John you are either in a Monty Python sketch or Yes Minister episode. Don't you realise bureaucrats have endless hours in the day to think up embuggerances for the citizenry. Just cos they can!

My dear departed MIL loved a good moan - would ask how you were just so she then had an opening to tell you just how she was. Which was of course ever so much worse than you. My other sister in law said - you better have a vasectomy, that'd be about he only thing she couldn't top

I've often wondered why media outlets feel the need to stick in a person's age - if a person'd been robbed oir injured in a traffic accident why do we need to know if they are 23 or 53?? I did raise my eyebrows one day reading of an accident where an 'elderly' pedestrian of 65 had been knocked...

I recall here in Melbourne years ago, and if I recall this related to private parking areas (eg a temporary one on an empty site) illegal parkers would be clamped.....there was an enormouse outcry. But clamping like they do in the UK where people park on the street on no parking areas. A lovely...

Just the one photo would have been quite sufficient!

There's a few seats that are free so far....the ones in the toilets...it's a wonder they haven't come up with charging for oilet paper

I heard on 3AW a few days ago, an ad for Hardly Normal selling HP computer stuff. Or as the girl reading the ad said more than once, Haitch P. Grrr

I'd rather have dishes piled on the sink waiting for their turn in the dishwasher, than wash stuff by hand. We have solar, doesn't cost anything to run. The new Bosch dishwasher is marvellous, it's so quiet I can only tell it's running by the little red lights on the floor. Washes in under an...

I put a new kitchen in last year. Bosch induction cooktop - just brilliant, I've always used gas but this is a marvel. Note you're tight for space, so am I but the 600 cooktop and oven are plenty big enough. I have the Bosch Series 6 dishwasher - again it's brilliant. I've had Miele for the last...

I was born here and intrigued to read some of the questions when young English cousins became citizens 9 years ago - like we have 3 official flags not one -of course familiar with the Aboriginal flag but I honestly did not know the Torres Strait Island flag was official.

It doesn't matter where I've been go or what amazing scenery and buildings I've seen - this still lifts my heart every single time

There's the red flag - right there in Para 4. "Banking ethics"

Dammit. I've been noodling round on my computer for years, & have I ever received any spam chatting to me about enduring unforgettable pleasures? I have not. I feel quite left out.

After running a large inner city strata management company with my husband for 30+ years one thing I would say (even more relevant these days with bigger and bigger buildings) is that many people who are buying apartments don't understand it's communal living. So you have to consider other...

They'd have some kind of tracking device surely? Why aren't the company owners compelled to have vans with trailers like the siupermarkets do, to go and collect them? (well they would need a lot of trailers but...)Or why can't local councils do the same and then fine the company? Like when your...

WCMO - in spades. The behaviour from the 3 feral kids in the row in front who without exaggeration could not sit still for more than a minute at a time. I'm putting it down to them being glued these daysto devices/tvs/ipads and not being able to concentrate. It was a dance concert mostly primary...

I'm 3 weeks into a new knee so confined to barracks and have been stooging aimlessly through cable offerings to find something half decent and engrossing. Honestly there's so much cough on offer it felt like I was trapped in the back aisle at Block Buster video

I'm in the middle of a series called "Slow Horses' an English spy drama set in London currently. Stars Gary Oldman who is absolutely marvellous

...and sometimes it's just a typo!!

I made my husband go and get another photo done. He has a moustache, and he looked like Pedro the Mexican Bandit. I read somewhere once if anyone can recognise you by your passport photo you're sicker than you thought! My tip for ladies, wear something red, full makeup and a red lippy!
