I have an incredible memory for names, but since I saw your comment, I realise I've forgotten the name of the principle at Taree High. Ask about my teachers, and I can tell you those names. I was at Taree High in '58, '59, and '60. I did my Intermediate Certificate in 1960, and then my Dad was...

Nothing but an entitled little brat who's probably never worked a day in her life. Whatever happened to shame and accountability?

I grew up in Wingham and went to high school in Taree. Back in the 50s, Wingham was cut off at least once every summer. My husband has just told me that Wingham has no water supply because it's been contaminated. This is a complete disaster!

Why is it necessary to say that their son is adopted? When will people stop thinking that adopted kids are somehow different in the way they relate to their parents? When will people realise that parents of adopted children love their children in the same way that biological children are loved...

What a disgusting set of circumstances! I spent ten days in a private rehabilitation facility in Sydney following a spinal fusion. Many of the nurses were from overseas and spoke with very thick accents. I was only in my 60s at the time with good hearing, and I was having problems...

Such innocence! Such blind faith! If you knew the first thing about me, you'd know that I'm more than qualified to comment on politics. Another thing I give no credibility to is people who find it necessary to criticise and attempt to impugn the intelligence of someone whose only crime is to...

Why ANYBODY is stupid enough to praise the opinions of 'celebrities', is beyond me! Imagine if political figures started critiquing their acting, singing, athletic performances. These people are so far removed from the real world, they have little to no credibility with respect to politics and...

I loved him in the Bond movies. Only he could get away with calling Bond 'Jimbo'!

Well if Aussies on average gamble $1,635 per year, someone's spending my share.

I watched Eraring power station being erected back in the seventies. Three neighbours worked there after it was completed. When it closes, we'll be up the creek without a paddle. There is no possible way a region like the Hunter can continue to thrive without the availability of cheap, clean...

We live in a retirement village and our small backyard has artificial grass. Our almost three year old poodle will eat anything, tissues a specialty, but has never made any attempt to eat the lawn. That does seem strange.

Ho hum! Tatts are so common these days that I seriously doubt they're looked down on.

But best of all, it means that Coles doesn't need to waste money on that expensive overhead known as staff! No more rostering headaches, forget about workers' comp, superannuation and all those other staff related problems that eat into their multi million dollar profits! The customers will...

I've said this very thing many times. People: check out Venezuela and Argentina so you can see what Australia will look like in just a few years.

I give credibility to very few if any public servants. They have far too much power at state and federal level. They're almost all left wing and, I object to having government policy decided by overpaid, unelected public servants. I know I keep saying this, but the country's being run by...

In what universe is it okay to speak to ANYONE like that, let alone employees simply doing their job?! And then to go online and complain about the staff, shows a gargantuan sense of entitlement. How does someone come to believe this behaviour is appropriate? My first reaction would have been...

Sorry, but the article states that they were told twice. It clearly states that when they arrived, they were told that high chairs weren't available, and then again when the child was playing near the doorway, with the plant. It's not incumbent on the restaurant to supply high chairs in case a...

Having nursed in Emergency in a large, Sydney teaching hospital, I can't believe the mother's attitude. I've seen so many toddlers and crawling babies admitted with shocking injuries, usually burns, because they wandered into the path of a parent carrying hot food. Why do parents expect...

I wonder if she was actually targeting someone. What's the best place to hide a match? In a box of matches. If you have a beef with someone and decide to key their car, keying only their car, may very well bring the law down on you. If you key multiple cars, especially in seven different...
