Hi, being from the IT world (well, previously) you'd think I'd at least have a basic handle on standard def, high def TV's, right? Nup. One of our TV's is big, but nothing special. We currently connect to a standard def set top box. The STB seems stuffed... :( Question: If I buy another...

Hi all, Does anyone other than the Telstra/Foxtel consort offer a broadband/foxtel package? I'm after a package that bundles these two together - as opposed to paying separately. I've never been impressed with the Foxtel line-up, but living in Vic and having to watch late night replays of...

Just thought I'd post this as a reminder: I cancelled a CC and changed all DDebits to the card (BEFORE closing it) 2 months later I get a CC bill with a transaction from a DDebit merchant. I ring the card issuer. I want to reject the transaction as I had cancelled the card and given...

Sorry AB's, beat you tonight.:D :D Actually the first half was all NZ, I thought Oz would get their bottom smacked. All tied up now. Don't wanna sound 'UnAwstralian', but I fear it'll be a showdown between NZ and SA. Happy to be wrong:)

There's less expensive trauma insurance and more expensive/expansive trauma insurance. For eg. Some leading insurers and banks offer policies that cover just about everything and the pay-out figures are better. Then there's very basic trauma cover that covers limited circumstances and the...

Hi guys, via a search I found this post by SunStone May 2003: Questions: a) Subect to the said 'right' of someone else to carry out maintenance etc of an easement that is on my property - I actually 'own' the easement. That is, it is my land, but I must give access to those that hold the...

Now that I have your attention: I don't want to furnish a poll - there's enough around presently... But I'd like to get an idea of what people think on the following question: Exactly how much (rate it if you like, maybe 1-100?) do you consider that the two parties (ALP,LIB) have...

I've just read thru about a thousand (OK, a little exagerated) replies from Dale GG regarding interest deductibility. I'll let the posts speak first: Dale responded... And... And Dale responded... My question does not relate to property, but shares. - If someone has a LOAN in...

Hi all Some time ago I found a site (Aussie I think) that allowed you to select a sample property and see how different colours looked after painting. Different external elements could be specified with different colour selections. Unfortunately I didn't save it and now can't find it...

Probably belongs in Coffee Lounge, but polls not available there? I was going through some Melb data the other night and noticed (in passing) that there are quite a few suburbs where the number of two-vehicle abodes is either equal to, or exceeds those of single-vehicle families. This was not...

From The Age 24/11/05 - "Odd Spot" "The Mayor of Barlad in Romania , Adrian Solomon, has ordered his secretary to follow him around with a fire extinguisher after angry locals threatened to set him on fire after he rejected a plan for cheap housing." I think something this serious should...

I would appreciate any comments regarding the following scenario and quesions: Joe wants to form an HDT and decides that a corporate trustee might be a good idea for future structuring and asset protection. Joe runs a business from a private company at present, and wonders whether he should...

I'm interested in where people aquire their vacancy rates for a given area from. If it's agents, do you actually take them at their word? Are there other sources you feel are more reliable? Do you glean them from the reports produced by online providers or REI's in the appropriate state...

One for the Mac fans. David Bradley describes how he invented CTRL-ALT-DEL, then tries to backpedal after he inadvertently slams Bill Gates for making it famous. (short movie, requires QuickTime) http://www.milkandcookies.com/links/28888/

Mods pls move as you see appropriate... Reminder: Check your credit file every so often (I do it annually). Recently found an incorrect entry on my file, now removed. This is the second incorrect entry :eek: . They do get it wrong sometimes and I have a feeling it'll only get less accurate...

Thought this was the 'most appropriate' forum. I am soon to start study for my FSL. I'd like to pick a few of the FS Licencees brains on some issues that I'd like answered so I can get my objectives right and goals sorted. I've had a good look at the FSRA policy/guidelines (ASIC) and while...

Hiya's I assume some of you have been watching "The Bill". (PLEASE: O/S people, HINTS are fine, please don't ruin anything for us Ozzies) Re the messages (clues?) that Sam received, Watching etc. Now isn't there a song with those words? Is it "Justify my Love"? Didn't Madonna do this? I...

Hi, has anyone ever done a ROI on the bank packages such as WBC Premier Advantage and ANZ Breakfree. That being whether they are worth forking out for year after year, or a cost comparison between banks. I know it's an exercise that'd take a while (especially the comparison), and also appreciate...

Hi, just thought I'd add a thankyou to all members of the forum (yes, that's YOU) for their thoughtfulness in regards to others. I've been a member for only a short time and feel it's somewhere I'd like to stay. Thoughtfulness in regards to others? I came from another forum (no names) and...
