    Survivors of a heart-stopping aeroplane nosedive receive shockingly inadequate compensation

    Great post, at last someone with a bit of knowledge speaks the truth on here, but the facebook minions will still go their merry, believe anything with a slappy headline way

    Survivors of a heart-stopping aeroplane nosedive receive shockingly inadequate compensation

    As you say 'could have' but don't forget this was on the ground in NZ so you get what you get. Easy to say this that and the other could have happened in retrospect but real time it's a different matter. Otherwise agree with you except I wish all a full recovery and a deep rooted reminder to...

    Survivors of a heart-stopping aeroplane nosedive receive shockingly inadequate compensation

    Don't know much do you, this s the problem when our news lasts about 6 minutes (and all domestic) and the rest of the half hour is filled with AFL/NRL/Cricket rubbish. Have you heard of Qantas ?? Well Latam is over twice the size of Qantas and a much younger fleet too, so don't pick holes when...

    Legendary 'Hungry Eyes' and 'All By Myself' singer passes away at 74

    Maybe hit a little below the belt as my band back in the late 60's, early 70's played a fair amount of the Liverpool stuff albeit without that awful scouse accent hahaha.

    Legendary 'Hungry Eyes' and 'All By Myself' singer passes away at 74

    I cannot believe people didn't recognise his name, obviously not music lovers, that's the problem with the generation that was brought up being brainwashed that the Mersey sound was music, something like the current mob thinking that (c)rap is music I guess. As for your headline "Front man of...

    Delete these Android apps now to avoid malware mayhem!

    You are but one in millions, being scammed by these Indian based scammers where they have offices of 5 or 6 stories with hundreds working on each floor to try to scam you you out of your money, maybe not you but they get so many idiots. Just block every one report as Phishing and delete. So...

    ‘Degrading and stressful’: Patient's two-hour hospital ordeal reveals healthcare system flaw

    Absolutely agree 100%. Local sport be it AFL, NRL etc and to some extent the other big money team sports should all be funded by themselves not paid for by taxpayers, for whom these 'sports' have no interest to at least 75/80% of them. The rest (followers) are just brainwashed by the media.

    Golden West Brewing Co and Bondi Pizza face unexpected closures

    Well known Hmm says who. Like the other day that well known and loved AFL star that I also couldn't find anyone who had heard of. What was he, 95 or something, OMG he was 17 when I was born and by the time I needed to know anything about football he was probably already retired from the 'sport'...

    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Bidet Attachments – A Convenient Advantage

    I have had a hand held one for over 4 years, purchased in a hardware store in the Philippines for around AUS $10. Living in Qld I find that I don't have a real cold water problem so it was just a matter of buying a T- connection and connecting it up to the outlet for the WC. It has worked...

    The botanical imperialism of weeds and crops: how alien plant species on the First Fleet changed Australia

    Many a true word, so this means that the 'First Nations' people are also not truly indigenous so why is that reference used I wonder.

    Don't say this word if you're in Australia: 'I thought that was fine'

    “Champ”, “chief”, “captain”, “pal”, “sport”, and “tiger” are all seen as derogatory,’ one wrote - agree with the 100% consensus I would have thought that using the term 'Mate' would be a much worse term to use as I for one don't like the idea of mating with any of these tradespeople who...

    TGA raids pharmacy for alleged fake weight-loss product manufacturing

    I have contact with 3 different dispensing pharmacies and in their defence I have to state that with all 3 the first thing they ask is is if I am diabetic. I used all 3 last year so am already on their books now so have no ongoing problems with supply to me. I have to admit I only used them all...

    Media executive warns of Meta decision’s ‘devastating impact’ on Aussies

    Never believe anything that either Facebook or anyone connected to that Murdock conglomerate try to tell you. Most of the so called news on Fb is from bloggers anyway and we all know how realistic' accurate and knowledgeable their points of view are

    Shopper scores free Coles delivery through ‘genius’ trick

    This is just as much a scam (but against the retailer) as all the ones you are telling the oldies to watch out for. Despite how you feel about the big retailers (Supermarkets in this case), this is still just blatant planned dishonesty and I don't think you should be promulgating it makes you...
