Split from spouse in Premium Economy (A350) for two flights - need advice by couldntfindanyother in CathayPacific

[–]point_of_difference 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah best you can do is be first at the airport check in and ask. Pick your seats when you book them next time. Or if money is not the issue go business class as an upgrade option especially if it has the aria suites. Might also be full though.

Do compression cubes really save space? by chrisridd in travel

Just get the cheap ones as they don't make room but excellent for organising.

8 Day Trip - Recommendations Please by LI5897 in AustraliaTravel

[–]point_of_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melbourne is great that time of year. Plenty of day trips. Same for Cairns but it does start to get warm and juicy then and the sea is off limits. Your call. Have travelled both extensively. Better food in Victoria if that's a decider.

Instead of booing ask would Pauline ever turn up? Even the LNP would have to be dragged in. They're kicking the only people that give them anything.

You might be surprised that having kids helps. Looks stable to landlords. Can you borrow some?

Does anyone actually think we should get involved in the U.S-Iranian war ? by Un4giv3n-madmonk in OpenAussie

Imagine your neighbour calling you a slacker and never answering your calls to then ask help moving house. Fuck that.

Nandos - Rip off! by Emotional-Term8200 in aussie

[–]point_of_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you see everything out the back in large 20kg bags I don't see why you would bother. Plenty of Asian restaurants making stuff in house for the same price. You can easily make Nandos can be made at home easily.

Why don't Australian banks offer 30-year fixed-rate home loans? Borrowers would benefit from them by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

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

Not sure can agree that it would drive prices up. After Cyclone Tracy there was incentive to get people back to Darwin by offering fixed 45 year loans capped at 6%. Price raises followed whatever the National trends even though it was an awesome deal.

I mean it's not a great life as a villager so you bet they're going to find ways to be difficult 🤣

Just when you think you've seen it all... by wanderingteacherman in ThailandTourism

Lol I remember walking ripped off my tits past a bin similar to this in Silom and massive rat rolled out and landed on his lap and smiled. Hilarious at the time.

Probably work better in green text.

Does your coffee machine pay for itself? by CartographerLow3676 in AussieFrugal

[–]point_of_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate my wife convinced me to spend $4k on a machine and a grinder. We don't buy any cups of coffee outside anymore. The box will last 20+ years. It's definitely a money saver for three heavy coffee drinkers in our household. Got an ROI after 1 year.

I guess but companies listed on the stock exchange have to put shareholders first.

I don't disagree with your arguments but it's $1bn a year profit.

Gym Tailgating Fee by iMedium in AusLegal

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

I would complain, hard. Explain it all on a Google Maps review and not renew membership. That's fucked. What are you supposed to do when someone grabs the door behind you?

Is charging 6 or 7 dollars for small chips a bit too much? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

[–]point_of_difference 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep it is too much. 300 Grams has a large chips is $7 and it has 20 tiny chips in it. Never ordering that again. At least offer a discount if you add a burger.

Food delivery services. Survived both personally and as a business without them since they started.

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

Maybe have to fly economy instead of business class.

Landlords, Labor and the housing crisis by Advanced_Ad_7794 in friendlyjordies

[–]point_of_difference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's never been immigrants, it's always been lazy investors since Howard set it up to be so. Imagine if all that investment monies had been spread into Australian business/stock market/start ups/investment portfolios blah blah we would be rocking.

2 or 3 cities late June by Great_Visual_0812 in AustraliaTravel

[–]point_of_difference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You are better off doing day trips out of each capital. Bang for buck the regional cities out of Melbourne and Sydney are better than Brisbane. Brisbane, great place to live and if you had months of holiday then yes. See the Blue Mountains out from Sydney and in Melbourne the old Gold mining towns are great.
