Gday... The competition watchdog has launched an urgent investigation into Australia's honey industry, saying allegations of "fake" honey are "very concerning". That's how the article here begins. How come they can't get their act together and get their 'investigations' into the petrol/fuel...

How long should DIY electrical tools last? I have just had my bench circular saw and slide compound mitre saw die. The bench saw is 7 years old and has done a reasonable amount of work.

Probably been covered before, but sadly quite a few of us will suffer with some form of dementia as the years roll on. I worked for a number of years in Aged Care as Head of Maintenance at a medium sized nursing home, and in that capacity visited on a daily basis all the various areas in the home. We had a dedi...

It was a good decision to stay for an extra night as strong gusty winds caused huge dust storms over the whole area & driving visibility was low. There's now a new free camping opti...

The wife came out of the bathroom after her shower, stark naked and walked into the bedroom. She said to me "Babe, shut the curtains, I don't want the neighbours to see me naked." "Don't worry," I replied, "if the neighbours see you naked, they'll shut their own curtains!"
