    Nice. Yes their suggestions or "you have been outbid" relate to the highest bidder irrespective of the number of seats available. Bit deceptive imo.

    Scams like these

    Many sites are pushing the use of passkey. Is it really more secure than password? I mean, if someone gets into my phone (eg steal it while it's unlocked), wouldn't sites that I've setup passkey to, then be an open door?

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Frequently "need" to bring several bottles from syd to bne. Bottle= about 1.5kg so carry-on. When you buy single bottles delivered they are often very well packaged, so I keep an reuse that packaging. Just adding... would similarly attempting to transport Champagne/sparkling end up a travel mistake?

    I was on an online chat with Supercheap Auto today. At one point Aguil typed "bare with me" Now I'm not a prude but I think that's going a bit too far with the personal touch.

    General Medical issues thread

    Interesting, so I looked up 12 month survival rates for St. Vincent Sydney. Non-frail 95%, frail 74%. Send me there. Prince Charles (with their "medically suitable" restrictions so presumably non-frail) 79%. Don't send me there. I see why an administrator wouldn't want frail patients messing up...
