Correct JohnK - don't worry about climate change drying the dams. Dick smith is right when he says population should be sustainable

As a woman, its about focusing your anger.

He cheats, you can **** him up in many ways. He leaves you broke and homeless, you are too busy keeping your head above water to seek revenge.

My husband is well aware of what I would do to him if he ever messed up. We were watching a show once and I was very vocal about what the wife should have done and he looked at me and said that there was part of him that was afraid.

Friend of mine cheated. His wife told him to f...off and she was going to get a lawyer. He knew a really good lawyer - those nasty bulldog types. He rang this lawyer who then advised that he was acting for his wife!!

Women can cheat too. Just saying...

Anyone else have plans to gift chocs to airline staff closer to Christmas?

We have a Dec 23rd flight (we usually fly Christmas day) and plan on hitting the Lindt outlet this weekend.

Last year we gave almost 40 boxes away, from check-in to lounge to crew. Our pilot told us in 20+yrs of flying, it was the first time he had been given a gift for Christmas/thank you.

 

[Pushka]

Yep. Have already bought several packs for Boxing Day flights. Lindt and Ferrero Rocher.

I banned my husband from Lindt about 5mths ago and hes been very good but I suspect there will be a huge falling off the wagon this weekend.

Hes determined to fit 1kgs of balls into that tiny fill up for one price box. His record is 985 grams.

Only if you want it to be, we've done it the past 3 years.

 

[Dr Ralph]

No. Emirates. EK419.

we're on QF23 on the 22nd, I don't like the arrival time of the EK flight into BKK

Me neither. But it was an award booking and that's all that was available.

I may be comforted by the EK chauffeur that collects me and takes me to my hotel though - even though that will likely be around 2:30 am Although there is a dilemma with this. I'm flying with my partner. We can have one car each. Do we take a separate car each or both go in the one car and put the luggage in the second car or squeeze into just one car...oh the situations I find myself in!

As someone whose mum worked pretty much every holiday, it's a nice little gesture to those who are missing their families so we can see ours (or escape them...)

Centrelink tax debt notice backfires

Are 2c coins still legal tender?

 

[Quickstatus]

Of the silver coins 5,10,20,50 cents. The portion of a debt these coins can be used to settle is $5 in any combined denominations
Of the copper coins they can be used to settle a debt or portion of debt up to 20 cents in any combined denomination

Yes the copper coins are still legal tender.

so the settlement of the debt of 2 cents with a 2 cent coin is valid


Refer to Currency Act 1965 (section 16)

Damaged coins are not legal tender

She considered paying with a 5 cent coin and asked for change!!.

BTW:

HSC results out today
ATAR results out tomorrow
