    Insider shares new claims about Royal Family members' cancer bout

    The less that the palace has said regarding the health of King Charles III health it makes me wonder how much longer King Charles III will stay on the throne before he hands over the thrown to William.

    Mum reveals disgusting surprise from her supermarket order: 'It was just a stinking black blob'

    It makes you wonder about the people employed to do the click and collect orders. If someone cannot see that food is off, yet they still continue to add these products to the order. If one bag is off, then how many other packets were also off.

    Traveller uncovers shocking hotel secret—dream holiday turns into disaster

    I would not have allowed the resort owner to get away with not refunding to total cost. This is nothing short of deceptive advertising. People see the glossy brochures and they expect a specific standard.

    'Honestly very gross': Homeowner spots intruder in her home multiple times!

    The bloke was trespassing without the owner's permission. What would have happened if this bloke tripped and got injured or knocked himself out and fell in the pool drowning in the process. This self-indulgence goes beyond someone helping themselves to someone elses property.

    'It's quite funny': Singer talks about her supermarket story making rounds online

    Yes, I agree the government should be doing more to get young people and other unemployed individuals off their backsides and out working rather than sitting at home playing on computers or iPad's instead of looking for work. As for cashiers they are being paid one of the lowest pay rates...

    'It's quite funny': Singer talks about her supermarket story making rounds online

    Well imagine how many more jobs would be on offer if the supermarkets/ retailers did not have SelfServe checkouts. You do not receive any discount for doing the job of checkout staff and you are scrutinized every time you use the SelfServe checkouts. As I have said every time, I have ever used...

    'It's quite funny': Singer talks about her supermarket story making rounds online

    I agree with you totally with the self-serve checkouts. I will never use them again even if I have one item. A customer service lady came over to my wife and I one day when we are standing in line at the checkout. The lady suggested that we use the self-serve checkout. I said we have only ever...

    'It's quite funny': Singer talks about her supermarket story making rounds online

    Ladies would have something to complain about if the men did not try to offer some help. If a man just stood there with his arms folded watching the lady put the groceries through the self-checkout. I can imagine the negative comments from that. The man tries to help, and he still gets negative...

    Hidden Aussie banknotes in wallet could be worth fortune

    You will probably find that the increase in value of that original $10 bank note will more than overshadow any interest earned on the same $10 placed into a bank account earing interest over the same period of time.

    Market Volatility Happens — Here’s Why It’s Not the End of the World— by Noel Whittaker

    The truth is that during a financial downturn you only lose if you sell at the time. If you sell when times are good and market is high, then you can profit. My son has been looking at precious metals like silver coins. Precious metals like gold, silver and platinum have remained consistent...

    Major bank slashes rates—see how it can benefit you today

    My wife and I are coming towards the end of our mortgage term (30 years), but every bit of interest rate relief will bring that final payment date a little closer. We have maintained our payments well above what we need to pay each month. Making weekly payments toward the mortgage loan instead...

    'I agreed to help someone buy essentials, but when we got to the checkout...'

    It amuses me when some of these people ask for help or money. I do not mind helping anyone in real need if I can help them. However, some people do try to push the boundaries including many so-called refugees. Many of these people mostly males come over to western countries asking for refugee...

    Hidden Aussie banknotes in wallet could be worth fortune

    My son was bitten by the coin collecting bug last year (2024). "Guess who is doing all the looking for the gems" in our loose change. I have taken on most of the duties associated with looking for coin errors, low mintage and commemorative coins. We have a few old banknotes (one- and two-dollar...

    'I agreed to help someone buy essentials, but when we got to the checkout...'

    No, you were being ripped off and taken advantage of. If anyone were truly requiring real help they would have been satisfied with the lower priced store products, just being glad for the support from others. There is an old saying "give them an inch and they will take a mile". There is a big...

    I do not care what people's motives are, they should not disrespect those who fought, and many lost their lives fighting for the freedom we as the people of this country (Australia) now enjoy.
