    Kmart shopper catches teen pulling risky stunt near kids

    I am with you SGH. My mobile is used as a phone and very little else. I get texts on it and that is all. No bank accounts, no address book, nothing, zilch.

    Who remembers Dave Allen?

    I would defy anyone to sit through one of his shows and not laugh. Nothing was saved from his humour all the sacred cows got their share and all done with a relaxed atmosphere that only the great can achieve. May his humour live forever.

    Immediate licence changes hit Australia—act now before it's too late!

    I was a driving teacher for 20 years in Sydney and the worst drivers to each were Asian people. Very few had any idea of how to get a car around a corner and straighten it up. As I was based mainly on the north shore, I was teaching a lot of well educated people, and they were mostly having this...

    Australians react to American food habit spark confusion over common mistake

    Start off gently. Nice toast, nice butter, then a scraping of Vegemite. Get your taste buds used to it gently. If you go all in like one does with jam or peanut butter, your taste buds will never be the same again. As a child, I could not handle it, however as an adult a whole different ball...

    Why are authorities blocking this restaurant's plans? Community members reveal reason

    Anything would be better than that ugly mural. Just a good coat of paint would do the trick.

    'I think this was all a game to her': Mum falls prey to little-known Facebook scam

    The lady without the pram is lucky to find her house in one piece when she returned. This is a good way to get people out while their house is robbed.

    Secret speed camera feature catches drivers faces $1800 fine

    I have been an official at car race meetings for many years and have worked with cars passing at great speed within a metre of me, but to do that on roadworks with average driver of today at 40Ks would be dicing with death.

    Bunnings boasts about its price-beating guarantee but for 9,000 products there is a catch

    I think Bunning's power tools are very reasonably priced. Ryobi is their own brand and just about all my tools are such as a handyman. What they are like for professionals, I have no idea.

    A neighbour's kid was having fun in his yard... but he had to stand his ground - is it unreasonable?

    I am on your side. A lot of kids these days think everything belongs to them. They have no respect for other peoples property because they are not taught that by lazy parents. Stand your ground, my friend.

    Is this real? See the incredible Star Wars-inspired flying bike you can own!

    I am 89, but if the price is right, I would be right into it. I learnt to fly a plane many years ago and that was a buzz. This would be that plus.

    Is customer service in Australia officially a thing of the past? Woman shares shopping experience

    At 14 years of age I started in a menswear store run by two brothers and I was told to watch them as they served customers. As they had been in this shop for years they knew almost everyone by name so it was, Hello Mrs so and so, or G"day Brian. If they didn't know the person by name it was Sir...

    Community transport companies refuse new clients as demand surges

    I had an occasion to visit GO CO in my local area on the advice of My Aged Care. I thought it would be nice to join and meet some people by going on trips they organise. The lady at reception told me they are full and can't handle any more and to contact them in a month to see if they have a...
