We installed solar panels 2 months ago. Apart from having to get used to running appliances during the day it's proving good (and this is in Melbourne where we're expecting Noah to sail past any day) Given all the kerfuffle about alternative sources of energy I just don't understand why the...

We are with Apia - for about 4 years now. Noticed a crack in the windscreen suddenly (as in overnight appear- we hadn't had a stone or anything hit the screen) appear in MrMac's 1 year old Kia.Rang Apia, they transferred me direct to Windscreens O'Brian, I booked the car in (a seamless process...

ohhhh I must have blocked that but now I can actually smell it. No wonder we baby boomers are a robust lot

Or from the water tank in which case you had bonus protein in the form of wrigglers

Dropped into a cafe on the weekend to grab a takeway coffee, the sweet young thing behind the counter apologised that we'd have to go to the other end of the cafe as they only had one Barrister working.....

I saw a joke that you should use as your password 'passwordincorrect' so it reminds you every time

Can't imagine my dad -who would now be 103- reading that and understanding more than a word or two. Some joker gets paid to produce that rubbish

I'm seriously thinking of getting business-type cards printed with "No one is interested in listening to your stupid phone conversation carried out at full volume. Shut the ....up"

I'm casting my eyes around the room looking for the Monty Python cast !

Yhey might. But one of the cost cutting measures also introduced is NO PARACHUTES.......

That'll teach me to skite - MrMac's and my applications posted together. His arrived in 16 days hence why I was showing off. 3 weeks ago that was, mine hasn't turned up yet

Both our passports expired late last year (no planned trips so didn't give it a thought). There will be no more o/s trips for MrMac anyway due to restrictions on insurance cover. To be prudent though a 'just in case' scenario happened I thought we'd better renew. Clearly the universe has a...

Correction if I may. Just about EVERY other airline will look after you better than Qantas 1655711571 I'm so fed up I', tempted to say stuff it and turn the points into a toaster

Yup. Loved it - helps we grew up in the era of cowboy films at the Satdee arvo flicks.....Try Longmire too, an Australian actor Robert Taylor who you'll instantly recognise, though as we watched it a year or two ago I'm not sure where you'd find it. In fleeing the endless AFL coverage I started...

My husband lost his twice #1 was whilst gardening at our first home, missing for a year or s0, then one day while I was digging over a bed I caught a quick gleam of gold and found it. #2 was about 20 years later, he used to slip it off when playing golf and must have pulled it along with his...

The colour reminded me of Jarrah

I think where we have all gotten off track is using the words "Qantas" and "Customer" and "Service" in the same sentence.

I live only 3 suburbs away and was waiting for 10 days for a parcel to arrive. I suspect there's something very attractive about that facility that makes the parcels want to linger.....

That floor in the theatre is magnificent - what's the timber, do you know?

I'm in the middle of planning a replacement kitchen, a very small u-shaped one but I'll end up with a long bench on one end - had a big disagreement with the degigner about moving the sink ti it. I'm a terrible grub & after preparing a meal the joint looks like a bomb site. No way do I want all...
