Why on earth does anyone need 24 glass bottles? It's as silly as claiming spending money on 24 jars of jam is a bargain because you get 24…

Great. Put water in a fancy bottle and transport it halfway round the world, add on some marketing and, hey presto, people will pay a…

Guangzhou is an awful place. A 50 mile cloud of smog constantly over it...

Buy Samsung in haste, repent at leisure. Save your money and buy something that won't be going to landfill in three years after near…

I have a Pixel 7. Out of interest, what does a Pixel 8 Pro do in addition to what I have?

Hawthorn selling off 8 games for free, before a ball has even been kicked, shows how well they rate their chances this season...

Thanks. Brave New World is a really important book. Not read it for a while, but I think Huxley was pretty spot on prophesying a future…

Is Spam now trendy in some ironic hipster type way?

"The phone isn't anything special"? Well, that's a bit like saying a Toyota Corolla isn't anything special because a Ferrari is faster, a…

Are these boots actually made in Australia? I see no point in spending top dollar on any boots made in Asia as the quality is dreadful (see…

+1 for Kiwi knives. They're awesome for the money.

You haven't "effectively spent $180 a year". You have spent $1800 in one lump sum. Or even worse you've spent $1800 on credit. If you want…

Good tip from a chef; Kiwi knives. They're made in Thailand and cost about $10 each. I've got 3 of them and even though they're not…

And you think spending either $1800 or $2600 on something that essentially does exactly the same thing something for $700 does is a…

On what planet is spending $1800 on a mobile phone a "deal"?!

Well, couple of flaws in your argument. Sure it's the best phone in the world... for the next six months until they bring out a slightly…

Who spends $1600 on a mobile phone? Pointless.

We've a Giotto machine and a Macao grinder so are used to semi-pro home coffee. My opinion of the Lazzio beans is they're good. You can…

Lots of people who think they're Chopper Read and can do whatever they like as a landlord. Try explaining to the police why you've come…

Agreed. Any normal person prioritises their rent or mortgage over every other bill. If not then that's a definite red flag that something…

I'm on the landlord's side here, but if I were a tenant and someone ripped out my fusebox I'd be inclined to request an APVO against them…

"It's not the landlord's responsibility to make sure they still have electricity". Dead wrong. Until the tenancy contract is terminated,…

"I notice that you didn't decry the tenant refusing to pay the rent as a scumbag move…???" Not sure how well you understand the law, but…

The main thing to remember here is it's not your job as a landlord to subside the tenant. We had tenants who were constantly skipping…

They did for me earlier this year on a Pixel 7. Bought for $899 and the week after it was $749. Refunded by JBHIFI online with minimal fuss.

128. I don't store much on it so not an issue for me.

Yeah, it's solid. For the money you'll struggle to get anything better. It's not perfect but it's definitely not half as good as something…

I can answer that for you. I have a Pixel 7, which replaced a Mate 20 Pro. My wife has the P30 Pro. My advice would be not to upgrade…

Great price. I have the 128Gb one. It's not the best mobile out there, but it's definitely the best one for $750.

If any of what you claim were true, why the need to write a silly letter to Scott Pape about it? She's obviously just some low life who…
