In a single transaction or coughulatively?

Cant find a T&C link to read the fine print.





and reminded that (not that I trust the fine print on these things, pretty sure we are over insured when we travel and thats ok).

Seems like it should be coughulative then, but with all that brevity if they come back later and say no then at least you can fight it!

As long as he serves Badoit, I’m hydrated and feeling slightly frizzante.(Or is that frisky, never sure. Badoit does that to you. )

So I just walked into Optus and have a new iphone 8 Plus.

<snip>

We purchased one for the daughter at Xmas ... one of the things you do when you’re grounded in Nth Carolina, and the report card showed massive improvement. Anyway, the portrait function is super impressive.

They are also on a dedicated external drive I plug in when backing up the phone. I don’t like using the cloud so much. I prefer to feel, see and touch.

My daughters photos/videos are on external drive/thumb drive. Wife, mum, dad and brother are in those photos. The rest of the photos don't matter so much. Too much to worry about.

Friend lost his Gopro in October last year.

Yesterday a different friend shares a post, saying they found a gopro and does anyone recognise the guy in the footage. Yep, sure do. So did half of the Sydney diving community so owner quickly advised.

I just opened the pack of Bluetooth earphones. They too are rose gold. Clearly the Optus person (woman) understands me. I didn’t realise they would need charging. Seriously. Who ever thinks of such stuff. Now I have another thing to charge.

Maybe you should join me on luggage sites, looking at rose gold luggage

Well, actually I did a bit of a google there and found that site. But way too many choices. Back to paralysis again.

Ah. And even Blush sparking to match. Ok, I’ve now had to goggle how to get the most out of the 8. Portrait does look interesting.

So is the Australian Open tennis moving to the Nine television network? Apparently there will be an announcement this afternoon.

If true it would seriously impinge on their ability to afford the cricket.

From prior reports, CBS really wanted the cricket (mostly for the Big Bash) and was a front runner to take it from Nine.

So Foxtel not free to air? Isn’t big bash on 10?

Ah sorry for the confusion, Channel 10 - it's now owned by CBS and they are chasing some major sports for their programming.

Oh yeah. I’d forgotten that about channel 10 and CBS. I’d reckon 9 is locked in, it’s probably more about the $$$

A peeve of mine when shopping. Today in officeworks there are 12 people in the queue. 2 people serving. Plus a door person who says hello. Pointless? I don’t really need to be greeted at the door and if I have a query I’ll go find someone on the floor. What am I missing?
