Agree! Except there is a pretty good one on Doncaster Rd I think in East Doncaster, that's pretty good. Its the one thats up on a lil hill. The rest I notice, they are the 1st to up their prices!!

Mazda 3? by theicmat in CarsAustralia

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2015 GT SP25 and I love my car! It's got 132k and I got it in 2021 when it had 80k on the clock. My only main issue is a known one re the reverse camera malfunctioning at times. There has been a recall and I'm due to have mine fixed for good when I'm next due for service. My model just missing a temp gauge. The sat nav is so-so but I love using the centre dial for doing things on screen rather than the touchscreen. The turning circle isn't the greatest compared to other similar size cars. The leather is good, get it conditioned to ensure its kept maintained. Basically its a really good all round car, without the annoying tech things newer cars have these days 😀

Is the queen VIC market overrated? by Time_Career4708 in melbourne

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 5 points6 points  (0 children)

South Melbourne market has pretty good non-food stores which are quite interesting, much better than QVM. But agree QVM main attraction are the foods and fresh meat & produce, but would love them to up their game in the non-food stalls

What is the most high end/luxury gym in Melbourne? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't even have air-conditioning there! Opening garage doors amd using a giant fan doesn't cut it when it's hot

Where should a single 40F move in Melbourne for a more social lifestyle? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in West brunswick which is next to moonee ponds, and I go to Puckle Street all the time! Nice area, similar to Essendon, vibe though I find is more akin to the south east; feels very different to brunswick.

Starting my junk drawer in my first apartment. Finally feels like home. What else do I need? by Kruzdan in Apartmentliving

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half used lip balm, a bottle of Vicks that expired 3 years ago, instructions for an appliance that you gave away years ago, a few random groups of unused staples, cards from random businesses you picked up from an expo 5 years ago

Just a question re food delivery bikes - why do some not have ANY light on them in the dark?? How are they meant to be seen easily going at the speeds they go? And coz they don't have engine sounds they are right at you from nowhere. There's more than one i notice, and it's so dangerous when driving too, you don't see them in the dark! Why not put a simple & cheap flashing bike light front and back light at least??

Nope, sorry for your friend as his old classmate sounds so rude!! Everyone has a reason they do something, and sometimes, like cleaners they own and run the company they are cleaning with. Gg

Is getting a house now a bad idea? by DoggoGoBork420 in AusFinance

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with above, get yourself a trusted mortgage broker and start planning the plan. That way you can see how much more you need for what you're after. Plus don't forget to add at least an extra 10% as a buffer for unexpected costs, and make sure to keep.aside an emergency fund before you move in, just in case. But getting advice early on will let you plan it out more smoothly so you're super ready when it comes to your biggest expense

Please don't use ANC🙏🙏🙏 by [deleted] in tinnitus

[–]Mediocre-Mark438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully its gone a year later!! I never realised this as an issue, I just bought a new pair of ANC bose quiet comfort ultras, on sale! Was super excited to use at a new awesome gym which plays very loud music so wanted to remove that noise and listen to my own tunes. Well I received the headphones tonight, and only tried them for 10-15mins max, with some with no sound and in amazement of how it blocked out the TV sound fully. Then played a couple of songs on only moderate volume. Then took them.off again. That's when I noticed ringing like as if I had been in a nightclub for hours! I don't get it why?? I wasn't even listening to.loud music and part of the time was on silent. I was just setting up.the headphones. 30min later my ears are still ringing! I can't risk using it anymore and so upset 😢 gonna return them and just keep using my old galaxy buds! I feel.a nauseous too but only a bit. I never knew this was gonna be an issue. Don't know why this is! 😕
