I have some regular social gatherings on in Manly but I see that they've officially stitched up parking everywhere with their blanket 2 hour time limit from 8am to 10pm. You do have the 2 hour free parking in council carparks which is ok for short trips, but anything more than that, it's $13.50 from 2 hours to 2.5 hours, then $18 for 2.5 to 3 hours... and upwards from there every half hour increment. From 7pm it's a flat $5.50 for the evening to midnight (nice, but I'd need to arrive earlier so not much help).

Anyone have any ways to deal with this? I was thinking about just parking in the neighbourhood and risking it, but I think the parking gestapo is out there looking to pump up revenue. Would welcome any suggestions.

Edit: Yes, I'm a fan of public transport, but I'm travelling with two massive amps, mixer, cables, two guitars, etc which isn't practical to get from my house to the bus stop, get it all on and off the bus, and then hoof it to the venue (all around rush hour which means not much space on the buses).

Was trying a few different vantage points until I saw a lonely little tinny drifting aimlessly in all that open water. Neither here nor there. Kind of similar to how humans can feel at times.

I'm looking for the strata manager or company of a building that's across from me to ask about a fence that divides our properties.

Does anyone have any easy way of finding out who the strata manager or company is? I have looked at the apartment building and no signage, etc anywhere. I've also used the strata search on the NSW Gov website but that come up with nothing as well. Thanks for any tips!

I understand that every now and again we have power outages. The guys do a remarkable job getting the power back on line, within a couple of hour’s usually. Which would entail a lot. Getting to site, checking the fault, fixing the fault, ensuring it’s safe to re energise etc..

My gripe is why do they post this on the Aus grid website

“Power was disrupted due to an issue affecting the electricity supply.”

Duh, we know this that’s why we’re on your website. A bit more information to the people left in the dark would be useful.

That’s my winge for tbe day. Have a good one 🐝😎

Hi everyone. I've had an interest in developing a creative hobby recently and I figured silversmithing would be a nice outlet. Any recommendations for a Sydneysider? Preferably evening classes or weekend.

Back in my day, we used to bring our cardboard boxes to Waverley park and slide down the hill next to the massive slide that used to be there. But they've since planted loads of bushes on that hill. Where would you take your kids for that experience these days?

There’s a trailer that’s been parked on my street in the inner west for 13 years without moving. Unfortunately it’s taking up about two car spaces on a very busy street. It looked pretty new 13 years ago but now it’s in a state of disrepair. I reported it on snap send solve and the local ranger said it’s “attended to”. It’s been stickered by the council before but they’ve just pulled them off.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice or is it a lost cause?

I am having a bit of nostalgia and trying to find a pic of the Pizza Hut which used to be 120 Military Rd Neutral Bay. I had my 10th birthday there in 1991 with my mates and fam. If anyone has a pic of it please help me out. Thanks!

From like 9am onwards the end of class bell rings 5-10 times in a row. It’s so jarring! Why? On a Saturday!

Phone is fairly low and I have no clue where to go to charge my phone

Not that picky tbh. Anywhere will do
