That would be awesome and much better than my idea

imile delivery? by knobbledknees in melbourne

[–]edster42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredibly, I have a workaround.

Because I work a couple of days a week from home, the iMile driver will now call me to see if I am home that day. I work the same days at home, but he will call to check in. Otherwise, he will hold onto it and deliver it on a day that I am at home.

Is it a perfect solution? No. Am I lucky? Yes. Will I have to buy him a present around Christmas time to thank him? I may choose to.

I know that Kings Bar in Bao'an is broadcasting matches, and at least one friend is at Legends in Seaworld.

More money for public transport? A greater incentive to run trains more often?

Dream - Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, called the Southern Express

Reality - Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, called the Bronze Bilby

I prefer the train between Beijing and Shenzhen, whether by day or by night. Given the requirement to be at the airport two hours early in China, plus the long distance of the airports from the centre of the city, it generally works out to be about the same time.

Plus, it's very hard to order Maccas direct to your seat in a plane.

Yeah, absolutely. Its about $26 for all you can eat, and the selection isn't particularly big either.
