    This passenger's common name prevented him from boarding his flight

    So a 21-year-old is mixed up with someone with the same name and DoB and refused boarding on his flight. A phone call quickly rectifies the situation and he catches his original flight and has his holiday. Now his MOTHER claims he is 'traumatised'. I smell a hefty compensation claim coming! It...

    Coles Issues Apology for Selling Recalled 'Toxic Tea' Poppy Seeds

    The thing is, poppy seeds are just fine when used appropriately. It's when people take their advice from social media like Tik Toc and start consuming them in volumes they should not, such as in teas. A few sprinkled on your bagel or in say an orange and poppy seed cake are not going to do any...

    Viral sign from a tradie sparks wider debate: Effects of raised retirement age extend beyond seniors

    What is interesting here is that most people seem to think Australia has a retirement age. We don't. There is only mandated retirement age for a very few selected occupations, clergy, judges, air traffic controllers and the military come to mind. For everyone else, you can retire whenever you...

    Viral sign from a tradie sparks wider debate: Effects of raised retirement age extend beyond seniors

    Actually, that is incorrect but a perpetuated myth. When the retirement age for men was set at 65 few ever reached that age and of those that did most were dead in a year or two. Today people are living 20 years or more AFTER they retire and with greater health than ever before. There is plenty...

    Viral sign from a tradie sparks wider debate: Effects of raised retirement age extend beyond seniors

    I think all those lashing out here need to take a deep breath and a step back. When the 'retirement' age was originally set at 65 (and 60 for women) few ever reached that age and of those that did most died after a year or two. What we have now at least 20 years post-retirement and in far better...

    Meghan Markle's potential tell-all book might stir up a storm in Buckingham Palace: Why are the royals distancing themselves?

    Why would anyone wear makeup on a beach? And going topless on a beach is commonplace overseas. It's just Australia is still very puritanical in that regard.

    Man slapped with a $500 fine for overhanging branches—find out why!

    Where I live has few streetlights and consequently it is very dark at night or early morning. I have frequently walked into low hanging branches which pose a great danger to my eyes not to mention the bumps to the head when I don't see them in time. It can be very dangerous and property owners...

    Member Submitted Scam Alert: Wellnee

    This sort of thing was reasonably common a few years ago. It happens during the initial sign-up process where lack of vigilance lead people to sign up for recurring subscriptions they may have been unaware of. After all how many people ever actually read the Ts & Cs rather than just clicking...

    But gumption would likely take the finish off the surface of the cupboard because it is abrasive. Those white magic sponges might do the trick.

    Man slapped with a $500 fine for overhanging branches—find out why!

    I use that app in my area to report rubbish dumping, abandoned trolleys, seriously uneven pavements and a number of other things. The trolleys get collected quicker because the supermarkets know where they are. The council has always called me about dumped rubbish, uneven pavements etc and have...

    Meghan Markle's potential tell-all book might stir up a storm in Buckingham Palace: Why are the royals distancing themselves?

    The problem is that when they left the Royal family all they had to trade on was their royal connections and Diana. So they did what any self-respecting ingrate would do and sold their petty grievances to the highest bidder - Oprah, Spotify, Netflix, Penguin Random House....... And yes they made...
