I watch Kayo mainly for the motor racing, plus the NFL, the golf majors, Ryder Cup and a few other bits and pieces. I have a pal in the UK…

Just spent a weekend in the J5. Nice car. Not a great car, but very impressed with the value for the money. Rode well, absorbed the bumps…

Yep, Mrs B and I just changed from flying to Europe via the Middle East to via Shanghai

Great movie!

Buy First, DRINK later

Yep. About 10 mins after I posted I thought of that and it went through. Good suggestion!

Tried to order, got to the bit where you put in the address and it comes up with ADDRESS NOT UPDATED and will not proceed. Dammit

Gosh darn it! Had one in the cart, had to update the address and in the time it took to do that, got an OOS. Bugger

I have been a NYT subscriber for ages, I really like The Athletic, the Arts and Movies sections and the quizzes. Great value

I was in China last week, a endorse all the advice about the pay apps. You need them to buy anything or move around, though the Shanghai…

Agreed, I did a 9/11 tour some years ago, hosted by a couple whose firefighter son was killed when the first tower fell. A very emotional…

I wrote this some years ago for a travel website [long story] and I have posted it on OzB a couple of times. Some of it has dated but some…

I caught the Maglev from the airport to Shanghai a few hours ago and I saw a guy reading something on an Oppo fold. Then a phone rings and…

Currently in Europe, my wife is on the 30 day plan on Orange. It's terrific, literally set it up before we traveled, turned on the data at…

Thanks, we do too. We will be stopping over on the return trip, and visiting for another trip in 2027. Look out AP Plaza!

My bad; Pudong

Mrs B and I are travelling through Shanghai next month, we were going to be via Qatar but we changed flights due to concerns re Middle…

Mate I think we can piss on the fire and call the dog, you just won the OzB of the Year gong for 2026

Yep. Looked at all the brands in the shop and the first one we dismissed was Hisense. Just did not pop, ended up with a TCL

Yep, just saw that and dashed to nearest JB. It didn't quite work out though; moral of the story is, when you want to get a big TV, don't…

Quick Q for you; does it launch quickly? One of my bugbears is that some TVs take forever to get picture and sound up, I actually sold a…

Any advice on where discounted GCs are available?

Long time Amaysim customer here. Never had a problem with it, except for coverage in one small town in NE Vic where a relative lives. Fast…

Mrs B and I have a long-planned trip to Europe coming up next month and, of course, we have been booked (by a travel company) onto Qatar…

Fork handles?

After a month, how is it looking?

I would get the occasional freeze with Netflix or Stan, and some of the FTA streaming services (esp SBS). I would just back arrow and reply…
