They must be terrific pies to beat a chunky steak pie from Tumby Bay Bakery!

Good advice But also think about who sent it. How likely is a business such as the NRMA to email people - even their customers! - offering a freebie?

"Lock the doors, they're coming through the windows..." as the song goes. When you have to turn your house into an impenetrable fortress, there is something very seriously wrong with the society in which you live. Glad I don't live anywhere near Melbourne! Mine is a nice, sleepy...

And exactly how is this new rule going to be enforced? I've lived and worked in various towns and (ugh) cities all over mainland Australia, and have never seen any dog or cat control laws that are effectively policed. There have been pet hoarders and puppy farmers - always to the...

Harry is a medical specialist, among all his other (well) hidden talents!

Hands up anybody who's tried to get an answer to something that's confusing you from a chatbot or other automated system? Try asking for an explanation for some fee or charge that, as far as you understood the rules, didn't apply to that particular account!

Albo always manages to stuff things up, doesn't he?

Can't see me using it - I live in South Australia and avoid cities like the plague at the best of times. Though if I had to move around Perth I would use public transport if it came with a native guide!

I've always used "ick" (or more commonly, "icky") to say something is horrible or revolting. "Gross" has the same connotation

You were looking after your health, which is perfectly reasonable. Your "friend's" remark about salads sounded rather like a brush-off, and certainly couldn't-care-less about your problems. I probably simply would not have gone; sent my apologies. Even if it was the day of the event - acute...

Your destination is 'beyond the black stump' comes to mind. When I lived in Darwin, I encountered "It's just across the road from..." which meant it probably was on the same street, somewhere. Then there was the beauty "Just around the corner..." It was - but between you and your...

Either pay for the parking as signed, or don't park there. Catch a bus. Walk. Park in the nearest free parking area. Carpark fees are the price of convenience - after all, carparks have to be built and maintained, and that all comes as a cost.

Knowing how hospital staff are sometimes treated by patients - not just swearing at them, but actual, physical attacks - I'm afraid I'm more inclined to think the hospital did the right thing. He was abusive, he was asked to leave. He refused, he was forced to leave. He returned and was...

Eve was wandering around the Garden of Eden, bored out of her tree. Adam was a Good Thing, but she wouldn't mind someone else to talk to! She settled down and made herself a sculpture out of clay. Looked pretty good, if she said so herself. The Serpent was with her (dogs hadn't been...

As I understand it: - The States are supposed to deal with health and medicine. - the federal government is responsible for aged care. - state governments scream blue murder if they think something might infringe "State's Rights" - there is not a state in mainland Australia that does not have...

The honest people with no intention of using the weapons against their fellow man will surrender their weapons. The violent criminals are just breaking another law. No big deal to them. If they get caught, they go to court and might get a slap on the wrist with a duckling down feather...

Sounds like another Trump Big Beautiful Idea
