Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone road in the BeActive Tour Down Under Ride yesterday. And especially if anyone came from interstate/overseas to ride. The BeActive ride is run each year as part of the TDU here in Adelaide. It is open to anyone with a bike and we ride the same route as the...

Good Evening All, I had a fantastic laugh at the disclaimer that accompanied Alan Kohler's article in the SMH this am. He summed up my sentiments perfectly. Hope you all have a chuckle. Alan Kohler's SMH article 1/7 Cheers, Richard.

Hehe Methinks you misunderstand me :) I have used brokers in the past and will again in the future. I just like to be prepared that's all, so I don't waste their time and mine. I was merely seeking to fill a gap in my knowledge. That's all. Cheers, Richard

Thanks Kristine, Rolf and Geoff I kind of thought it would be variable but didn't quite think it would be 0-100! Kristine, It was just a general question because I am about to sit down and work out what my next few steps should be. I understand that if I add more debt to my current level...

Good Evening All, Just a quick question. As a rule of thumb I know banks accept 30% of your wage and 80% of rental income when determining your ability to repay a loan. If you receive dividend income how much of this do they take into account? Is it 100% or lesser percentage to allow for...

I think Alan's idea is close to the mark and that a course "training the trainers" would be a great. My kids are both in the under 6 bracket so I would love to hear ideas on how I could provide them with a better education than the one I received just my 2c Cheers, Richard

G'Day Johno, Please don't go to too much trouble! Though anything you turn up will be read with a great deal of interest :D Cheers, Richard.

Hey great Johno I would be most appreciative. I think Geoff lyrics are the same as the one I have. The version I am using was performed by Echobeatz MAS QUE NADA Oariá raiô Obá Obá Obá (bis) Mas que nada Sai da minha frente Eu quero passar Pois o samba está animado O que...

A belated thanks Acey, Pete and Geoff I have come across the babel fish site before but the translation is too literal for me. I have since found out that the song has been used in the past to promote the Brazilian football team. I think the lyrics loosely revolve around improving the samba...

Howdy All, I was just wondering if anyone here spoke portugese. The reason I ask is I have come across a song "Mas Que Nada", which originated in Brazil. I believe the title translates literally to "But that nothing". I think it must mean a bit more than that. It is a song used in a class I...

I have used the ATO's site to do my return and my wife used it for hers too. I kind of figured no one else was likely to know my assessment number. I have used the package for the last 3 years and I think it has become easier to use with each passing year. I too got my refund in 4 days...

G'Day Bubbleroo A couple of months ago I took out a loan in my name where our hybrid trust with company trustee owned the property. We established this kind of loan with ANZ and had no problems at all - well none that related to the trust and company :D As Dale mentioned I think the trick...

I watched the game and being a Crows fan barracked for Brisbane of course :D All things considered I thought Brisbane were awesome - especially in the first half when the game had to be won. To have so many players already carrying injuries to just lay their life on the line as they did was...

G'Day Kristine, As alluded to above flexibility is most important for me and all going well speed. We have used 3 brokers for different things in the past. One came to our home. One came to the apartment we were staying in whilst away and the last time the broker came to the caravan park we...

Exactly what I was going to say Bundy! Actually I was wondering if port have unwittingly been part of a huge con. Is it possible that the other teams in the top 8 played port into top position and pre-finals premiership favouritism confident that port would again collapse in the finals and...
