    What cheeses me off

    I think thats my gripe and this is not the first time. If you're going to have something on special then you need to be able to anticipate demand and ensure you have enough stock. I don't think I'll be able to purchase any of the 12 x 450mL bottles this week. To be honest I'm not interested in...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    What an awful enhancement. If they want reduced business this is the right way to go. Bring on JQ BNE-BKK direct. Who cares about lounge access.

    What I ate today - the food thread

    Marked down lamb leg in slow cooker. I cooked for around 6-7 hours. Oregano, black pepper and salt. It was too big for slow cooker so had to cut and snap in the middle. I started testing the lamb early on while pink and juicy and then fell asleep for grandpa nap in afternoon and it cooked an...

    Australian Citizenship interview

    So we managed to gather all the information required and we sent off request for Police Check to Thailand with self addressed envelope. We had 50 days to respond to immigration but forgot. Received email the other day they now want - proof of residential address (how? lucky I put lease in both...

    What cheeses me off

    I noticed that Woolworths specials this week are Pepsi Max 12 x 450mL bottles for $10 which is half price. Went to first Woolworths where we shop regularly and the whole bottom shelf about 4 feet wide is empty. Second Woolworths does not even stock them. Of FFS why is it so difficult to have...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    @Mr_Orange every week no fail it's Everyday Extra, Milkrun and now Petstock. I'm not interested in any of them, never boost these offers yet still receive these useless offers. Why don't you do a simple check if the person has ever bought anything pet related before sending offer?

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Thanks. I wasn't expecting anything recognisable. I wasn't thinking of buying based on quality. And I don't think any one in the village cares either. Just give them free alcohol and they are happy.

    Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

    I looked on Scoot Manage my Booking and went to select seat and only goes back to row 30. Confusing. This is 21/Jan/2025.

    Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

    Thanks @OATEK but the flight I am on is an A320 and goes back to row 30 but again that divider is there and does not look to be an exit row.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Has anyone purchased from Naked wines? Webjet has given me $100 voucher and mixed dozen is $212.99 discounted to $179.99 so 12 wines for $79.99 + I guess delivery. I don't drink wine but want to take some to Thailand for New Years Eve and later for Songkran and give some to mum as she loves to...

    Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

    Apologies but I've forgotten if theres a generic seat map thread. TR605/SQ8613 BKK-SIN is an A320. I'm trying to figure out if row 1 is bulkhead. Looks to be bulkhead with the exit row in the galley behind the coughpit. Costs THB760 and as I will need seatbelt extension needs not to be exit...

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    This is clearly an inside job not some random occurrence. What worries me is how easily anyone can spoof email addresses or even partially take control of phone numbers. This has nothing to do with Velocity. This is a collective effort to allow criminals easy access to our private property...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    No current offers from Woolworths or Coles. I've noticed it has slowed down. Time to have a break. I spent $258 on weekend and received 10% off from Woolworths mobile. I think that great as I spend $25/month for wife to have free calls to Thailand and this month I saved more than I paid for the...

    What cheeses me off

    For me it's not about getting out of family matters. Christmas Day can be much cheaper than other days around. I love Alpha Parking but this one stumped me. Some car hire places are also closed. Amazing. On a side note I found Renzo Airport Parking on Kingston Smith Drive with free shuttle...

    BNE Airport. Alpha closed Christmas Day (would have been $220-$240), Andrews wants $400 (no thanks) and Park&Fly $334. Might have to settle for Park&Fly even on the expensive side.

    What cheeses me off

    I don't know why I expected any different from an off airport long term parking place but they are closed Christmas Day. FFS people still travel on that day. It can't be that difficult to get someone to work on that day? Airport parking ~$100 more. Any discount codes? Look like car is staying...

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    As I've said in the past it's very easy for someone with production access to pass on bits of information to friends or 3rd party. Our company want to remove access to production data from everyone but if that happens that will make my support job very difficult. Much easier to investigate...
