So today i went to the website to activate sms notification. Lo and behold, they immediately told me that I have been randomly selected for JD in a months time :( They said the case would be expected to go for 2 months! I have already booked and paid 3 nights away on a driving trip for BiL's...

Yeah, I may be in luck with a corruption case (and not the blood and gut one). I can deal with that ... Glad that you and Mrs cove have become 'wanderlusters' again. You both deserve great long travels - river cruises and Paris Olympics :) , after the stresses of selling the business last year.

Thanks, AustraliaPoochie. But, I have retired moons ago :)

Thanks, AustraliaPoochie. I don't cope with 'blood and gut' at all. My blood pressures always shot up when I was admitted to the hospital for ops - nurses always asked why? My GP always have had to take my blood pressures 3 times when I was in his office. When I had blood taken for tests, I...

If I was a juror for that case, I would be too traumatised.

Oh dear, the letter from the NSW office of the Sheriff arrived this week that I have been included on the jury roll for Sydney, run for one year till March 2025 :( I have read all the posts in this thread to see if I would be able to claim any exemption, and it did not appear there was any for...

Thank you all for your helpful replies. I have learned a few things here about cruise booking :) I will contact a TA whose website showed a few available balcony cabins for booking. I have a further question, to minimise seasickness, is a cabin in the first quarter of the ship 7026 better...

We will be in Europe later this year, and have been looking at a particular Azamara cruise between Turkey and Greece. There are only 3 cabin decks 6, 7 and 8. After much research, we decided on a balcony (veranda) cabin on deck 7 - to minimise my seasickness. I am claustrophobic, so there has...

We had a $50 hotel voucher from QF, so we used it to book a one night stay at Pullman Brisbane Airport. However, the confirmation from QF said this about the room details "SUPERIOR ROOM, 1 King Size Bed. 31 SQM- 334 SQF Room, LCD TV with Cable, Work Desk, Shower, Steam Iron, Ironing Board...

With your wife 110% :)

Sorry hubby said it was CX (not SQ - my mistake) and a 777 - 3 4 3 in dreadful pleb.

"I’ll happily fly on a Boeing 777 with 9-abreast seating in Economy, such as on Singapore Airlines or Turkish Airlines. But I would think twice before booking a long-haul flight on a 777 with 10-abreast seating." Indeed, a few years ago hubby had to return to Australia at short notice to see his...

Many thanks all for the replies. On the one hand since I will most likely to have only carry on bag, I may take the risks. However, if one thing goes wrong, then a few things will go haywire after that. So, on a balance of probability, I am thinking maybe stay overnight and feel less...

I have booked a QR flight arriving BNE at 5:30pm (from DOH) and a QF flight leaving BNE at 7:30pm (last flight for SYD). Booked flights on points with 2 separate airlines (QR and BA) so the 2 bookings are not connected. I understand I have to go through immigration and customs at BNE on...

Trying to get J or F from SYD to LAX has been mission impossible, so hubby has decided to trump up the dosh $$$$$ in J with ANA :( Note for Mrs cove: Just managed to book award seats for 2 of us: F from SYD to DOH and J from DOH to LHR in September on QR. But not able to get return seats to...

😠

Agree. AA miles on Qatar in first to Doha then London.

The hotels we stayed were considered to be standard (2* to 3*) but two were very good. We could have paid more for the 4* but friends said no need. It was quite safe to walk around Uzbek cities. The only unsightly distraction at many sights was the many stalls selling souvenirs and things...

Yes, we did it consider it to be a privilege to go to an Uzbek wedding :) - thanks to A and D. The traditional dancing and singing performances were absolutely amazing. The food was delicious (no not the horse meat). We spoke to the groom's grandmother, mother, his 2 sisters - all speak...
