This is correct. We were sent a rectify notice for one of our tenants operating a welding business from his (our) garage as he was in a residential area. We were liable not the tenant and it was our job to make him stop either through asking or breaching him. We had no idea he was doing it.

I have just repainted my lounge room with Antique white Pascol from Masters. Went on a treat and covered the existing yellow in 2 coats. Washes well and I have no issues with it. $45 for 10l vs $100+ for Dulux wash and wear. Even if it took an extra coat (which it didn't) it would have been...

Fishing for a price to see if someone will overpay, or finding the level of the property in the market

TC - you need to go down to little Britain - Wynnum in Brisbane. I think the local accent is East London and they even import Beef fat for the authentic british chips and north sea cod, because that is sooo much better than our local fish :rolleyes:

I don't think she is showing outward signs of stress, I think she is being a teenager. Lizzie - I am with you - Drinking and smoking from about 13 (my memory has me doing this much more than I probably did). In my day it was 2 litres of Bulmers cider shared amongst 3-4 in the local graveyard -...

To quote MTR - "I read it somewhere on the internet" And no nothing about being gay even tho' he was accused of sodomy which was punishable by death at the time. The likelihood was he was bisexual and sexually active from a young age.(source Michael White, (1999), "Leonardo da Vinci: The...

Genius artist and sculptor who had REALLY unsavoury sexual preferences and who "experimented" with corpses all in the name of art & science. He did what Rolf did and much worse, but at the time, those actions were not crimes. He did however commit plenty of acts that were crimes at the time...

I disagree with a remove the art comment. Many well respected artists have had less than savoury reputations - Da Vinci, Byron etc etc. Does this mean their artistic achievements have less value. Judge the art not the artist. I have a Rolf hanging in my lounge. Not an original sadly but a...

Lots of cases go to trial and the accused is found innocent. That's the point of the trial - to weigh up the evidence.

Haven't been yet but how is this for an awesome band. Bought tickets in Toowoomba for Wolfmother - all ages gig. Its the DS's birthday and it was his present. Had tickets for ages - big secret. Get a call on Tuesday from Ticketmaster. Ooops - we made a mistake, its an 18+ gig. As you can...

+1 With no finance clause, if the bank wont lend - you still have to buy. Can you manage this?

My Nan had one of these in her council house in the UK - Lots of fun time searching for coins in the dark because she forgot to top it up! I guess they are a bit more sophisticated these days

The $5 to medical research is funny. Money doesn't go into separate pots, each to be doled out, it goes into 1 big pot to be allocated. Case in point - 38.5 cents paid per litre of fuel as a road levy, 13c per litre actually goes to roads. Each government can change how they spend their...

I employ people so I do understand the costs of all those things, plus the benefits of loyalty when you let any employee, male or female, go and pick the kids up knowing the value they add is not measure in presenteeism but in the quality of the work done. In my global survey of 1 - I choose...

Thanks CJ. I didnt know this ( and I admit i was too lazy to google:D ). I do find the premise of the article interesting - looking at biological reasons for the lack of equality of pay for women in white collar roles, and that this hypothesis might explain some of the difference. It...
