    Unfortunately you haven't misread it. Though, nice that the overwhelming weight of comments were either attacking or mocking the post.

    What cheeses me off

    Was reading a post on facepalm (posted early this morning) complaining about closure of national parks in Victoria today and how this was an unfair "climate lockdown" of Victoria. Then someone else complaining about excessive control by the government. FFS these people have no...

    Good luck! It's a frustrating challenge dealing either it is AI or UI.

    What's your Uber experience?

    Uber should be able to request the Linkt statement from the driver for that day, which will show any tolls accrued during the specific start and finish period of the ride. I am guessing though someone could falsify that too.

    What's your Uber experience?

    Even without the falsification, Uber should automatically refund everything but the two line items for the tolls. And this level of fradulent behaviour should raise red flags about the integrity of the rest of the journey. Even assuming he took the bridge, when travelling A->B->C->D->E instead...

    United to Fly to Adelaide

    What cheeses me off

    We were so lucky with the weather on NYE as we booked a Ute from Bunnings to get some new outdoor furniture and take some green and metal waste to the tip and collect some mulch. As the temperature was only about 16-17C we were spared the day trippers on the Great Ocean Road and we were able...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    This is exactly why I go for the HNML tends to be tastier than the one size fits all bland/seafood free/ovo-lacot/low carb/etc special meal. And it has Paratha, sometime Pappadums and yoghurt to go with it all. But you can also take your chances with the regular meal, unlike in J, say, the...

    Luxury escapes launched Male direct flights ex Melbourne

    On the flipside, accounting for transfers from Male to the end island destination, it probably means a mid morning arrival on the island and mid afternoon departure.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    In any event it's not an issue in economy, easily manageable by pre-ordering a special meal. Why? There's no real disadvantage to option for special meals as there is no BTC or inflight menu pre-order to choose for your main. You can opt for "non-seafood" (NSFML) option or the "hindu non...

    Card payment sucharges banned in Australia from 2026

    I'm in and out of Australia all the time, every time I come back I notice that one type of surcharging has become even more common than the past. That is .... no display of the % and no display that there is even a surcharge. It's sort of like now if you're in hospitality the default is...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Have flown ANA several times without issue, but I know where you're coming from! But the thing is .... I have been to a couple of Omakase's and for generally a non seafood eater I was surprised to enjoy it. I guess the flavours and quantities are so delicate and it is very fresh. On the...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Just a bit annoyed again (first world problem) with SQ and their seafood obsession. The Singapore-Chinese heritage and paradigm coming through strongly as always where seafood is adored. 2 trips coming up, one in J SIN-LHR return and the other in PE SIN-NYC return. 6 main meals + 2...
