That's all well and expected because all prices go only one way and that is up however, what I have noticed is that some of chooks being sold are getting smaller. Some I noticed in Woolies were about pigeon size or under-age. I had bantams when I was growing up and they were bigger than the...

One of my closest mates of 45 plus years worked at Channel 7 when the complex was at Epping NSW and was there when Skase moved in on 7 after 'gutting' other companies both in Oz and overseas. He started 'gutting' channel 7 soon after he got there. My mate worked in Atlab, the developing section...

This type of behaviour, ie: adding methanol to drinks has been going on for years in South East Asia. You don't hear of 'locals' dieing from this poison, they know all about it because the people there are in on making it for the 'tourist market.' It is cheap and easy to produce with a ready...

The phone 'hang-up' is not true now. Many years ago it was the case, back in the 50/60's. A mate of mine worked in Telstra for over 40yrs. he informed me that the new technology has cancelled that out. So asking the annoying callers to wait and then just putting your phone down and walking away...

I always open and check the eggs for cracked ones, they are mostly present and I don't buy pre-cracked eggs, I crack my own. What I have noticed is the sizes of the eggs in the box. I like large eggs, 700/800grms. What I usually find is a size range that make about 6 of the eggs well below the...

Many years ago I use to watch a TV show called 'DRAGNET'. The Detectives would roll up and the opening line was, 'Just the facts sir/madam, just the facts.' Nowadays the headlines are just the 'attention grabber' where they intice you to buy the paper/magazine, the body of the story has no...

If a 'modest profit' was added to the 'cost of the mug' I may still buy one, thanks for the feed-back.

I would like to buy one of the SDC mugs that are advertised..... can I.... and how... without having to join/become something at a cost.... a lot of 'offers' are out there however, you have to supply all of your personal info, join/become a member at a cost. Maybe 'offering the mugs/other items'...

What I found interesting about this article was that in SA. the Gov. imposes a levy of $102 for the victims of crime coffers. GREAT IDEA.... we have a process here in NSW where the Gov. has a 'slush fund' which is available for victims to make a claim. A few years back a mate of mine made a...

Still sending cheques, the account came with cheque-book facilities some 38yrs ago, bank sent me a letter stating that account will continue functioning, including cheques...no fees attached to cheques, still use cash, no fees attached, surviving very well, maybe 'old school', better than...

When Ms Thorpe attended Parliament to be sworn in, she had to swear her allegiance to the 'Queen, her heirs or successors.' She declined to make that oath, the Speaker of the House had her escorted from the House until such time she made the Oath. No Member can take their Seat in the Parliament...

The drive-ins, one FJ Holden, driver, girlfriend front seat, rug on the back seat, three in the boot... My girlfriend at the time worked on the booth, when she was on me, a mate and his girlfriend in the boot, after the fee was paid I would hear a sweet voice call out, 'love you Peter', me to...

Friends, ALWAYS, a cup of tea a bickie a chat and you can solve the worlds problems, your own and your mates easy..... ordering $30 of food from Maccas, $40 Uber delivery, credit card fees.....NEVER, I just don't know how they do it a cost of living crisis. LOL

Body-line bowling was introduced by the English bowlers to curtail the batting machine of the Aust. side. As for Students giving up their seat on public transport to 'older/mature/handicapped etc. it is a condition set out on any student who travels free on a concession card. Penalties include...

Having had, on many occasions during my career, dealt with various systems put together by Public Servants and Ministers and it is built into the system faults, failings, gaps, holes and no re-course or accountability as a standard practice. It is almost inevitable, that the system will be...

When 'manners' were handed out and taught, she was hiding behind the door and said 'no don't need or use them'. I wonder what the people who elected her to the Senate are thinking about THEIR REPRESENTATIVE sitting in the Senate. She is there on their behalf and speaking for them. She is living...

I don't have a credit card, doing well, pay cash and still write cheques, my bank still honours my cheques, don't do business with any shop that doesn't accept cash, definately don't order delivery of junk meals. Still hit hard by increasing cost of groceries, utilities etc. however, don't put...

We don't have 'crushing laws in NSW,' we should however, Politicans were 'talking about them' when Barry O'Farrell was Premier, it takes Pollies 'a long time and they have to pretend that they came up with the idea' before anything is done...or a significant event on the roads....maybe...

Great more legislation for NSW, and more hits to the pockets just because of a minority group of hoons. Ms Douglas of Kyeemagh stated that 'they' are sick of hoons racing, burn-outs, hot laps etc in 'her suburb'. I wonder if she went to the local Police station and had a meeting with the local...

Here we go again, Banks being caught out doing the wrong thing, ho-hum, nothing happened on the many prior occasions and nothing will happen this time. Don't expect any action by the Gov. Just know you place on the totem pole, the people are at the bottom, the snouts in the trough are up the...
