Have the same thing in Australia. Not passport but I returned after years overseas and I think I was applying for a tax file number (or bank account, or both!)

I was just really lucky my father had an old family friend who wss a teacher to sign the paperwork

I tossed it onto a old PC that was struggling with windows a few months ago. It was just a Plex machine and suddenly everything is running faster, easier to use, my wife even commented that she could browse Plex faster than before and videos loaded quickly…

Interesting site but not without flaws, first recipe I looked at was essentially just “use a off the shelf bottle of curry paste to make a curry and cook some rice. Cooking time 315 minutes”

Gonna check through it though, seemed to have a nice variety, with a lot of cultures listed
