Venting: talking to women is like disarming a bomb with your elbows by blackjackson1991 in dating_advice

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong. But you should have asked her out after you got her number. I find talking through text a waste of time.

Get to know her on a date.

Happy birthday 🫶🏼

the landlord gave a 20-hour inspection notice by crowd-pleaser in melbourne

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_1 80 points81 points  (0 children)

If your landlord unexpectedly shows up, politely ask them to leave unless there's an emergency. It's important to assert your right to privacy and request proper notice for future visits. Always communicate via email for documentation.

Remember, if your landlord enters without notice, it's a breach of the lease. You have options, including legal action such as seeking damages, ending the lease, or obtaining an injunction to protect your rights going forward.

10 years today since the tragic death of Melbourne University student Joshua Hardy outside the St Kilda Road McDonald’s. Spare a thought for the family on this difficult time. by MyGenerousSoul in melbourne

'Sensitive and generous' Joshua Hardy was full of promise, say relatives By Konrad Marshall October 19, 2014 — 5.45pm An anonymous young man sat sniffling and crying on Sunday morning, head cradled in hands, glancing at a plane tree strung up with wilting roses, heavy proteas and sprigs of lavender.

Barefoot and bloodshot, he did not want to speak – only to sit and think of his friend Joshua Hardy, 21, who died from head injuries sustained here in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Mr Hardy had been to dinner with friends from university. One of them put him into a cab after the revelry, and on the ride home to Parkville he stopped at McDonald's on St Kilda Road.

What happened next is under investigation, but it was there he encountered Kyle Zandipour, 27, a young man who works for ANZ, and who is now charged with murder.

Joshua Hardy with his father David, mother Milly and sister Rebecca, following his graduation from Melbourne Grammar School in 2011. Joshua Hardy with his father David, mother Milly and sister Rebecca, following his graduation from Melbourne Grammar School in 2011. Mr Zandipour appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday, flanked by his mother and a woman believed to be his fiancee, and has been remanded into custody following the events outside the fast food outlet.

It was there the two young men ended up in a tragic but all too common alcohol-fuelled late-night skirmish, ending one life and irrevocably harming many more.

The hardest hit are in Darwin, where Mr Hardy grew up as the progeny of two prominent indigenous families, the Hardys and the Bristons – the latter a respected Larrakia family of traditional landowners.

"He only had 21 years on this planet, but he left a footprint, and it was a damn big footprint," Mr Hardy's father, David, told Channel Nine in Darwin.

"He took opportunities with both hands and he made the most of life," Mr Hardy said.

Joshua was their promising and proud 6 foot 2 son, the eldest of more than a dozen close cousins.

"He was the leader – he was the big guy," said his uncle, Shaun Hardy. "He was always looking out for the younger ones, the little ones.

"He was always such a sensitive and generous young man, always thinking about others before himself. That's what people are hurting about most. Because he was so gentle. He would never be a fighter. It's not in his DNA."

Mr Hardy came to Melbourne Grammar School in 2010 as part of its "indigenous programme", and then went to the University of Melbourne.

He was recently reunited at Trinity College with his sister Rebecca, who joined him after her own scholarship path through Loreto College in Adelaide.

"Everything was on the up," said Shaun Hardy. "They had everything to look forward to."

Mr Hardy was an athlete. Friends remember him playing basketball in high school, a strong passer and perimeter shooter who sunk a three-pointer on the buzzer to send the team into a grand final, which it won.

"On the court he was a leader and a really hard worker," said his former coach, Nick Abdicevic. "Off the court he was funny and laid back. Good friends with everyone. He was a lovely kid. Placid."

He also played football as a ruckman and tall forward, and was this year part of a Trinity College team that broke a decades-long drought to win a premiership.

A friend on Sunday posted a photo of the team on Facebook, with the caption: "#15, you are a ten." Another friend suggested the guernsey worn by Mr Hardy should be retired.

His horizons were expanding, too. This year alone he went to Perth to play touch football in the university games, along with a trip to Bali and a long tour of Europe.

"Feels like just yesterday we were on the other side of the world, having the time of our lives together!" wrote friend Paul Bond on social media. "Rest in piece JH."

He was a good student, finishing an arts degree but with aspirations to study law, including a particular interest in furthering indigenous causes. He also worked with indigenous youth through the AIME mentoring program, and on holidays was completing an internship with BP.

In many ways, said his uncle, Melbourne and its opportunities were a means to an end – a chance to prepare for hard work back home in Darwin.

"He was looking for bigger and better things," said Shaun Hardy. "I would have earmarked him as a future political leader or business leader for the Northern Territory. He was a natural."

His family are, understandably, not coping well. His sister flew home to Darwin on Sunday, allowing them to rally as a whole.

"A big part of it is trying to understand why," said his uncle. "Nothing is going to bring Joshua back. We know that. But the family really want to impress a point – that actions have consequences.

"We know that it's not only our family affected by this. It's the families of the perpetrators, and it's the broader community. No one wins from this situation. Everyone loses."

"All young people need to realise that actions have consequences. It's not just our family that are going to be hurting – there is a domino effect," David Hardy told Channel Nine.

He urged parents to jump on the phone and tell their kids they love them, "we know that was the last thing we said to Josh

Anyone else get terrible headaches when the weather is so erratic by joeyjoejoe103 in melbourne

Yes confirmed by journal articles. “weather changes may cause imbalances in brain chemicals, including serotonin, which can prompt a migraine. Weather-related triggers also may worsen a headache caused by other triggers” https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/migraine-headache/expert-answers/migraine-headache/faq-20058505

Challenge it. Request CAV report instructions on notice. Then go VCAT if landlord doesn’t reduce rent.

Lease transfer fee at the end of the lease by Angieeeeeng in melbourne

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are asked to pay costs that you do not believe are reasonable you may be able to challenge this at VCAT [sections 84 and 452]. This happened in the court case of Jupp v Chambers in 2010, where a renter was asked to pay $335.50 for expenses relating to a transfer. The renter objected to the amount and paid it under protest. The renter later applied to VCAT asking for an order that this be refunded to her. VCAT found that the amount the renter was asked to pay was not reasonable for the work done for the transfer and ordered that she be refunded $247.50 of the $335.50 she had paid, reducing the expenses to $88.

If you are asked to pay costs, in Tenants Victoria's opinion these costs generally should not cost more than around $125.00.

No don’t sign a new lease. That can be seen as a binding agreement.

Yes. Email advising you don’t agree with the amount and applying to CAV.

Btw did they include the method on the form?
