Parley

It is a shame that a Royal can't make a joke without it becoming a huge issue, and you bringing it up 35 years later.

Coincidentally Philip died on Charles and Camilla's wedding anniversary.

They have a real King George coming up in a few generations so I would be very surprised if he did that. I guess we will find out in a few years.

I doubt that. I'm sure he will stay Charles. The Queen named her heir Charles so she wasn't supersticious. Everyone knows him as Charles. Actually I think the days of Kings and Queens picking new names is a historical thing and unlikely to happen again.

Who will send a telegram to the Queen when she turns 100 ?

The makers of The Crown have said it won't go up to present day. It will end about 20 years ago.

I wonder if Harry and Meghan will fly back for the funeral. Could be a bit tense.

A sad day for the Royal Family.

Prince Philip has died. RIP.

Victoria opened up to international travellers yesterday, so the Airlines will start flying in again.

Both my UK and Australian passport have expired and i haven't renewed them yet. There is no point renewing a passport until you are planning a trip otherwise you are just wasting money, losing years on a passport you aren't using. Actually the Australian passport office has lost many millions this year because people cannot travel and have not been renewing their passports.

Further to above I don't think it is a glitch but intended. I checked their website and the live sweeps from USave to USpend don't happen for in store purchases. They say this is a security measure

You need to have a USpend account but you can deposit the $200 into either the USave account or the USpend is my understanding. I only ever send deposits to my USave. I keep the minimum balance on the USpend set at $200 and then it automatically sweeps money into the USpend when the balance drops below $200. The only thing i have found is it can glitch at times. It is supposed to in real time sweep money from USave to Uspend if you don't have enough in USpend for a purchase. I have had a few transaction declines for that reason. Overall though it is a good savings account.

If your job is to implement government policy then you should do it. Not be a big mouth talking directly against your employer.

I live in hope.
