    Restaurants now charge for bringing your own cake! Could this impact your next dining out experience?

    I was thinking that $10 probably wasn't unreasonable, but $10 PER HEAD! That strikes me as excessively excessive.

    Outraged homeowner draws flack for a 'ridiculous' note exposing a golfer's behaviour

    That's what I was thinking. The club ought to come to the party for half the cost at least.

    What is your hobby or something you love doing

    I'm a cardmaker, too. I'm currently making birthday cards for the residents of a local nursing home (see pix). I also make mixed media folios/scrapbooks, and also make digital scrapbooks of my grandchildren every year. My eldest granddaughter has just turned 18 so there are 18 photobooks of her :)

    50 years after Freddo Frog, Cadbury reveals an exciting new character: the Caramilk Wallaby

    And in order to introduce all these new products, they've deleted MY favourite Peppermint Freddo. I don't like Caramilk, it's far too sweet for my taste.

    Horrific revelation: woman shows shocking consequences of years of gel nail manicures

    I agree wholeheartedly. I've only had acrylic nails once and when one broke, I took the rest off only to find that my natural nails had deteriorated, were splitting vertically and very fragile. This was 20 years ago and my nails have never really recovered.

    Learning grammar is just as important as it always was but the way we teach it has changed

    Wrong use of apostrophes is what bugs me the most. Have a look at the attached file which explains apostrophes simply.

    Shoppers are fuming over this 'frustrating' Kmart checkout detail! Do you agree?

    I have no objection to a checkout in the middle of the store. Nor do I have a problem with showing my receipt as I leave the store. But I what I do rather object to is the fact that now the person at the door has to register the barcode on the receipt. That DOES hold everybody up.

    Joke The Mirror Doesn't Lie!

    I object, too. I've been called all sorts of things because I'm blonde. And it's NOT FUNNY!

    Roald Dahl rewrites: Rather than bowdlerising books on moral grounds we should help children to navigate history

    I'd like to know who it is makes these decisions. Are they not game enough to have their names published? I've read these stories to my children and my grandchildren and all I ever got at these expressions were hoots of laughter and giggles. And not one of them has grown up to be disrespectful...

    Joke My Computer

    I have the grown-up version and couldn't live without it but multiple copies of the old version are used all the time and I couldn't live without them either :)

    15-minute veal schnitzel with mashed potatoes

    I did cooking lessons in the 60s and we were taught to marinate the veal in lemon juice and salt and pepper for an hour or so before doing the egg and breadcrumbs. We also crushed up plain potato chips to sprinkle on top of the mashed potato. Served with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion...

    Woolworths shopper’s revolting find in her salad sparks outrage

    Likewise ... many years ago I complained to Kelloggs about the lack of sultanas in their Sultana Bran. Came home from work one day to find a box on the doorstep absolute chockers with Kelloggs products and a letter of apology. Time was you got this sort of treatment, but no more. Like some of...

    Shoppers stunned by 'ridiculous' cost of popular fruit at supermarkets: 'No way'

    My MARMALADE is much easier and possibly much nicer. I make it every winter when navel oranges are in season and have it every morning on sourdough toast. It's just yum no matter which combination of fruit I've used. Try it with just lemon and carrot :) 500gr oranges, lemons, mandarins...

    See the $18,000 wedding dress that the internet HATES

    That is one seriously awful dress. Just trying to imagine someone wearing it is doing my head in.
