Booked and paid for them months ago so couldnt tell you off hand, I know we paid extra so I could have more leg room.
Only ever fly Singapore (and Malaysian up till their planes started falling out of the sky) and staying at the Veridian Resort perfectly located for me if that helps. I think the Veridian was very cheap as we upgraded to poolside deluxe rooms and I've seen them on Scoopon.
Were also going in the last fortnight of October as evwrything goes up there November 1 due to getting closer to the high season.
I went there once for one week in October and one in November and the week in November was heaps dearer.

Walk into the Newmarket Hotel for dinner with Mrs and Little Miss with $10 in my pocket, "1 minute", I say.

$10 into Dolphin Treasure, $1 spins, games first spin > games > more games and take out $170.

Dinner comes to $68.50. Put the $1 into 20c Shogun, $1 spin, 25 free games and take out $120.

Walked in with $10, paid for dinner and walked out with $220.

Thank your mother for the rabbits.

I rate finally having the internet at home after 277 days!

TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.

I was told upon moving in here that there were "no available ports in the area", and they'd notify me of any changes.

I have a mate who works for my service provider, and he informed me that apparently the internet has been active here for a few days.

A sheila at work was having a discussion a while back asking for people's preference about foxtel, netflix etc.

I thought I'd be a smartarse and said "Are you's looking for some porn"

"We don't watch porn, we make it" was her reply.
