We bought a Samsung 3D bluray thing a few months back and it was region locked. I Googled for an unlock code and it worked. Happy days.

Police should be catching real criminals.

They should name him Dappy.

Well, so we're led to believe.

That escalated quickly.

Yes, I am having trouble containing mine.

Ours was; Gas $0 (don't have gas) Elec $290

Yeah look on the job websites there's usually some jobs advertised on there.

I wouldn't use them just because of there annoying advert and that bloke that could be out acted by a scarecrow.

Keyboard warrior. You go girl.

They're average speed cameras afaik. Can't be working as there need to be more than one set. Seem pointless on a road full of intersections and lights in both directions.

They solved that issue back it 1952.

Just drive really fast and then stop just before the camera for 30secs.

Lol at spending $720 a month on water. Jealous. You could buy a new lawn for that every month.

Ours is an 80's double brick house with gaps around the windows. We do have some roof insulation though lol.

No, but we are renting at the moment so just pay for usage. So not really comparable to many I suppose. Good to know how much the 'real' bill will be though once we buy.

To add a bit more helpful information rather than ranting on about how cheap my electric is, I have just had a look at my usage. Bills over the past 2 years have varied from $240 to $270 a quarter. I'm with AGL and have the following rates: Summer first 1200kWh 34.914c and Winter first 1200kWh 33.253c. I've never used more than 1100kWh a quarter. AGL also say that we use 41.2% less energy than similar homes in my area. How accurate that is, I can't tell you.

I'm never happy Dan, I'm a Pom. You know that.

If you're hot why would you put the heating on?

Wow. We're not particularly careful with usage and everything is electric as we have no gas. We have reverse cycle heating/cooling and if we're cold/hot then it's on. It's been on about 4 hours a day everyday for the past 6 weeks. The bill may creep up towards $280 in winter but have never had more than that in the 2.5 years here. We're with AGL. Maybe give them a call?

We pay around $250 a quarter for electric (don't have gas) and $30 a quarter for water. Would love to know what people do with their elec, gas and water.

The problem with diesel is that there's often only one pump at the servo. The amount of times I've pulled up and had to play hunt the diesel pump and then realised its over the back on its own is annoying. Some of the newer servos have them integrated but many don't. And there's always someone filling their SUV that's never been off road up with 2million litres to get them to the hub shopping centre so you spend half an hour waiting. So you have to plan ahead a little lol.

Oh I missed that thread. I would have applied. Welcome to the new mod. Make good use of those extra buttons, and the extra income.

I wish I had brought my 4 year old with me. But I quite like the quiet and me and the wife Skype him once a month so he seems happy with that.

The petrol price advertised is for 91ron unleaded. If you own a car the requires 95ron or 98ron you will pay significantly more. Diesel is usually cheaper or the same price as 95ron (which is standard in the UK).
