An Australian passport is a valid photo ID and doesn't contain your address.

RubenM commented on Makita B-53811 Drill & Screwdriver Bit Accessory Set (100-Piece) $54.84 + Delivery, 2 for $99.81 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU
I don't know seems awefully expensive. I go for expensive tools and cheap consumables.

It'd be an even better thing if they just stopped making screws for one of them. I don't care which one, but having both is the worst.

It's pine, not oak, that's a shame. I built myself a Tassie Oak bed for not much more. Great timber!

Horrible donuts. (not downvoting because this is obviously a subjective opinion).

Am I the only one who thinks this looks a bit scammy and massively overpriced? (Very happy to be proved wrong, by the way)

Thanks that makes it even worse. 6.09% comparison rate is pretty bad. It's that high because it goes up by 0.6% after two years. 5.39% with…

6.09% CR isn't great, especially when factoring in the implied rate cuts of ~1.25% for the majority of the fixed period:…
