    Two cheeses at risk of extinction, scientists warn

    Recently I bought Coles own brand of brie - only $2.80 for 125 grams. And I was surprised how good it tasted. Nothing fancy, but very enjoyable - especially once at room temperature. I daresay that will leap in price soon due to...what?....'fungal insecurity'? 😆

    You won't believe what was stolen from this woman's veranda

    We have experienced quite a few examples of plant theft. When we first planted our bay laurel tree hedge four plants were stolen overnight on the day of planting. Each plant was about a metre and a half tall. In more recent times, since this hedge grew tall enough to provide a shield from...

    Two cheeses at risk of extinction, scientists warn

    Same here! I'm not a great one for 'luxury' foods, but I do like soft cheeses. I suppose what will really happen is I won't be able to afford them any more as the price will shoot up.

    Fish and Chips wrapped in newspaper

    Absolutely! Who on earth would imagine that food was wrapped directly against old newspaper? Yuk! The food was wrapped in greaseproof paper. The newspaper was used because newsprint provided good insulation to stop food going cold. 'Newsprint' paper is still used today - just without any ink...

    Kyle Sandilands reveals life-threatening home incident

    I have a MeCaps alarm that I wear like a watch on my wrist. I bought it four years ago and it cost me around $250. There are no other costs involved. I had occasion to use it last year when I collapsed with what turned out to be a serious pulmonary embolism. I pressed the button on my wrist...

    Woman orders TV on Facebook Marketplace but receives odd items instead

    Years ago I bought a cleaning product from an ad I saw while watching YouTube. What arrived was a plastic spray bottle and a little plastic bag with what looked like 10 aspirin tablets. No instructions or any other written material or even a label. Just a scam.

    Why South Korea is banning the sale of dog meat

    So is my cat. Mind you, if anyone tried to eat my Chloe, they'd have a fight on their hands! Even the vet is scared of her- despite her adorable appearance!

    Why South Korea is banning the sale of dog meat

    It's not as if the domestication of dogs is only a recent thing. Dogs have been co-existent and a party to human life for at least 40,000 years. Because they were useful to human beings (hunting, protection etc,) and we as humans were useful to them ( as a supplier of food and shelter). Using...

    Revolutionising confidence and comfort: Introducing Boody’s sustainable leak-proof underwear for women

    I understand. I was paying around $70 a month on meds like Vesicare that were supposed to help a condition that is very poorly understood. Period underwear is not actually approved for conditions like overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, or urethral syndrome. Incontinence products are...
