    Aussies have earned over 1.5 billion Qantas Points through Qantas Wine

    I'm (sort of) embaressed to say I've bought about 400-500K points a fair bit of wine. Lots of lovely bonus points!

    NBN Discussion

    ABB provided the estimate of 350m - I'm hoping they're reasonably accurate. I've checked the NBNMTM website just now and, at my house, no Pillar/Node location information is available.:( What I can say is that we moved into this house over 3 years ago and I had professional cabling installed...

    I'll happily add to the applause for ABB... been with them 12 months after a short, dreadful time with T*lstra - can't put a value on Australia based support! Sadly, we're only 350m from the cabinet and we rarely hit 35mbs downloading. Hoping govts new COAL and other projects mean we can...

    Qantas: 'one of the worst airlines in the free world'

    Firstly, I've only read Pages 1, 11 and 12 of this review, so apologies if I've covered something already dealt with. Second, I have read SFO777's TR on FT... and found it pretty OK although I don't agree with all SFO777's opinions. Having said that I agree that QF's standards have slipped in...

    My Health Record

    I opted out today. Spent over 30 years working in IT and am deeply suspicious of people claiming the system can't be hacked. Also suspicious of which Govt Depts will access this information and HOW they will use it. Deeply suspicious of how they'll decide which 3rd parties will get access in...

    BA first or QF business ?

    BA F over QF J any day of the week, especially if: QF J is on the A380 and the very tired/outdated Skybed II, and It means getting into either the Mel or Syd QF Flounge. Enormous step up from the J Lounge. I've flown BA F SYD-LHR on 777 and 747 - probably prefer the 747 over the 777 but very...
