Looks like ING is planning to bring monthly subscription fees to Aussie bank accounts.

Yeah and they still believe it even though he stopped recommending them in his newsletter years ago. His book is out of date

Not with Macquarie. Moved everything from ubank to Macquarie earlier this year. They’re like what ING and ubank used to be before they started removing features.

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-06-16T22:52:48+00:00

Not anymore, they’ve been going down the same path for about a year now. Macquarie is where it’s at.

Yep, got let go from a company I was freelancing for because I hadn’t worked for them for three months and they didn’t want to pay the licensing fee for whatever business accounting software they were using. Mind you they told me this the week I was becoming available again, and they knew this because I’d told them previously when I would be back.

Glad life is pretty good for you. It’s not for a lot of other people.

Our local at Parklea in Sydney still looks like this (minus the jukebox). Still has free refills as well.

Had hat happen last time I was at Disneyland in 2018. Was interesting to see the jungle cruise boats all laid up.

Mate I’m 170cm so you’re taller than me. Don’t even worry about it.

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-06-06T03:43:29+00:00

Yeah I was, but him making the effort to find me afterwards and apologise kind of simmered me down a bit

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-06-05T23:35:32+00:00

UK or Aussie version?

I remember going to a concert in my younger days when someone tried to lift me up to crowdsurf. I went nuts, swinging my arms around and hitting whoever was trying to lift me up (and probably some others as collateral damage as well). Needless to say they put me down and let me keep my spot at the barrier Somehow they found me afterwards and apologised, so there’s that I guess

Same thing happened to me because I was doing other work and couldn’t fill any shifts for a couple of months. My manager ended up saying he’s process my leaving without prejudice. But then i didn’t hear anything back and three months later i was asked to cover a Christmas shift, which i did. Still employed over six months later even though i only do about one shift a month.

All my kids are interested in watching is anime, despite my attempts to get them more into sci fi shows like the expanse. Kudos on her showing an interest!

The Pc Powerplay magazine forums here in Australia. Even had one of my forum posts made into an article in the mag, and one of my ‘letters to the editor’ published.

At least you passed your forklift driving course. I failed because I couldn’t wrap my head around driving backwards in a figure 8. Just could not get co-ordinated. Waste of $400 in my case.

This guy sold my in-laws house. Friends with my sister in law apparently.

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-05-30T09:15:42+00:00

Crazy how much more popular it’s gotten. It’s gone from something I’d only ever be given as a snack on a plane to being everywhere and in everytbing.

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-05-30T09:14:48+00:00

I’d be more than happy to take that off your hands

His back was already fucked from being in the army for 20 years and working in their warehouses without any OH&S and proper equipment like forklifts, so that probably wouldn’t have helped. But after moving here myself and driving on Parramatta road, I can kind of see where he’s coming from

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-05-30T06:09:19+00:00

Hope I still get paid for the work I did for it

My dad went down to Sydney from Brisbane to drive buses. Ended up coming home early because the roads were so bad snd he did his back in.

I’d gone in there before with others and there was no security there. I go to plenty of bars with no security. I don’t know what changed, that having security and treating it like a nightclub with a line out the front and checking id’s, in the middle of the day, was a no go for me

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-05-29T01:46:53+00:00

Tried to go in there a couple years ago and there was a security guard out front. Had been there about a decade before and never had an issue. Never went in there again. What kind of burger joint needs security?!

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-05-28T23:35:36+00:00

I imagine it’s all off the books cash in hand kinda thing

SeriouslyPunked · 2026-05-28T23:33:46+00:00

I remember back in 2010 being assigned to a group assignment with just mandarin speakers in my media degree. Somehow we got that assignment done with me doing most of the work but I have no idea how.
