I think she may be channeling Amy Winehouse. Amazing voice.

I see it as 33332....

It's what I do. I'll book a cancellable booking with a price I'm happy with a few months out so I know I've got somewhere then revisit a couple of months out to see if prices have improved. They did with the Dubai booking but not with Santorini.

+ 1 for this strategy.

Have been able to score some excellent price reductions, free nights, extra inclusions over the years.

My modus operandi too.it is not only the price decreases that please me but some of the great prices you get by booking early eg a 3 bedroom suite at an Affinia hotel in NYC at Christmas for $300 a night when a month out there was an extra zero on the price.

OMG Huge price increase...

So keeping a register of companies and businesses is non-core work for ASIC. Great idea sell off the only part of ASIC that brings in money. Sounds a lot like Australian Standards selling off the standards printing business and then discovering they no longer have the income required to maintain and review standards. Absolutely Brilliant Stuff

Well, just had the first go at it.... not sure what I think of it yet, need some time to reflect!

Condolences to the families of the 2 miners killed last night at Paxton. There are members here that work in the industry.
I drive past this mine every day on my way into town. Sides of the country road crammed with cars and film crews this morning.

The first couple of classes, I felt like a bit of a doofus. But you get used to it, just give it time. It can also depend on the teacher, you need to find the right one for you.

Just once, I'd appreciate a Politician who has a better memory than me, and better than I am expected to have as a small business owner when dealing with institutions. Just once. Don't they understand that "I don't recall" (in this case, a $3,000 bottle of wine) just doesn't cut it anymore? They are all as bad as each other. We deserve ethical politicians don't we?

One does wonder how you could fail to remember a bottle of 1959 wine, I am still astounded it was supposedly bought at a bottle shop! One classy bottle shop.

Most politicians are lowlifes. Their intentions are possibly noble when they start but they are easily corrupted.

Just because everyone else does it doesn't make it acceptable.

And I don't understand how we have got back to the times where criminals rule. Legalied lawlessness.

Its times like this, I'm reminded of the following:

Times like these remind me of qui cough canibus concumbunt cough pulicibus surgent
