Apparently nothing tells you something. An inordinate number of consumers have experienced issues with Roborock’s wifi. If you’re not…

Yes, it’s an established brand with recurring, documented wifi issues.

Thanks. We got out from Amazon, so there were no issues with a refund. Roborock tech support was fairly limp, being hard to get hold of and…

We had nothing but problems with our Roborock. It refused to connect to wifi, which is apparently a know problem to judge by animated…

No children allowed, unfortunately. It’d be a hell of a bargain family holiday otherwise.

No visa required for Australian citizens.

I preferr the Coens’ depiction of Anton Chigurh. McCarthy fleshes him out too much. It’s a good book made into a great movie.

Nobody’s going to fall for that one again.

Yes, though I found the movie - one of my all-time favourites - better than the book.

That’s an interesting point. But don’t you risk getting refused accommodation if you show up with an unbooked baby in tow?

Lovely suggestion. Unfortunately we’d have to get a new car - Kia Rios can barely tow a wheelbarrow.

Thanks for all of these suggestions. I mostly agree that overseas travel is wasted on the young. To me, ‘travel’ means exploring places…

So it looks like another squealing bundle of joy and bills will pop up (or out) next month. I’m big on travelling, but some of the prices…

I’ve driven rental MG3s around Tasmania and the outback. They’re gutless but they get you from A to B. Just be aware that the fuel tank…

Which alternatives do you suggest? We have a small person on the way.

Interesting. I see Bank of Jordan supposedly accepts non-residents as customers. Did you set up the card in Amman or from abroad?

And just wait till you try uninstalling all their bloated apps. I’m still purging files a year after ridding myself of Adobe. Even Revo…

Yes, it’s the government’s fault. I have personally visited Albanese’s office and seen the big dials on his desk marked INFLATION,…

Ring lost us with their absurdly overpriced subscription plans.

So if this is a bit of a rip-off and Budget Direct are like getting blood out of stone, who do people recommend for car insurance?

Thanks! Sounds like a viable option for us. Was it crowded?

I’d definitely research the DFO shuttle a little before relying on it for your next expensive overseas jaunt. It might prove to be more…

It’s usually pretty quiet and a couple of suitcases will fit perfectly fine. The main issue with the #901 is its erratic frequency that…

Every dollar spent on a Tesla goes straight to the pocket of Donald Trump’s main enabler.

Make sure you tell that to your insurance company when people scratch swastikas into your small-willie Cybertruck.

Driving a Tesla in 2025 is like driving a Volkswagen in 1935. You’re making a public political statement and must live with the…

Is there anyway of doing the American leg via Canada or Latin America - eg Toronto or Buenos Aires?

As a rule, the more wrinkles on the HJ barista, the better the coffee. The more pimples, the worse.

Coles (Reddy Express) sell by far the best automated servo coffee in town. 7-Eleven’s tastes like old homeless man’s sweaty feet in…

Thanks. It looks solid enough. Does it keep water cool as well as a traditional double-walled metal bottle?
