We live in a retirement village and our small backyard has artificial grass. Our almost three year old poodle will eat anything, tissues a specialty, but has never made any attempt to eat the lawn. That does seem strange.

Ho hum! Tatts are so common these days that I seriously doubt they're looked down on.

But best of all, it means that Coles doesn't need to waste money on that expensive overhead known as staff! No more rostering headaches, forget about workers' comp, superannuation and all those other staff related problems that eat into their multi million dollar profits! The customers will...

I've said this very thing many times. People: check out Venezuela and Argentina so you can see what Australia will look like in just a few years.

I give credibility to very few if any public servants. They have far too much power at state and federal level. They're almost all left wing and, I object to having government policy decided by overpaid, unelected public servants. I know I keep saying this, but the country's being run by...

In what universe is it okay to speak to ANYONE like that, let alone employees simply doing their job?! And then to go online and complain about the staff, shows a gargantuan sense of entitlement. How does someone come to believe this behaviour is appropriate? My first reaction would have been...

Sorry, but the article states that they were told twice. It clearly states that when they arrived, they were told that high chairs weren't available, and then again when the child was playing near the doorway, with the plant. It's not incumbent on the restaurant to supply high chairs in case a...

Having nursed in Emergency in a large, Sydney teaching hospital, I can't believe the mother's attitude. I've seen so many toddlers and crawling babies admitted with shocking injuries, usually burns, because they wandered into the path of a parent carrying hot food. Why do parents expect...

I wonder if she was actually targeting someone. What's the best place to hide a match? In a box of matches. If you have a beef with someone and decide to key their car, keying only their car, may very well bring the law down on you. If you key multiple cars, especially in seven different...

If people take exception to the police officer, they need to get a grip! A P plater already known to police does not deserve a courteous response. Okay, maybe not swear, but pussyfooting around with kids like this is a waste of time. Furthermore, the wannabe 'gangster' accent the kid affects...

Beautifully put! I agree with every word. The WTC has to stop. It's not wanted by anyone I know and to foist it on a captive audience on such a sacred occasion shows a mind blowing lack of respect.

I worked as a Specialist Medical Secretary for 19 years, with a two year job as a GP's receptionist, while simultaneously working for an Orthopaedic Surgeon. When I began working in this profession, I'd been working as a nurse for 23 years. I'd come 8th in the state in my final exams and...

I'm sorry your husband has had this happen to him. As I've written elsewhere, this does happen, but it's rare. His positive attitude is his greatest asset. I wish you both well. When I wrote that a BCC isn't life altering, I was referring to the 23 year old in the article. Also, I got the...

As a former medical professional of 42 years, and having had at least a dozen removed, I know a bit about BCCs. It's a rare situation to have a BCC removed in a hospital. It's almost always done in a GP's surgery or in the rooms of a General Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon. While a specialist may...

Dear god! Talk about first world problems! Get a grip people, and thank your lucky stars you live in a country where you have the means and the freedom to whinge about such an insignificant thing!

I've had multiple BCCs removed and they were all removed in my GP's surgery at no cost. Some were on my face. I think if this woman is looking at $9,000 for such a simple procedure, it's time she found another doctor, one who isn't taking advantage of a young person's medical inexperience to...

I'd be very interested to see the statistics that show pollution from fossil fuels is increasing, because I find it difficult to believe. Also, most studies are showing that natural disasters caused by weather events are decreasing, not increasing. The Bureau of Meteorology specialises in...

This is a bit rude, but apparently it served its purpose. My son went to a comedy festival in Newcastle some years ago. For the purposes of this story, it's important to remember that Newcastle is the world's largest coal exporting port, and consequently, there are always plenty of sailors out...

I worked for a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon for some years, and this horrifies me because of one case my boss operated on. The patient, let's call him Paul, owned a landscaping business in a large country town in NSW. As we had previously lived in that town and used his services, I was...

Do these idiots not realise that they wouldn't have the freedom to make these dumb choices were it not for our armed forces?
