    As children we used to have a dry Weet - Bix topped with Vegemite. Still enjoy it today in different situations, such as a Vegemite & cheese toasted sandwich & even go to the Pantry with a teaspoon, scoop it from the jar & slowly eat it.

    This One Mistake After Vacation Could Leave You Face-to-Face with Death in Your Living Room!

    I didn't think of calling a snake catcher when told a snake had slithered into the house & into the storeroom. Killed it, called the authorities & was asked if it was still alive because they wanted it. Best way to lure this out would have been with a plate of milk, apparently.

    You won't believe the shocking note left on a car in Double Bay – find out why locals are outraged!

    We live in a narrow street where one car can be safely parked either side of the road with just enough room to safely drive one car at a time, either way, down the middle. Talking to a Ranger one day, & without asking, he told me parking either side was legal. Reversing out of a driveway...

    Feeling the pinch? Here's why some might miss out on a potential $932 support increase

    Those agencies which handle NDIS & have clients are definitely milking the Government cow because it is the Government! I am aware of one agency where clients were not receiving what they were entitled to but on paper they did. Many $'s were siphoned off for personal use. Overcharging a...

    'I'm stuck with something that's going to bother the s*** out of me': Can you spot what she found?

    Apparently people who make Persian Rugs leave a flaw in them because they cannot be perfect because only God is perfect. I wonder how that lady would handle finding a flaw in a Persian Rug if she bought one. The flaw would be under her feet all the time & not on the top of a table. Time for a...

    You Won't Believe the Infuriating Behavior This Couple Displayed at a Takeaway

    I have to agree with lggydi when it comes to ordering as stated. Regularly at a takeaway we stood back, urging other people to go before us because we haden't made up our mind about our order. Better for us, customers behind us & staff because everyone gets through quicker. Sometimes a customer...

    Media industry pays tribute to Aussie television veteran (83) and Hollywood movie actor (54)

    Peter was a person we always looked forward to listening to every weekday morning. His introduction music @ 9 am was so zippy (for want of an expression), there was no mistaking it. His voice was authoritative & he was always interesting to listen to with interesting segments on his shows that...
