for newer people, be very careful about rosebery, yorker has been talking it up for some time, but I would do plenty of research before even considering investing there.

Is it really all that hard to lead in times when a culture of fear is so strongly sold to the public? ie terrorism and national security? History shows Australians don’t like changing leaders in times of fear/war…

The best thing that happened for Howard last time was the Tampa (culture of fear/the refugees are queue jumping) this time it’s the…[Read more]

Hello all,

Well, an interesting read, even though IMHO, some contributors are in danger of disappearing up their own arse with such patronising undertones that come through at times.
How some can assume to know so much about others simply through reading a post on a web forum is beyond me. But, horses for courses, and if those people want to be…[Read more]

don’t you mean proposed “tollway” Felicity?

ps get your hot chooks later in the night, they’re usually half price

emcdonald…. different mindset??? er, um, to quote Pauline Hanson “Please explain?”

line of credit ain’t bad, but you have to use it for the right things… don’t blow it on trinkets and spur of the moment stuff (ie big screen TVs)… use it to invest and you’ll be okay…

have you checked out http://www.westpoint.com.au ? sounds like it could be them

Yorker, what’s your point of difference to what’s already in the market place? There’s already quite a few mobs offering reports, of varying quality.

If you notice I said redeem “slightly”… also, Paul Barry is not quite the journo he makes himself out to be…

oh, good point, I’m clearly an absent minded fool hehehe…

okay then, so I can save some face… what about Bondy when he appeared “mentally ill” at his trials? I guess at least Bondy stayed and went to prison though, so maybe that redeems him slightly… mind you, he’s flying again these days and is making millions again…

Yeah except I think Rivkin is genuinely ill… I doubt Skase was.

I have to agree with monopoly… I encourage secretgnome to get out and have a crack, but it’s good to rip the sugar off the coating and be given a dose of reality at times from people who have been around for a while.

being conservative and boring, I would say pay off the credit card through a combination of salary and selling your boat and start saving as much as you can… clearly you’ve got some bad savings habits, and those habits are always some of the best ones to break…

also don’t be in too much of a hurry to get into property at the moment… take…[Read more]

Hello

I work at Channel 9, pm me if you like and I’ll put you in touch with A Current Affair (I work in news… separate office altogether)

yeah but she refuses to give me mouth to mouth on request, oh well…

My wife’s a paramedic, so I’m biased, but they are definitely heroes (or heroines)…

This one was on the web for quite a few weeks, but is now under offer…
