Just a couple of thoughts to consider: CGT is always going to be payable anyway - even at death it passes to the inheriter. But there are…

Well he's probably paid more taxes than the rest of us, so seems reasonable to me

You can't even trust approaching green lights. There are moron good samaritans out there that will stop dead to let in someone waiting to…

Because if you ram me because I cut you off, I'll be calling the police and have no doubt you'll be done for multiple offences.…

But just to be clear, your contribution to the repair cost of both vehicles, if you had rammed them, would have been more than replacing…

We had friends who basically told thier kids it was time to leave once they started establishing thier own independant lives. I couldn't…

I agree to a point - I def want to get a bidet at home. But for public toilets, for reasons I think mutually agreed above, paper please.

A better stat would be most popular operating system for servers, and a better question would be why does Linux even have a GUI when it's…

I don't understand the confusion. The alternative to giving way to someone on your left is what - go through them? It seems obvious to me.…

I didn't even see them before they were gone. I'd heard thier name a couple of times and was quite surprised we had a new airline, but…

Not sure what this list is exactly, but I wasn't impressed with Vigin having no money to pay creditors but being back in business without…

I can't think of a meal that wouldn't be improved with chips

Or waiting for public system. To me, it's enough to give me the confidence to go without insurance. If something happens, then I weigh the…

Just letting you know, the sporty life might entail some injuries, but increases life expectancy. Your extremely sedentary lifestyle…

My biggest medical expense was ~ $10K, and it's only happened once in decades of theoretically accumulating $100/month. Personally, I'd go…

Actually, it's risk transfer, and that's a scam in my book. The only way to win with insurance if for something terrible to happen to you.…

MLS is much more if you're 25. Not if you're 50+ and never had PHI. I reckon you need to decide when you're young whether you're going to…

I would never trust an insurance company or a broker to get me the best deal. Even if a bundle is cheaper this year, I'd be checking my…

You just need to determine your appetite for risk, and decide whether you'd rather pay an insurance company to take it. I've always insured…

eeyore eeyore he always makes that mistake

I got caught once. Was told the date I would be made redundant, was even given time to look for new job. I found a new job and committed to…

Sounds like OP dodged a bullet. As I heard recently, "when you escape from a bear's cave, don't go back for your hat". As for a council…

Well you'd agree the smoking has reduced, right? So what then, it wasn't the smoking causing the lung cancer?? Smoking isn't so bad after…

But they achieved goal of reducing lung cancer patients in hospitals. With all the money they rake in from exorbitant speeding fines…

Only because people are willing to give their money away. I'm surprised anyone here would speed. I would just keep increasing the fines.…

Totally agree that OP has to pay. I just don't agree that it is a neggable offense to forget to change address. I've done the same. Having…

I once got pulled over driving an allegedly unregistered car in NSW, and the cop allowed me to continue my trip to QLD. (However, I'd paid…

Oh, were you not expecting the 2nd set of fines? My take is that the cop was always going to fine you again for the offense, but doing you…

I don't know why you're being downvoted. (Other than some can't read and assumed you knew of first fines.) I feel for you. No rego sticker…

It's harsh. Is there any limit to how many camera the can plant? e.g. a ticket every 5 metres. But I don't have a problem with it. I just…
