WCMO is listening to Glenn Weir, Assistant Commisioner Police, nearly in tears apologizing for getting busted 'speeding' 8ks over... We got the usual spin, speed is a killer, even low level.... HOWEVER, when the cops wanted a pay rise some time back, they threatened to not book people for low...

I was mistaken - it will be mid January - Melbourne to Hamilton Island. For the swapping, I will be taking one for the team... Plan is for me to be in economy throughout the flight, the wife in business, and the kids can do a swap mid flight - my thinking is if the kids do a swap, instead of...

Hey - planning a trip with family (4) for next xmas holidays. Looking to grab business classic rewards seats - when i do search for that day, only 2 reward seats come up in business. Question is - if I grab the 2 business classic reward seats, I know that I also get access to business lounge...

I remember about 5 years ago, on a jetstar flight from gold coast to Melbourne, some pig in front of us just dropping their guts every few minutes. My young daughter sitting 2 rows behind me kept on blaming me - 'daddy, did you fart again?' in a loud voice. Pretended she wasnt mine.. Im assuming...

Speaking of Karens on the road.....What REALLY cheesed me off a few days ago was a car wanting to turn right into a very busy road. No harm in that, but when you are waiting to turn right for over 10 min, with no hope in hell because of traffic both ways, the logical thing to do is turn left...

Me also - in a way, I look at the bigger picture. When we go on interstate holiday, my kids like their jam sandwiches, so there is no point in buying whole jars of margarines, vegemite, jams, etc. they will just go to waste, as we would only be using a fraction of the contents.

I have a newbie classic reward question. Looking into flights for early January 2024, either Port Douglas or Hamilton Island. I see there are economy classic reward seats, MEL to CNS, so thats good... BUT, MEL to HTI, there are currently no economy reward seats, just business class reward seats...

Unfortunately, this was the reason given to me yesterday. 'Problem' is, I have made around $280,000 in extra repayments (havent closed off the account), and on top of my current credit card limit of $20,000, I have $300,000 line of credit. I jokingly told the person that this just proves Im a...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask.... Say for example, a family of 4 wants to do an interstate holiday. That would mean 8 seat bookings - but you only have enough QFF points for 6 classic reward seats. Maybe im blind, but I cant see a way of doing this unless I do 3 separate bookings...

Not that old!! Early 50,s. Called up Westpac before, and basically spoke to a robot.. She told me the reason I was rejected was that based on their info, I would have trouble 'servicing' my credit card. WTF Told her that I have had credit cards for 10 years plus, always paid in time, NEVER...

Glad I checked the Illion one. In the 'credit card' enquiry area, it has Red Energy listed (wtf?), and a duplicate of my Westpac application. So I have disputed these.

I looked into Equifax. Couldnt be bothered looking into the others. Im so over creating new accounts, confirming identities....

Why cant banks tell you the reason why you get rejected when applying for credit card??? I got rejected now by Westpac (first ANZ), despite me on high income, no debts, payed everything on time, own home outright... In my rejection letter, it states they use credit reporting bodies - so i...

Funny you mention that! I was at Hamilton Island recently - happened all the time. I had breakfast at 6, so by 6.30 was poolside on lounge chairs. One family actually did this twice in a row. They put there towels down on 5 lounge chairs before 7, but came back around 9.30 - by that time...

Ive seen people leave a phone, towel, drink bottle, on different work stations at the same time, because they think they are so 'special'

I should have been more specific.... When your on your phone for 5 min between sets, or youre sitting on a bench looking at your phone, and then you get up and walk away to another machine.

what cheeses me off is wankers at the gym, who just spend nearly all the time on their phones, without any regard to others who want to use machines. Not kidding, but its like 90% of gym goers have their phone with them, scrolling between sets. Feel like telling them that if they focused enough...

LOL - yeah, they cant make a profit out of me!!! How dare I not give the banks extra money from late card payments. Naughty me

What cheeses me off is ANZ Bank... Applied for 'Black' credit card. Went through all the online info requirements, giving bank statement, pay slips, etc.. Estimated my monthly expenditure on groceries, health, bills, personal, all the usual BS. When you do all this, the system tells you once...

Im counting my lucky stars that in February this year we got classic reward seats for total $400 return (family of 4) to Hamilton Island for Jan 2023. Checked before, and its jumped to $430 per person, one way.. Crazily expensive.
