We ARE together, in so many ways. Only trouble is that the ones who are supposed to listen to us simply don't or don't want to while they're building up their own little(?) nest eggs. I would dearly love to know just how much our politicians (of all three levels) cost us yearly. Then add in the...

" ... has shown the banks that people preferred online banking"? I would think that the people preferred to stay out of harm's way and used online banking as the best option for staying a bit safer.

Wouldn't touch it with a 40-foot bit of timber of Middle European descent. Too many "investors" have been burnt.

WHAT'S WRONG WIYH OUR BLOODY POLITICIANS? Why can't it be brought into law that businesses MUST use cash, with plastic as an option? They're quick to legislate on things when it suits them, but apparently those who elect them are wiped like a dirty bum. Can' t they hear the rumblings from the...

Love the open-mouthed wonder she displayed at her purchase!

Got a sneaking suspish that most "influencers" would ...

OMG, as they say in the classics ... what next -- buy 30 items and we'll give you a "collectable" Miffy key-ring, worth zillions in future years?

She might "save over $1000 every year", but how long does she spend at the counter while the checkout chick looks at every eligible item to see if its use-by date is past? Or is this something new where the computer automatically tells her that these items should be discounted, informs the...

Wonder how many supervisors, higher-level employees and executives got the chop?

He sounds off because it keeps his name (as if it needed to be) front and centre in the minds of the stoobidhead dumbshits who elected him. It's very cheap publicity because he well knows that the media mob will fawn on his every word and action, no matter how bizarre. And he absolutely loves...

Realistically, how can we "protect ourselves" from something we have no control over? Will a retailer let us buy something on a promise that we will pay them when the broken system struggles back up? Will Etihad let us jump on an Airbus (first class) and wend our way to somewhere overseas...

Exactly. But that has to be placed in the "too hard" basket as far as our well-paid elected leaders and councillors are concerned. Like most Labor thought bubbles go, throw some money at the problem and let future generations deal with it.

That's world-shaking news as far as Strayans are concerned, innit? It belongs on the teevee "news" shows, along with the action being pixellated out in case it offends anyone. But they make sure you will be offended, if you werem't the first time, by repeating it three or four times ...

You think Trump would care?

You could always appeal to the councillors' better, more caring nature ... Yair, right.

Ah, yesssssss ... 'member the oft-repeated mantra, when computers started to rear their ugly heads, that these electronic marvels were going to make our lives much easier, more spare time was going to be available for other pursuits, business and banking transactions were going to be made much...

Look up the wonderfulworldwideweb for the song, by Pink Floyd. You're right, we were taught the rules, but they were overtaken by the "It doesn't matter how little Johnny writes, the fact that he can write at all is the important thing" system of education. It came back to bite us on the bum...

She'd probably claim complete innocence under the "sovereignty" rules.

You've never heard the song "We don't need no education"? That's what that refers to, but spelling standarfds these days are woeful and getting worse. Could you see the blue in the TikTok heading? No?

Of course I understand that. I can also understand that the government rakes in quite a bit of money from people who don't follow the speed limit signs through ignorance, momentary inattention, misunderstanding or simple "just don't give a damn" tendencies. If they're guilty. let them pay the...
