Enough for... well... something I guess.

I just signed up for gas only as I have solar and a good plan with EA. But it was interesting that EA had an offer of a better gas plan for me to save a few hundred per year but when I looked at the AGL pricing it was still better than the new EA pricing. So it will be worth it even without the...

I missed this thread at the time. Popcorn sales would have been affected.

I keep seeing people promoting Taiwan on r/travel (Reddit) which has got me interested. A huge number of mountain peaks over 2000m alone makes it of note.

Believe or not, straight to jail!

I don't recall ever seeing the offer. But Virgin seems to have put me on a "no promotional emails" list. I stopped getting the weekly sale email around the time of Covid and it has never returned no matter what I do with updating preferences. I even phoned them and they assured me I would get...

I did have a drive of a friend's new BYD Seal a few weeks ago. Was a nice ride. Wasn't sure about having to say "All praise the CCP" before I could press the start button though.

I wonder if they ever left Dubai?

Pop over? From where? SA?

Forgot to take the black electrical tape to cover up the insanely bright LEDs in our hotel rooms in Vietnam and Cambodia. Of course when there I only thought of it at night in bed, not when I was out in the street near shops. One place had an on button on the AC which was like sleeping with...

I mentioned originally how the airport seems to be built on the only rise in this part of Cambodia. You can see here the embankments around the edges showing how much earth had to be moved.

Travelled to Vietnam Cambodia in March-April 2024. We'd flown from HCMC to Phnom Penh and taken a private car to Siem Reap for our visit to Angkor Wat and surrounds. As the car took over six hours but gave us a nice look around the countryside, we decided it wouldn't be a return trip so booked a...

Just back yesterday from Vietnam and Cambodia. Great trip, with a lot of flights within four weeks. Flew SQ on points SYD-SIN-HAN and stayed in Hanoi, van out to Sapa, back to Hanoi, flew to Danang (VietJet was much better than expected - a lot of online whingers about lost luggage and delays)...

My father used to say that Bentleys were the middle class version of the Rolls Royce produced for the nouveau riche so as to not devalue the RR brand by having people with actual chins driving them around. My father was quite the character...

By the way I managed to see the new Siem Reap Angkor airport this week. I may post some pics in a separate thread. Has quite the "white elephant" feel about it. We only flew domestic (one way from SR to PP) after getting a car ride out to SR from PP. Huge shiny empty place in the middle of...
