    Showering wrong can be filthy and dangerous—are you making this common mistake?

    Now I have heard everything!!!!! Taking your phone into the shower................. People cannot even go without their phone for 5 minutes - you really do have to pity these people. They have to have their little security blanket with them all the time. These people must really have a...

    ‘Nothing screams Australia like Palmolive’: Why Woolies’ Australia Day display has everyone talking

    Would love to know just what the store had on display for Chinese New Year celebrations. Our local Coles has heaps of stuff for that - almost nothing for Australia day.

    ‘Why doesn’t everyone do it?’: Sam Newman’s latest act leaves eventgoers stunned

    Sorry folks, Sam is right. This welcome to country rubbish was created by Ernie Dingo and one of his friends when a South Pacific country's rugby team were coming to Sydney. It IS NOT a traditional thing. If it was, surely this would have been performed for Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip...

    Australian Open star slams media for stirring 'a lot of negativity' amid games

    Fair enough that the crowd be quiet when a player is serving, but cheering when a game is going should not be a problem. I don't watch the women's tennis because of all those who screech. We have to put up with all the players screeches, grunts, groans etc so is it too much to ask that we be...

    Have you seen these dusty vehicles at the airport? See how this phenomenon can incur thousands of fines!

    Yep, done that. We left our old car in Vancouver about 55 years ago and returned home to Aus.

    You have had your dog for 4 years and Charlie is his name. Your sister has had 4 years to get used to you having a dog with that name. Why on earth would they call their son Charlie when they know your dog has that name. You could always change your dogs name to her husbands name!!!!! No...

    Channel 10 makes bold shakeup for The Project this 2025!

    Sick to death of all their woke stuff. Sick of hearing - welcome to whatever aboriginal area that they are on. Sick of SBS weather map with all the supposedly aboriginal names. Sick of welcome to country. Sick of the Project as a programme.

    I agree with you - Queen, King, Prince and Princess are titles - not first names. Or, just for fun, you could start calling her "Queenie" -- It could catch on with all her friends. What do your other friends think?

    Unfortunately when a quilt is finished you really can't add anything to it. If your mother really doesn't like it - apologise or just say you are sorry that she didn't like it and take it back and keep it for yourself. Instead make her a couple of cushions with her dog photos on it. Much...

    'What are they trying to prove?': Aussie TV network in hot water after showing a strange weather map!

    Totally agree. Many Australian cities and towns are named after British people so how could there be an aboriginal name???????

    Maybe it is time that you, your sister and your mother sat down and worked out a budget for her. Has she ever checked for the best phone, gas and electricity plans. House insurance, car insurance etc. You and your sister might just find out that she really is living beyond her means. If she...

    Like everyone else I agree that you should keep them and enjoy wearing them - particularly when you go out with your husband!!! Your friend must be just lovely to give you something so wonderful. I love the comment as to what is he giving up - his golf clubs. Yeah, what is he going to...

    This man needs to have some counselling ASAP. Do you each have a small amount of money each week/fortnight to do what you wish to do? Everyone needs to have some cash of their own - even on a budget. How is he going to pay for this credit card. Open a separate bank account for yourself -...

    TV co-host reveals private health battle live on air, shocking fans with personal struggle

    I have a friend who has this. You now get so many gluten free products that you can almost eat the same as everyone else. My friend is always making various slices and no-one can tell that it is all gluten free. It is not disastrous - you just need to be very aware of what you are eating that...

    Aussie TV host opens up about heartbreaking struggles as a parent in emotional plea

    I agree with the comment to tell the bullies parents that their child is a bully. It is high time that schools stopped protecting bullies. Bullies need to have some consequences for their behaviour - name and shame. Call their parents to the school and get them to understand what their child...

    Let him "help" with all the jobs that you don't like doing. Wash the floors, vacuuming, unloading the dishwasher. Peel the vegetables for you. Set the table. Help you change the sheets and make the bed. Hang the laundry out - after you have done the wash. . Mow the lawns, sweep the paths...

    This shopping centre's decade-old tradition gets cancelled this year! Why?

    It's high time that Jacinta "Andrews" put a stop to all these demonstrations and protest marches. The media should stay away from them as well. Do not give any publicity to these people. I agree with the person who said bring on the hoses. Let's all go back to living a quiet life and enjoy...

    This shopping centre's decade-old tradition gets cancelled this year! Why?

    No, you don't believe what these people say as they are just as likely to turn up anyway.

    Can you park in their driveway blocking them in. Or in front of a delivery roller door. Take up one of their parking spots and see how they feel about it. Maybe a meeting with the boss might be one way to go. Best of luck.

    NRL legend exposes Kangaroos players' act during national anthem—what’s your take?

    If you ever get the chance watch how the Scottish and Welsh teams sing their National Anthems. The majority of the crowd all join in. They sing with so much pride. I once saw a video of Jimmie Barnes singing the Scottish anthem - nothing to do with it being an old song. It's all about how...
