In Days Gone By.

This may be of interest to some on here. The vision certainly takes me back to my childhood days with my Dad and a road that followed the paddock fencelines. There is some home truths in the clip as well. Just to let those who dont have much internet data, this film goes for approx half an hour. Enjoy, https...

At the time the prime minister, good king Gough, had just flown Qantas to the UK for his summer break. On that same day, the deputy prime minister Jim Cairns and...

Supermarkets profiteering?
(Preview)
Supply issues to supermarkets seems to be easing but I do wonder if Safeway (perhaps others too) have been taking advantage of the supply issue and increased a number of product prices significantly?

Why Putin has done this is beyond me! Sanctions will cause great damage to the Russian economy, the people will be very hard hit by them, the invasion will not be popular in Russia, Russia will become an outcast from global society for decades and will never again be trusted, keeping control of Ukrain...

Well done, why pay $200,000+?

Scam SMS insurance claim link
(Preview)
I received an SMS from a major insurance company to claim online due to the recent weather. It is a scam. If you need to claim contact your insurance company by other means, do NOT do so by any link under any circumstances. It is a scam.
