    Subdivide in Adelaide?

    Very harsh comments re Port Adelaide. I've lived in many places in SA and Interstate and Port Adelaide is not as bad as many people in Adelaide would have you believe. Unfortunately Port Adelaide's bad reputation comes from it's football team and the hatred the rest of Adelaide has for it. For...

    Cooling off period

    If a buyer signs a contract on a house subject to finance, does the 2 day cooling off period mean anything if there is 2 weeks for them to sort their finance? If they change their mind after the cooling off period can't they just decline finance and the deal is off?

    Forex

    How much is each pip worth in your trades? If your only risking 2-3%, what is your stop loss / take profit generally? I've been trading on and off for 12 months, basically following signals but have started a idea that may work long term.

    Singapore trip

    We were advised that Little India was well worth the visit, so went. We started at a huge market (the name escapes) then walked over to Little India. I have never experienced a third world country or feared for my organs, until this walk. I'm not one to exagerate, but I was unbelievably...

    Singapore trip

    I found the best way to get around was taxi...they are unbelievably cheap unlike here in Australia! Little India after dark was a very scary place...not recommended. Universal Studios was the most memorable experience...best advice is to go straight to customer service and get VIP tickets...

    Infringement Notice - Bendigo

    Would you issue a fine to a little old lady for failing to give way at a give way sign? Probably not. Consider this though...Little old lady fails to give way, hits an oncoming car, who in turn loses control and hits a pedestrian standing near the road...result? Someone got a knock at the...

    Glass Splashback

    I had a guy come out and do all the measurements and quoted me for a glass splashback in the kitchen. I was happy and paid the deposit to get it installed, turn around time of about 2 weeks. However, since paying the deposit the same guy has been out to re-measure and take photographs of the...

    What is wrong with tradies??

    I am trying to get someone to do a bathroom reno (waterproofing / tiling / new shower screen / vanity, etc) but I am struggling to get tradies to come out and have a look or even return phone calls. It is a smaller bathroom in a 2 bed unit. I am thinking the job is too small and therefore no...

    Victorian Police Force as a career

    Xmas / New Year / Easter...if you want leave it's pretty easy to get the time off. I haven't worked Xmas / New Year for 3 years now. The penalty rates you get for working public holidays are very good and therefore everybody is willing to work. It's a bit of a trade off...great pay for working...

    noisy neightbours solutions please.

    Why not call the Police??? Any noise that is audible from the footpath is too loud by law and the Police will shut it down. Excessive noise is one of my most hated things and if it is stopping you or your family sleeping / etc then call Police. I know a lot of people do not deem it serious...
