Good morning, members, and welcome to another fantastic Friday! Can you believe it’s already the end of the week? Time flies when you’re having fun, and we know we’ve had a blast over here at SDC. Did you finish everything you wanted to this week? If not, don’t worry – there’s always next week to finish things up. For now, it’s time to unwind and enjoy the weekend. Do you have any exciting plans? As for me (Vella), my partner is currently having the time of her life on a family holiday in Vietnam, and I already miss her. So this weekend, I'll be spending quality time with my family, embracing the indoors because, let's face it, it's chilly out there!
Enough chit-chat; let's dive into today's newsletter! Let's kick things off with the week's final riddle, shall we?
What common English word describes a person or thing as not being found in any place, and yet, with no changes other than a space between syllables, will correctly describe that person or thing as being present at this very moment?
Ha! You didn't see that coming, did you? This will surely get those cogs in your brain turning. If you think you know the answer, head over to the riddle masters thread here. If you get the answer correct, we'll give you a well-deserved shout-out in tomorrow's newsletter!
Now, let’s see what’s happening around Australia and the world today.
-
‘Only $529 per kilo!’ The jaw-dropping price of a newly launched ‘luxury’ food item at Woolworths has sparked a heated debate among shoppers. Would YOU buy this?
-
This is not a drill! One of McDonald's ‘all-time favourite’ menu items is finally back after a two-year hiatus. But you have to be quick!
-
This Kmart shopper has taken the internet by storm after revealing a ‘brilliant’ $15 buy that keeps your bread fresh for twice as long! ‘This is brilliant!’
-
Over at ALDI, this $69 travel essential is causing a stir among shoppers, with many saying it’s better than its big-brand counterparts.
-
WATCH OUT! A new text scam has been doing the rounds, disguising itself as a popular airline and targeting vulnerable Australians. This is what it looks like.
-
Unfortunately, that’s not the only scam you need to look out for. Billions of Facebook users have also been warned about a very cruel ‘look who just died’ scheme designed to steal your private information. Keep an eye out for this, members!
-
‘If I can work until 70, it’ll be a miracle.’ Australians have voiced their outrage over the new proposal to increase the pension age to 70. Do YOU think this decision is fair?
-
'Unf***ingbelievable' A Woolworths shopper with a dietary condition was left furious over the staggering price of his modest shop, highlighting the struggle faced by all of us Aussies.
-
'Wrong, just wrong!’ ALDI shoppers are up in arms over the mega retailer’s new ‘in-demand’ feature across Australia. Are you in favour of the change?
-
Speaking of ALDI, one of their shoppers has sparked a debate after showing off the high-end food product she’s selling using ‘budget-friendly’ ALDI buys. ‘No way is that worth $100.'
-
Uh oh! A beloved Sunrise star found herself in an awkward situation after receiving an ‘angry text’ live on TV. ‘She’s in trouble!’
-
Home and Away and Neighbours are famous for their dramatic storylines, but why do they always seem to have a 'disaster' episode every year? A bizarre fan theory explains why and it's not what you'd expect!
-
Another day, another mouth-watering recipe to tickle your taste buds! These irresistible bites are so versatile that you can enjoy them as a delightful snack or transform them into a full meal.
