Robots for the aging
(closed)
(Preview)
We have had a Royal Commission into aged care and, to me, it's frightening to think of the mistreatment and lack of resources that may be just around the corner. We also have the need to reduce the world population but there may not be enough people to look after the old. However, it's estimated that ro...

Interested to hear of peoples experiences on horror stretches of road while traveling. Our worst experience was back in the 80's towing a Bushwacker camper trailer with a Subaru 4x4 station wagon traveling from Jindabyne NSW to Buchan VIC.

A while back, the Daughter gave me a "Man bag", and I have been under pressure to use it. BUT it has ten pockets, this means that if you put something in the bag, that's the last you see of it! Its got so many pockets, there's no room for anything like a rain coat or hat etc. On top of that, using it I feel naked, I...

In Days Gone By.

This may be of interest to some on here. The vision certainly takes me back to my childhood days with my Dad and a road that followed the paddock fencelines. There is some home truths in the clip as well. Just to let those who dont have much internet data, this film goes for approx half an hour. Enjoy, https...

At the time the prime minister, good king Gough, had just flown Qantas to the UK for his summer break. On that same day, the deputy prime minister Jim Cairns and...

Supermarkets profiteering?
(Preview)
Supply issues to supermarkets seems to be easing but I do wonder if Safeway (perhaps others too) have been taking advantage of the supply issue and increased a number of product prices significantly? A few of the items I buy regularly, and have for some years, have seen price jumps of anywhere from 25%...
