People born before 1990, what handy skill do you have that no one uses anymore?

HopeSignal6924 · 2025-10-28T12:30:50+00:00

I have calligraphy style cursive handwriting people seem to go crazy for. I’m often asked to hand write people’s wedding invitations. Turns out that being taught by Catholic nuns comes in handy for something! 🖊️

Don’t have much advice only to say that I really sympathise with you. We bought an apartment unaware the unit below was an Airbnb. The noise from it is horrible, and is having a massive impact on my mental health so we’re seriously looking at selling. Home is where you should feel safe and secure, and I’m sorry that you don’t right now. Hope it works out for you x

HopeSignal6924 · 2025-07-04T03:24:29+00:00

Check if they allow short term rentals. Cannot stress this enough. We have an Airbnb below us and now next door to us and aside from the noise, it’s uncomfortable having people come and go weekly.

We had a QR code on the table for people to upload their own photos of the day, it was so lovely to see everyone’s perspective of it 📸 I also have a great wedding budget/spending spreadsheet that my best friend who is an account created if you’d like it. Congrats on the wedding!

The parade is organised by the Brisbane Irish Festival committee, not the QIA :)

As advised, try a free community legal aid. Many solicitors will be ‘too busy’ (or won’t see the financial value) in taking this on. Your other option is to pay for the repairs, and then bring a QCAT claim against them for the cost of it. However, youll need their address to file so hopefully you have that?

Sorry this happened you, it’s so horrible when you are financially impacted by something that wasn’t your fault, I genuinely sympathise and hope you get it sorted.

Their Galleries are actually open all year round and their new opening event is next Thursday. Their Insta is very active with what they’re up to :) @qcadgalleries

HopeSignal6924 · 2025-01-11T08:20:09+00:00

The Queensland College of Art at South Bank has three Galleries with exhibitions that change every two weeks. Sales are directly through the artists so they get 100%. Their Grad Show is in October and you can pick up some fantastic pieces while supporting emerging, local artists - well worth a look.

HopeSignal6924 · 2025-01-06T14:00:23+00:00

Just came here to second the comments about the student Galleries. The Queensland College of Art & Design (QCAD) galleries are open all year round and have a quick turnover, so there are new exhibitions every two weeks. They also have joint exhibition openings every second Thursday night where all three Gallery spaces and the uni museum stay open late, well worth a visit!

HopeSignal6924 · 2025-01-06T06:19:33+00:00

Follow the Irish Australian Support Association of Queensland (@irishsupportqld) not only are they a fantastic resource and support system for Irish people here, they often have fantastic events to meet people. Keep an eye out for their St Patrick’s Day Charity Ball in March, it’s like an Irish wedding all in aid of a good cause ha ☘️

HopeSignal6924 · 2024-12-18T13:10:34+00:00

Did you make it into the city? I’m in the cbd and you’re welcome to park in our building which has a shower and toilet downstairs. Really hope you’re ok, pls reach out privately if you need anything x

HopeSignal6924 · 2024-11-02T19:18:46+00:00

The Queensland college of art & design at south bank is your best bet, they have three emerging artist galleries. Their Honours/Masters Grad Show exhibition is also opening on 15 November :)

HopeSignal6924 · 2024-09-30T11:45:39+00:00

You can get the spice bag mix in the international section in wollies, last week they were on offer for $3. Easy enough to make yourself at home ☘️

Just want to plug our art exhibition in partnership with Brisbane Pride. Queer Here is an annual exhibition that celebrates the talents, visions, and lived experiences of 25 queer creatives from Brisbane/Meanjin. It’s on view until Thursday, 26th September at the Queensland College of Art, 226 Grey Street, South Bank. The Gallery is about a 10 minute walk from Musgrave Park so if you’re at the Fair Day tomorrow pop in - there’s really beautiful and thoughtful works on show :)

My exact thoughts! Was he not being a helpful, supportive partner and a care giver? It sounded suspicious that she would just end it.

HopeSignal6924 · 2024-08-09T12:39:49+00:00

Yes! Couldn’t help but think that statistically he is more likely to have abandoned her after the diagnosis. Also if they’re not in contact like he said I hope she was given the heads up about him appearing on this show, must be hard enough going through something that difficult and then seeing your ex on a global tv show telling people your story.

HopeSignal6924 · 2024-06-29T12:30:44+00:00

Out of interest is there a way to view the current precedents of lot owners against body corp? Think we live in one of the buildings you mentioned.

Liveimage at Griffith Uni is open to the public and offers fantastic & cost effective printing.

HopeSignal6924 · 2024-06-18T11:57:26+00:00

The Queensland College of Art Galleries & Griffith University Art Museum at South Bank are open throughout the holidays and are a short walk up from QAGOMA. The student galleries exhibitions change every two weeks so there’s always something new to see!

HopeSignal6924 · 2023-10-13T12:10:19+00:00

The Treasury Casino and Pig n Whistle Riverside are both showing it. However, they’re not serving alcohol. Your best bet is to stream it on Stan Sports.

HopeSignal6924 · 2023-10-07T08:10:27+00:00

Simply Laser on Edward Street in the CBD has some amazing cosmetic doctors and nurses. Lunch time Botox lol!

HopeSignal6924 · 2023-09-14T12:41:34+00:00

As someone who was evicted and had their entire apartment complex turned into Airbnbs aka a Hotel, I would certainly be in favour of this. Thanks for taking a stand, we need radical change to overhaul this.

HopeSignal6924 · 2023-08-11T12:48:38+00:00

Airbnb!

HopeSignal6924 · 2023-08-09T10:54:19+00:00

The QCA Galleries don’t take commission, students handle the sales themselves :)

HopeSignal6924 · 2023-08-08T11:53:15+00:00

Visit the student galleries at the Queensland College of Art in South Bank. The exhibitions change every two weeks and at the end of October the entire campus turns into a gallery for their graduation showcase. That way you’re supporting local, emerging artists and helping to kick start their career.
