My food test is always dip your spoon in then put the contents into your own palm to taste. That way you can use the same spoon over and over again for cooking that meal - leave the mixing spoon aside and use a separate spoon for the taste-in-your palm test.

Just what is ‘this bandwagon’ you are suggesting? Please explain.

No, no - the Sahara Desert or a remote area of the freezing Russian Tundra might see him lost forever, and he can take that adult, ageing idiot with him.

Will this ‘idiot’ (my opinion of him and some others in the US government at present) be taxed 200 or 300 % to set up and manufacture here just as we are taxed for our products in the US. I know this one is not actually a US government minister but he is just as stupid in his behaviour as some...

Showgrounds DO NOT allow people to LIVE there. It is a short-term option for travellers in motor homes, caravans, even in small converted vans (and often for people while passing through overnight). Try staying in Showgrounds PERMANENTLY (as this person is doing on private property) and see how...

Maybe, but was everything in it correctly installed or were they, perhaps, using some means of obtaining water, electricity, even gas, from the main house? It does not matter that it is, as you say, “basically a caravan as it has wheels”. Rules still apply. Would you personally take your...

Some of these suggestions are good and do work - the biggest problem arises when you are squeezed into a narrow seat with no leg room in Economy class. Constant shifting in your seat to get comfortable and ease the hardness of the seat on your backside does not equate to a comfortable, restful...

I hope they haven’t somehow been getting money from any account this person’s family may still have in his name. My sister had the same problem when her son died tragically. Telstra wanted his usual payment. In the end she just told them they could go and get it from him, because it was not her...

Might be ‘no more than a fancy caravan on wheels’, but even living in a caravan on land MIGHT be restricted in some states or councils. Always check regulations before doing anything. If you did electrical work in your home and were not FULLY qualified you can be sure in the even of a house fire...

Yes, built by convicts and no rules or regulations then. But this is NOW, not THEN. Without rules and regulations this country would be a mess. The right thing to do was apply for the necessary permit/permission BEFORE going ahead. If we didn’t pay taxes we wouldn’t have anything and that is...

Your ‘use more and or can afford it’ comment is the ‘c***’ side of YOUR comment. What you are insinuating is that some get lower wages, others get higher wages so should be paying higher everything for everyone else. Seems like you don’t realise higher wages go with knowledge and ability. You...

Safety considerations MUST come first. Think, sewerage, water, drain blockages, kitchen & cooking appliances and the danger they can become (carbon dioxide, breathing issues, fire hazard due to no proper exit of fumes etc - to name just a few). If this place was also connected somehow to the...

Yes, there are tax and deductions for age and unemployment situations. But generally speaking if one owns a car it is charged on axle size/weight. Regarding jobless situations, it is always up to each individual to seek out and claim what they might be entitled to. The government is not...

Good research Veggie!!

You seem to be going round in circles - I have said vehicle registration is charged according to size of axle. Whether or not one gets a tax deduction because he uses it for work is not the point here, vehicle size is, and registration is charged according to axle size and perhaps vehicle weight...

Seems like someone does not like SUVs and perhaps does not own one. My Hyundai Santa Fe is the only vehicle my husband and I own, we find it’s minimally higher seating is better and easier to help us get into and out of as we are both over 80 now. We don’t drive unnecessarily to the supermarket...

Like I said above vehicle registration is according to axle size. What happens if the tradie you speak about suddenly loses his job and therefore any money he can earn? Will he still have to pay more if he ended up claiming unemployment benefits because he still has that heavier/bigger vehicle...

Not so - rules are rules and it probably would have cost less money and anxiety if the owner of this tiny house (or the legitimate owner of the whole property) had applied for the necessary application in the first place. It is not ‘money grabbing’, it is making sure safety is complied with.

Absolutely! Too many idiots and pushy people dodging in and out of lanes or speeding are the cause of a lot of accidents, as is the condition and maintenance of the roads.
