Doesn't booko just compare websites' prices?

I generally buy my books from the book depository, free (albeit fairly slow) postage.

Ok so moving out my flat in Melbourne and I've successfully removed five frame hangers. get to the sixth and bang off comes a piece of the paint from the wall about the size of a 20 cent piece. campaigner. What's my plan of attack?

- putty
- polyfilla
- paint

i've got the crack that came off but it too has cracked itself into about 8 different pieces. not sure how big a piece they need to colour match.

easier just to get someone else in to do it? approximately how much is that going to cost?

or do I just leave it to the real estate and tell them to take out of the bond. real estate chick is a bitch. got no doubt she'll try to rip me off.

If it were me I'd do it myself. Just fill it up with a bit of filler. If its a basic colour it should be easy. If its something a bit different you can take a small chip of paint off, go down to Bunnings and match it to a colour then get them to make a bit.

I would be talking to a manager and informing them that your contract is up. I would then ask to see in your contract where it says there is a mandatory cancellation fee.

Oh it's in there. Beleive me :/

There was a memorial plaque for a teacher at Knox known to have wandering hands, with the inscription "He touched us all". Am I going to hell because I find that rather funny?

 

[Quivorir]

No. You'd be going to hell if you didn't find it funny.

Trying to find a product for my old man but can't for the life of me think what you'd call it.

I've seen at a couple of Bunnings BBQ's. It's metallic and it's a series of triangles and you place your sausage roll in them so they don't fall everywhere.

Basically looks like this

[The Passenger]

Yep that it's. What would you call it?

EDIT: Seen your post. Sweet. My bro works with sheet metal. He could make that easy.

What's wrong with a napkin?

It works too, but on it's own stuff still rolls around and falls everywhere.

Any tips on traveling alone?

Probably will only be by myself for a day or two, but wouldn't mind some helpful tips as the thought of it shits my pants.

And also coming back home by myself so tips for that would be great.

I would cancel the direct debit, if that's how you pay it, before politely informing the gym that they may go forth and multiply, or words to that effect.

ive read reviews of the gym i am a member of who said the same thing, cancel direct debit or close the account. however, reviewer then said somehow the gym started taking money from his new account despite not knowing about it!

gyms are dodgy as !

if you are traveling in west africa, going solo is the least of your worries. otherwise,

walk around the area and get familiar with surroundings. take note of dark laneways and stores that maybe a safe haven

dont speak english to the locals like they are slow learners or mentally ******ed.
do not walk around with earphones/headphones in/on. experience the environment! besides listening to music wont allow you to be aware of things that might be coming at you
put hands in pockets and ensure you are always touching your wallet/phone.
if you go to a bar, do NOT get fresh with local girls. chances are they're part of a syndicate to rob you. i dont care if girl 1 says she sucks like a hoover, and girl 2 says she wants to taste what you had for lunch yesterday while girl 1 does her thing.
locate mcdonalds in the area, if for nothing else other than knowing where a toilet is
try not to make eye contact with people on the street. lucky you have small eyes so it wont be a problem.
if it is all too much, stay in hotel. if its dodgy, do webcam with someone and leave it running all night in case you are kidnapped or something, at least he/she will see it.

lastly have fun

I will do everyone of those things except not get scammed by local girls. I'll roll the dice with that

Where are you going?

Sydney-siders

Is the Rydges (it's just off Elizabeth St) a good location in terms of the CBD?

You are pretty much right in the heart of Sydney. Can walk across Hyde Park to the bars of Oxford Street. A long-ish (~2km) walk to Circular Quay. About half that distance to Darling Harbour.

You can walk the CBD itself real easy, it's maybe 3km from Central Station to Circular Quay. Maybe 1.5km from Hyde Park to Darling Harbour.

The problem with Sydney is when you want to go to one or more of the surroundings areas - Bondi, Kings X, Eastern Beaches, Newtown/Inner West, Manly, North Shore - they are all a fair distance apart and getting from one to the other is a pain in the ass.
