It is pretty obvious that QF need all ten A380s to operate six planes without cancellations. They should have a spare in the US , one in London, one in Singapore and one in Australia. They wrote the value of these old planes down way too late. QF is trashing their reputation as a reliable...

Today the Victorian Government delayed the start of this airport rail line by 4 years so it is now likely to move into the 2030s for it to be operating.

One train a day with one passenger would make a business plan easy to work out……

If the one way train ticket to the Melbourne Airport was set at around $100 the deal might not lose too much for the Victorian State Government.

Settlement for the WAF placement is next week. Because it is African based the stock trades at about half the price earnings of Australian gold producers.

It was a sophisticated investor placement thru Euroz Hartleys who we use. We have WAF shares in other accounts.

WAF did a placement at $1.37 yesterday to fast track getting to 400,000 ozs of gold production by 2026. We like WAFs prospects and you have to remember it is in Africa so that can be a risk.

Yes Mrscove loved Booktopia. We went for the WAF placement this week.

Yesterday for a couple of hours our main email account got hacked. Telstra repaired it by about 11am. Did lots of password changes.

In California the Uber Teslas don’t have a front number plate so it can be difficult to see if it is your driver.

OK @Cruiser Elite I will go QPM which is starting at 3.3 cents. They might get to keep Victorians warm next winter.

So another year has ended. Looks like we may have an interest rate increase by August. This could really hurt so many borrowers. The big four banks have continued cutting branches and staff numbers because they can. ANZ is getting Suncorp’s bank. We did sell some CBA around $119 only to see them...

The number of drivers ducking and weaving on big US freeways seems to have increased dramatically. Getting 5 cars in front of me when we are on the 405 freeway in Southern California makes little sense to me especially when we are going about 70 miles an hour. Have driven in this area for 46...

Well @prozac we have never had the displeasure of having AMP ever. QBE recovered, Steadfast and AUB are ok. We did have some IAG notes and got out without loss. AMP was our business default super at work for a while and so we saw their struggles until we changed. Booktopia is a company my...

We are not flying on QF A380s as they are not running on time. We would not be the only ones using SQ for long hauls and we stop in Los Angeles with no immediate flights once we land.

I take both Progout and Colchicine daily so I haven’t had a gout issue for more than 10 years. I take Colchicine to get rid of sharp stuff in my arteries to avoid blockages developing. Well @drron can you get some delivered?

TRR which is a royalties trust is now subject to a takeover. Took up Generation Development offer. AUB has an offer that we like. All insurance businesses have been able to get price increases so they are mostly going great. With the interest rate cuts delayed we parked some funds in bank...

Last week in Los Angeles I had a Faust cab sav from the Napa. It paired nicely with the Ruth’s Chris New York steak. I had a disappointing red at Water Grill in Santa Monica and received a $100 sorry voucher. Water Grill at Bristol opposite South Coast Plaza in California is pretty good. i keep...

I left my Resmed sleep machine, iPad and Pjs in 2 bags behind the Quicksilver drivers seat getting to our home.our driver lives 30 kms away so I drove up to get the two bags. Driving 60 kms when you are quite jet lagged was a challenge. We went LAX, NRT, SIN,to PER.

Now we have used a driver to get us to LAX and back to the Cove In Marina del Rey. Edgar our limo service driver has been really excellent so that was something that Mrscove had been wanting for a long time. His vehicle is a big black unit that can carry multiple suitcases and passengers so...
