    Coles shoppers rush to grab $3 limited-edition bag before shelves empty

    I have two large bags I bought at Woolies when single use bags were taken out. These two bags are used once if not twice a week ever since. Sometimes it takes me an effort to lift them into the trolley and then to the car they are so full(well I am 89) but they have never let me down and I think...

    ‘Actually illegal’: What happened after this couple’s $12,000 holiday was downgraded

    My Daughter and her husband have just had wonderful trip to Italy with Trip-a-Deal, but caught a bug on the last day that laid them low for a week or so. I think wearing a mask when cooped up in an aluminium cigar with a couple of hundred others is a smart move these days.

    Energy company admits misleading 400,000 Aussies, reveals impact on customers

    This whole carbon business in Australia is a Government scam. Australia produces one percent of the worlds carbon gases. Even if Australia were to get to zero emissions, which is impossible, what difference would it make to the worlds emissions? Three fifths of five eights of bugger all. The...

    I am with you SGH. My mobile is used as a phone and very little else. I get texts on it and that is all. No bank accounts, no address book, nothing, zilch.

    Who remembers Dave Allen?

    I would defy anyone to sit through one of his shows and not laugh. Nothing was saved from his humour all the sacred cows got their share and all done with a relaxed atmosphere that only the great can achieve. May his humour live forever.

    Immediate licence changes hit Australia—act now before it's too late!

    I was a driving teacher for 20 years in Sydney and the worst drivers to each were Asian people. Very few had any idea of how to get a car around a corner and straighten it up. As I was based mainly on the north shore, I was teaching a lot of well educated people, and they were mostly having this...

    Australians react to American food habit spark confusion over common mistake

    I have been an official at car race meetings for many years and have worked with cars passing at great speed within a metre of me, but to do that on roadworks with average driver of today at 40Ks would be dicing with death.

    Bunnings boasts about its price-beating guarantee but for 9,000 products there is a catch

    I think Bunning's power tools are very reasonably priced. Ryobi is their own brand and just about all my tools are such as a handyman. What they are like for professionals, I have no idea.
