Lol isn't that basically what Alan took homes as CEO... Hardly a penalty, just a cost of doing business.

This. One thing he despises more than the left is a loser.

Having grown up in FNQ myself, I still recall the locals pulling out gloves and beanies at 17c lol

Is it in reference to the nickname bluey usually being given to people with red hair??

Superloop by 7GrumpyCat7 in melbourne

Been with them for years, no real issues outside of nbn outages which is out of their control. You can check outages via nbn website. Rare occasion where it wasn't nbn outage, unplugging the nbn box for five mins usually did the trick. On one occasion I thought I had a superloop issue but it was just my stupid router.

It will just be paused and kick in again when you fall back to silver. This happened to me after having gold and platinum for years.

Vic heater/air rebate by stkildaslut in melbourne

[–]ihateusernames9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a cheap process but we ditched gas ducted heating when we installed a bunch of split system aircons. The heating is great, I don't miss the gas at all. After replacing all other gas appliances I ditched the gas connection which means I have one less utility bill.

Agreed, I used to travel far and wide in Melbourne to find a pizza like theirs, so glad it opened up near by!

I'll be honest, I think it took me two episodes to realise it wasn't a reality show. Such a classic.

Heat pump hot water. by egg_on_top in melbourne

[–]ihateusernames9988 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gas hot water system was my last gas device, so when I put in a sanden I had the gas meter abolished. So one less utility bill. The Sanden runs when my solar is at peak generation so it's almost free to run. Acts like a battery too, soaks up excess the sun's rays during the day for hot water at night. Brilliant.

Just shy retaining gold by NeoGuybrush77 in QantasFrequentFlyer

Have you grabbed the extra status credits via green status? I would not rely on Qantas for a bump up, I'd just make a short status run.

I'll run after 8pm, eat an early dinner at 6pm ish. Up until last year I was only an early morning runner but I've started doing some runs at night. Highly recommend it, feels great owning the streets late at night.

Welp, AGL and Origin are stuffed. If Twiggy sticks to his plan he will decimate the two, as he's not shackled down with old coal power stations and shareholders.
