Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said,...

I have both of the 4 ingredient cook books which I take with me on trips. They are great for travellers and cheaper than your average camping cook books. Having only 4 ingredients also makes for cheap meals.

Need a bit of informed advice: need an inverter to recharge AA-size batteries and possibly power a laptop occasionally, nothing more. What size should I be looking at? Cheers, Tony

That is an interesting but not at all unexpected view on South Australia in today's editorial. As a South Australian it pains me to agree but in reality I have to. There really is nothing happening here at all because of a small minority of "Greenie doooo-gooders". We have absolutely no ne...

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind. Today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them. Hellloooo,....... just because I'm...

Medical Stimulus Package: Apparently the Australian Medical Association has weighed in on the new economic stimulus package..... The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neu...

Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong, 'Yes, Nurse Tracy,' said Mr. Wallace. 'My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.' Knowing her patients were a little forgetf...

We spent a lovely day today driving up around Mt Tambourine, Qld. The scenery and views were spectacular on the way up. First stop was The Tom Thumm Gallery and winery. We talked with a very nice artist, John Palmer, who was happy to explain not only his art, but also the shells and coral that he framed....

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally but this one is real, and it's important. Please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list. If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm wea...

We need to get new tyres for the Patrol. Any suggestions / recommendations ? An all weather all rounder would be good. Cheers, Freddo

See you can write hubris which means bullsh it....
