General Is there anywhere I can find more stats regarding the City to Surf?

0 Upvotes

I'm a massive stats geek, so I'd love to know if there's a page with information beyond what is just contained on the bluechip website. Stuff like finish times for each wave. (This is the main one, I ran just under an hour from wave 3 and I'm curious as to where that would place me if I entered wave 1 next year)

Looking for Advice Difficulties of Changing Names?

• Upvotes

Hello! Just wondering has anyone recently had to change their name? And was it a challenging process social and legally??

Looking through the subreddit the last post about this was 4 years ago and the comments were facing struggles with some companies (st johns, Telstra, ATO, to name some) wouldn’t accept it unless they sent the form with lawyers approval ect? Is this still prevalent?

And would I have to pay for everything again, such as drivers license renewals, passports, etc ?

For context im a 17 year old guy who is about to finish high-school and like many others aren't sure what to do. I was considering going into a trade but none of them really strike me as very interesting, the WA police seems like an interesting career that would give you lots of insight and interesting experiences compared to other jobs. I don't do ATAR but im not an idiot either. Are you or anyone you know already in the police force and if so do you/they enjoy its and what are the pros and cons ect. Thank you!

General Random people approaching me and asking about my culture and religion?

25 Upvotes

So this has happened to me twice now, once in the Perth CBD a couple weeks and just today at Uni. I was minding my own business and two people approached me, claiming they're doing a survey about culture and religion. (Mind you, I'm as white as a piece of paper). The first question both of them asked was about my culture and if I have travelled, and then they began asking about my religion (of course I'm not stupid enough to answer those questions).

Has anyone else had this experience? It was really weird and quite uncomfortable. They never spoke about a church or wrote any notes down, just asked questions....

Renting / Housing Rental house problems

4 Upvotes

Hello,
I’ve been renting a house for 1 year and half. One of the bedroom has got a saggy ceiling so is not safe to use, now the kitchen is starting to sag too around certain points.
They remove my attached garage and build a separate self contained bedroom, completely remove my rear garden and patio, due to works in the rear garden I’m starting to have mouses issue (found dropping’s).
For a break lease they want me to cover the expenses of looking for the new tenants, but no one is gonna be renting a place like this.
What can I do? How much they can charge if they can’t find another tenant?

Renting / Housing Solicitor vs Conveyancer

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

My husband and I have made an informal offer on a property in WA and have now received the formal Offer & Acceptance (O&A).

We’re both first-home buyers and this would be an owner-occupied property. We’re a bit unsure about the process and wanted to get some advice from people who have been through it before.

Do you generally have a solicitor review the O&A before signing, or is a settlement agent/conveyancer sufficient?
We’ve spoken to a settlement agent who advised that they can only do a cursory check and that a solicitor would need to review the contract if we want legal advice.

Just trying to make sure we’re doing things properly before signing anything. Thanks!

Thought we’d try this place for late dinner , paid for direct delivery , driver turns up to the “restaurant” (which is actually someone’s house) , the driver is literally there for 25 minutes telling me “the restaurant is busy” …. After a further 15 minutes the driver starts to head towards me. When I get the food it firstly smelt not very pleasant and was COVERED in sauce . The whole situation seems very dodgy , I’d stay well away , wraps looked nothing like advertised… and I mean NOTHING . We didn’t even take one bite . Straight in the bin. Such a waste of time and money.

- this place is on uber eats

Where to find Good mechanic North of the River

Hi I was after some good recommendations for a decent car mechanic NOR. We've had a quote to fix my daughters car and just wanted a 2nd opinion or if there's any mechanics here that can advise if the quote is reasonable, it's an oil leak and the below is the cost to fix it. $2500. Its a 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara (220'000kms). Thanks. At this stage probably not worth repairing.

Disclosure upfront: I'm involved with the retreat running this.

Dr Noel Nannup (Nyoongar Elder, OAM) leads a camping weekend at Yarragin Private Retreat in the Wheatbelt — campfire yarns, Dreamtime stories, Nyoongar astronomy, and guided cultural walks through granite country while the wildflowers are still around.

Family-friendly, and it's not just tents either, camper vans and caravans are fine too if that's more your thing.

Self-drive, self-catered, one night out under the stars. Numbers kept small on purpose.

Two dates:

Sept 12–13

Sept 19–20

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Has anyone here got solar and battery from them? Got a quote today and the price seems very good but I'm more worried about workmanship as we just got our whole roof redone last year so warranty for the roof will most likely be voided once we get solar done.

Seems the main office is in NSW, so wondering who they outsource to, for SOR melville area
