I think that's why he said to ensure that when completing CF83 form, important to note on it that she had registered interest prior to deadline. But she'll be chuffed getting even the minimum £ into her UK bank. All to be spent when visiting the Old Dart. Still chickens... I think you started...

Ah thanks that explains some of what UK guy said

Thanks. UK guy said that she has 5 years and can top-up 19 years, although she left UK 36 years ago. A distant thought is that you can only catch-up since some date after 2000, or am I imagining that? He also said that continuing contributions for another 2 years until she's entitled to the...

Things are looking promising, mrsB received a text (after waiting 8 months) requesting she call uk. Phoned tonight and he confirmed a few details and advised that she has 5 years, is eligible for catch-up, and to complete CF83 form importantly to note on it that she had registered interest prior...

Quoting Allan from that article : " She said her fiscal strategy would focus on growth and not spending cuts to tackle Victoria’s debt" Well that's comforting 😟

All flights stopped bne I'm in the bne VA lounge atm, was thinking that it's not too crowded considering. But they've now announced that the lounge is "closed", so that's why... closed to new entrants. Fridge looks to be getting empty, hopefully more beer out the back!

Link posted above shows the "season" is only some times on some days. I found this on the internet about uber driving in Brisbane so to answer my own question, no it doesn't all go to the driver, my $2.20 charged=$1.60 for the driver. " We’re rolling out a temporary Seasonal Surcharge during...

On my receipt for a trip to bne airport today: Seasonal Surcharge $2.20 Monday 24 Nov, what's so special? Haven't seen that before, if it's all going to the driver then don't care but if uber corp is taking 27½% , then not ok. Edit...it wasn't today it was one from 6 Nov., I rarely look at...

Moreton bay rosella, a visitor on my veranda this morning. I was very surprised as although common, they are very shy...I lead a quiet life.

Using American lite, gaolable offence

Almost trapped me, was In Coles and about to buy. Fyi shopback has 10% off uber eats $100 cards atm, states that you can also load them onto the uber app, suppose probably ok to use then on uber trips rather than eats in that app, but I'm not going to risk it and being stuck with $100s of uber...

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

A line of storms going through bne, again. Pilots making a variety of decisions, some go east, some go west.

Ok, I'll try doing one then

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?

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?
