15 postings in under a day, my best ever replies! I feel as though my original thought processes were misinterpreted. Everyone seems to be posting that money gives greater options in life, which I certainly agree with. I was throwing the question in general to all australians, not just the...

Unfortunately, many people, both men and women seem to be caught up in the consumerism of life, and certainly were absent from their year 10 economics class in which the difference between a need (basic food, shelter, respect, love) and a want (97 foot boat, a McMansion on the waters edge, and a...

Had a patient poke his tongue out at me the other day (I am a dentist, but please don't hold that against me). The back of his tongue was white, with hairs on it, and every single tooth was rotten. Ironically, when they need to be extracted (after they give him excrutiating pain), the sockets...

Any further news on your situation? Did you find out about what legal documents you have signed regarding joint and several legal liability? And what of the devil of x collateralisation that I presumed? Have you informed the lender, or done any caveats? My understanding (and i am not a...

It would appear as though your mother may own 1/5th of the block. So, why not just buy the other 4 brothers out at a fair price, and do it with your mother, or do a jv with her? Dealing with a number of uncles over a development? I'd pass on that one!

Wrappacks 2c worth. If you take your car to a carwash, and have it detailed, then refuse to pay, then that is deceitful and dishonest. But, if somebody has washed your car, without your knowledge and consent, then that is bloody stupid of themm and you should not be required, nor feel...

Clauses made simple, by Robert Balanda. About eighty bucks worth, the ad for it is in the back of api mag. Have bought it but not used it properly yet, but it seems to have, in my humble opinion, clauses for 'absobloodylutelyeverythingandthensome'

Welcome infinity! Hope you have a great time. Has anyone else realised that infinity has exactly one posting? (Yes, I still retain my nerdish behaviour and fondness for numbers!)

Saw this interesting thread, and thought I would reply. Then, I thought, no, I will try to think what posters will say. Now, this is an investment forum, and most (if not all) are experienced real estate investers. I thought that most would be highly critical of the original posting, and his...

I think that Bush and Little Johhny will get elected, and Pauline Hanson will Get elected to the senate as often as she likes, until she decides to retire. Ps this is not who I necessarily want to win, but whom I think will.

AL, wouldn't the units be strata titled, like a flat/hotel suite/townhouse, etc? Wouldn't that avoid the ugly words 'jointly and severally legally liable', and all that that entails? Hope Mrs AL goes easy on you. Just remember, sometimes in life you can put a huge amount of time, effort...

Bloody brilliant post, Peter

Congratulations are in order to you, acey. A perfect sentence, well spelt and well punctuated. Your thank you ham is in the mail. Plainsong, I do offer my sincerest and heartfelt thanks for taking the time, care, effort, and feeling, in caitalising the letter M. You are truly a great...

Okay, here is a massively big humungous point. Any retaining wall of any reasonable size will ultimately fail, unless it has proper drainage (ie agpipe in rocks) that drains away from the wall. A 1m high wall will stand, and the rocks/sleepers/etc, will hold in the dirt, but when it rains...

i agree the only think i dislike more than bad spelling is bad punctuation i also dont like it if people cant be bothered with punctuation grammer apostrophies commas and full stops dont these people realise that is is hard to read their ramblings it is almost as annoying as the shouters whos...

I do make any apologies for anyone who took any of my posts to be of a nasty tone. This was not my intention in any way. I always strive to seek information and clarification based on logic, reason, and accountability, and I felt that certain aspects were brushed over in the discussion...

Thommo, yep, the trade of was the cutting of certain taxes. But, funnily enough, when ever a tax is going to be cut, it is always incrementally, and in the future. The new tax doesnt sound as bad, and then we forget all about the insignificant tax in the future that was meant to be abolished...

An analysis of the analysis. 1) I do not believe any builder will do anything for cost, in a booming market, unless his quoted price, his cost price will allow him to pay for his costs of running his business, his time and effort, and a profit margin. To suggest he cut 40k off his margin...

Random thoughts. Forget about cheap oil in the medium to long term. Short term it may dip, but medium to long term, it must rise. Why? dwindling (easy to get to) resources, new resources (further offshore, smaller, less profitable deposits) will be more expensive to mine. But the real answer...
