    Sweet corn and chicken soup

    Please please please proof read what you’ve written before you post.I counted at least 12 mistakes in this recipe. Do you really want us to use a half cooked chicken in this soup? Surely, it would be very difficult to shred half cooked chicken.

    Newlyweds speak out about devastating bus crash that claimed the lives of 10 guests

    My advice to the young couple would be to have another wedding so that every year they can remember their friends on that awful date and then have a happy anniversary on their new wedding date. They should not be denied the happiness of a wedding anniversary like everyone else.

    Discover the incredible $4.49 ALDI item that one shopper transformed into a kitchen staple

    The cost of the power to whip the cream into butter would add significantly to the cost. Though the marble in a jar of cream shaking trick would give you a little workout for the day.

    Save on 3,000 supermarket essentials with IGA’s massive price drop!

    How magnanimous of IGA, Coles and Woolworths to drop their prices because of the high cost of living. Absolute rubbish. In my humble opinion it only shows that the prices were too high to begin with. I know that when I see prices go up a lot I just refuse to buy those products. Perhaps the...

    'Sexist' school timetable under scrutiny: MP suggests extending hours until 6 pm

    MP Lane obviously does not know much about child growth and development . I can tell you that children are not very good at learning after lunch. This has prompted many schools to alter their schedules to a later lunchtime to maximise learning time. And just who is going to administer this extra...

    Freshen up your breath after eating garlic with this simple trick!

    I learned more than fifty years ago that eating parsley after garlic was beneficial. This knowledge is not new. My dad told me and at that time he worked with a number of Italians so perhaps the Italians have always known .

    Learning grammar is just as important as it always was but the way we teach it has changed

    All those people out there who cannot compose a correctly spelled and properly constructed piece of writing for their posts on various websites should know that those of us who know how to spell and correctly use grammar rules, automatically think ‘ this person is not very bright‘. Whenever...

    King Charles $5 note snub triggers backlash: 'A disappointment to many Australians'

    It matters not to me who is depicted on the new $5 note nor, I suspect will it matter to most people. What will matter is the buying power of this banknote. What does concern me is the statement that it it will take years to design this banknote before printing. How many hours and hours of...

    I do not like predictive text. I typed … The mere thought…. and they decide that I really wanted their. They were wrong.

    Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson proposes shocking idea that could leave pensioners out in the cold

    I think some people are perhaps missing the point. Jeremy is a man with a sense of humour. He was using sarcasm to illustrate his point that older people make for better employees than school leavers who couldn’t possibly work a whole day without checking their phones every five minutes. Their...

    Get ready to stock your pantry! Coles extends major price freeze for supermarket staples

    Coles says that they try to keep costs down but that is not my experience. Last year Coles own brand mixed grain bread was $2.39 , now it is $3. If bread as announced has risen 10% then surely Coles is reaping more than their fair share of profit because a price rise of 61cents represents a...

    Woolworths customers are fuming over this 'constant' issue – do you agree?

    I refuse to use self serve checkouts because I believe that it robs someone of a job. Young people, especially students , need the opportunity to work for an income.

    Neighbour's noise complaint sparks online debate - see what they had to say!

    Just because kids can scream doesn’t mean they should be allowed to. I feel for the writer of the note without condoning the writing of it. Perhaps the grandparents in this situation should have had more consideration of their neighbours and made sure there were quieter games and activities for...
