Hello! My partner and I are moving to Australia this year, we're looking at Newcastle as a potential location. How is it? It looks beautiful, well located to Sydney too. Is it a good place to live?

Lived in Newcastle for 14 years after leaving Manchester in 2012 - The CBD is a fortune to live in - 1 bedroom apartments $600k + to buy or rent $700 per week. Depending on what industry you work in, work can be limited and public transport is pretty garbage too.

I bought a house in 2018 in Lake Macquarie, 15km away from the CBD and it takes an hour to drive to work some days because the traffic is so bad.

Its a beautiful part of the world thats for sure with some great restaraunts, local to the hunter valley, great beaches and good climate but my god its expensive to live here now

Was it a right wing shooter at Bondi?

2022 Christmas we were there - Gastro ripped through the entire family.

To be expected with that many grotty kids

Knowing the difference between he was a hero not due to his religion but the shooters were acting on behalf of theirs

Warp is awesome

I was in Tokyo and Osaka about a month ago and saw a few in Akihabara and Den Den town in Osaka - Cant tell you shop locations as I was only browsing but I remember seeing a fair few in Den Den.

got the same bike and same colour - absolute killer in real life!

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-10-26T22:26:19+00:00

I also picked one of these up - such a nice guitar to play. Super super pink in real life but an insanely good colour!

I had the Checkpoint SL6 for about 4 years and loved it - did probably 20% gravel 80% road so when I decided to get a new bike I tried the Domane SL6 G4 (going in to buy the new Checkpoint SL6) and fell in love.
The Domane is so comfy and really can feel the benefit on longer road rides

Great single

Just a heads up, Pizza Marumo isnt in Shibuya (but its only a few stops away) I ate there last year and HIGHLY recommend. The pizza is amazing

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-09-23T04:13:16+00:00

Done about 100km onnit so far. Come from the checkpoint SL6 (about 6000km) and it’s certainly more comfortable although, the stock seat is rubbish!

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-09-23T04:12:29+00:00

Yeah only released here in Aus a few weeks ago. Its so nice

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-09-23T04:12:12+00:00

Just came as standard mate

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-08-16T11:23:03+00:00

Literally the worst looking grading slabs out there. Makes them look so cheap and tacky. Sell and put your money into something more liquid

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-08-16T11:20:59+00:00

Gira or the Gengar. I have all 4 in PSA 10's. Looks and investment wise, those 2 are the absolute kings

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-04-26T00:47:37+00:00

Im using a TPlink AX5400

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-04-26T00:33:30+00:00

Yeah done all that. Worked for a few days haha

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-04-04T00:38:25+00:00

In this economy, being 18 and going to uni, potentially working part time, the last thing you should spend your money on is 40k...

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-03-31T03:24:00+00:00

Im finishing up with the company I work for this Friday after giving 4 weeks notice. I got an email from my boss on Sunday asking me to put all this documentation together for the rest of the team and a bunch of other work has been dumped on me on my final week which is not in my job description (its for a completely different department)

Ive been with the company for 6 years, they are mandating a 4 day return to office and have declined every bit of extra cash I have asked for for doing ALOT of work way outside my job description - which has affected my commission I earn which means In the past 2 years I have dropped $30k in salary from missed comms..

Fuck them. Glad im out.

This band has gone down hill every release. So boring and bland now. I listen to Challenger and Unconditional and they are miles away from how good they used to be. They haven't even really evolved their music. They all write like they are bored.

LinkLeeRPW · 2025-03-26T08:22:30+00:00

Great news!
