24.01.2022 There's big money in esports (video game sports). A player from Melbourne, Ana Pham, won a similar amount from a single tournament as Novak Djokovic did for winning the Australian Open. And like traditional sports, epsorts has a huge betting market built around it. But with fewer governing bodies, it's attracting criminals who tempt young players into match-fixing. https://ab.co/2V5coSv

20.01.2022 The Too Hard Basket is back! This week an issue that has got right up Nicole's nose... she writes: "I go to a small gym and the classes I attend has members ranging in various ages from 40's to 70's. One of the older ladies always wears a very strong perfume. ... I find I have become very sensitive to strong smells (they can actually give me an irritated throat) and I just find her perfume very overpowering so I try not to stand near her but sometimes this is unavoidable. She is such a lovely woman and well liked by everyone and I realise the problem is my own. Two years ago I found it too much and stopped going to the gym altogether but I have rejoined because I miss the fitness and social aspect. What should I do here, not say anything and just grin and bear it? Or have a quiet word? I know I wouldn't be upset if someone had to speak to me about a similar issue but I realise such a thing could be very upsetting to some. Interested to know others views on this and how they would feel or react." Photo by Geert Pieters on Unsplash
