Where to start? Do not stand and smoke in front of a mini bus with open door where smoke goes inside. Yes this is Thailand and yes it's your right to smoke where you want but for FFS have a little common sense. It's my right sitting in mini bus not to breathe in your filthy recycled cigarette...

Can someone please help out. I have never heard of a non-refundable credit card surcharge. Cancel within specified cancellation and receive full refund. Are they allowed to have a non-refundable credit card surcharge on hotel bookings? AFCA? But they're not a financial institution. QCAT?

Each trip brings new challenges. I've had numbness (and pins and needles) in fingers of both hands for years. Heck I get pins and needles with the phone in the palm of my left hand. Right thumb and forefinger are the worst. I can't do simple things like pick up a glass with my right hand unless...

I played Claremont, November long time ago. I'm sure there were icebergs floating down the river. Boy that was freezing cold at the time and apparently it had snowed Mt Wellington at 300m.

It would appear just threaten them and they'll refund. I lost my Thai sim card on the flight into Australia last trip when I was changing sim cards. Had about 70 baht so no great loss but I can recover the number as it's registered to me. Fast forward to today. Just arrived BKK and want to buy...

Surge pricing is awful. It's not good practice. But that's besides the point. I will complain to Uber. I just wanted to gauge experiences. Being quote ~$95 and booking to find I was harged ~$109 is not a good customer experience.

SIN T2 KrisFlyer Gold lounge next 30 minutes. Can guest 1.

PER SilverKris Lounge. Can guest 1. First alcoholic drink in 173 days but I'm not counting.

I booked at 6:17am and the price shown was ~$95. Loading luggage is not wait time, and adding on a toll is not acceptable either. I did not tell driver to use M7 instead of Inner City Bypass. I wasn't asked either. Seeing $108+ st end of trip is not a good customer experience. P.S. As I...

It would appear that he charged us wait time which is not right unless he counts loading luggage as wait time and then charged for M7 toll as well. I thought Uber included tolls in quoted rate and taking 3-4 minutes to load luggage should not be an additional charge.

I don't know if this is true or not but thus is what mum told me yesterday. Dad had a heart valve replacement in 2005 with open heart surgery. Wasn't easy operation and became complicated when they opened him up twice in 24 hours as he was still bleeding. Recovery was slow. That was using pig...

My daughters obsession with Aphmau plush toys. $16 for a mystery plush toy. There are 8 to collect. You have no idea which one you'll get. So buy one today for $16 and you get the red one. Buy one for $16 tomorrow and get the red one again. Who dreams up this garbage? The selling point is that...

Travelling Christmas Day. Regular parking garage closed so took car there last night. Wasted close to 4 hours taking car there then walk, bus and bus back home. Uber this morning checking between 3:90am-5:30am and UberXL was $51 and UberMax $66. Went to book at 6:15am and no UberMax but...

I leave some space in front (not a car length) in case the idiot in front can't decide what they want to do. People who dangerously weave in and out of lmtraffic only to wait for you at the next traffic light. People who drive onto the road from side street at snail pace oblivious to anyone...

BNE lounge next hour. Can guest 1.

I've been checking airfares to Thailand in September and it's ridiculous already flying a week before Qld school holidays. SQ ex-BNE is ~$1200 return and ex-SYD ~$1100 return while ex-PER ~$725 return is the most attractive but need to get to/from PER. QF airfares beyond ridiculous. I've...

And these are the people that keep the airline flying, allows the airline to have the aircraft and maintain the schedules. There needs to be balance but attaining status on pure profit makes no sense at all. Actually may make a little sense for the accountant but that's about it. Apart from...

Something stuck in my mind from the Virgin Money fraud department telephone scam the past few weeks. Sometimes it pays to listen carefully. I had only received the card and had not yet activated and they want to discuss fraudulent transactions. I asked him for the last 4 digits of the card to...

A number of of accounts on week 3 of 4 week spend promotion received updated offer for week 3 with some additional bonus points. One of these accounts did not receive the bonus points for the additional week 2 promotion. Customer care says points may arrive in 5 days which is not the case...

So Virgin Money fraud department want to talk to me about a fraudulent transaction and want to send me an OTP. They must really think I'm stupid. Virgin Money would not send me a OTP. I told them off quite badly. Called back 3 more times in a minute and I rejected each one. This number is...
