This is why I travel with a 3mtr & 5mtr charger cord.

Pullman Homebush is the most recent hotel room with a power point on DHs side of the bed but not mine. Very annoying.

Fed up hotel guest takes matters into his own hands
A FRUSTRATED businessman came up with the perfect solution to the “first world problem” of not having a plug socket near his hotel bed — by rearranging the Premier Inn room entirely.

This is a pet peeve of mine.

I was reminded today that the shooting victims in Vegas, if they don't have health insurance they are facing bankruptcy for medical care.

Which explains the many go fund me accounts,not just for families that have funeral bills.

If the situation wasn't bad enough, add financial worries.

Back in 1994 Tom Petty became important in my life.My partner in the practice I found out was not a nice person.I told him I was going to report him to the Medical Board.I was placed under a lot of pressure with the Private Hospital even telling me I would not be able to continue there if I did that.
For some reason the local radio station began playing one of his songs and it became my anthem.On one occasion I was driving into the hospital and it started.So I put the windows down and turned up the volume-

It doesn't even begin to explain the stupidity of humanity. There's too much senseless killing.

That is just so wrong.... I would guess the shooter probably has no or very minimal assests to make financial remuneration... The govt has to step in and make this right.

Sorry, WMW, where's the AFF interest in posting pictures and names reported of a woman and details on AFF of an event in the US. AND especially items reported on twitter or early reports of a massacre?

IMHO many of these posts should be deleted by MODs.

The details will be revealed in the fullness of time on reputable news outlets. What's the point in posting nebulous stuff on AFF?

Can you imagine the upkeep on those castles. I think I would prefer the maintenance on a Mt Druitt property

Nope. Im not going to Mt Druitt, and I worked there for years. Gave up my job the day I went to the bank and there was a guy sharpening his machete in front of the bank and everyone was running away.

Recent house sale in the'Druitt was advertised as "just a few streets away from the Police Station". Thats the house highlight.

Just back from staying with a friend in very rural France - she has her 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house on the market for about 100,000 euros and is almost ready to just walk away from it - lots of bargains there and the upkeep nowhere near that of a castle

AFAIK details released by the authorities asking for assistance. It is relevant as she is an Australian Citizen and was a potential suspect who could have been in Australia.

500 injured, 59 dead, damage to hotel blah blah blah.... even Gates and Zucker'whatever wouldnt have enough to cover this by the time the court process (families suing estate) is over.

Edit: add class action of 18+K people now having PTSD and unable to attend large gatherings/concerts ect.
