Can't vouch for it's accuracy (edit, I mean the web site) but nice satellite picture https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=-35.38,160.42,5.47z

Latest from BOM, cyclone Alfred is forecast to cross the coast Thursday night, Brisbane northern suburbs. Thought I should get back to Brisbane, booked a flight just now, gee syd-bne flights are cheap for last minute! No-one wants to go to Brisbane! Funny that.

Tariffs? What are ...oh yes I remember now, my parents had to buy my transistor radio in Singapore, too dear in Australia. As tariff reductions have enabled growth without inflation, will tariff increases risk recession with inflation? And how do you then control inflation if you're already in...

Cats and their love for boxes! I collect a new one about weekly from the supermarket which they always try out, but I can't throw away Otis's old favourite. Like old jeans, love 'em but they no longer fit!

Had similar experience, usually happens when car in front has almost but not completely completed its turn. So that car appears to be almost stopped wrt its apparent speed in the same direction as you, which is not its actual speed. I suspect software not developed enough, and also to know that...

That's very bad luck, a seal replacement after only 24k km. Obviously a manufacturing fault that took 4 years to deteriorated to the point of leaking; usually lasts the life of a car. Mercedes have had recalls. I also have a B out of warranty, 50k km, only issue is wheel sensor gone a few...

I disagree, if goods/services are on sale but the points/method of purchasing those is not, then it is deceptive to claim that the points/method of purchasing is on sale. Adding... but I wouldn't go to court about it, I'm just the man on the Bondi tram ordinary person

From the ACCC site .. Ways that a displayed price can be misleading Promoting a price as being a sale or special price, when it is actually the normal price.

Did Tansy rewrite the original "This journalist was pleasantly surprised to find..." ? Edit: I've just got round to reading the Weekend Australian where Tansy is the supposed writer. The Australian website bio of her states that she " has previously...worked in strategy at Qantas."

I'll be sorry to cnl this card, I get some value but not $499pa value. I phoned HSBC cards to confirm last day to cancel before $499 fee is due, was surprised... My 1st statement last year was 10April -8May, was told that the $499 annual fee will be charged on 8 May 2025. To be sure, I...

Not your father's fault imo. I'm trying to check my auto renewal settings, this is a screenshot from their help page, but when I click on "profile" an almost identical page is displayed but without a "manage your payment plan". All I can do is ensure no credit card is linked.

+ Flight Aware "where is my plane now" after you search your flight number.

I bought in the float but sold, fortuitously, about a decade ago only because it was a very small holding. But "Infrastructure" is usually a good, stable, dividend provider. Might be a good entrance price for a superannuation stock.

Oh I got that wrong, well done, nothing of course you could do about it!

A please "give up your seat for an older man you pretty young thing" didn't work?

WOW/COL/WES up today presumably expecting interest rate cut tomorrow, but banks down. I wonder why, I would have thought that they would likewise be beneficiaries.

This really is a "prisoner's dilemma" game isn't it. If everyone bid the minimum, the same total number of people will be successful, but at a lower price. Fascinating.

Maybe a generalisation by them, as I've had wbc black approved twice since retiring, latest a few months ago. But I do have income. So I don't think employment status, or lack thereof, is very relevant. I also believe that the source of income is factored, eg (and I'm just making up the %...

Mrs. B says that I have selective hearing. Apparently 🤷

I think he was pilloried for doing that, but made a lot of money nevertheless. State Library NSW has a (complete!) 1st edition and later editions too, were on display last year. More recently many old books were lost, broken up just to sell off the hand coloured plates. Coincidently just this...
