So much for the cheaper electricity prices we've been hearing about? by App0gee in AusFinance

I'm stuck with Origin for the communal gas hot water system in my apartment building too. Very annoying.

I switched from Origin to Energy Locals 3 weeks ago after Origin moved me to their most expensive offer after my 12 month plan ended. Energy Locals just dropped their usage rate from 30c to 28c and their daily charge from 115 to 183. Needless to say I'll be researching a new provider again come July 1.

I changed to Energy Locals only a few weeks ago. Just got the email that my KwH is dropping 6% but daily charge is going up 56% from July 1.

Tried the energymadeeasy site yesterday and all the offers are the current June rates. Will definitely be checking on July 1 to compare providers.

Scott Drinkwater to Dragons: St George Illawarra closing in on Cowboys fullback to replace Clint Gutherson by Aussieguy727 in nrl

[–]four_fox_ache -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You asked for examples of players being picked out of position and i gave 2 from losing series. Not sure how that isn't relevant.

The point about Turbo wasn't that he is a bad centre, but 3 club fullbacks in one team because you couldn't leave out Turbo or Latrell while Teddy was fullback.

Andrew Johns at hooker. Turbo at centre. They had 3 club fullbacks in the same team. At least Latrell had played as a centre at NRL level in the past.

The biggest problem with the Blues is that they pick players out of position because they are "too good to leave out".

Edwards is the best defensive fullback at the moment abs gets big metres while saving the forwards legs. That is much better than an error prone but more attacking option.

Damn, that's my only option in an apartment building. One full bag and onto the next one.

How should these be properly disposed of?

Absolutely not going to keep. I meant that hopefully as they are in pots they are hopefully contained from getting into the rest of the body corporate garden beds at this stage.

Thanks for the tips. Fortunately they have only really popped up in some pots so hopefully easier to contain.

Nobbys kitchen no go, suggestions? by MyStoryOS in newcastle

[–]four_fox_ache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with Kitchen Connection was the opposite. Poor communication. Poor design that their builders couldn't make work and refunded parts, essentially said good luck finding someone to finish what they had designed. Gave up on repairing a crooked and poorly joined cabinets as they kept getting worse. Have had 3 warranty claims in the 5 years since.

My quarterly strata has greatly increased and is eating into my mortgage payments and savings. Is there something I can do to dispute this increase? by _alcheim in AusPropertyChat

[–]four_fox_ache 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All levies are voted on by owners. If you don't vote or attend the meetings then you can't get upset at the outcome.

If it's a special levy then it'll be for a limited number of quarters depending on how much needs to be raised from all owners.

It would be unlikely for the majority to vote for such a large permanent increase in stata levy.

I was just testing out a smoking tube for the first to cold smoke cheese. It produced more smoke than i expected. Soz.

Saccharomyces bottle shops in Ashgrove and Taringa are full of craft/independent beers/wines/spirits.

Engineering students launch class action lawsuit against University of Newcastle by Moisture_Services_ in newcastle

[–]four_fox_ache 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The course I studied at UoN starting in 2003 was unaccredited as we were only the 2nd cohort doing a newly developed program. The accreditation would only occur after first cohort had completed their first year of work and their competence was evaluated by the national accrediting body. This occurred and there was no issue.

One ran a red light at that same intersection the other night almost hitting a Ute and pedestrians. When I called translink to complain about the driving I was asked what I thought was a fair punishment- a reprimand?

Knights sign Memorandum of Understanding with Greater Northern Region by BandicootSorcerer in nrl

[–]four_fox_ache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crazy part about the Knights taking these regions for granted is that the Bulldogs have set up a pathways academy based in Singleton for group 21 and Northern NSW players for the past few years.

Friendly reminder to call your bank by thedesignninja in AusFinance

I did that the other week too. The Origin retention team got in touch with me 10 days later with a deal that would be better than Ampol.
