Why Police & Nurses Credit Society is the best...
Melissa: You're very welcome. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Lyall: Well that was a while ago with Health Services Credit Union (which has sadly become Bank of Qld).
Thanks for your assistance. Have a good day.
Melissa: No, I'm afraid we do not have those anymore, Im not sure about other Credit Unions however.
Lyall: Cool. A bit like taking in a Credit Union OWly when I was a kid. BTW do credit unions still have them?
Melissa: In that case, if the funds are under $100 and you are depositing them into your Personal account there is no charge.
Lyall: I'd estimate it would be about $50 worth of 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins.
Lyall: it hasn't been bagged or counted. It's just about a years worth of loose change removed from my wallet to stop it being bulky. What might the cost of counting be?
Melissa: If it has been counted and bagged there is no problem. Depending on how much you have to deposit however there could be a charge for doing so.
Lyall: I have some loose change that I'd like to deposit at a branch but it has not been counted. will this be a problem?
Lyall: Just a question about depositing cash at a branch
Lyall: Hi.
Melissa: Hello. How may I help you?
Melissa has entered the chatroom.

Banksy
lindaboucher:
His Summer exhibition has been announced.
The Private view is today (12th june 2009), and it opens to the public tomorrow.
It is in his home town of Bristol, at the City Museum in Queens Road.
Apparently the museum has been closed amid great secrecy, and all the staff were told that there was a film crew working.
Infact, the museum has been transformed into BanksyLand.
The...

The Bullshit Job Title Generator →
BP’s recent post reminded me of something sandnsurf retweeted a few days ago - The Bullshit Job Title Generator.
Its career counselling services led me to decide to pursue a role as an International Paradigm Architect.
It would be a waste to let my nursing study and work go to waste. Fortunately I realised I could leverage my experience, eke out a niche and create synergy.
Consequently I...

WatchTiga - Shoes (video via Vimeo, audio via CBC Radio 3/New Music Canada)
The video matches the song perfectly. I love the tension and the music is really sexy. The dude looks like a bad ass version of Senator John Faulkner. And the woman, whoa… amazing. Thank you Canada. I can’t get enough of this song right now - Lyall

Animated Boy Scout Knots →
topherchris:
The knots listed on this site are the required knots for Boy Scouts to advance through the ranks of Scouting. This is a fun way for boys to learn the knots they will use in scouts and throughout life.
Queen Scout Lyall’s Scouting Pro Tip: If you’re not sure what you’re doing just tie lots and lots of half hitches. The knot will look secure and hopefully be...
