow managed to get my Eftpos details (God know's how) associated to my working account. Fortunately I do monitor my bank statements every few days, and the amounts taken for supposed subscriptions I...
