Mate of mine was broken into recently and had two cars stolen (Coorparoo in BNE). Tracked the cars using air tags. Police confirmed the cars were used in three more break-ins that day. Then tracked to where the cars were dumped. Imma get some.

At our stay at Treasure Island in Las Vegas last year, it was clear in our Expedia booking that a ($50?) resort fee applies. At check-in there was an old dude in front of us who argued successfully, in English as a second language, for ages that he won't be using any of the facilities so...

Getting a crane onto the tarmac suggests the airport is driving it. They probably wouldn't care enough to allow that otherwise.

I'm interested. Now that my QR status via VA status match is not OWE, any trans-tasman trip can be VA earners both ways, not just on the way back. Provided they sort out lounges/benefits.

I do find the whole influencer/content creator phenomena interesting, even though I'm not a consumer, so it's good to know how some of it works from a player. Re Noel Phillips, hate is way too strong a word. Just not interesting to me, but clearly others think otherwise. I do find the...

It already has kicked in. My Land tax bill for my IP in Rosanna Vic has pretty much doubled. SRO reckons the CIV is up 60% since 2020, including a 18% drop this year, which of course bumps me up the sliding tax scale to their benefit. The notice this year says it's increased due to the "COVID...

The Delicious offer is not on Mrs Happy Dude's Velocity Plat but on my Explorer (not supps though). There's a few other offers that might interest some too: Railbookers (luxury trains): $3,000/$500 Silversea: $2,000/$300 Gennari Group (Restaurants and bars at Main Beach/Broadbeach on the...

How bad is the economy though? Unemployment is still very low, salaries now rising, house prices are sky high everywhere and the ASX is at an all-time high. Only thing that appears in crisis is rental housing and that's because of massive immigration. Anytime the news has a story about the...

My mortgage broker said in his monthly email that it's only those with housing issues that are feeling "the economy". The rest, a much larger chunk of the population, are "blissfully employed and going about life". There's been some good buying recently so long may that continue in these tough...

Interesting observations dude, thanks. And welcome. At the risk of taking this even further off topic, can the views be 'gamed' in any way? I'm thinking that maybe bots can be run to continually "view" a post? I ask because more than a million different people watching something like Noel...

I tend to agree somewhat. I find it unbelievable that money can be made posting "content" that no-one asked for or generally even needs, even for the most mundane of activities.

I partook in the Mydeal offer a couple of weeks ago. Tried a bottle on the weekend and found it quite ok. Aired the hell out of it and enjoyed it with a treat from the wood-fired pizza oven. $12/bt decent value shiraz.

Off topic but I'm somewhat curios to know what sort of income this type of "content creation" generates? I see he has about 2200 subscribers with each video commonly getting 300 or so views, or even up to about 1,000. That can't translate to much money?

Dog fights are advertised publicly on large bilboards though.

Got a nice surprise at the BNE Plaza Premium Lounge recently. Due to the stingy one-guest (incl children) policy for VA SG/WP on SQ, I found myself at this lounge as a Citi PP member (2 x free lounge visits per year) debating with the wife how to split up our family for lounge access. She'd...

SQ lost my bag between SIN-KUL but recovered it late the same day so I was able to play Royal Selangor GC the next morning. Probably the hottest I've ever been on a golf course. Average course with pretty coughpy greens, but a nice club environment. Played at a resort just outside KUL called...

How much for the Ralph Fiennes experience?

Even if it's with information that's already widely published here and elsewhere? You're overestimating the attractiveness of this promo.

My "Back to Business" bonus SCs have posted for mid March flights, also with an activity date of 29 March 2024.

They were the first to chart with it (rap) but not the inventors.
