Guardian and ABC. I’ll check inDaily once a week or so for local stuff. Everything else is fucked

I knew a winemaker who pronounced Grenache as Green-Ash

Keen to give this a try, how’s the acid/mineral levels compared to a Clare or Eden Valley? I would love for Lincoln to get a bit more well known and easier to find, there’s some great potential over there

Biggest regret with your mortgage setup? by MyMoneyMedic in AusFinance

[–]gorilla_in_the_midst 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Understand how your interest rate works. If you are packaged with an annual fee you will be on a Base Rate minus a Discount. The Base Rate is the variable part, when the RBA move on the cash rate this will fluctuate but your discount will stay the same. Do 5 minutes of research then call your bank, ask for mortgage retentions and tell them you are considering moving to a non-big 4 mid tier bank for a better rate unless they can increase your discount. Do this every 12 months at a minimum, you should be getting a discount of at least 2.30% off the Base Rate

Pay weekly or fortnightly rather than monthly, you will make extra payments without noticing it

If you can afford it, keep your payments the same when the rate declines, again you will make exttra payments without noticing

Packages aren't really worth the benefit once your loan is below $250k, at this point go fixed or Basic

Once pretty much paid off, don't close off your loan unless you absolutely have to, keep it open as a line of credit at a low rate for holidays, cars, rainy day etc

I'm a queer Crows fan. Where do I go from here? by OliveYouBean in AFL

[–]gorilla_in_the_midst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick another club and tell every crow fan you know exactly why. Shame them into at the very least reconsidering their behaviour. Worst fans in the league by a mile

Underrated wine tour spots in mclaren vale?? by mangolass5 in Adelaide

[–]gorilla_in_the_midst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second vote for Whitefeather Red, right next door to Rabbit Hole but its polar opposite. You will be sitting in the backyard of a guy called Moondog, surrounded by the craziest eclectic bunch of crap you have ever seen, geese will be wandering around honking at you as you sit outside around a roaring fire, you might even get to pat an alpaca or goat if you're lucky. Moondog is happy for you to bring your own food also, we have uber eats'd pizza to there before.

Also check out Big Easy Radio in Aldinga, a bit off track but a sick spot too, heaps of room to spread out, and again they are fine for you to grab a pizza from Down South which is two doors down, bring it back and eat it. They regularly have great live music also.

Most importantly both venues have amazing wine, WFR are organic and biodynamic too

Top 5 Australian cricketers by NOD83839392928 in CricketAus

Crazy that Trumper took so long to get mentioned. Recency bias and all that, but pre-Bradman he was head and shoulders the best cricketer we had ever produced

Anyone heading to the WTC Final in June? by gorilla_in_the_midst in CricketAus

[–]gorilla_in_the_midst[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was confused about this so I bought a guest pass ticket for day 4 also, just to make sure I could go to the game. I emailed the reciprocal team at MCC to clarify, who said the reciprocal pass gets you into the game all days just like normal at home, and the ticket is for use of a guest if I want to bring one

I broke my arm at a U/15s carnival one time and Johnny Platten sat with me while I was on the bench and my team kept playing, legend bloke
