    Sauce, please: Home cooks shocked with the revelation about their go-to pantry staple!

    Ayep, reading the list of ingredients on the items you buy certainly shows you the benefits of education! Who'da thunk it? A bit like seeing, in the list of ingredients for milk, say, that it contains milk ... Goddlemighty, some consumers are dumb.

    Camping during winter can feel like punishment—this $89 Kmart fix changes that

    Next, we'll have Chris Bowen on the cretiniser spruiking the benefits of solar-powered camping chairs, after having been shown the advantages of such technology (no doubt it would be supplied to him as a freebie to boost the sales along).

    Global shortage threatens popular supermarket staple, sends grocery prices climbing

    A good alternative, although a bit dearer, is "Grains of Paradise". You should be able to find it around the place. Let's face it, you certainly don't use a whole lot of pepper every time you bake or sprinkle it on your meals, so this substitute goes a long way.

    Remember when shopping centres felt safe? A 4WD just crashed through this one

    And how about the Brisbane bus driver who was assaulted by a passenger today, while the gawpers just stood by and videoed the whole thing on their phones? What a bunch of bloody heroes!

    Manual car shortage drives up roadwork costs across Australia

    "Double declutching"? Now, just mention that (and the reason for doing it in the first place) to your drivers of today and see how far their jaws drop.

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    You know the plastic bags they put out in the fruit and vegetable sections of the supermarkets for their produce? Somehow or other, a few extra of those just sort of happen to find their way into my possession every time I enter the store. Why, sometimes, a few more just happen to do the same...

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    At some not-so-small cost, no doubt. Dysons are not the cheapest alternative.

    Cheaper solar batteries slash energy bills, spark concern among homeowners

    'member when the feed-in rate in Queersland was 44 cents per kw/hour? Wonder exactly how many public servants, in all three levels of governance, jumped in immediately on that particular delectable? Wonder how many are still tied to that rate?

    More breathing room for Aussies as changes to energy prices are underway. Here's what we know so far

    Meantime, we'll continue filling our pockets with your largesse and vote ourselves another and another every time some "independent" panel recommends an increase. "The ayes have it"? Oo, yes ...

    More breathing room for Aussies as changes to energy prices are underway. Here's what we know so far

    Promises, promises ... the usual carrot-and-stick way of how governments operate.

    Authorities warn Aussies about these popular canisters catching younger Aussies' attention

    I'll go along with that. It might reduce a few of the bottom feeders around the joint. Hasn't there been a little bit of info available for some time to these idiots that drugs could be considered a bit bad for your health?

    Translink QLD. Useless.

    Hey, Mark@Home ... did you try TransitCare? Did you see my reply to you? I'LL TRY AGAIN ... Did you see my reply to you? Did you contact TransitCare? Apparently you didn't ...

    Yair, that'd be about right.

    Think $445 is too much for perfume? This $29.99 dupe might just win you over

    Worth? I wouldn't say that ... more like "Come in, ya galah, for any perfume that's got a 'famous' name attached!"

    Translink QLD. Useless.

    However, there is a non-profit organisation set up in Queensland called TransitCare. Unfortunately, the name has connotations with Translink, but that doesn't matter if it works for you. Look it up on the web. They're brilliant! I don't know whether they'd cover Wulkuraka, but it's worth a damn...
