    A bit of humour

    Well lets be generous and say it's satire then. :)

    A bit of humour

    I don't know if that is real or not. I mean clearly its pomposity and willful blindness is amusing, but I'm not convinced the writer meant this to be amusing. The first half is Cottesloe barbie, and then it gets all serious. Maybe I need to read more of the FT.

    Pay day?

    All my poolers got their 10 SC, (kids x 2 and wife; all red) and I got mine. Happily tipped me into SG

    That's a bit harsh. ;)

    Flying the Flag - Which Country is the Most Patriotic?

    That all depends on what you mean by patriotic. If its just flying the flag and appropriate coloured bunting then I would say that my old stomping ground would be up there. I'm not sure that you would get agreement from the different flag (or fleg, as we call it) flyers as to whether they're...

    The view from my "office"

    It was more the view of the steering wheel and long red bonnet that I was referring to.

    Cashrewards should be renamed Norewards

    Any response to that email. Interestingly none of my transactions at Dan Murphy tracked in Sept or Oct. A few claims, using their forms, and they have all been credited now. Maybe there is a growing issue with them crediting.

    Cashrewards should be renamed Norewards

    I've used cashrewards for a few years and I've found them to be fairly good. I was mainly using them for Dan Murphys which was pretty straightforward though. I did have an issue with Vodafone a few year ago. I should have had $120 credited to the account but it never showed up. A few months...

    How do you know if you're a dual citizen or not?

    Well, I know she's Germanic by descent from the Hapsberg (spelling) line. Apparently she also doesn't have a passport.

    How do you know if you're a dual citizen or not?

    I think its closer to a big party small party thing. So far all of the people who have been caught up in this are from neither the ALP or the Liberal Party. PHON, the Austalian Greens and the Nationals are the parties that have been discovered. Suggesting that the ALP and Libs either have...

    How do you know if you're a dual citizen or not?

    If only that were true. :) I understand and completely agree with your point, perhaps this is worth a broader discussion on polly loyalty and where pressure is applied to them through a brown evelope, seat on the board, etc.

    How do you know if you're a dual citizen or not?

    Interestingly this is not a thing in WA, in fact they are quite clear about it https://www.elections.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/content/documents/Eligibility_Guide.pdf "Note: Holders of dual citizenship are not disqualified if they are otherwise qualified." So I could sit in the WA...

    Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and UAE cut diplomatic ties with Qatar.

    Sure thing. Happy to converse on PM too, if you'd prefer? I'll give you a hollar the next time I'm in the beautiful capital.

    Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and UAE cut diplomatic ties with Qatar.

    Well thats how it has been played out in the press. 'Everyone' thinks its all about religion, but those of us who live, have lived or feel any kind of fondness for the place knows its about more than that. From your posts, I am reading that you have some experience and thoughts on this...
