The totally off-topic thread

I'm moving house sometime in the next week. Am I right to assume that I have to tell Medicare and the ATO my new address?

Only when you claim.

Good outcome, just budget for the power bills.

I wouldn't overdo the air-conditioning.

Which reminds me I haven't seen a power bill in a while. Must be quarterly but the first bill threw me off.

My power consumption in MEL has increased by $12/day since Tuesday.

I think that's a good outcome JohnK. Might as well be comfortable now and not always think about the next move.

Just ensure that the A/C the owner is installing isn't an old inefficient unit which is noisy and uses way too much power.

As the owner can claim depreciation on a new one and it makes the property more attractive as a rental proposition a new unit is a better choice for you both.

A friend installed a used unit which was very old and was not up to scratch both cooling and power wise and had to be replaced at more expense.

Hmmm. A good outcome but I found a thermometer in the fridge when I got back to apartment today. :shock:

Trades person must have come out this morning and realised the fridge is cactus which is why I am getting a new fridge. And he must have also realised the apartment is overheating so must have thought about an old airconditioning unit lying around and an extra $10/week. I dont appreciate the bathroom window left open even though I am on 2nd floor.

 

[Pushka]

Well yes, I am assuming the air conditioner is suitable and effective.

I picked the right time to spend the arvo by the pool, it's obviously middle age balding fat men hour, so I fit right in, however I won't be doing my best to look like Buddha by taking my shirt off unlike the others, someone might want to rub my tummy for good luck :mrgreen:

 

[JohnK]

Nothing wrong with middle age balding fat men. As long as they keep their shirt on!

I'm not balding and I keep my shirt on.

 

[JohnK]

I'm not balding and I keep my shirt on.

No but I am. And I keep my shirt on!

Well it's starting to cool down in MEL now. Approx 30 down from +40.

Let's hope it does a Coles and goes down down.

I am loving all the updates on the weather in Oz as I throw another log on the fire in Whistler

Someone has finally noticed the half priced mojitos promo on the blackboard has an issue:

"Half priced mojitos every Tuesday, enjoy Friday" , what day is it?

You eat them Tuesday, vomit Wednesday, have diarrhea on Thursday and then you get well and can enjoy Friday.

It's still 42 in Adelaide. Enough already.

 

[blackcat20]

Cool change is crossing melbourne. Went from 42 to low 30s and it's much nicer outside now. Just need to get the house cooled down.

I had the pleasure of experiencing both ADL and MEL 42 & 43 degrees today

All windows are open and it's starting get tolerable.

Same. I opened them before the change reached here, so I knew when it arrived. Sitting outside at the moment, I can feel the heat coming out the front door...
