I've never really understood the PR stance that its somehow rude to recline. That's what the recline button is there for. Encroach on your space? Not if you choose to recline too. That's your choice if I choose to recline and you don't. How wound up some of you get about it is hilarious. Anyway I'm...

I just went back to a replacement original Nexus5 after 3 months on an LG G3

The G3 was gash and the screen resolution was actually the same.

Will probably buy the new Nexus 5 next year

True. The offshore ownership thing needs tightening.

Some banks have been stipulating as part of financing agreements that there will be a minimum occupancy rate within apartment complexes. Some developers don't need finance however, and that means they can skirt those requirements. It depends on the saturation as well - the turnover of rental in my ...

Awesome walk along the Thames yesterday from around Taplow to Marlow way, then back the other side. Stunning, with a welcome pint in The Bounty in Bourne End to finish - great pub, only open in the summer months, can only get to it over a little bridge or boat I want to live on a boat now though Th...

So unless I missed it we dont seem to have discussed Duncan Storrar and his comments. So to recap, he comes on to Q&A and asks a question about the tax cuts for the rich, and the difference these tax cuts would have had for him. He gets a poor response from the ministers on the show. Over the next ...

It's worth noting that a proper Physio will make sure you get X-Rays/MRI as well and may refer you on before starting treatment

Get a second and third opinion.

I have perineal tendonopathy in both ankles and the year waiting for it to heel was shite - and they didn't.

Agreed. But I think more stuff is becoming available, well it seems that clothing brands that wouldn't be shipped prior are now available. I have a MyUS account but I haven't had to use it in the last 12 months. It's the randomness which is funny - I can get a Gig Switch delivered but not a Cat5e c...

I use them regularly, particularly for clothes. Freight isn't a big deal when you consider the lower cost of items. As do I but it's irritating to have to use other handlers to get things that are on the black list to be shipped to Oz. Prime is not available either. Jeff is right, living in the SH ...

They keep making noises about moving into Oz - that would make NZ viable.

In one day, I drove from Cardiff to Deeside (N.Wales), to Bradford, to Hull and back to Cardiff. http://i66.tinypic.com/2hd5stu.png I was somewhat tired when I got home 600 miles and 20 hours later, but it had to be done.

200 is still very high. <50 is the magic number.

I was lucky and got diagnose at 30. The older you are, the higher the risk of Diabeetus, Liver Cancer and Heart disease

It's going to kill the parking at SFS. Fortunately the limo rank will still be operational which should make it bearable. :) Why drive in a city like Sydney?

The other factor is that Turnbull made a couple of half-hearted and abortive attempts to start national conversations about potentially interesting topics like taxation and innovation. Innovation is the big challenge, of course. Where are the new jobs going to come from? Nobody knows. Gutting TAFEs...

Thats the issue. I have no idea what that clause could be. You cant just say "dont spend too much." The problems stem from the budgets being done when the project is in its infancy and the assumption is no issues are encountered. In real life, issues are encountered and these add cost.

Good post. Much of this is due to the emergence of Green leaders like Bandt and Di Natale. Unlike Brown and Milne, these new Greens are ideological zealots. Although many Australians hold Brown in high regard, they weren't going to vote for someone who uses political office as a soap box. Bandt and...

Yes, "session" beer used to just be known as beer.

I'm talking specifically at beers with "Session" in the labelling.

A business like me knows a thing or two about clauses relating to projects. I'm wondering what kind of clause you are referring to. You see, I can then decide whether tor agree with you or not. Budget Creep of more than 50% generally means the project is not costed properly. Whether that is the fau...

Most of my favorite beers these days would be in the 6 to 8% range. I like Strong beers but anything over 5.8% is not a session beer - it's just a marketing thing now Depends how long your session is and how fast you drink them I guess. Although I agree with the sentiment and will often look for so...
