    Tap-and-Go Nation: Inside Australia’s $160 Billion Cashless Boom

    Cash will always be one of the methods I use for payments. Sure, I do use a credit card, but only after checking that there is no card transaction surcharge. The banks are no doubt already ripping the merchants off for the facility. Why would I want to also contribute? If I travel to some of the...

    Reality tv.

    The only "reality" show I have watched is My Kitchen Rules in its early days. Initially it was all about the cooking and the only drama was a burnt roast or a dropped dish. Then they introduced the personality clash dramas and the show went to the dogs. The other "reality" shows display enough...

    Final instalment of $300 rebate is being distributed—no extensions confirmed

    Switched my broadband internet provider recently from Telstra to Origin as I was in the process of switching electricity back to Origin after making the mistake of switching electricity to Alinta. The price per month was about the same but Origin was offering a reduction of $10 for 12 months...

    This common habit could be silently stealing years from your life—are you at risk?

    Looks like I'll have to live to 150 to have enough time to deduct all the minutes I'll lose from the stuff I've been eating.

    Is your neighbour guilty too? You won’t believe the outrageous note this woman found on her car!

    I understand that roadside parking is available to anyone, within the bounds of parking restrictions e.g. not across a driveway, not where a sign indicates no stopping or parking, not within 10 metres of an intersection, not allowing less than 3 metres road clearance when parked opposite a...

    No More Flies and Mozzies

    I'm willing to give it a try. Not so much for the flies and Mozzies (although they can be annoying), but more so for midgies (or sandflies). Does it also work for them? Googled the ingredients and looks like you can get them all from Bunnings.

    Unbelievable Behavior: Discover Why Parents Are Outraged Over This Queensland Teacher's Feline Antics!

    Methinks someone is angling for a section 8 (think Corporal Klinger in MASH) to retire from the Education Department with a bigfat pension for life. If it was possible, no doubt would not be out of the question. The disgusting thing is because the loony behaviour might be copied by...

    Stuffed Eggplant know as Little Shoes

    Love a nice mousaka and this recipe sounds suspiciously like the mousaka I made last night. The only major difference seems to be leaving the eggplants halved, while I made mine with eggplant slices. No doubt a delicious recipe. My family loved the one I made last night.

    Now this is getting into scary territory. BEWARE!!!!!

    You've taken on an endless and thankless task if you are thinking of correcting the grammar and spelling of posts. I shudder to think how many times I've seen incorrect wording / spelling, but these days seems to have gone by the wayside. I blame our education system. I don't know if English is...

    Now this is getting into scary territory. BEWARE!!!!!

    I have my Telstra and power bill set to auto debit to my credit card account. As it is a credit card, I don't have to keep checking the balance of the account to ensure funds are there, just need to pay credit card account when it is due. I also check off each credit card entry to ensure no...

    Grandpa's Mind-Blowing Sausage Roll Hack Leaves Foodies Astonished: Discover the Right Way to Eat It!

    Used to buy sausage rolls from the tuckshop at school sliced that way with the sauce in the cut, however when you buy them from the bakery these days they are too busy to slice it, and I never have a knife with me to do it myself. Probably get a funny look or comment if asked for the bakery...

    Click and a miss: Aussie business owner’s email scam nightmare rolls into cybersecurity alert

    This is due to setting on your phone app which does as it is intended to filter out spam calls. Unfortunately it also filters out calls that you may want to receive. I ordered an internet line upgrade from Telstra, who needed to ring me back. Phone saw it as a SPAM call and blocked it.Had to...

    Two foreigners go to jail for installing card readers on ATMS

    I wouldn't be so kind as to supply Tim Tam's. Maybe a packet of Arrowroot biscuits if feeling generous.

    Slow Cooked Hawaiian Chicken Meatballs

    Yes, disposable gloves would work, but keeping your hands wet acts almost the same. The mince mixture doesn't stick and has an almost slippery feel.
