Many of our legal and accounting colleagues are retiring so we do need to find someone about 30 or 40 years younger.

Today I used the down day to complete the investing of an inheritance for a relative.

I was surprised that an unsigned will was accepted in Western Australia. The court concluded that the intent was clear by the deceased. Still that isn’t the smartest way to do things. If you want to not provide much for an estranged relative it seems to be a good idea to detail this in your...

Yes the $AUD is vulnerable and dropped last night. It is not being helped by our current treasurer. We are still a lucky country.

I believe the current treasurer still wants to attack super fund accounts over about $3 million per member. He may say something about this tomorrow.

Brisbane is a crazy place to try a test match in December.

My mother was a straight A mathematician when she attended WA Uni. She split her estate into quarters so three sons received a quarter and seven grandchildren received one 28th. I was impressed…… I handled the estate wind up. I could never beat my mother at scrabble. I do remember the corporate...

Yes I know our WA Public Trustee charges commissions that can be pretty large.

Ok I can handle that problem in January and I can have Mrscove’s share seeing she is a teetotaler. I think we had better have the Krug at our Christmas lunch at home seeing I will miss it in January.

We had friends with the public trustee in WA for their wills. Now that would be unfortunate as they have quite a few real estate assets that would earn the public trustee a truckload of commissions for doing almost nothing. They had a family meeting and now have appropriate documents for their...

My cardiologist would weigh 60 kgs provided he is wearing boots. I come away thinking about all the naughty foods he is missing out on.

There isn’t any talk now about moving the pensionable age to 70 as we have a 2025 election.

Well @prozac price fixing is a very serious matter so your sale at $3.84 is looking good. Several executives could get jail time and the fine will be less than the reputational damage to the business. Now @Brissy1 I was lousy with Wilson’s at WAM over their WAR float. Not every new issue is a...

Today we managed to get out of Good Drinks Australia who are planning to delist at the end of the month. Have no future plans to invest with any of those directors. Today ACCC changed Downer and Ventia with price fixing so our Ventia got hit and dropped 22%. Had a call from Kate Thorley who is...

Well I thought I had seen it all when a lady dropped her apartment keys down the gap at the foot of the lift door. Now today a chap had his phone in his top pocket drop down the gap at the luggage scanner Qantas conveyor belt where there is no easy way of fishing it out. We weren’t sure if he...

Thanks for the iinet comments. We have no plan to go back there. Mrscove’s Hotmail is feeding into our BigPond’s file somehow as TELSTRA’s work around.

I was surprised to see the 737 from Perth to Adelaide now only has two rows of business class so now only 8 seats. Our chicken and rice dinner was not remarkable.

I liked the St Halletts Shiraz on our flight to Adelaide.

Yes @lovestotravel we may never know.We will check our UK and US interests over the next month as SIL is going to Los Angeles and we are going to London. We have had calls in Australia so those things got fixed.

Ok we will need to struggle on until 31/08/2025 as that is when our consulting ends.
