Re: Transport to Perth Airport - WTF?

Public transport to Perth Airport? :rofl:
Try a taxi for $35 or so. Make sure you know how

Re: Glasgow Rangers likely to fold

Do you seriously imagine the SNP give a toss about a Union Jack and St Georges flag waving club and supporters such as Rangers? There's very few votes for independence coming from them.

Re: how far does ~$65k get you in Queensland?
