I use my pinky finger to hook around the bottom edge of the door handle. I also use my knuckle for pushing buttons at pedestrian crossings.

Latex gloves? Or maybe your immune system will protect you anyway?

Terrific news from the Korean Peninsula. Finally some sense coming to part of the world at least.

Difficult when you are married to an accountant..... and as I do all the bookings, and pay for everything while on holidays, he has no idea how much it has cost. He only wants to know at the end of the trip.

I have Mr FM well trained. He has no idea about anything financial. He comes to me and says - Can I buy a new camera. I say yes or no and he goes away again.

I got into problems with Ms FM’s wedding, as her husband blurted out a few prices on things that he thought were ridiculous and Mr FM was quite shocked

Someone should write a design flowchart for dunny designers,.. rule #1..the bin for the paper must be beside the last door handle.
The Morrison Hotel at Woolloongabba has the most amazing boys loo, it is unbelievably tiny and I assume that a substantial tip is budgeted for each years sanitary inspection. Whenever they have a big night the loo gets very messy and the pile of paper on the floor at the last exit is substantial.

Nobel Peace Prize. I’d say Trump will share in it. If he does nothing else then I’d have to say Trump helped to change the world.

I’m skeptical.

This is not the first time NK Kims have shaken hands with SK Presidents. There is a bigger game being played behind the scenes and it’s not on the Korean Peninsula. IMO China’s influence will be enhanced by the eventual settlement of Korea, with wider Korea becoming closer to China giving it total dominance in South China Sea, and isolating Japan. It has the Port of Darwin. So the US will be pushed and restricted to Perth.

The game is being directed by China

I will live in hope.

The reason KLU gave up nuclear testing is that the whole complex for their research has collapsed with much loss of life and leaks of radiation just 60Km from Chinese boarder.

But use whatever leverage at your disposal.

If history is any guide....

The korean peninsula is being played - they are just pawns in a much bigger game

Toilet lid down.

Simple reason...dog in the house!

I saw the photos, you're not old and decrepit

I agree with what TV says, but I also think it would be nice to turn back the clock, oh to be in my twenties and know what I do now, sigh!

Me included. I don’t like touching anything when I go. If a public toilet has the lid down I use my feet (shoe) to raise it up.

If I have to touch the seat I make sure I use some paper.

Interesting toilet talk.

For public loos i/we prefer that people have and do leave seats and lids up but at home they are down.

And cats! I did read that cats don't like to have their food bowl next to their water bowl, hence their liking of drinking shower/bath/sink water.

One of our cats used to head straight to the fish pond for a drink when let outside under supervision. A glass of water on the table beside the bed was another favourite place for all of them to drink from.

When Bella was a little kitten I had to rescue her from a flushing toilet

Cynical me says that he'd be happy for any news to keep stormy off the front page.....
