Very enjoyable so far. But that Air India livery looks so odd/ different compared to what I am used to seeing over the decades.

No toll roads in WA so I don't need to contact a Toll company.. I was just wondering what the real version looked like. So many people seem to be getting scam ones on here.

Not ever having used a Toll Road in Australia what do the 'Real' toll e-mails look like?

I haven't stayed in that area but visited many times. However we will be staying in the area in May. While Grab to Chinatown would be fine the Novotel is only a 1- 200 metres from the Farrer Park MRT (North East Line) and Chinatown is only four stops away on the North East Line. Personally I...

Same in the print Perth Sunday Times.

I did it in Canada - on the pillow. And, like others, will leave loose change behind on the final day in the country.

I can remember getting estimates from the CSS on-line calculator in the late 1990's/early 2000's that underestimated my final figures in 2009 by close to 50%. Those years of double digits returns made my retirement pension and lump sum much healthier

That is true but the changes, which I think happened sometime in the 1990's, had been widely advertised. I thought most members would have been aware that while they offered the chance of better returns they also opened up the possibility of negative outcomes.

I am one of the, self acknowledged, very fortunate people who were able to make very good use of the 54/11 option. Fifteen very happy years so far. Most of the people of my age group cohort in Customs changed our Super options to the basic 'cash' rate very early on in 2007. We were a large group...

My one Compass flight - Perth to Brisbane direct on an A300 was very nice.

This is only going to be a short trip so I wont be doing too much reporting.

We have stayed at the Village Hotel in Katong several times previously - not since 2018 though. It was always good and with plenty of Nonya food and Chicken Rice restaurants nearby. I am a 'member' of Far East but there was a special on Agoda which was much cheaper. The bus stop is very...

After reading the reviews on here, and similar or even less complimentary ones ones on other sites, I have cancelled my stay here. Instead we will be staying at the Village Hotel in Katong. Slightly cheaper and rooms nearly twice as big plus much closer to Changi. We are only in Singapore for...

All very interesting. We will be on them in J from Singapore to Taipei in 6 weeks time.

Once again lots of lovely photos. Thanks.

German Stations have the 'No Smoking' signs at the station entrance but on the platforms there is often a 'box' painted on the ground saying smoking is allowed inside the 'box'. The paint apparently stops the smoke spreading.

Lunch at the Norfolk Hotel in Fremantle today. We had the "Smoker + BBQ Board" and the "All the sides" to share. There were five of us and my son asked how big the 'board' was and was told it was for two people. So he ordered a pizza as well. This was definitely too much food as there was a ton...

In Salzburg HBF the T Shirts were €24.99.

Positively balmy for Salzburg.

The Concordski (Tu-144). It flew before the Concorde - though not very well - and eventually entered passenger service later than the Concorde. It was in passenger service for 6 months - "a fatal crash during a test flight in May 1978 prompted the airline to pulled the Tu-144 from service for...
