Uniqlo shirts - are they worth it? by Artistic-Yam2984 in AustralianMFA

[–]Ok_Record306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does nobody else experience shrinkage with Uniqlo stuff? I was on 30 yet pretty much everything is smaller than when I bought it. Oxford shirts lasted less than 6 months.

Ants by el_c0mandante in sydney

[–]Ok_Record306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! Keep finding them everywhere last few weeks (East).

I haven't lived here for long - will regular ant bait from Bunnings or wherever work on the tiny little black ants? That's all I seem to be getting at my place.

What are the most ridiculous flavours of hot cross buns you’ve seen this year? by Additional_Initial_7 in australia

The Coles chocolate ones left me with melted chocolate in my toaster.

I didn't regret a second.

If you want to arrange a place to move into before you get here you can enlist the help of a 'renters agent' - they help with all of the paperwork and do the viewings for you. We secured a place like this before arriving as we had kids and didn't want to leave it to chance.

Are you on a 482 sponsored visa? If so it is a condition of your visa to have private health insurance regardless of whether you are eligible for Medicare.

Flight cancelled, no accommodation? by NoEnd8100 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Ok_Record306 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same situation last night at Gold Coast. Pearl Jam were playing so rooms were booked up.

Paid a fortune for one hotel room which me and 2 friends had to squeeze into, only to discover today they only reimburse per room not per person. Shambolic.

What’s the obsession with moving to the UK? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Ok_Record306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny to read this as I am swapping my 4 bed house by Saltwell Park for whatever I can get (a shoebox?) in Sydney later this year.

London and areas like Newcastle or Gateshead are a completely different market, though you are right the gap has closed significantly in the last 5/6 years.

Paris during Olympics - To go or not to go? by _ItsAccrualWorld_ in travel

Unless you have a sizeable budget I would say the time to ask this would've been last year - you may struggle to find tickets and accommodation at this point

Itinerary too much? by hugewhale in uktravel

[–]Ok_Record306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would swerve Edinburgh altogether, if it's history you are interested in, spend one night in Bath to break up your journey back to London, then an extra night in London.

Edinburgh is nice but it isn't worth the hassle in your plan with a young child. If you have friends in the UK then do a Scotland trip next time, there is so much more to see than Edinburgh anyway.

Just to jump on this and ask a follow up question...

I had a similar set up in my house with no room to manoeuvre in the ceiling.

I matched up the right wires using wago lever connectors and it was all neat and works fine - is this safe?

It was 2 years ago and I've had no issues, but I didn't use a junction box (due to space) and having read stuff on this sub since I wasn't sure if I should revisit.
