No doubt you are using the 120 acres to generate an income? I wish I had 120 acres gifted to me. But I do not understand your actual circumstances, so really there may be good reason this block is not terribly useful to you.

So sorry to hear this. No doubt the landlady is covering her own increases ... or simply upping the rent because she can. Unfortunately we find ourselves at the mercy of such people, through life, who end up taking the money from families who otherwise might use it to save for their own...

Was waiting for Jest to put in the usual nasty comment. Not disappointed - another who has no idea of my personal circumstances, or those on anyone else - just the usual navel-gazing comment. Thanks for not missing the opportunity to take the mickey.

Very disingenous statement. Fails to take into account why you can afford to be self funded, and the circumstances of others who have no option than to rely of the goodwill of successive uncaring governments. If you do not qualify for a part pension, then you are doing quite well, thank you...

Both #Spud and #Albozo received $20,000 rises this year on July 1st. That's $770/fortnight. And they call $42 "generous." Their gazetted increases do NOT include travel allowances, accommodation allowances, free and/or very low cost savoury meals, Committee allowances and even hairdressing and...

You've just saved my posting a similar set of observations ... and I suspect echoes the sentiments of many on this site. Many of us have had significant contributory careers, yet through no fault of our own, find ourselves at the mercy of a pension that locks us into poverty. Impossible to save...

Once ran a syndicate @ $5 per entry. Mustered $300 before closing it off. It was for some Gold Lotto jackpot or other. So ... at the time $0.55 game = 545 games. We had 50 games x 10 roughly + a couple of smaller games per ticket to soak it all up. Result was about $16 from memory. Fortunately...

Well I am not sure that the immigrants brought in these insects. But they came in somehow. Maybe some green, freshly-sawn timber was imported with the insects insitu? The theory might hold up, because Australia is desperately short of building materials, and importation of timber products is a...

Here are the stats since 1st January 2024. Started the year with Game 64 on 1st January. Current game drawn in the series was Game 129 on 11th September 2024. Total games 66. But only 65 games valid since Game 67 had no result. SCORES: New Members: .....................................49 wins...

It's all good. Bit of cheek. Just banter - we have to pass the time somehow - Bingo on this site is like watching grass grow!! :sneaky: 😬

It was also reported in the press the same way. They are obviously whipping up sensationalism to get the public to "ooh, aah" again! The threat to wooden buildings is real, however, but I'm not too sure that any of this quarantine stuff is going to stop flying insects. Are they capable of...

The UN is going to be restructured this year. They have 97,000 in their 'peace-keeping' force. How's that going? Say they want to put more women in their 'army.' How many wars has the UN managed to stop since they abolished the League of Nations? The only place they actually kept the peace, was...

UN and WHO seeking relevance again 😂 :ROFLMAO:

From 2GB Ben Fordham: This will blow you away. The cost of pensions owed to public servants is now more than $300 BILLION. That’s almost as much as the AUKUS deal! Listen to the staggering numbers here: . https://omny.fm/shows/ben-fordham-full-show/crazy-money-mind-blowing-cost-of-public-service-pe

Interesting.

Another one who is getting out before the elctorate hangs him! He will never have to face responsibility for the NDIS debacle he created, and allowed to get out of control. What a shameful disgrace. The real people (disabled) who require daily support are being "Short-en" changed now. Shorten...

I'm hurt now. But jokes aside - My wife is the love of my life. She is not well, and all my devotion is for her. This site is just a bit of a relief valve for me. I'm sure it's just a bit of fun cheek-giving for others too, occasionally.

On the way back! 😂 :ROFLMAO: PS - I lied about being a millionaire too. 😂 😂 I was hoping you had the $$ ... you sound wealthy!

It might be $10 for all I know - no one I know has ever won Bingo here. Don't trust my stats ... or my numbers, I make them all up! :sneaky: I got lost the other day (I think) and I told the police who found me, that I lived at number 17 where there is a nice lady I always wanted to say hello...

It's a bit of a joke really. With 300,000 members there is a 1:300000 chance of winning. Would you back a racehorse at those odds? No, no one would, except the bankrupt eternal optimist! 😬 :ROFLMAO: But because you are not a Newby member, your chances are about 1:20000000 Plainly Newbies win...
