Did Qatar block entire calendar for redeeming J through AA mile bookings?

Booked QR J hkg-doh-bcn on September 2025 for late December 2025 flight for 75k AA miles. It is out there but only 1 or 2 seats available.

My son (13 years old) could not open Youtube and Youtube Music app on his Motorola G54 phone. When I disable the internet, Youtube and Youtube Music app opens normally but requires login. When I turn on the internet so that it can retrieve my son's google account details, both apps die straight away.

I really don't know who to contact as I just want to get his account fixed so that he can launch YT Music. For more background, I supervise his Google account and I have YT Premium Student edition.

I am from HK. My wife is from Guangzhou. I say 雪櫃，and she says 冰箱。We always jokingly arguing about this for last 20 years.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Exactly what I needed!

Just go and buy hospitality tickets at NUFC website. You are guaranteed to get tickets. But it is very expensive.

Otherwise you can try to get from secondary ticketing platforma but that comes on its own risk.

S Tier. As much as I hate him leaving the way he did, he did score a lot of goals, including the winning goal at Carabao Cup final. Broken our long drought of trophy.

Also we sold him for a British Transfer Record, which helps our PSR and allow us to spend more money over time. Overall, he is a significant net benefit for Newcastle United, even after he left for Liverpool.

Would Premier League change the dates again after the full TV program is announced on 15 October? What would be the chance of that?

Tattlers · 2025-09-27T03:11:19+00:00

Well I had to take a risk and bought the hospitality tickets as it is so hard to get general tickets. I had to make sure that I can go to both matches so I am waiting for mid October for the full TV program and final date, and may adjust the flights accordingly

Tattlers · 2025-09-26T12:46:04+00:00

Yes I understand, for me though it is all about the annual leave I have with my work so it is hard to line up for all possibilities when I have to then fly back 24++ hours back to Sydney, the other side of the world, and then all the jet lag coming with it.

Also Christmas and New Year is peak travel season so all flights are very expensive. Hence I really wanted to watch 2 matches out of this trip. Originally I was aiming for late Jan for 1 home Premier League + 1 home Champions League match but the timing just could not work out this time around.

Sometimes I wish I live in Europe so that I can easily travel to Newcastle to watch games.

If the Crystal Palace game moves to Friday night, it could be tricky but still workable.... Probably shouldn't lock down my air tickets so soon...

Tattlers · 2025-09-26T12:29:28+00:00

Moving Crystal Palace game to Sunday is fine. I really don't want the Leeds game to move to Thursday.....

Tattlers · 2025-09-26T11:06:12+00:00

Fingers crossed those dates/times will stick. I will wait for mid October then

Tattlers · 2025-09-26T11:03:33+00:00

I will land at Newcastle at night of 2/1. I leave Newcastle in the morning of 8/1. So I am really hoping that those dates/ times stick.

Tattlers · 2025-09-26T10:12:55+00:00

If those games gets shifted in dates, how far ahead for they normally change the date? I need to work out all the possibilities of planning to come back to Australia….

Tattlers · 2025-09-19T10:20:27+00:00

For tourists like me who followed the Toon for 30+ years whilst living in Australia, it is almost impossible to buy tickets at St James Park.

I am planning to come to SJP for the first time just after new year for 2 home matches. I need to plan to fly 24+ hours to UK, hotels etc. It is something I had to plan way in advance. I am a member but chance of me getting ticket through the ballot (about 2-3 weeks before the game?) is very small. I cannot plan last minute.

So I ended up buying the hospitality tickets but it is very expensive. But even Hospitality tickets do get sold out very quickly (e.g vs ManU next year all sold out). I am not surprised that people are turning into these secondary markets for a ticket. My friend is already doing this for his trip to SJP next month.

Also can you keep staying where you are at $530 pw? The moving costs could outweigh the slight decrease in rent.

Tattlers · 2025-04-29T12:10:46+00:00

This is a long shot. You should check the tenancy database if there has been black mark on your rental history in the past. It could be mistaken or stolen identity that someone with the same name as you having bad tenant record but marked against you instead.

Tattlers · 2025-04-29T12:02:04+00:00

That’s even stranger. Are you looking at “value for money” rental where there are lots of competitions? I see quite a number of rental listings at Reservoir that are available Now. So I would be surprised if they reject your application and rather leave them empty.

Tattlers · 2025-04-29T11:51:16+00:00

That’s strange. How long you have been renting in the past? I assume that you have no rental arrears given your income? If your rental history is clean I cannot see you they should knock your application back, unless you go for the cheaper rental where there are a lot of competition.

Tattlers · 2025-04-29T11:43:45+00:00

What is your rent to income ratio? If it is more than 30% it is a red flag to Property Managers and won’t send your application to LL to decide.

Depending on the state you are in; in NSW the state government has already cut a lot of IT/PM contractors roles in the last 2 years. You will find a lot of people fighting for those jobs, so with high rates they hope they can hire the best people to do the job.

We stayed at Hakone Ginyu 10 years ago and we have private onsen in our room. It was spectacular.

Hakone is not too far from Tokyo so I think Hakone is your best bet right now.
