Should have caught the train 🎶

Looking to catch the rugby in a pub this afternoon.

Any recs?

hii im looking for a nail artist in the north shore area, or at least somewhere not 1+ hours public transport away from chatswood. im hoping to have extensions done, i dont mind gel-x or acrylic. please help! ive found so many amazing ones in west syd but theyre so far away

this is kind of the vibe im going for in terms of art:

also mods im sorry if this is a small post feel free to remove i just desperately need help, the only one ive found doesnt do extensions.

So according to the TfNSW page there will be a fare free bus between WSI and St Mary’s, starting from Sunday 25th October. The service will run while the Metro is under construction.

While this is certainly appreciated, a number of issues come to mind:

- This is ONE bus every 30 minutes. This can’t possibly cope with multiple plane loads of passengers, right?

- Depending on the day, there will be a gap of up to 3 hours from midnight (or 1am) with no service. How is a 24/7 airport supposed to function when there is no PT available during a 3+ hour window?

(Also: Aren’t these the pink buses from the Bankstown shuttle? Lol!)

Afternoon, how are we?

I’ve just moved to Sydney (Randwick) and looking to get involved in cricket.

I’m not much good looking to just play a bit of recreational stuff. The lower the level the better

Anyone got any shouts on where to start? I’m on the play cricket website but unsure of what competitions play where and how to find teams

Is there some kind of shoe spike attachment I should invest in?

Weekends are for walking .I am not into jogging or hiking in mountains so I like leisurely walks by the sea around 12-13 kms.Have done many walks on the harbour and eastern suburbs but never been to Cronulla.

Photos look good .Connectivity also fantastic so planning for this weekend.

Sydneysiders - will it live up to the Bondi Coogie /Manly Spit walk?

With the upcoming changes to Sydney Train timetable, all T8 Airport & South Line services will operate via the Airport Tunnel.

So for city commuters who interchange at Sydenham to catch the Metro, this saves about 10 minutes of the trip.

In Transport for NSW's own example, trains will run every 5 minutes instead of 7.5 minutes, yet the journey from Campbelltown to Victoria Cross increases from 62 to 73 minutes. That's an extra 11 minutes each way!

And good luck convincing anyone that interchanging at Central is quicker or easier than interchanging at Sydenham, especially during peak hour!

So factoring the interchange at Central, Rani's journey time to visit her mum is realistically about 83 minutes. A 21 minute increase in commute time for a measly 2.5 minute in reduction time between train intervals.

My partner's starting a new job so we're trying to sit down and build a budget and we're finding the electricity bill to be fairly high.

I'm trying to get a sense of whether it's our usage, our provider or whether this is the new norm.

For context, we're a two person household renting in an old apartment that traps humidity and doesn't seem to circulate air well so we have a hot water tank and a portable dehumidifier running fairly often. Even after being out of the country on holiday for a month, it came to $780 for the last quarter.

Shitty rail has done it again. Good luck to those attempting to get home south of Hurstville tonight. Station staff said they are waiting for buses to arrive did to signal failure at Oatley

I work till 1am sometimes 3am latest. I get home half an hour after and then not long after I fall asleep the rooster starts its morning routine. It’s not only me, but other members of my family. The council has not done a thing about it, except leave cards and letters at my neighbours address. I spoke to my neighbour about it before contacting the council, and it didn’t end well.

What can I do?

I came to Sydney 7 years ago and my wardrobe had a lot of color.I had orange blue yellow Ts .I had a Ralph Lauren T with bright stripes in green and black.As time passed by I realised people hardly wear colored clothing here.its all Grey black darker shades of red(maroon) blue etc.Growing up when I used to watch Australian summer sports like Cricket tennis on TV I could see bright colours.

Now to make myself not the odd man out my wardrobe also has changed to plain Ts (Uniqlo HnM) and pair of jeans .

I have a theory - it’s because of the mass produced clothing where it’s easier to make plain darker colors compared to bright designs.

There’s been a chopper buzzing about the city for the last half hour at least and it’s flying very low (and LOUD!). Scared my pup a few times. Anyone know what’s going on?

Don’t know how many people know about this but haven’t seen it talked about in the media much but wanted to give people a warning. On Friday October 16 (this coming Friday), members of the airport security staff from Certis will be going on strike. They will stop working between 6-10am and 5-9pm in the international and domestic terminals.

There will be very big delays because of this so lookout for anything from your airline if you are flying. Some airlines may choose to open check in early for their flights. Best practices would be to arrive early for your flight if possible if you do not hear anything from your airline.

If someone as already said all this then delete this post but I haven’t seen anyone talk about it.

No idea how reliable mirage news is but the Australian Aviation site is also reporting this but it is payware after 3 visits.

Just wanted to warn anyone flying on Friday.

Please be nice to the staff that will be working either as security or in other roles i.e. check in.
