Anyone here heard of bitcoin (http://www.weusecoins.com) and if so, do you use it much?

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo My speedo* is going haywire... half the time it just stays on 0kph while I'm driving, sometimes flicks over to 200kph for a second. I've been told it's a faulty 'sender' which I've tried to learn about today on the net (VSS: Vehicle Speed Sensor). Hard to find...

Sorry if this has already been posted. And it's more like FHB Psychology... http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/news/first-home-buyers-make-debt-burden-worse/story-e6frg90f-1226009308902 Does this surprise anyone? The most surprising part for me is "One in four did not have home and...

Hi, Just wondering what people here think of using unique 'novelty' figures when listing a property for sale, or what do you think of these advertisements when you come across them as a buyer? Eg, unit for $333,333 or a house for $525,252 The idea being just to give them something to...

Hi all, My wife and I had plans to stay on the Gold Coast for xmas but plans have changed... so if anyone is interested in taking over the (non-refundable) booking, please PM me. It's for 2 nights: friday through to sunday. Thanks, Ian p.s. This forum should have some kind of...

As of today I am no longer a Telstra customer (for anything). Wow the view is amazing from here!

Hi All, I have a unit at Toowong, which when I bought it was being managed by a terrible body corporate company. So after a lot of time and hassle (this is the short, G-rated version), I finally got it changed to another company. Now company B is proving to be just as unreliable and basically...

Hi everyone, A few weeks back I posted something about my currency trading and invited anyone interested to PM me for further discussion, etc. and after having one particularly long conversation with Rob (wobbycarly) I asked his permission to paste everything into a public thread instead so...

Hi, I would like to increase the limit on my credit card, because I'd rather do it now when I don't need the money, than try to increase it when (if) I do need the money. So under this scenario, what should I put down on the application for the 'Purpose of limit increase'? The real...

Hi, I was told by a mod recently that 'signature guidelines' allow for no more than two links, however I still have been unable to find where this rule is written. I've checked the terms of use and the faq, but can't see it mentioned anywhere. Can someone show me where all the rules are? And...

I had to post this somewhere, because some may find it useful. Not wanting to throw my old laptop batteries in the bin I went on a hunt to find a recycler in Brisbane and surprisingly I found it relatively difficult to track down somewhere convenient. However ultimately I found that Battery...

This is hilarious! Most agents deliberately leave out photos like this, and purposely don't mention the high-tension powerlines, but this agent is actually showing them off...

Hi, I made a quick diagram to help ask my questions... 1. If you live in house 1, which is on 3 separate titles, can you claim all 3 titles as your PPoR? For example when applying for land-tax exemption? 2. What if A, B and C all had different names on the titles, (eg You, your...

If anyone is interested in this (genuinely serious and in a position to do something), please PM me. I'd be happy with either a spotters fee or some kind of JV. House asking price: $650,000 Stamp duty: $25,000 Reno estimate (3 months): $100,000 - $150,000 End value estimate: $900,000 -...

I found this interesting. More here: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/news/aussies-cant-account-for-third-of-spending/story-e6frg90f-1225818366012 I'm sure I've had weeks where I was unable to account for 99% of spending :) And just as the article suggests, it was while out...

Sooooo... Last night I ate dog meat. It's such a Korean stereotype that a couple of days ago I asked my wife "Why haven't I eaten dog meat yet?!". She looked surprised as most Koreans actually don't really eat it, and said "You want to try it? I'll let my dad know". (Even she's never eaten it...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find online street maps with suburb boundaries on it (mainly for Brisbane)? The boundaries are as plain as day in my printed street directory (UBD) but Google Maps, Whereis and dozens of other websites I've tried don't include them. Thanks, Ian

To whom it may concern, I was viewing a photo in the gallery and clicked the owner's name to send a message, which I did in fact send, thinking it was the same system as "Private Messages" however I have now discovered that it is a completely different message system. (I realised this because...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure what they're called, but I'm thinking of those bricks with holes in them for breezes that make old brick houses look like public toilets. I'm calling them breeze blocks until I find out the real name. See here for an example (in this case they're grey)...
