I'm happy and I've got 9 kids who all make me proud. I often act as a devil’s advocate so if I defend something it doesn’t mean I support it.

Why can I never open the @9now app on my Amazon Firestick or my Fetch set top box without having to reboot them first? It doesn't happen with any other station's or other streaming apps. Does this happen to anyone else? – at Mudgee, New South Wales

From outside America, watching the left hating the right and the right hating the left, all we can see is Americans hating themselves. I'd like to say from a non-partisan point of view, you all need to literally make America great again. – at Mudgee, New South Wales

I live the Sky sports vintage of F1 here in Australia but someone needs to tell the commentators that countries other than England watch their coverage. Do they even know that Piastri is still in F1? @SkySports – at Mudgee, New South Wales

How do I contact Norton Australia? I cannot find a phone number for them. For some reason they have posted me a copy of Norton 360 Platinum. Addressed to me personally with no explanation, no invoice. There's no such thing as a free lunch so what's the catch? @Norton – at Mudgee, New South Wales

As an Australian who loves cricket and therefore is compelled by law to hate the English during an Ashes test match, I have to admit, without reluctance, I'm sad to see the retirement of Ben Stokes. By far my favourite Pom cricketer for many decades. What a champion @benstokes38 – at Mudgee, New South Wales

@nsw_transport I'm at Lithgow Station to pick up my daughter who is coming from Sydney. When I left Mudgee, your website said the train was due into Lithgow at 8:15. But now I'm here, it says 8:44. That's not the problem. Your website says it's only 6 minutes late – at Lithgow, New South Wales

The British Post Office scandal has left me with so many questions. Were all anomalies shortfalls? Or did some Post Offices have unexplained extra money in their accounts? If they were all shortfalls, where did the money go? Was that ever tracked? – at Sydney, New South Wales

Just listening to our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese talking about Herbert violence and saying men need to do something about it. He says we all (statistically) know men who abuse and we need to do something. Abusive men don't tell their friends that they abuse./2 – at Mudgee, New South Wales

I didn't know a mate was abusive until their marriage failed. No man will let their mate get away with being abusive if they know about it. What more can we do? – at Mudgee, New South Wales

I'm so sick of misleading, click bait headlines. I've completely lost trust in all media. I just saw a headline suggesting that Epstein took the photo of Prince Andrew with Virginia Giuffre inferring it proves his guilt... /2 – at Mudgee, New South Wales

But the story then says he was photographed with many of his employees, which makes that photo meaningless. I'm not suggesting Andrew is innocent, just that we cannot believe anything we read. – at Mudgee, New South Wales

If I don't reply within two hours it means I've left my phone somewhere or I'm working where there is no phone service (I live in a rural area so that's not unci).
