    Any Rick Stein fans here?

    So is anyone else a fan of Rick Stein's food? I haven't been lucky enough to eat at his restaurant in England but love his shows and his cookbooks. I may be a bit slow, but I've just found out that he's opened a restaurant in Australia. Rick Stein at Bannisters I can't wait to get the...

    That Strange Person Seated Beside You

    Jennifer Hawkins on my left and Miranda Kerr on my right... then I woke up. :lol: I can't say that I've had anyone strange or special next to me. I usually have my head buried in a book from the second I sit down.

    My First Car Purchase - assistance required

    I know you said you didn't want a 3 door car, but how about the Fiat 500. That's what I'd be getting if I was after a little city runabout. Another car to think about is the Subaru Impreza. Sub 30k, a bit more expensive to run than a Corolla, but it's a very safe car. I'm onto my second...

    Obtaining HK$

    If it's $2k HKD, just exchange here and take the cash. I'm assuming you need $2k AUD. I'm in a similar position. I have a trip to HK in 2 weeks and will be taking approx $2k AUD. I don't travel internationally much anymore so I don't really bother with credit cards etc. I'll be taking...

    Cabcharge & Working EFTPOS Terminals in Taxis

    I had a conversation with my regular Melbourne driver. He said that the cabbies take the voucher to a broker who gives them approx 2 percent of the transaction fee in CASH. This goes to the driver, not the owner. Simple and smart business really. I'm sure that nobody here will say no thanks to...

    Brand search: Who the bloody hell are we?

    They need to move out of the stone age with their marketing. Think of how successful the "Worlds Best Job" campaign was. Nothing better than free advertising. How about an Amazing Race style race around Australia with $1M as the prize? Surely that would get broadcast around the world. They...

    How were your items stolen from Airline Lounges

    I would never think of leaving things behind unless they were with someone I trusted. I'm even cautious about leaving things around when I go for another drink. That's just paranoid me though.... and work drilling it into me. These days you don't even have to have your wallet stolen to lose...

    family transfer

    I am not a legal expert by any means and not sure whether this question accounts for anything in your benifit. Who earned the points? If it was you, surely that would mean that you are entitled to a high percentage of the worth of those points. As I said, I'm not expert and logic seems to have...

    Where to watch the AFL final in Hong Kong?

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm staying at an IC property so I'm guessing they might have the Australia Network. I'm going to drop them an email to check. Haha excellent advice. I'll send you the bill :p I was thinking about sending her to a day spa for a nice massage or something.
