Staying at the Sydney Hilton tomorrow night and check in via App is open. Amazing that it was one of the cheapest ($320) and best options (as every program is throwing around double the nights stays) It’s been 5+ years since I stayed here and trying to work out which way (street) to face and...

Interested as if given enough notice, I can organise a 2 day trip to see clients and a meal with @penegal and friends

When I found out my LDL was 4.9 and had to go on statins, I texted my brother and he said make sure you get prescribed the one where you can still eat grapefruit (as we both love it). I texted him my script (APX-Rosuvastatin 10mg) and he came back saying that's the right one to have (same as...

Stefan Drury on YouTube discusses Koala Airlines: I respect his opinion.

Tuesday was a fortnight from my last review. The surgeon’s nice nurse Alyssa wasn’t there and he was flying solo again. Could really see that she’s a main cog in the process - he just ripped off the bandage without cleaning around it with wipes. A surgeons bedside manner 😉 That being said, he...

From my experience as well, getting the pathology from the re-excision that the margins are clear is always a relief.

Always a good time of year @Buzzard. Wedding anniversary yesterday, my birthday today, Fathers Day tomorrow and mum’s birthday on Thursday 5th.

Saw this on YouTube: . Seems so easy when you have the explanation from a FI. For the pilots here, is this similar to your training for spin stalls?

I'm thinking about the Court costs plus the cost of the medical expenses given to the person you hit and think it sounds reasonable. When looking at it in an Australian context (if the roles were reversed), it would depend if he had medical insurance et al. I'll bet you ate up big at dinner at...

Having similarly caught up with the saga, I have to express my dismay at the way you were treated as a gaijin @drron and @mrs.dr.ron - that article posted about foreigners and the law was very informative. Makes me glad that on my upcoming trip to Japan in January, I’ll only be taking public...

Was there last Wednesday (RBWH) as father-in-law is in the Orthopedic ward. He had 2nd toe on L foot amputated due to bad blood flow (he’s a diabetic) on Thursday. He’d had a couple of turns lately, collapsed at home and seems it was sepsis from the toe. Should be released in a week...

Good news andye 👍. After my check-up this morning, I've been moved to fortnightly check up. Final scabs debrided today and skin is growing nicely - not enough to not have a covering - I'm sure that even my family don't want to look at it. TCA added as usual to certain parts of the wound. My...

Had my first QF booking in 18 months made by my TA, so I've been nett collecting QF points and thought I'd have a crack at upgrading (only BNE/SYD/BNE) to reduce the stash. Surprised that I got an automatic acceptance for BNE/SYD (7.10am flight so I thought no chance) and upgrade on reqeust...

Went to the surgeon for my regular weekly review (forgot to advise that last weeks' review was more of the same - debrided more dead skin and showing lovely healthy pink skin growing). This week he had no nurse (she was sick/away) and he was having to do everything himself. But mine was easy -...

That was my dad. Good to bump into you, Mr Katie and Miss Katie on the weekend. Fingers crossed for the family coming together and accepting doctors recommendations. ACAT assessments are handy, particularly when they give additional services (as was the case recently for my mum's assessment, as...

No kids, there was only one person on board and none of the pilots from the owner of the aircraft. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-12/far-north-queensland-cairns-helicopter-crash/104212296

Hard to tell whether discontent or outrage, as behind a paywall. I agree, resentment comes well after an act, outrage is at the beginning. More information coming out as to why Rex were going backwards. Not surprising. They never had the patronage for 737's, revenue and profit look like they...

Thread is being temporarily closed for Moderation discussion

Isn’t everybody entitled to their opinion, even if it mirrors others? As you are entitled to yours? The joys of having a massive country with transporting people from place to place. Often the majority of what we eat or use comes from rural areas. So getting the products to market, air cargo is...

@RichardMEL, there is a thread for everyones' POV. There are always people who agree (or disagree) with an OP's assertions. But thread drift is happening eveywhere. so hiving off an OffTopic conversation is always best. We live but to serve. @QantasGonza might be surprised with how many people...
