explax

I've lived abroad for 2.5 years in Australia and potentially going to move back in the next year and try and buy a house when I move back. I had thought id need a bit of residency (6months or whatever) to prove proof of income but ive been reading that some lenders want years more residency... Before then id been a UK resident all my life as a UK citizen with a credit history.

Anyone got any experience of this?

For the life of me I can't understand why they aren't allowing the MLB network stream outside of the USA. I guess it's to do with whatever international deals they've got going on but it is really frustrating. Anyone else want this or is it just me.. ESPN Australia sometimes carries MLBN Strikezone and Quickpitch but a 24/7 stream is not available..

Is there anywhere in Brisbane (preferably city/inner suburbs, or northside) where I can get a design printed on to a T-Shirt today?

Or in the cbd/valley where I can pick up during the week?

One upon a time (some years ago) mlb Gameday and Gameday audio (now at-bat?) was much closer together. Does anyone know if there is anyway to sync these better? Has anyone subscribed to TuneIn premium to see if they are any closer? This really, really spoils the product.

Hi there,

I've got a Camry '14 Atara and had it for a while but I've noticed that my fuel economy is absolutely nowhere close to 7.8L/100km as the top of the range of the fuel economy. I get 9.4L/100km highway w/Cruise Control.

Is this worth exploring?

I moved to Australia a few days before the end of the tax year and started working, however I didn’t get paid for these days until the next payroll in July. I don’t have a payment summary for last tax year. On the ato form nothing is pre-filled so I assume I just submit a nil return?

I wouldn’t need to pay any tax on it anyway as id have been well within the tax free allowance.

I'm looking at insurance for a used car I'm hopefully picking up next week. It's a 2013 Camry - generally good bodywork but on the driver's door it has paint missing exposing the chrome underneath from the very edge of the side which swings out - looks like someone got something caught in the car door or it got opened up on to a wall or something.

This is really very minor but when I fill in some car insurance quotes (suncorp for example) it refuses to give a price at all.

Some insurers in their PDS say you must fix all paint issues etc but others don't mention it at all.

Is this really a reason they wouldn't pay out on an unrelated claim - even if it really is just a cosmetic issue it

Looking at 3 Subaru Libertys as they seem okay but heard that there could be some head gasket issue in some models.

Found a 2005 model $8.5k (200km) and a 2010 model (3.6R Premium 5GEN) for $14k (145k) and a 2013 (2.5i) for $14k (125k).

Some cosmetic issues on the 2010 model but very nice inside, 2005 vehicle looks well looked after but is the age an issue now?

Simple question really.

Why/why not? What proportion of people do you think wear a watch?

Hi everyone,

Wonder if anyone can help me here or point me in the right direction to help me make a decision.

I already contribute to a help to buy ISA which is considered a cash ISA.

If I open a S&S ISA today I assume I can fund it with the rest of my allowance. Looking for mostly relatively low risk investment for next 2 years so was going to buy mostly government bonds (is there a minimum amount for this?) and maybe a few quid in some lower risk ETF?

Does this sound a sensible lower risk approach? I'd like to buy a property in a couple of years and I've pretty much saved up my entire deposit but I'm not in the position to buy just yet but I don't want a risky investment to reduce

During this CoL crisis looking for ways to cut back... And I used to get stubbies, or you'd go to a BBQ and thered be a couple of boxes of stubbies for people to tuck in to if they'd not BYOB..

Brands like Biere speciale from Tesco, Biere de moulins and the other very similar beers at other supermarkets. I've not seen them in Sainsbury's or Tesco for ages... Are they now relegated to the absolutely huge stores now? Seem to be available online but I've not seen them in supermarkets in ages.

Hello all - was just wondering if anyone has come across this issue before.

I am likely to move to Australia next year, however I am considering to go on holiday 'on the way' there. I cannot seem to find a travel insurer that is suitable as they all seem to require you to be a resident of the UK and that the origin and return of the trip is to the UK. Does anyone know of any products that are suitable?

Been offered a job in Australia and have a partner for 2years. We don't live together because she lives with family members and I live nearby. We have evidence of joint travel, photos, recognition from friends and family of our relationship etc so I suspect with the advice given by employer, she would be eligible to be a subsequent entrant on my temp skilled shortage visa however due to various commitments they do not wish to enter Australia for 6-9months after my arrival. What's the normal 'latest entry' date that is normally given on these sorts of visas?

She would be eligible for a WHV and as UK citizen, and in theory at some point the designated work condition for year 2 is meant to be
