    Woman dies on the spot before Qantas flight take-off

    Thankfully, tuberculosis is not highly contagious and you usually only get it from repeated exposure to an infected person. Typically it occurs when people live in overcrowded housing conditions. The fellow passengers should be okay as their exposure was brief and a "one-off" encounter. It is...

    Woman dies on the spot before Qantas flight take-off

    Tuberculosis has never been "stamped out". Only two diseases have ever been eradicated - smallpox (in humans) and rinderpest (in cattle), and that's because of vaccination. The reduced incidence of tuberculosis and many other diseases is also because of vaccination.

    'I am never serving them again!': Shocking act leads waitress to make a drastic vow

    The problem is not with tourists. The problem is with the government of that country. In the case of Canada, there is no federally mandated minimum wage requirement. It is left up to the provinces so they are all different. Average is $15. Canada and the USA need to require restaurants and...

    Dog groomer faces $7500 fine after shocking treatment to customer’s pet

    Stories like this are useless (and annoying) if the offending business is not identified. How do we know where NOT to take our pets?

    Bunnings employee exposes mistreatment of workers by sexist customers

    Not just customers but male staff as well. As a woman, I have been patronised by Bunnings male staff on many occasions. Like the time I happened to be standing in the kitchen section (waiting for my husband) when a male staff member approached me and asked what I was interested in. When I...

    Discover this shopper’s shocking revelation about Woolworths 'low price' items: 'How am I supposed to live laugh love?'

    The whole premise is faulty. You can't compare salmon with Mexican food to imply that it is cheaper to eat out than cook at home. The true comparison would be to work out how much does buying the salmon in the supermarket cost (and how many meals would it make, or how many people would it...

    The Cranky Codger: Self-Checkout Machines: The Silent Con Artists of the Supermarket Aisle

    It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that you and I are paying higher prices to cover the cost of theft.

    FRIENDLY THONGS

    In ancient Greece, prostitutes wore special sandals that imprinted a message in the dirt which read "follow me". For real - no joke.

    MAN SLOWS TRAFFIC

    There was a fellow here in WA, who lived on a busy street, who made his letterbox look like a speed camera. It worked too. When people complained, the police shrugged their shoulders and said there was no law against it.

    Icecream for the soul

    Icecream for the soul Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. My 8-year-old grandson asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would thank you even more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And God save...

    Nothing in this meme indicated racism, as opposed to jokes that are intellectual, political, religious, sexual, etc. It was just a comment regarding jokes in general but I think you've illustrated the point beautifully.

    Outrage ensues after landlord criticises tenant’s 'continuous' repair appeals

    "the landlord listed several issues, such as a faulty roller door, a loose doorknob, and an uncooperative plumbing system, dismissing them as minor concerns that didn't require immediate attention" What a jerk! Tenants are entitled to expect to live in a house in good repair. That includes...
