I'm privately insured. When consulting a surgeon privately, most will charge out of pocket for the consultation and the surgery in a private hospital. Did you not read the bit where I said I worked as a specialist medical secretary? I did that job for 19 years, so I'm very aware of how the...

What a judgemental, nasty person you are. And just to let you know, mortified means embarrassed or ashamed. I don't think that's the message you were attempting to convey. However, you can now be genuinely mortified because you used the wrong word in an attempt to be nasty to someone who's...

Having worked in the medical field for 42 years as a nurse and specialist medical secretary, I know what you mean. It amazes me that people think doctors should happily accept what the patient believes is fair. The orthopaedic surgeon who operated on my shoulder wouldn't take a penny from me...

I think if you look below the surface, you'll find more than meets the eye. Last year, when Woolies removed all their Australia Day merchandise, it wasn't their decision. I've known this for some time, but was reminded of it again when I saw a Facebook comment yesterday saying look to Bill...

Okay, we get it! You hated Prince Phillip. What's the point of dragging up a whole lot of salacious gossip years after his death? Most people are aware of this anyway. The article was about the love he had for the Queen. I prefer to concentrate on the positives in life, so I didn't bother...

Thank you. Fortunately, I'm as tough as old boots. 😄🌹

Having health insurance doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be asked to pay outrageous fees for specialist services in a private hospital. My husband and I have been in HCF since 1976 and I've had to have five spinal fusions since 1992. Surgeons have retired and we've moved towns in that...

No judgement from me. I've seen and heard more in my life than most. ❤️

To those hoping fellow prisoners will make him suffer if he's convicted and gaoled, I believe there's as much chance of his being put with the general prison population as there is of hell freezing over.

To be fair, how many people are likely to ask that question? I'm online a lot and I've never seen anything like it. Apart from that, I didn't even know Bengal cats existed.

That's a particular model of motorbike, probably an old BSA or Norton. If you look at modern bikes,the fronts don't have this configuration. The Brains Trust (Hubby) assures me that no modern bikes are like your picture.

If you have a look at the front of a motorbike, you can see how there's no room for one. If a numberplate were positioned further back on the mudguard, the angle would make it difficult to read because it would be pointing upwards instead of forward. I definitely see your point, though.

Perhaps if Cbus Super spent less on advertising, they could afford to pay their claimants.

Actually, back in the day, motorbikes had a front plate. I vaguely remember when it was decided that they should be removed. I just consulted with the brains trust (Hubby) and he said it was for safety reasons. Apparently, if the bike rider hit a pedestrian, the plate caused severe injuries...

Unfortunately, thieves apparently tend not to believe the signs.

As a holder of a motorbike licence since 1969, I know a thing or two about motorbikes. Motorbike owners are required to register their bikes. All registered bikes are required to have a rear number plate. Motorbike riders have to undergo stringent testing before they're given a licence. My...

My contribution to gastronomy is the cucumber and Vegemite sandwich. Yum! Don't knock it till you've tried it.

I'm glad I was able to broaden your knowledge by giving you the impetus to do some research. By your own admission you knew little of this situation and Jacinta until today, yet you tell me, involved in this for years, that your view is more valid than mine. However, it's become obvious that...

It was patently obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence, that you were referring to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as that tired old term 'coconut'. The point I was making was that the supermarkets are not the ones gouging prices in remote communities. Do you really believe that there is a...
