In a humorous report by Manbir Kohli of Pemulwuy, it is highlighted that a recent change in rules at the Bunnings sausage sizzle has caused controversy. Instead of buns, only slices of bread are now permitted to wrap the sausages. This change has led to speculation about whether an ex-PM had a hand in this decision. Additionally, Susan Bradley of Eltham shares a quirky anecdote about being contacted by the ghost of her Latin teacher and receiving reprimands for her translations from Latin.

Stein Boddington of St Clair adds humor to the situation by mentioning that Google Translate has provided a rather unflattering interpretation of Susan’s Latin meaning. Despite Miss Frisby’s criticisms of Susan’s abilities, Stein assures readers that Coral is none of the negative qualities mentioned in the translation. In a different vein, Barry Lamb of Eastwood shares his frugal habits of darning socks and wearing frayed shirts in an attempt to start a fashion trend based on waste-mitigation rather than style.

Meanwhile, Kenneth Smith of Orange humorously describes using his Schwinn Beach Cruiser, equipped with both front hand brake and rear back pedal brake, to ride one-handed with a takeaway coffee in the other. Allan Gibson of Cherrybrook reflects on a weather segment by the ABC’s Tom Saunders, where the weatherman denied the existence of a “rain bomb.” This declaration raises questions about whether the Bureau of Meteorology shares the same view. In a more positive note, Rob Baxter of Naremburn highlights the relief of a sunny weekend after a heavy rain event on a Friday.

Warren Mitchell of Mosman shares a lighthearted anecdote about his daughter’s ingenuity when she climbed onto the stove using her play table to make breakfast with her plastic dinnerware, causing a scare with the smell of burning in the house. These quirky and humorous anecdotes paint a picture of everyday life and interactions that bring a sense of humor and light-heartedness to readers.
