Surely any legislation can be swept in merely by the trough snufflers voting "Aye" in concord with the direction of the party in power? If they want to bring a law like that into fruition, it's simple. The chance of losing their self-awarded privileges is uppermost in the minds of politicians...

If it looks like a scam, smells like a scam, is written like a scam, these days it IS (not probably is) a scam. Read the "from" lines ALWAYS.

Yes, it was. Didn't you read comment number three or any of the others about it? Or didn't you bother?

Refillable Tasers and stun guns, posties for the use of?

Yes, I can see it now ... a group of grey-haired old dodderers parking their walkers around the table at the senior cits' centre, all getting down to talk about and compare the latest device designed to make their golden years more enjoyable. Sort of like "show and tell" in reverse.

I wonder if any trough snouter would ever own up to reading the comments about this iniquitous tax that have been raised in these SDC pages? That is, of course, if they can spare the time away from their cushy seats in the nation's capitals to spend some time listening to the ungrateful...

Strangest thing ... up in the far north, there's a place known as the Torres Strait. It's situated in an area of the world called the tropics, in this case between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. In that area, there are little creatures which are known as "mosquitoes". And, guess what...

Yair, probably there's some Yank mob out in the wings just itching for an opportunity to bring a case against Aldi for selling something called "milk" when they already do.

Two words, both starting with "p". I'll let you guiess what they are ...

All you need is a name and a face to get by in the world, along with some agent who sees an opportunity and who doesn't mind pocketing a share of any prospective profits. Meanwhile, the starving millions in Africa will just have to do without this chance to brighten up their lives, at least unti...

Aw, gee ... square-shaped blue-coloured packaging, round "cookies" (they used to be called biscuits before Yankeeism took over the world), different numbers of the product on the packets, big splash of white on one. Even, as I look closer, a different brand name on the packet! Dare I say it...

Thought everybody knew that ...

Thank you too.

Thank you.

Hear, bloody hear!

Yebbut, I'm talking about those "respectable" ones, not the outlaws.

Ever since somebody worked out that he could lend money to somebody and get a return on the act of doing it, that's when the rot started. It used to be the money lenders in the temple, next they became known as bankers, and then they evolved into investors. Today, they're called scammers --...

"Do you want computer chips with that?"

I've asked before: what does "names in asterisks" mean?

THAT'S IT! Now the financial institutions will introduce 8-factor authentication -- that'll fix 'em ... Meanwhile, the poor bar steward trying to find out what the message is all about can settle down and read a chapter or three of War and Peace while he's waiting.
