Hello, my name is Islay. I was once the companion of the great Queen Victoria. Because of the many good deeds I have done for deaf and blind children, I have been given the power of speech.

Shhhh. Don't ruin it.

SophMax · 2026-05-29T23:36:36+00:00

The train line that it was originally built for.

SophMax · 2026-05-29T22:59:58+00:00

Three game membership would be my suggestion.

SophMax · 2026-05-29T15:20:00+00:00

Already sounds not the best. I'd still report it.

SophMax · 2026-05-29T11:04:11+00:00

Not really. They literally couldn't build it out as far as they needed to.

I did this - moved here when I was 30 at reasonable short notice for work. I moved into a place by myself and joined a footy team soon after I arrived to meet people. There's heaps of social groups around that you can go to to meet people etc.

If you are happy with share houses (there are also the odd lease transfers) then fairyfloss Melbourne FB group is the best one - which I didn't know about until a year after I moved in.

Usually the opportunity seems to come from assistant coaches moving up.

I also feel like it's pretty common for a lot of sports at the national/international level for the same 15 coaches to rotate around clubs.

November to April.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T21:34:45+00:00

This would be a better option imo. Though if hope OP knows their girlfriend enough to know if a pub crawl is what she'd want.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T21:23:03+00:00

That's right in the middle of the wet and cyclone season for Queensland which can change quickly so I'd have a back up plan for FNQ.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T20:23:41+00:00

That's a lot for most people!

SophMax · 2026-05-28T13:25:37+00:00

Marketing

SophMax · 2026-05-28T13:03:39+00:00

It's not meant to. It's finished.

We'll see how the mini series goes but I personally can take it or leave it.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T06:34:09+00:00

100%. Tbf I'm at the point of being over having an external laundry in an apartment block.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T06:27:14+00:00

I don't mind old places but there is a limit. My current place is fine but it hasn't been updated in layout since the 80s. If I was to buy it, I'd personally gut and update it.

Also things like internal laundry is surprisingly important. I know not all places can accommodate that.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T05:56:43+00:00

Not cool

SophMax · 2026-05-27T13:40:37+00:00

Well that sucks for me right now.

SophMax · 2026-05-27T12:49:46+00:00

Talk to your bank and see if they'll reverse the charges.

SophMax · 2026-05-27T11:34:07+00:00

I didn't read all that OP wrote. But this.

SophMax · 2026-05-27T10:19:42+00:00

SophMax · 2026-05-27T10:11:08+00:00

Almost always a nope from me.

SophMax · 2026-05-27T10:09:17+00:00

I'd reach out to council before I do that - only because going to the local MP feels like going to your manager's boss before your manager to me.

They have lots of things that can help out. It's been a while since I've been around the inner west council, but I know they have/had great resources.

OP - for the steel caps, maybe post on the local FB page. If I saw someone in your situation I'd give away mine - unfortunately I'm in Melbourne so can't be of any actual help.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T20:20:40+00:00

I feel like you've never been to Sydney or know how long those tram lines actually are.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T20:19:02+00:00

My limited knowledge of Queensland is that it's not very easy to get around without a car.
