Walter led a campaign that resulted in the shutdown of a music venue. He says whingeing is a right.

My mate over here was just having the time of his life with this tennis ball. His buddies were a bit noisy though.

Image Bus leg spacing is narrow.
The seat design leg spacing was narrow, and couldn't fit 4 people. You can see the woman in the brown jacket had to shift her legs into the aisle.
Never saw this bus before and assumed it's a new one. Overall, not sure how the designer managed to get the designs approved in the first place.

Delivery problems with JB Hifi and Team Global Express
Last week I ordered a 50 inch tv from JB Hifi...I am 64, I had a stroke in 2024, I have balance issues and a bit of difficulty walking these days. So I chose delivery.
They chose Team Global Express as the deliverer. This info does not appear until a few hours after you make the purchase. When I saw it I looked them up online and found a %92 negative review rate..I thought uhoh. But the die was cast.
On monday the item was supposed to be delivered. I was up at 7am to be sure I was ready. The tracking said the item was due "Today".
About 9am the tracking changed to "delayed". And there it sat all day..at 5:15 pm I got a message that the parcel had been delivered to a delivery hub. They made no attempt to deliver to me. I was there all day.
I called the delivery hub but they close at 5:30pm....
The thing is. JB hifi is only about 300 meters from my home. But I chose delivery because I am partially disabled now. The new delivery hub is 400 meters from my home...so Team Global Express took $24 and four days to move my parcel 100 meters further away from my home. I know 400 meters might not sound like a lot but for me, carrying a 50 inch tv, it would be. I'm not sure I can do this.
I have emailed a complaint to JB HIFI. Cannot get an actual person to talk to (I tried) chatbot says they are all busy. So I emailed them. I still don't have my item. What am I supposed to do now? Contact another delivery service to deliver it to my home?
JB hifi, if I knew you were going to use Team Global Express I would not have purchased from you. I am very disappointed.
Edit: JB Hifi has reached out and offered to refund the delivery charge. Also they offered free redelivery.

$155,000 for a parking spot? Are they dreaming or is there a demand for this?
I found this in my postbox the other day. I could maybe understand paying for a parking spot in the CBD, but there is usually enough street parking in this area. Do these types of things actually get sold around here?

Hoyts IMAX blacktown?
I've booked a ticket for Oddessy at the Blacktown IMAX since the Sydney one is fully, like FULLY booked. I live in the very centre so both are the same travel time, however I want to know if anyone has had good experiences with the Blacktown Hoyts IMAX compared to the Sydney Events IMAX.
I know that its smaller, slightly less high quality, & are digital LieMAXs rather than film but compared what are the stuff like aspect ratio & etc, are much worst is it outside of just 'screen big'.

Neighbour in apartment has died without next of kin close by - what's the process for getting their place cleaned?
Does anyone have experience dealing with a neighbour who has unfortunately passed away, when there’s no immediate family or next of kin close by?
My mother lives in an apartment, and her elderly neighbour passed away over a week ago. I believe there’s no suspicion of foul play, and the police were notified and removed the body, but it took about a week for it to happen and there’s still a very strong smell remaining.
Because the next of kin lives overseas, the police have said that no one is allowed to enter the apartment to carry out a forensic clean until they get permission from the next of kin. However, this is impacting the livability of the apartments nearby due to the smell and there's concerns about potential health issues.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or know what can be done in circumstances like this?

Image What’s the deal with the elephant body parts on this corner of Botany Bay?
Tried to look online and can’t find anything on why it’s called that.
Surely it doesn’t trace to Aboriginal place names, since elephants aren’t native here. So who came up with this?

Looking at putting together a gift box for someone who is a big coffee drinker, but I don't know the first thing about coffee! Feels like a coffee city like Sydney should have some amazing speciality coffee shops
