Which leads me to a grave mistake I made many years ago… It’s up there with Life’s Most Embarrassing Moments. I was a teenager when I got my driver’s licence. I passed the driving test late on a Friday afternoon and early the next morning I was excited to go for my first drive - alone. I felt...

Taking your secret to the grave Over my dead body…

Thank you. ☺️ And no, he didn’t know about the story behind the song. I’d forgotten about it too, until I saw him standing there, singing in the rain and looking goofy.

When I was about 10 years old, I went with my family to the St Patrick’s Day concert at the Hibernian Hall in Cairns. Our neighbours, twins Michael and Maureen, were in the concert. Michael came on stage singing a song made famous by a young Judy Garland and Peter Lawford in Easter Parade. 🎵...

Dear Maan, Please edit your article. It is inaccurate. Double demerit points DO apply in Queensland on public holidays. Kind regards

Hello Blue, are you serious?! 🤣 You want our party game ideas?! How can we possibly do that when we know every single member of the SDC team could sell snow to a penguin. Take Jonathon. He could sell a newspaper to a Murdoch. Dani could sell sand in the desert. Maddie could sell green tea to...

Oh dear Skipton! 🤣🤣🤣 Too funny! As for me, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

My sister, who is an SDC member AND a great pastry cook, made these scrumptious hazelnut biscuits and prettily packaged them in jars and decorations she bought at one of her local discount stores. A lovely, thoughtful home-made Chrissy present. (I hope I’m on her list!) The hazelnut biscuit...

Ah, some good old-fashioned Happy Talk from you there Bez!

Oh, I completely agree. I couldn’t watch it a second time either. That one, and the P movies - Platoon and Paths of Glory - all brilliant anti war movies.

Oh, The Mist! Absolutely heartbreaking ending. It’s like that scene in The Pianist where a woman is sobbing uncontrollably and saying, over and over, Why did I do it? Just gut wrenching. I remember watching another scene in The Pianist when he was discovered hiding in the ghetto by a German...

Achingly sad!

The Five Pennies! And that moment when Louis Armstrong emerges from the shadows and plays Won’t you come home Bill Bailey! Its a classic @Tinyone 💛
