BobLim commented on A Local Resident Is Blocking Public Road Parking
Take the cones to the local police station as lost property. You can cite the $100M economic impacts mentioned above. Just being a…

Pretty unlikely. Maybe $12 at a stretch but it wouldn't be as frequent. Not interested in a drink bundle to increase it to the $15 either,…

Not keen to spend more than $10 on lunch if I'm in the office, otherwise I'll just bring something from home or not bother at all. Do a…

BobLim commented on [VIC] 5-Pack of Hot Jam Doughnuts $3.75 (Was $11) on Tue 4/3 @ American Doughnut Kitchen (Melbourne 7am-9am / Prahran 8am-10am)
I've got a loyalty card with these guys somewhere that mentions "one stamp per $6 spent" which I think was the price of a bag (as opposed…

bunnybash on iPhone 16 Plus 128GB $1,479.99 Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required) (Price Beat $1,405.99 @ Officeworks)

Lots of companies issue iPhones to employees, and you can bet that when the SE runs out of stock they'll be shifting plenty of these

Fingers crossed! I'm not even expecting to be able to access my own super at that point, so I suppose I'll be either proven correct or…

Sure, and doesn't that gift stop being considered 5 years after it's made? Being many years away from having to plan for such things, I'll…

I'm sure their kids can cover it from the massive piles of cash they were gifted just in time to have it drop off the radar for the pension…

Also contributions to assisted living / aged care etc vs covered by public funds if you have nothing.

Afternoon drivers around the sububs are so much worse than the morning crowd from what I've seen - morning commuters and tradies etc (say…

Roads are maintained using general revenue, not registration or fuel excise etc. Vehicles / drivers creating a disproportionately large…

Sweetnsour on MG ZST Vibe MY25 from $22,888 Driveaway, MG3 Excite MY25 from $21,888 Driveaway @ MG

Absolutely - and this is why I largely didn't bother after the end of the V10s

BobLim commented on Renault SUVs - Arkana and Koleos
I saw one with a jammed transmission blocking all the Route 86 trams on Smith St Fitzroy once? Near the Woolworths, took about 45 mins for…

Ask the office to schedule a 5-10 minute phone call

I willl agree that this scenario is more reasonable than many other examples - no one could physically block you merging even if they…

By any conventional definition, I think you are in a queue, i.e. > Queue: *a line or sequence of people or vehicles awaiting their turn to…

Sure. You can add "or occasional acts which make them feel like they've done a "good deed" even if that has negative consequences to safety…

Interesting. Any source to back that up? Most road authorities refer to the Austroads manuals for guidance.

Extra lanes at intersections increase the technical maximum capacity of the intersection though. According to many commenters here, every…

And there's some, like myself on occasion, who roughly keep track of the vehicles around them and will therefore help someone who's been…

Where did you get this idea from? If there are 3 lanes of heavy traffic moving forward at the same pace, why should it be ok for me to use…

> someone is using the left lane to help traffic flow, No one is doing anything on the road out of their sense of community spirit and to…

BobLim commented on Catch to Cease Trading As Of 30 April 2025
Another annoying comms team at Catch apparently - why is the email titled "An important update from Catch" rather than, say, the same as…

Can reverse itself following the path you drove forwards - perfect for a senior with limited flexibility and maybe declining vision

Exactly

The Roadster was ok too IMO

This is the way. Check in with your peers for 15 minutes a week to make sure you're up to the same section at the same time. Job done,…

You forgot leave loading. Most/all public service and agencies get the very-transferrable leave and LSL but not the time off (at least…
