Many, many moons ago, in my single-girl days, there occurred an incident that to this day is probably still the single funniest thing that I can recall from my ‘youth’.   Several friends and I were at a dodgy-yet-packed-to-the-brim bar in Sydney, when my girlfriend Tania caught the attention of a rather handsome boy. In due course, said boy casually sauntered over and began a conversation with her.   As soon as the boy had gone to visit the bath...

  Were you born before 1970 ? ... do you remember ‘the good old days’ ?. Webs were for spiders, and websites were spots you avoided walking in your garden. Surfing required water, nets were for fishermen, and a megabyte was what you took when you were really hungry. A hard drive was a difficult car trip, a download meant a truck had turned over, and a virus was something you went to the doctor for. Wallpaper went on walls , blinds stopped the neighbours peeking in, and wi...

  From the ‘ disorders one could never tolerate' department comes this little gem ...   A woman in Sydney, Australia who has been caught red-handed by her partner in the act of having sex with another man says she was asleep at the time and had no idea what she was doing.   The woman’s’ partner, (long confounded by   finding used condoms scattered around their home in the morning), was stunned to eventually discover that she was lea...

  If you are of marriageable age, chances are you will eventually get accosted by ‘well-meaning’ relatives loudly enquiring as to when you will finally get off the shelf and bag yourself a spouse ‘whilst you still have a chance’. I married at age 30 after fending off the above rude question for about a decade. Hence, I became rather adept at incorporating insults into my answers to said question. I have collected these responses over the years from various sources, and now present...

  This week, you can take 5 'things' from anywhere in the world and make them your own. T hey must be actual 'things' and not money or spirituality-related 'issues'. (Although you can ask for thing/s you want to on-sell). You can have a building. You can have a person. You can even have a country if you like. Whatever you want that laws, or money, or logistics have so far made impossible, it's now yours. S o, what in the world will you choose...
