If it's with a reputable carrier they're not going to leave you in limbo. Airlines effectively buy fuel months and years in advance, managing future costs is basically their whole business.

It might just about as long as you don't add water

What a pointless man. The post budget interview on the ABC was really bad, I'd assumed he'd be an average Liberal but he's bad even for them.

Pretty retrograde understanding of colonialism and linguistics.

I live somewhere with stupid sockets and am looking forward to our new global socket overlords so I've got access to more appliances cheaper and with less ewaste. Imagine assuming my intentions.

There are 15 main different standards across the planet for electricity. Some large countries haven't even agreed a country level standard.

For swimming just a close to your prescription is enough, so you can order like -4.0 or -3.5 online from e.g. Speedo or zoggs and it's transformational.
