Free Talk - Planning The Future: Wills and Power of Attorney (Stanton Library, North Sydney, 6PM Wed 15 May)

Part of National Law Week. Technically a freebie but since only people who can travel there will be able to attend, it's of limited interest so I've put this in the forums.
Flybuys

250 Flybuy points for downloading their browser app

Got spam from Flybuys offering 250 points if I download their browser app (desktop browser), after I login to their site I assume.

Crazy John's

Well that's the end of the Crazy John's brand

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-16/vodafone-to-close-craz... I never quite understood what value they added.

Lidl.be

A supermarket that got BeBargained

Live.com

Get live.com email address instead of live.com.au address

This might be useful for people who already have a hotmail.com or outlook.com address, as I do for receiving those mailings from merchants instead of distracting me in my work mailbox.
Citibank Australia

Citibank phasing out security questions in favour of One Time Passwords

This is sort of a follow up to: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/74594#comment-943324 but on a different tack so I thought I'd start a new post.
Australia Post

Auspost Parcel Lockers now only for Auspost or Startrack deliveries

Regarding the 24/7 parcel lockers mentioned here, I just got this by email:
ALDI

Aldi has battery recycling bins

In case you didn't know already, Aldi offers free battery recycling. A couple of things to note:
IKEA

IKEA eat your discount this year?

Anybody have an idea if they are going to do this promo again this year, or will they just stick with the gift card promo, because of the chaos last year?

Bellarine VIC mid-week in mid-Feb still peak season?

This one's for VIC OzB'ers. I need to book one more night for our GOR trip in Feb and I'd like it to be in Queenscliff, or thereabouts.

Unusual SIM questions

If you come to the conclusion after reading that I'm bored, you're probably right. But here go two unusual questions.
MSY Technology

What's The Queue like at MSY Auburn on Sundays?

So after two days MSY Auburn replied by email saying they do have one item on their clearance list that I want. I have to reply to say if I want it within the day.

Vodafone

Vodafone - No more V2V rollover on 365 day plan after 13/02/13

This change was texted to a friend of mine still on Vodafone and I've checked the T&Cs and it's true. So if you have a lot of V2V minutes accumulated, better start using them up.

Free Wi-Fi at IKEA Rhodes

This evening while I was having a free cuppa tea in the Ikea cafeteria I saw that there was an open hotspot. I connected and opening the browser took me to the T&C page, where I clicked Accept.
Dick Smith Electronics

Dick Smith 9" Portable DVD/Media Player Recall

I don't know if this was ever a deal here, but in case anybody bought one at a sale, there's a recall for it on account of a potential overheating battery hazard:

Hungry Jack's

Ghost Hungry Jack Store

Seen on their store locator: http://upload.ozbargain.com/2012/03/28/8103_ghost-hj-store.p... Alas, I think it's just a programmer testing on the production website.
Pizzahut.com

Leaning Tower of Pizza

Surely, a Chinese OzBargainer. :) Or should that be CnBargainer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-S8RrFXiVI If you prefer not to spend 10 minutes watching a video and read about it quickly:
Summerrewind.com.au

Get your Summer Rewind bids in soon

Just a heads up that the T-shirt bidding ends 2359 27/02/2012 so if you still have sufficient creds, better use them up to grab a T-shirt.
ALDI

Aldi's specials this week

I had to LOL when I read Aldi's newsletter about the coming week's specials for Chinese New Year. The slogan was: spicy Asian savings and clean up for less

Tiger Airways grounded by CASA next week over safety concerns

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/07/02/3259293.htm This is sure to cause chaos during the holidays. Lucky I resisted the temptation to take a quick trip on one of their cheapies.

washing machine repair in Sydney, North Shore?

My Hoover 500MB will wash the clothes but won't go into spin mode, it just pumps the water out, leaving them wetter than they should be. So I'm looking for a repairer.

mods:user:<user> wiki edits

Just intrigued by edits to these pages that show up on Live Action. When I go to the page, it says I'm not allowed. So for mods' eyes only? What's in those pages?
