    Qantas flight changes you must know before your next trip!

    I much prefer this system to the 'previous' one where everyone tries to squeeze into the plane at the same time. The only problem with this 'new' system (and I have had recent experience) is that the passengers at the rear of the plane have to first exit via stairs halfway down the chute, walk...

    Winner crowned! Which Australian bakery serves the best pie? Find out here!

    @Ricki a friend of ours (who has lived in Cairns almost all his life), swears by the pies from the Babinda Bakery. I've never tasted them as I have Coeliac Disease, but perhaps you should take a drive down there and then report back to us!

    Sarah Ferguson's shocking meeting with Jeffrey Epstein during his house arrest! Private diary reveals all

    The comments by my fellow SDC members are usually more interesting to read than the main article, and today is no exception... However, the article made me think. How does one respond to relatives/friends/acquaintances who have been accused of or found guilty of crimes that we generally...

    You won't believe what this Western Australian dumpster diver uncovers from supermarket waste!

    Apologies, I couldn't focus on the contents of this post once I discovered this gem: Quiché Lorraine's.

    Can you believe it? Lost diamond wedding ring returns to owner 13 YEARS after being flushed down the toilet

    True! Perhaps the ring was perched on something unmentionable that was floating...

    Most Older Australians Aren’t In Aged Care. Policy Blind Spots Mean They Live In Communities That Aren’t Age-friendly

    Aww @Lizzie1149 I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. It's true that, especially, older newcomers find it difficult to 'break' through invisible barriers that surround groups. As smaller towns usually do not provide a wide range of activities, you'll also find that some people who had been...

    Aussies are furious with a Chemist Warehouse employee who shared the perfect budget dupe of a $65 ‘age-rewind’ beauty favourite

    I wonder how many of the SDC readers have any interest in beauty products?

    This professional cleaner's list of what NOT to buy from the supermarket will save you time and money

    Golly, I had to google the term 'window vacuum' - I'd better get with the program and acquire more funky tools!

    Myer responds to accusations about a ‘lack of diversity’ with their underwear models – “We take this very seriously…”

    Men actually look at underwear ads? Among my family and acquaintances they either have their wives/partners buy the necessary or they buy whatever is the cheapest. I'd love to hear more on this topic from the male readers...

    "Gluten-free doesn't mean healthy": Nutritionist advises people against a popular health aisle buy

    Too true! She should have mentioned cereals too! And most items marked 'low fat' are chock-a-block with sugar to make them tasty... Always read the label!

    Woolworths customers will soon be able to get their hands on pre-packaged liquid eggs as the retailer partners with egg brand Sunny Queen

    Egg whites I can understand, if you like making meringues or you've been medically advised to avoid yolks. But scrambled eggs? The mind boggles...

    Delicious 4-Ingredient Chocolate Pudding

    Much as I love chocolate, this one looks decidedly unappetising! Perhaps it's the colour? I'd love for someone to try the recipe with dark chocolate and see whether that's any good. [And no, I'm not offering to experiment as I burn water!]

    Millennial men want '1950s housewives', according to new book

    It's fascinating to read articles/surveys about how (young) men want women to behave. Were they raised in households where their mothers behaved (or were treated) in these particular ways?

    Cleaning pro shares THREE quick and easy kitchen-cleaning tips she swears by – using only a few household items!

    I drafted a response about suffragettes having sacrificed so much to get women the right to vote and yet, more than 100 years later, we still have women who feel the need to polish their kitchen sinks, but then decided against posting that as I might have been hauled before the courts for...
