    Still unsure what counts as squatting? Many are stunned by this $2M home takeover

    Lets face facts. For a start, Mandurah 'Aint" that far from Perth. Why couldn't the owner with help from the family, take a day out to visit the house every now & then to check it out etc. If the house was damaged from a storm or similar, why didn't the owner have the required repairs carried...

    No more card charges: how Australians can switch to fast, fee-free payments right now

    It doesn't matter how or why, but, you'll get caught in way or another. Places where we are, where there was no charge for using visa, there is now a charge on your purchase at a number of those places. They do have a sign stating the fact of the surcharge. With our cards, at least we do...

    ‘Unconscionable conduct’: Optus’s $100m penalty sends a powerful warning to big business about how they treat customers

    I reckon that all of the complete pack of "Arseholes" who perpetratored these crimes should have been convicted of, in a way, of fraudulent practices & given quite a 'Holiday" at the Governors pleasure at one of the states resorts & serve bread & water for all meals.

    Forced to choose between eating or heating: Inside the shocking energy trap leaving pensioners in the cold

    Hi there, Veggie, Boy oh boy, you certainly 'Luv" to remind us on how much you "Luv & Admire" Mr. Peter Dutton, as again here. What's your thoughts on how a "Fantastic" job Albo & his tribe of complete "Rat Bags" are doing. With, even by his own admissions,, he knew of the possible fire...

    Forced to choose between eating or heating: Inside the shocking energy trap leaving pensioners in the cold

    I don't know what everyones going 'Crook" about. On the idiot box yesterday, we were watching a report where Bo-Bo Bowen was all smiles, happy as a "Pig In Poo" & as a "Lark" about how many of "The Batteries" were being sold & installed on houses. This in turn is giving the buyers plenty of...

    The ‘silent superbug’ that’s got health experts worried–and why it matters to every Australian family

    It looks as though the good old penicillin needle mightn't be enough for this new bug. In a way, I'm glad my "Hunting" days are over. Just too many of these bad bugs around in todays world.

    This body part could save your life: ‘Second heart’ most Australians neglect

    An incredible read indeed. I'll start the toe exercise as suggested by Leenie.

    Couple fights off armed intruders during terrifying home invasion

    Yes, Mick did a great job. At least the gutless wonders scrammed before they received their just deserts.

    Sharp-eyed worker intervenes just in time to protect retiree from costly financial trap

    Good "?" there Bill MacL. I was thinking along the same lines as with everyone else.

    You won’t believe why these Aussie homeowners were blocked from building their own garage

    Yes, resident only parking is the answer. Simple Simon" stuff. Not very complicated at all. Then that raises the "?", the costs involved in making the street signs indicating such. That cost may well be "Prohibitive" for the council to undertake.

    The surprising history of Vegemite that most Australians don’t know

    That was, & obviously still is a favourite practiced pastime. How many of us did the same thing in years gone by ?

    Grey water dumpers risk $2,500 fines as 'disgusting' caravan act leaves roads covered in bacteria

    Of all the caravans I've travelled behind before being able to overtake them, I've never witnessed any "Grey" water being discharged along the highways. Maybe that the travellers have been very complient of their responsibilities of the disposal of same.

    Unexpected find in popular meal leaves diner alarmed: 'We both started panicking'

    You have to give just a bit of credit to the joint for owning up to the fact that the battery belonged to them, &, didn't try to fob it off as a ring in. If I were a regular customer, I wouldn't be criticising them too much or being honest on their part.

    The Royal Hotel at Hill End temporarily closes after 150 years

    It would be extremely hard for the pub to survive with a small permanent resident count. The cost of a "Schooie" now is becoming quite dear for a lot of the locals to have a drink on a regular daily basis for the pub to sustain itself.

    AI fines are coming faster than you think—are senior drivers ready?

    Wow, a 7 month trial session is extremely generous indeed. No doubt with a fair bit of expense involved with the 'Advertising" of the onset of the cameras etc., making drivers completely aware of their being in place. Now, any driver who gets sprung is going to be one complete & utter jerk with...

    Monopoly at Macca’s is back—and one prize could wipe out your rent or mortgage

    What about the sitting 'Big' dog in various supermarkets where you can drop a coin or 2 through his noggin.

    Monopoly at Macca’s is back—and one prize could wipe out your rent or mortgage

    I'm positively sure that seniors get a discount on "Toasties". We've had them previously on a number of occasions, i.e., if they haven't changed their policy. With this new game, it looks as though I may have to revisit them. I didn't mind their coffee where I thought it was pretty reasonable...

    HOPE NOT TOO SCARY

    I t looks like it could be a bit of a mixed "Nutty" production. Nobby's might be waiting inside to welcome them in.

    After 30 years in hiding, this 1950s screen siren just stunned Hollywood at 92

    At 92 & getting around OK is great in any one's language. I know aging can make many changes to each of us. But, looking at Kim's photo, you cant recognise her at all. I'm wondering if she had undergone a "Bad" bit of facial surgery. Her looks are extremely unnatural looking. Good on her...
