    THIS neighbour has been stealing the best parking spot for months—and you can’t do a thing

    or Cola. That causes rust too. You only need to put a bottle on brake fluid with a bit on the bottom of it to achieve damage. There is different rules for caravans and trailers. Some council areas you are not allowed to park back in the same spot either.

    Groom throws cake across room at a wedding—is this a harmless prank or a red flag?

    I don't care what food it is done with. It's not only disrespectful, it's rude and he sounds like a bad tempered control freak. Imagine what would happen if they had a real argument. It makes you wonder what the bride said and whether other people heard the "conversation" too

    'Unconscious for four days': Madonna’s sepsis battle exposes the deadly infection you might be ignoring

    Apart from surgery perhaps we should be told where they think the initial infection starts with symptoms are. Otherwise people are going to be going to a GP or Emergency Dept every time they think they might be getting a cold, virus or aching muscles for doing something for too long.

    When second-hand shopping loses its charm: $200 item sparking debate

    Gold Coast nurse sentenced after stealing patient's bank card

    When my Mum passed away the funeral director asked us if we wanted her wedding ring left on and taken off. Our reply was that if it came off easily to take it off, otherwise leave it on. We didn't have a viewing. They were honest and gave me the ring.

    Gold Coast nurse sentenced after stealing patient's bank card

    Paywave and the method that you don't have to use a pin number should never have been introduced. It is too easily used by other people if it is lost or stolen. I hope nurse was forced to re-pay the money with interest.

That is the reason why you are asked questions. Some GPs will not give...

    Trump’s new tariff threat could leave Australian cinemas and wallets feeling the pinch

    A fair majority of our movies come from US and they are going to up the price of what they supply them to us. For awhile it has been cheaper to wait and buy the DVD. A whole family can watch it and you can share it with others a lot cheaper than entry fees to a cinema.

    Campbelltown's $1,000 pool pass fury: When 'free' becomes very expensive

    Pools are very expensive to maintain. About 7 years ago it cost $10,000.00 annually for an average pool. Needless to say there isn't one in this area. I hate to think what the cost would be now.
