Re: MotoGP Phillip Island - wot no accomodation?

Thanks for that but all these search engines (including asiarooms) that show accomodation as available are in fact misleading. I must have booked 20 places in the past couple of months only for them...

Re: MotoGP Phillip Island - wot no accomodation?

Sound about right. Maybe we'll be able to get a cancellation nearer the time, else we'll just travel down on the Sunday which will take 2 hours from Sunbury. Most of the accomodation seems a...

Re: Moving to Sydney in September

No worries. Also worth sticking your CV on the www.jobserve.com.au site and activating it when you arrive, you can even send it to all the agencies from there anyway.

Re: Moving to Sydney in September

Don't worry, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Most companies seem keen to employ people from Europe and the US as they are generally more highly skilled and work hard!

That would be OK if we all had Foxtel for films, but the reason I signed up for it was to watch Premiership football, Motorcyle GP and World Superbikes. It wasn't much of a saving to just have the...

Re: Egg shareholders?

After the season we've had (lowest finish since 1966) I think we have been playing a team of donkey's!!!

Still, 1966, World Cup in Germany....maybe it's a lucky omen :-)

Re: Egg shareholders?

Yes, but this buyback excluded residents in Australia, USA, Canada and Japan. So we weren't given any option to convert to Pru shares. Can't sell the Egg shares either, as they have ceased trading on...

Re: Motorbike purchase in UK or Aus ?

They are definately cheaper here in Oz...and Harley's and Buells are very popular as well, so that keeps prices competetive. Send one of the dealers an email and ask for a price on a Buell:

Re: Motorbike purchase in UK or Aus ?

Well, with the costs of shipping, and getting it through the reg testing I reckon it'll be cheaper, and certainly less hassle, to buy a new one here on arrival.
