    New NSW intercity fleet and XPTs - when?

    I assume that it's left the station, permanently, from what I read recently on another forum.

    Except for the first two of the original ten.

    Wordle!

    If once a day isn't enough for you, there are several similar apps that allow you to play in unlimited mode. I've tried several of them, and the one that I've settled on is called "Worde" (wekele.com). It's available for Android and iOS. I also play a series of daily games that can be found at...

    No longer receiving emails

    I switched my email address from TPG to Gmail a couple of months ago. I should've received an email triggered by the reply above, but haven't as yet. Looks to be an AFF problem then???

    No longer receiving emails

    Using TPG / iiNet / Internode for your email by any chance? Their email services have gone rapidly downhill since TPG (along with the ISP's it has acquired) decided to get out of the email providing space, offloading it to The Messaging Company instead.

    What's a forgotten item a security has found in your bag?

    Not "lost" or forgotten as such, but I'll mention it anyway.... Mrs 2905 got pulled aside at CBR for what was thought to be rope in her carry-on bag. The "rope" was just a packet of Allen's Snakes Alive (which could lead to series of jokes about snakes on a plane, but anyway). Meanwhile, the...

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    FWIW, Virgin Voyages looks to be using the Overseas Passenger Terminal, with occasional anchorage at Athol Bay if necessary. I assume that Resilient Lady won't fit under the coathanger, to reach White Bay??? (I couldn't find her height specs, other than "13 storeys".)

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    Got my Access Key at 7.01am. First attempt to book bombed out with a 404 error part way through. Second attempt worked; the 6 night one from 1 - 7 Feb, Melbourne / Sydney / Hobart. Sea Terrace on deck 12.

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    Good news: My "Your Velocity Access Key has arrived." e-mail arrived about half an hour ago. Bad news: Access key is nowhere to be seen. It literally says, "Your Access Key is . "

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    It does say to allow up to five business days, which would be this coming Thursday for those who pulled the trigger on the day the e-mail came out. Or Friday in my case, as I spent some time researching it and discussing it with my wife before pulling the trigger the following morning...

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    From section 13 of the T&C's..... So even for a transfer you'd be taking a risk, as I see it.

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    Mrs 2905 and I have never been on a cruise. I had 800K+ idle Velocity points, so after a brief discussion and a bit of research, I pulled the trigger on this offer. The last two sailing dates won't work for us, but other than that we're fairly flexible. We live in Canberra, so we're going to...

    Discussion on Cats, Moggies and Felines in general [with Pictures]

    Ah, so that's why it's called FURniture.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I've just received another useless reply from Airalo..... My question to them was..... Maybe they should be in politics. EDIT: They were pretty quick with this reply, but it still doesn't answer the question.... I give up.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I don't have one, but have you tried installing the Eskimo app? It'll soon tell you if it's supported or not.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Received a useless reply overnight. They can't find an Airalo account associated with my email address (well duh, I don't have one) so they've asked for the email address that is, or my eSIM ICCID. Failing that, a copy of my order receipt. I responded that I was asking on someone else's behalf...

    New Amex statement credits

    Convoluted alright. As an ACT resident, I can probably make it work in my favour by getting fuel at Jerrabomberra if I happen to be in that area at the time and have room in the tank for at least 36 litres (based on current prices and discounts available)..... twice. There is one ACT location...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I did another search, but still couldn't find any mention of it, so I've since used Airalo's Contact Us form to put the question to them directly. If I get an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, you could jump on the free Eskimo eSIM offer, as mentioned a couple of pages ago, which will get...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I don't know if that sort of billing is still around either, which is why I did a search re Airalo, but didn't find any mention of it. IIRC, Optus Pre-Paid Broadband used to be one of the worst, with a minimum data session of 10MB! Maybe. Try it and see what difference it makes, if any.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    What's Airalo's minimum data session? I did a bit of a search, but couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. If the minimum data session is relatively high, and you have lots of relatively small data sessions, that would explain it.
