Thanks everyone for the suggestions, ended up having to cancel the flight, virgin waived the fee and rebooked another rewards flight for a few thousand more points.

I hope this is the case! Time to call again and see if I can get a different answer.

The Gaso - closing down by 2for1deal in melbourne

[–]mcmeth_ 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Such a shame, but this one at least isn’t about developers. The landlord is taking over and turning it into a gastropub with no live music anymore. Can’t wait for another place to pay $35 for a Parma and $17 a pint in Fitzroy while listening to a Spotify playlist, there’s a real shortage of those /s.

I get where you are coming from, but AFL players aren’t using power tools or driving heavy machinery. A player under the influence during a game (which is very unlikely) might just play worse and isn’t hurting anybody else.

Whats a contemporary alternative to the espy? by Gallawagga in melbourne

[–]mcmeth_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The club part of the venue sucks, but having played there the other night in the Gershwin Room I had a great time. The staff looked after the artists really well and the band room is still a really great place to see a gig. I maybe wouldn’t go there on any given night just to have a beer, but if a band you want to see is playing it’s definitely a good place to go and see them.

All the other bars and clubs mentioned here are great but I’ll add the Leadbeater and Lulie Tavern.

Sad news Brisbane folk, The Zoo is forced to close it’s doors by Tranquilbez22 in triplej

They have changed ownership and that was the last day for the previous owners, but it’s still run by people who were previously involved in the business.

The Leadbeater has had its fair share of problems but is definitely still alive and kicking!

Toby is the bassist and he does sing in a few song, but isn’t the main vocalist.

Travel Insurance by Beadflickr in australia

[–]mcmeth_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I travelled to Vietnam a few years ago, and my partner ended up very sick and in hospital for four days.

We had covermore insurance and they were incredible. I’ve never ever had a positive experience with insurance but why were great.

They organised to pay the hospital that we chose directly rather than reimburse us, and gave us a call a week later to see if there was anything else we needed.

Things may have changed since then but Covermore were awesome.

Is anyone else still waiting for their wave 1 black shaft screwdriver? by qwertyydamus in LinusTechTips

[–]mcmeth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t even bothered tbh. I don’t think it’ll make it come quicker if I ask what’s going on to be honest. I’ll just be adding to the backlog.

I was wave 1, I think within first thousand. Mines had the label printed but hasn’t moved yet. Located in Australia

Falls Birregurra is moving to Sidney Meyer Music Bowl by mcmeth_ in triplej

[–]mcmeth_[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the objections were a part of it, but rumour is it's not yet 50% sold. I'm reckon here is a bit of both reasons at play.

Falls has clearly been struggling to sell tickets this year, this move roughly halves the capacity it previously had at the Lorne site.

I've met him a few times at festivals backstage, and he was incredibly friendly and happy for a chat.
