unzippy

I suppose so, I've never looked into it. I've always had a little media PC plugged into the telly, useful for torrents, WFH etc. Just what I'm used to.

Sorry, I meant using the Chromecast to replace the smart functions that the telly lost. If I want to watch UK stuff on the big screen via vpn, I have a PC connected to the telly via HDMI, run the VPN on the PC then fire up iPlayer etc on the PC.

Our smart LG telly went dumb when it realised it was no longer in the UK. iPlayer, ITV etc stopped working. YouTube was ok but that's about it. There are ways around by setting up a vpn specifically for the telly, to trick it that it's back in the UK (https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/set-up-vpn-smart-tv/) The easiest fix that doesn't involve buying a new one is using a Chromecast or apple tv to get your content on to the TV.

Better than what you're used to!

Headed to Hobart to escape the Aussie chase ball final. The best little little pub in Hobart that has no telly screens, had their normal Saturday afternoon music session and their usual excellent beer. Bliss.

Commute

From what I heard, the rent renewal came through at an absolute joke of a price. So they upped and left. But yes, it's a massive ball ache having to communicate to Geelong, turned a 20min journey into 1hr20

PS It's not an exchange. You do the paperwork, show the UK licence but then it is returned to you. You keep it

Right. Maybe comment after you've got got some real life experience?

Yep, I know it - one of my favourite fishing spots is just down the road from the Shipwrights! https://goo.gl/maps/wFau2Ga79xzdrjQ48

Very nice, was Hadley's where you had lunch too?

This scheme is open again, even if you applied first-time round you can still get another $250

Is it a thing in Aus then, you switch your pension like you would car insurance?

Only ones I've seen in Melbourne are attached to draught taps, not pump.
