    End of an Era

    End of an era and I am grateful to Ian and Jan for providing this resource and for Sim and the mods for their tireless work on one of my favourite forums. So many nuggets of (free) info for those who would look. The only certainty in life is change. Many thanks. PS Sim- let Dazz sign up...

    Cotton-wool parenting

    I agree with the mother in this case. I did plenty of emu parade when I was a kid but I had no allergies. I pre-emptively banned all schools from having one of my kids participate due to his extreme dairy allergy. He was told to tell any teacher to ring me to discuss if it was an issue- which in...

    taking advantage of a landlord

    You gotta love it when a Tribunal punishes the landlord for not kicking these people out earlier! Almost Monty Pythonesque.

    Brisbane bargain GET IT NOW

    Thanks for this thread. I'm acting for someone also selling in the neighbourhood. Valuation we got was not much higher yet our property si a better house and lot/position.

    Starting a New Small Business Any Tips?

    I Must have missed this thread. My advice in the 1st instance is to get a public service job and build a negative gearing empire in property or shares on your employer's time. This GFC is murder and it won't be easy. I started my law practice from zip so here's a few ideas: 1. Cashflow, of...

    Smelly housemate

    He may have a medical condition if he showers 2x a day but still causes olfactory distress. Could be discrimination. Go him on the theft bit.

    Breaking into commercial property

    Want to break in? Here's one way. Start a fake $2 company- false names etc. Have 3 months cash rental upfront- agent won't look too closely at things. Rent your Industrial shed for storage purposes. Pay rent promptly whilst you use the premises to store old tyres so as to avoid paying tip...

    Apparently I'm considered "Rich" or "Loaded"...

    This sort of sums it up for me. Your wealth, real perceived or otherwise is irrelevant to the equation. The Germans have a saying that translates roughly to : Whoever has the gold doesn't talk about it- but I think it is also applicable to your contractors too. I don't see why people should...
