I was really peeved one day in the lift when we'd arrived at Ground and a bloke pushed me aside to get out first. I said - after you, you're most welcome. Guess it hit home because he told me very loudly to get f....'d... And as there were some of his workmates behind me I have to hope they saw...

I used to catch trams/trains when I worked in the city. If a man stood and offered me a seat I would always take it & say thank you - even if I was only going one or two stops; and I would add - I'm getting off shortly - but thank you. Please and thank you are just - or should be - automatic

I went as Kath Day-Night to a fancy dress party. After trawling through the offerings at many a Salvos I managed to get 2 tracksuits. Neon pink, acid green, purple. Looked absolutely hideous. I kept them both for a couple of weeks before I came to my senses - they were actually weirdly comfortable

Oho. I'm about to get a new kitchen and will be sans cooking facilities for 3-4 weeks. I thought I could get by with a bbq & microwave but just spotted these comments. Do you reckon it'd be worth buying one to fill the gap? I can't say I'm thrilled at the thought of a heap of microwaved meals

You wonder what previous CEOs of Qantas would make of all this - Covid aside - (how long can they trot out that excuse) every aspect of the "service" has deteriorated. And not just a little bit

That toaster is looking like a viable alternative!

The apple thingy to slip into your luggage would almost sell itself, I reckpn. Not that Qantas would get it to the passenger any quicker!

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
