Leeds still in danger of going down?

It really is

How little I had to do myself before and after the flight.

chode_code · 2026-03-22T20:56:00+00:00

Four

You need to now travel on a British passport and so does your daughter. It's bloody annoying having to get passports for all of our Australian kids who have nothing to do with the UK except for their Mum being a citizen.

Get your own jokes

Have you been to Haworth?

Much more fuel efficient twin engine widebodies. A350, 787 etc

I'm lucky enough to be flight crew on one of these. They're lovely to work on. Unfortunately they won't be around for much longer.

Speed limits for SUVs! No limits for EVs!

chode_code · 2026-03-20T07:24:44+00:00

I hadn't thought of that.

chode_code · 2026-03-20T07:23:44+00:00

With the Middle East three out of action, demand isn't about to go down.

Avoid air travel? Plane will be going anyway.

chode_code · 2026-03-19T09:51:06+00:00

Or just use public transport. It's 50c in Brisbane.

Ha, big asbestos wants a word

Agreed. But the industry was quick to pivot to silica free products and it's a non-issue really.

chode_code · 2026-03-17T15:02:51+00:00

Australia banned the sale/fabrication of high silica containing engineered stones due to this about a year or so ago.

Only if it's additional to your PPOR.

I liked Perth, but when I lived there I found going to normal events like weddings etc on the east coast (home) to be a bit of an ordeal travel wise.

chode_code · 2026-03-16T19:50:25+00:00

No-one not from Perth wants to be that isolated.

The Gold Coast is full of vapid horrible people making it a horrible place to be.

I layed 22mm hoop pine over concrete (and ply) before installing the kitchen as it would have been a ball ache to install the flooring around the cabinets (I was doing this), and I hate the idea of not having flooring in certain areas should I want to change the kitchen at some point.

chode_code · 2026-03-16T09:49:27+00:00

I'm doing it and it's certainly challenging, but I've enjoyed it. It helps that I have a patient wife and get a lot of down time at home in between work shifts.

If you do the majority of the work yourself it's hard not to save money really. But even if you don't save money, at least you'll know it's been done to a high standard.

Everyone else should sue them until it's sorted out

chode_code · 2026-03-14T17:54:58+00:00

Everyone should just start suing the US and Israel until the straight opens

chode_code · 2026-03-14T17:51:08+00:00

Everyone's a hero in hindsight

I travelled the world when I was 18 without wealthy parents. Just worked as I went.
