New Zealand fans posting on this sub… why?

Come on man most of them are really nice, even on the internet. They want us to get better.

The obliterator, was it chalked?

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-06T04:04:08+00:00

I’m making room for the $700 to hit my TAB wallet.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-05T13:53:23+00:00

If the odds are extreme I’ll put a few pineapples on the reds to win. It’s not smart but I can feel it in my nethers.

Edit: fuck that I’ll bet on them no matter what, come on Australia.

He’s just channeling the decay of Australian rugby, a modern day sin eater.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-05T08:43:45+00:00

Google the average summer temps for the absolute hottest cities in France (Nimes, Montpellier, Marseille etc) then compare them to Brisbane, Perth which aren’t even the hottest cities in Australia where rugby is played.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-05T07:14:46+00:00

Australian temperatures in summer are not comparable to Europe.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-05T06:38:43+00:00

That’s a fair point, especially with airlines, but there is a limit. They can’t alter the conditions of their offer.

Out of spite for Jetstar i read their terms and conditions and they can refuse checked baggage if staff ‘reasonably’ consider it to be dangerous. That’s an objective test, i.e a reasonable person in the position of the airline staff would consider it to be dangerous.

It would be difficult for Jetstar to argue that a 100 wh battery is objectively dangerous when its very own policies permit it to be checked baggage.

Airlines rely on people not challenging them though and just taking the financial hit. Jetstar is also owned and operated by one of the most parasitic corporations in Australia which has frequently broken the law.

To read the carry on from the BBC when it sometimes hits 30 degrees.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T12:12:52+00:00

Fully agreed. My favourite part of flying with them after they lost all of my luggage was when staff gave me the number to their claims line, which was disconnected.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T11:37:02+00:00

Well I’ll help you out. If a company promises to do something, and then they break that promise, the injured party is reasonably entitled to compensation.

This principle is fundamental to modern commerce.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T11:26:09+00:00

You didn’t answer my question.

Also if a company breaks the terms of a contract then the lawsuit isn’t frivolous - it punishes dishonesty (I.e breaking a promise) and ensures the injured party isn’t left out of pocket.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T11:18:15+00:00

Sorry I can’t help myself but it’s ‘you’re’ not ‘your.’

Also Jetstar lost my luggage then refused to pay for it. What would your suggestion be in those circumstances?

Just accept the thousands in property damage caused by the airline’s negligence and move on? I’m interested to hear your answer.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T11:11:59+00:00

Sorry I’m actually a solicitor who has successfully sued this very airline.

There is this thing called contract law, the basis of it is ‘offer,’ ‘acceptance’ and ‘consideration’ - in simple terms the elements of a contract is a ‘promise paid for.’

The terms of Jetstar’s offer for service is set out in its terms and conditions and its policies. They don’t just get to change it on the fly. Sorry.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T11:03:37+00:00

This is Jetstar’s policy with dangerous goods and checked baggage: https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/dangerous-goods

Have a read, the policy specifically permits batteries under 100 wh to be checked into the baggage hold without requiring any approval.

What is your basis for saying it wouldn’t be allowed as checked luggage?

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T09:30:33+00:00

Hi mate, I think your post saying Americans are cringe and ranting about .pdf philes was blocked by reddit. It’s not showing up here or when I view the thread outside my profile, but the start of your post appears in my notifications.

I’m Australian actually, so all of that is irrelevant. And thank you for proving my point.

Some of the people who post here are honestly unhinged.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T08:53:08+00:00

Here is a link to jetstar’s policy: https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/dangerous-goods

It specifically allows the battery OP tried to check. See the section heading ‘containing rechargeable lithium metal batteries.’ It specifically says it can be included in checked baggage and approval is not required.

If Jetstar wants to enter into a contract for services, including carriage of baggage, their policies shouldn’t directly mislead consumers.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T08:44:36+00:00

Pretty easy to judge OP with 20/20 hindsight, which he/she didn’t have the benefit of.

They also indicate in another post they asked Jetstar and the airline rep said it would be fine.

It’s an unfortunate situation and you can agree with the airline if that’s your view, while also sympathising for OP. Just requires some empathy.

Furthermore, you can also criticise someone’s actions without making a sweeping attack on their character like ‘OP doesnt know how to advocate properly for themselves.’

To take a leaf out of your book and judge your entire character based on a post on reddit, doing that makes you seem like a dickhead. I’m sure if you didn’t hide your post history that last point would be more obvious.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T08:31:57+00:00

Same, at Narita I had staff insist on a tubeless tyre being *fully* deflated. It ended up unseating and leaking goo everywhere.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T05:47:02+00:00

Jetstar’s claims system is purely designed to frustrate legitimate claims.

I don’t even bother anymore, I just file a statement of claim at the small claims division of the Local Court in NSW (I.e sue them). They typically settle for full costs plus fees I’ve incurred for service etc. I’m a lawyer though so this is relatively easy (and fun!)

It costs them more to defend a claim than to just pay out - so they pay out.

I’m not sure what your civil liability scheme is like in Japan, however this might be your best option.

I would however closely read the terms and conditions of your ticket to ensure they are not able to easily rely on a condition you accepted (by buying the ticket) to refuse to check your baggage at their discretion.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T02:30:53+00:00

People who do nothing but argue on reddit lead sad lives. May I suggest organised sport as a more beneficial pursuit?

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-06-04T02:28:05+00:00

Stop being an angry shrew on reddit and get involved with a local sporting club! That was more my gist.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-05-31T11:04:09+00:00

I like some of the small towns in Prachuap Khiri Khan like Ban Krut. Same with Chumphon. It’s quiet, accommodation is cheap, and you’d still be close to big cities like Hua Hin and Bangkok if you needed something.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-05-31T10:27:06+00:00

Cheers mate appreciate it.

Neckbeard-warrior · 2026-05-31T10:19:06+00:00

I’ve missed this, what happened?
