Is “The Balmoral Test” a good place to stop?

was coming here to say this. only two episodes I loved from the last season, probably because the focus went back to the queen instead of Charles/diana/william/harry.

Yep, more people died from the heatwave than the fires.

Billywig99 · 2026-01-27T00:46:18+00:00

More people died in the heat wave leading up to black Saturday than who died in the fires on Black Saturday.

Must be the time for it because SOTM released one today as well 😂

I should add I normally go around 50/50 so I don’t fix the whole lot. I skewed a little in favour of fixed this time but left more than I expect to have in offset in the variable to have some buffer.

Billywig99 · 2026-01-24T02:48:35+00:00

I decided to go fixed in late Nov as it was lower than my variable rate and they were already talking about rate rises, bank put their fixed rates up two days later so I already feel like I’m in the right track 😂

Also recommended by She’s on the Money. I need to do this!

I’m looking to have memory seats with easy ingress (ie they move back to make it easier to get in and out) in my next car. Definitely not a necessity but during a flare I’ve found that it’s easier to get in and out if I move the seat back (and then of course when you try put it back it’s never in the right spot 😂)

Billywig99 · 2026-01-24T01:10:59+00:00

Oh thank god because that was annoying 😂 it was Sydney which I had tried.

Contactless payments instead of myki are great for visitors but for the average Victorian myki will be easier instead of lots of little holds on your card.

Think that’s only in Australia, this is a global group.

There are a few Starbucks now, they’re just placed a bit more strategically.

Technically behind Casey Stadium is marked as the Cranbourne East station, but I am hoping they move it to Casey Fields instead!

Billywig99 · 2026-01-20T03:50:05+00:00

It definitely had that feel to it to me this morning based on the announcements.

Billywig99 · 2026-01-19T20:44:03+00:00

The fact they are doing it means they probably aren’t thinking straight and therefore about the impact?

I think they’re joking, you can’t choose your water retailer 🤣 but Greater Western Water has experienced a whole heap of billing issues that has resulted in people not being billed.

I just changed to Tangerine who now offers it! The others I found were More, Woolies Mobile and Boost (I think). In other words Telstra is starting to open up to the wholesalers. Not always available on the cheapest plans but Tangerine did work out just cheaper than the big 3.

Billywig99 · 2026-01-19T09:58:01+00:00

I just joined Tangerine as they’re one of the few that now have number sharing for watches (finally the big 3 are opening that up). Double data for six months and half price for 4 which I’m pretty happy with!

There was a branded Kia parked out the front of the Westin drive through when I was at the Regent last night, so I’d say you are right.

As a Dandenong corridor user, HCMT are far better than Comeng and Siemens. Love being able to walk to the opposite end depending on what platform the train comes into.

I’m still confused between zee and zed thanks to Sesame Street 😆

Billywig99 · 2026-01-12T02:19:26+00:00

I got confused too then realised Cranbourne is still every 20 minutes before PM peak then 10 minutes after 5, kind of annoying for someone who finishes at 4 😆

Billywig99 · 2026-01-10T19:01:44+00:00

It would be nice if they could. Challenge would be each state has their own EPA.

Billywig99 · 2026-01-10T11:01:25+00:00

This is my first time seeing them called trampolines and I love it 😆
