    Grammar Discussions

    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

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    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...

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    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...

    Scams like these

    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.

    What cheeses me off

    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...

    What cheeses me off

    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...

    What cheeses me off

    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...

    TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

    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

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    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!

    TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

    I know zero about soccer but watched it over the weekend and it was terrific. Later read a review in the paper which said David Beckham had a hole in his heart the size of Alex Ferguson

    Article: I Nearly Missed My Flight And Forgot How to Navigate an Airport

    A girlfriend and I travelled to Italy & UK about 10 years ago both in our 60s and a fair bit of travel under our belts. We had about 5 hours to kill at Heathrow and kill em we did. Had lots of fun in the shops. My friend was getting full makeup done at a cosmetics counter (as you do) when I...

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    Watching the US show Undercover Boss really illustrates to those bosses with their heads in an anatomically difficult positoin the nitty gritty about their businesses.I reckon it would be a huge eye opener for the new boss!
