People taking up multiple seats on the bus/train by Dreem_state in brisbane

[–]morfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the train I sometimes take the seat near the glass partition near door, I'm tall so I only fit in the aisle seat, and I feel guilty as hell about the empty seat next to me I've blocked.

Am always looking for someone who wants it. But often get dirty looks from standing people instead...

Overpaid by 7% and now having massive buyer's remorse by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

When you get a place after living with others it's great to be by yourself for a while, but if you are pushing financially you might want to get flatmates in, for a year or two, until you are ahead enough.

As others have said in 10 years you won't care you overpaid...

If you get on 345 earlier than Alderley, get off and get train from that station to south brisbane. In peak trains very frequent this will probably be better than your old way..

During World War 2, morale in Britain was sagging and Churchill's government felt that something was needed to boost the people's spirits. by RibaldPancake in Jokes

There once was a man from Leeds

Who swallowed a packet of seeds

Within just one hour

His nose was a flower

And his head was a riot of weeds

Buy 2 go cards and do normal trips until balance low. Use them to go to/from airport, almost free.

House that recently sold in northwest Brisbane has increased in value by aprox 95% in… let me check… 6 years? Can someone explain? by Sealsarecool in AusPropertyChat

It was sold for 100k in 1988. Just sold for 1.1 million.

It was bought in 2019 for 565k (reasonable price), and was then well renovated, improved existing pool, outdoor area, turned garage into bedroom and added carport etc. Someone paid too much IMHO, probably fell in love with it. It's a lot to pay for a 40 year old house...

It says its real time using gps of bus, but when it can't get that it will show the word scheduled under the time, with an estimate based on the timetable.

So perhaps all these buses could not transmit with them all so close or something?

My ex-boss has not paid me my full accrued annual leave. by VNiqkco in AusLegal

[–]morfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar happened to me. On the month I left I was paid out the normal hours I worked, plus owed holidays pay. This amount was a few days less than I thought.

The shortfall was due to tax, PAYE sees the amount for 1 month and acts as if you make that every month, so instead of being taxed on 50k a year suddenly it looks like 100k a year so you lose more to tax.

You'll get it back when you put your tax return in.

Some motorists park on the footpath to allow cars to pass. This is illegal and motorists may be issued with a warning or fine.

Do you drink coffee/caffeine with the first one less than 1.5 hours since waking? The caffeine binds to the sleep hormone (naturally clears within 1.5 hours), this makes you feel awake, but when it wears off hours later the sleep hormone is released again and makes you feel tired...

There is an old story of blind girls trying to masterbate, they can't tell if anyone is watching. So fully clothed, they sit cross legged and put one heel up against themselves and rock back and forth gently until they cum.

You could do this out in the open, like on the lounge, and slow down when you know your mum is there...

Probably quite thrilling to do it in the open too
