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!

A Japanese airline would be about the only one that could manage in the time! Have you seen the train ladies in action - theyare tremendously efficient

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

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...

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!

There's a US show called Undercover Boss. Boss works at several of thier businesses undercover - and it's a real eye opener. Then she'd really find out where the bumps are

There is a fairly new David Austin rose released in Oz, called 'The Lady Gardener'

There was an interesting program a few years ago about how Heston Blumenthal had been brought in by (I assume) BA to revise their menu - possibly in first class.. He came up with some fancy dancy ideas, a couple were for the crew to finish cooking them in midair or some such nonsense. He was on...

Lack of customer service? That should have hardened you up to deal with Qantas

I've been cheesed off for years at the cost of Medibank Private premiums. We've paid so much my new membership card is now a gold one! MrMac has had quite a few health issues in the last 20 years - heart & cancer. Most recently a heart ablation procedure 3 months ago. All well & great results...

In my experience is always a great idea to keep the tradies on-side (not that you wouldn't be pleasant) but a little kindness goes a long way. I recall in the good old days of landlines having the Telstra fellows in on a Sat to put in ONE extra point. Being winter and Melbourne it was terribly...

Just started using charcoal - stunningly better than heatbeads. I could not believe the difference

If ever I get sick I wanna get Vibrio Vulcanificus. What an absolutely magnificent name

All this talk about hands in food takes me back to the mid 60s and our domestic science teacher Miss Anderson. Dark red nail polish always in the same state of chipped-ness. Making pastry with red talons poking about in it and the odd fleck of polish you'd find. Absolutely gross. IIt scarred me...
