• Wheres a copper when you need him?

  
  North Coast Voices — Authority: 141
  A mate was down in Yamba visiting rellies last week when he took a walk to the local shopping centre. Being a bit slow on his pins he started to cross Treelands Drive at the point which has a pedestrian island in the centre of the road. Without warning, a big semi headed for Bi-Lo supermarket crossed over to the ...

  Author! Author! — Authority: 120
  As I mentioned last time, I’m planning to spend the next few weeks going through my to-blog-about stack, concentrating on all of those great questions from readers that I answered briefly in the comments, but never managed to get around to devoting a entire post or two to expanding upon, as I intended. I’m well ...

• Golf Pet Peeve #9: Cell Phone Guy

  
  Game Under Repair by Robert Bruce — Authority: 112
  Sometimes, golf etiquette seems so obvious that I wonder how people miss it in the first place. Such is the case with cell phones on the golf course. When Cell Phone Guy isnt looking, throw his phone in the lake. (Image: Explosion 5000/Flickr) In my opinion, cell phones are welcome on the course—with a few ...

• I Love Christmas … But November 10th?

  
  Motherwise Cracks — Authority: 111
  Even my kids, who LOVE Christmas, agree that is a bit much. We were riding home from Christmas shopping and saw through a window, a Christmas tree up and decorated on November 10. Sorry but that is crazy, and that is coming from someone who loves the whole season. While I love Christmas because everyone is home, ...

• Men vs Women – Punctuality

  
  The Gallivantings of Daniel Franklin Gomez — Authority: 125
  This is one of my pet peeves – waiting for a woman to get dress. It’s difficult to blame them, as I think it’s in their DNA. Men tend to be on time, or at least within 30 minutes. However, I dislike being late as I think most men can say the same. Women on the other hand, NEEDS to be late, as late as possible! ...

• a [biased] Cebuana on Manila

  
  an adventure called life — Authority: 103
  Cebu City, where I live, has been described as Manila minus the mayhem -- and what a difference the mayhem makes! Every time I visit Manila, my thoughts always run along the thread of "Thank God, I dont live here." All right! Hold your fire! =) I do know a lot of people who like living in Manila, my own sister ...

• Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens.

  
  :: visual connections :: — Authority: 111
  These are a few of my (not so) favourite things. Quit it with the HDR images.  Let me qualify that.  I like the fact that it’s possible to rescue detail that’s normally not visible through the camera lens.  But please, for the love of all that’s holy and pure, try to go lightly on the tone mapping.  ...

• The Instant Pet Peeve

  
  The view from here — Authority: 417
  by Stella An apology in advance: Sorry, I may end up ranting. We all have our pet peeves – little things which really really really annoy us and we dont know why. Our annoyance is not proportionate to the action. If someone tries to run you over, then getting mad is reasonable. If someone puts the milk carton ...

• When local government descends into politically correct insanity

  
  North Coast Voices — Authority: 141
  Sometimes the email inbox holds the strange but true and last week was no exception as it spat out a little local government weirdness. Now Im not a cigarette/cigar/pipe smoker and generally agree that passive smoke concentrated in enclosed spaces isnt a good thing for people to breathe. But even I think Clarence ...

• Ask Mary Anything: Final Edition

  
  A Merry Life — Authority: 512
  Last night I went out and had a glass of white wine, a shot ( slippery nipple ), 2 vodka and redbulls, some bread with garlic, and a delicious serving of chicken alfredo of which I ate most.  Mmmm.  Fun times.  Gotta have a little fun and indulgence now and again, no? Anyway, today is the last edition of Ask ...

• Pet Peeve

  
  Melette — Authority: 111
  I hate to be interrupted. I really really do not like it. The reason that I dont like it is because its like what Im saying is not important enough for somebody to let me finish. I really am going to just stop talking when people interrupt me. Clearly, they arent interested in what Im saying.

  Fear and Loathing In Georgetown — Authority: 487
  FLG was just watching the Ancient Discoveries on the History Channel. Hes never seen it before, but this episode focused on torture . As part of this "investigation" they decide to build a tunica molesta. They try different stuff before creating a paste with wax in it. Then they put it on a guy wrapped in ...

• 6 Annoying Things Millennials Do @ the Office

  
  Jobacle.com Blog — Authority: 125
  I have always preached that too much is made about Gen X vs. Gen Y in the world of work.  Generalizing an entire generation, regardless of when they were born, is totally unfair.  One can easily sit back and accuse Gen X of being a bunch of anxiety-ridden control freaks who spend too much time sulking and ...

• What Have I told You About Backup and Restore?

  
  Motherwise Cracks — Authority: 111
  I was sent on a mission.  My daughter’s computer died and I was to get the system restore disks to her. Following the directions to find them in her things was like being on a  Lewis and Clark expedition, but I found the box in her closet. No disks in the box. As I read the manual, I noted she was supposed to ...

• What is WRONG with the Metropolitan Toronto Police Department??

  
  Jim Kenzie's The Driver's Seat — Authority: 125
  Its bad enough that the Metro cops charged a Toronto store owner for defending his property against a shoplifter with a 30-year long record of victimizing his community. (At least they dropped the kidnapping charge, but at what point did that EVER make sense??) But according to Brad Diamond, producer and host of TSNS ...

  On the radio the other day, a newscaster said, “President Obama has been in office for a year now …”  Excuse me, what?She was leading into another point she wanted to make about how little movement there has been in certain areas in this first year of the Obama presidency.  And, while I can agree [...]
