    The rip-offs, deceit and plain stupidity of 2024 exposed — by Noel Whittaker

    These companies should be fined so hard, an amount that brings them to the possibility of ruin, that they would never try the dirty tricks ever again, with a special special fine for the top dog who has caused , or allowed, the situation to arise -- take away his/her fancy cars, yachts or other...

    Joke Want To Feel Old?

    A lot of the old shows and films are getting a rerun, or are updated with younger actors, black and white films remade in colour. Not sure if they are running out of ideas or, realising not everyone is into so much violence in films?

    Is your privacy at risk? Aussie’s unsettling phone call raises alarm over scams

    My phone tells me if a number is a "suspected spam" which obviously includes scams, if it's not a saved number it reads out the number which means I can answer or not. I usually let it ring a while before answering because a lot of spam/scam calls cut off after about four rings then if it goes...

    Is your bank overcharging you? Discover surprising new fees for customers!

    A surprising notice from my bank told me that I needed to have 30 transactions for the month to avoid getting a fee. Here I was thinking the less I spend the more I can ^try^ to save then the bank jumps in and takes a bite out of it anyway. Greed IS NOT good!

    'That's criminal!': Customers clamour about bank's outrageous fees

    I remember a time when putting your money into a bank account meant it built steadily the longer it was in the account, even if it just sat there. Now if you leave money in an account untouched it gets smaller and smaller because of hidden fees, even though the bank has no work to do with the...

    Tap and pay cost me .5% surcharge on Saturday, if I put my savings account card in the machine at Aldi I apparently would not have paid the surcharge.

    Most places are doing it now, even coffee shops though very few have notices up to tell customers, we have to find it ourselves when we check our spending. One would think they have enough worked out in their overheads to add it into the prices they charge without using this method, which means...

    Famous food brand encourages Aussies to 'get out' with their latest advert!

    An ad for lamb is not one I would enjoy, can't eat it or any red meat so that ad turns my stomach almost as much as eating it would do 🤢

    Nicole Kidman drops nepotism bombshell on red carpet, sparking conversations!

    Haven't watched Kidman for years now, she is a wooden actress with little talent, too busy trying to be seen as refined, and was the same in whatever part she was playing so I stopped viewing anything she was in. Now, like a few others, owns a film company so will be in more films -- no thanks.

    This 'Fashion Trend' is causing outrage—here's why one Aussie is slamming it!

    My son-in-law died from what started as skin cancer and, although he had surgery to remove it they missed the check up body scan, he went through terrible agony because it spread to his spine, often crawling on all fours, heartbreaking to see. Never would I wish cancer on anyone. My grandmother...

    The Official Bingo Thread!

    Congratulations on your win. I might as well give up even looking, lucky if I get two numbers before it's won. Only once did I get five numbers but they were all over the place and I knew it would be won before I got enough winning numbers. Then yesterday it wouldn't open, again.

    'And that's a positive?': Aussies slam ScoMo after spotting him with controversial figures

    You don't see rubbing shoulders with a criminal who chased the presidency to prevent going to prison, a man known to be a sexual preditor and convicted as such, who openly states that his money(which is far less than he makes it out to be) let's him do whatever he chooses to women, a man whose...

    'And that's a positive?': Aussies slam ScoMo after spotting him with controversial figures

    Of course they are, they watch only Murdoch media and read only Murdoch papers that only sell mis/disinformation. The wealthy supporting those they think will make them wealthier yet wouldn't give a cent to help anyone in need, unless there was a kickback in it for them.

    'Backdoor tax grab': why passport prices are rising

    They should scrap AUKUS, since then goverment services have been cut back because they have to find the billions to feed America and UK'S submarine building programmes, which should not be our problem. If they don't have the facilities to build these subs they should be the ones to stump up the...

    Struggling with Grease Stains? Discover the Ultimate Hacks to Clean Your Baking Pan Like a Pro!

    Best way is to soak in hot water and dish washing liquid immediately, while the pan is still hot from the oven. It gets harder to clean if left with time to set, so I don't leave it until later. I like to clean up as I go, saves time later with having to scrub.

    Woman Buys Hoarder Granny's House – You Won't Believe the Heartwarming Response from Strangers!

    This story is quite confusing - she bought the house or she inherited it - it can't be both. If she was going to demolish it, why the clean up? If she wanted to keep it in the family, why was she intending to demolish it? Also, a demolition team could just have scooped up the lot with the...
