Not a joke. Bayside Council has a huge problem with 'hot' mufflers on cars and motor bikes, hoons doing burnouts et al. I live in a suburb some kilometres from San Souci which is the worst affected area and we experience these idiots doing burnouts, noisy mufflers and excessive speed in narrow...

I have regular hospital admissions and pre-admission forms are always done online and I can call up previous information to autofill parts of the form. A SMS a couple of days before the day surgery advises the time to be at the hospital. I have not had anything in the mail in the last 3 years...

Bacon sold in our supermarkets is rubbish: full of sulphites, cooks hard and not that tasty. Many years ago I bought Mayfair bacon which was soft when cooked and tasted great. It didn't 'explode' in the pan like current bacon. I think Mayfair bacon came from Toowoomba in QLD. I wish I could buy...

It is not the government that is the problem. Supermarket chains want the lowest priced produce and canned food. Local companies cannot compete with imports from Asia on price but can compete on quality. Shoppers buy a lot on price and don't care where the product is from. I only buy locally...

Why has an American story been re-hashed for this site, "math', quarter, 25 cent coin are dead giveaways. Stop doing it, please.

How is it Albo's fault? Most ridiculous statement I have read, in a long time. Criminals are no one's fault other than their own natures. Stop using this site a a political forum for your inane ideas.

These riots a far right wing (fascists) political agitators spreading false information to their ilk. I think Donald Trump has caused this hatred of immigrants in many countries with his lies and racist language which gets wide coverage by the world's press and online trolls. Remember that this...

This is another reason not to ditch cheques. A typical settlement used to involve the handing over of a cheque. This is much safer than electronic transfers. Our systems are aiding these scams.

Parking of boats, caravans and trailers on the roadside is becoming a problem all over Sydney. Perhaps the law needs changing so that vehicles that cannot move under their own power have to be attached to a registered and insured motorised vehicle to be able to park on the roadside for more than...

It depends on the rating of the road: is it a national highway, a state road or a local road? If it is a local road it is council's responsibility. Don't forget that the responsibility for roads can be , by agreement changed between authorities.

The signs are working as a barrier to block access to the road on the other side of the median strip. Perhaps a length of. guardrail would have done the job.

In Doha the airport police ask for your destination and tell you what the fare will be. That is what you pay the driver. Perhaps there could be fixed fares from the airport. My daughter was scammed by a taxi driver at Sydney airport. A normal $50 trip was charged at $92. Because she was...

I have been to France numerous times over the past 55 years. The first time I found the Parisians to be 'rude', but it boiled down to the language issue. I learnt the French for 'excuse me do you speak English?'. This made a world of difference. English wasn't a common second language but the...

I find it strange that the scammers can easily get Australian bank accounts when identification has to be established by the banks. It is the same with scammers and solar panel subsidy people getting local telephone numbers when the calls are clearly from overseas.

Ah Tracy, you must be another conspiracy theorist to make such inane statements. Why the hell would 'the government' (which one?) want to hack and expose such information? Think for yourself, not following idiots with mental problems in the conspiracy theory mire. You cannot give any provable...

Hi Colette, do you know if you snore? If so it could be sleep apnea causing you to wake up tired. I had the same problem walso with tiredness during the day. I am on a cpap machine, while sleeping, which has totally changed my life. Talk to your doctor about your problem.

More than likely. The blue light from the screen affects sleep. My spectacles have an anti blue light coating which makes it easy to fall asleep in front of the TV.

I checked with our local traffic police and they said it was 10kph in dual use zones., but I have read it is the speed limit on adjoining streets. Whatever it is there needs to be police with speed cameras in dual use areas to stop and warn/fine these people who do not care about others' safety...

Over the years I have noted that cyclists feel more privileged than pedestrians. Adult cyclists riding on footpaths when confronted about it just give filthy abuse. E-bikes are exacerbating the problem. All bikes should be licensed with number plates, have insurance and be illegal on footpaths...
