    NRL legend exposes Kangaroos players' act during national anthem—what’s your take?

    Almost every Aussie child knows the words and probably to all the verses. They learn it in school and sing it on parade/assembly. When one of my grandsons learnt Advance Australia Fair, he was so proud he wound the car window down and belted it out as loud as he could all the way home from...

    Local government sounds alarm as social media scams continue to rise in their state

    I am sick of Facebook requests from 'males' claiming they love my photograph and would love to be my 'Friend'. I am 81 years of age and not stupid.

    The Sooty Show

    I remember Sooty and Sweep on our black and white TV. When the show came to Coventry we got really good seats at the Civic Hall to see them perform right in front of us. How simple it all was compared to the multi techno noisy performances presented now. We also loved Andy Pandy, Muffin the...

    Royal shock: Find out why the Duchess of York is suddenly jetting to Australia!

    Who on Earth wrote this over flowing profusion of verbosity about a lazy, good for nothing crawler who refuses to leave a house which no longer belongs to her nor her ex-husband? She is an embarrassment to the Royal Family. She had publicized affairs while married and blatantly sold her...

    Royal downfall? Sources reveal Prince Andrew's grim life post-controversy

    I bet you feel better after this rant. Your comments are your own opinion based on what media you have seen or read and not actual facts, except for your memory of a hot day when you were made to attend. Your image of Diana and Margaret are so off-mark I am laughing. I don't know what "history"...

    And his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, also lives there at the commoners' expense. She is just as selfish, greedy and a disgrace to the Royal Family.

    Tears and controversy swirl around Meghan Markle over ‘unfair criticism’ of her brand

    Does she think people will buy it just because it has her name? Her children's books were a flop. Two of her Netflix documentaries were canned before they were even screened .

    A sour taste in Aussie’s mouths: Cadbury just tampered with beloved chocolate bar

    What has happened to the TURKISH DELIGHT in the Favourites boxes? For weeks there has been only one bar in my boxes (Yes I do eat a box a week - or used to).

    Attention travellers: Are you aware of Japan’s latest tourist ban?

    Australians have a poor reputation for being respectful when tourists in many countries, especially Asian and Central America. In Bali it is horrific to see women wearing just a bikini top and skimpy shorts at temples and shrines. The Balinese supply sarongs and ask visitors to cover their...

    Indulge your Easter cravings for under $10 as ALDI reveals its new chocolate range

    I bought Easter Eggs from Aldi one year on the Thursday before Easter. Two of them were mouldy when the kids opened them on Easter Sunday. This is not the only time I have had mouldy chocolates from Aldi and twice had insects in packaged salad leaves. No more Aldi for me since.

    Slash your grocery bill with this little-known supermarket tag secret!

    Exactly my thoughts. I have looked at price per unit for years. It is especially valuable for items like cartons of soft drink when priced on sale. Just compare the price per can and see if it is really a saving. I even do it for toilet rolls. You soon get to do it automatically when your...
