That's Noice!

Adioso is an Australian based company helping you find the cheapest flights.

We all know of Flight Centre and Webjet, which are good if you have very specific travel periods you are looking for. If you can be a little more flexible with travel times and are planning your holidays well in advance, I would definitely suggest giving Adioso a spin.

In a very easy to use google like interface, you put in your destination and a travel period, such as mid March. It will then search all the major carriers and give you the prices for all the dates in your travel period and show you the cheapest options. Another great tool is the ability to subscribe to certain dates and time periods and be notified when the price drops.

Some flights I was watching dropped $20 below the “cheapest” price I was originally quoted in just over a week. So it definitely pays to plan ahead and be flexible.

Give it a try when you are next on the look out for cheap flights, Adioso

This post is a little more ‘heavy’ than you would be used to on That’s Noice!, but we have no doubt you understand the reason why we have decided to post this today.

Today, 11 November 2011 is remembrance day, marking 93 years since the armistice was signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I.

Don Rowe, NSW State President of the Returned and Services League of Australia, said he hoped that on Remembrance Day this Friday Australians everywhere would follow the tradition of observing a minute’s silence at 11 a.m. to acknowledge the sacrifice of so many lives in so many wars over the past century.

“It only takes a moment for us all to stop what we’re doing, to pause, and to reflect on the lives that have been lost and to honour those whose lives are still at risk in the service of their country,” said Mr Rowe.

You can also show your respect by wearing a red poppy.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, I will observe a minute’s silence. Will you?

On the weekend the entire That’s Noice team made our much anticipated trip out to the new Ikea in Tempe.

We love the smell of flat pack on a sunny Sunday morning :)

Tempe Ikea is the largest Ikea store in the southern hemisphere and created about 550 construction jobs and 600 ongoing jobs.

They were very well organised for the opening weekend with parking attendants and police galore. We called this parking attendant “Sven”.

The store is 37,000 square metres (about 20 footy fields) and will have 2,000 parking spots.

The main path of the store is be 2.5km long (protip: wear comfy shoes)

A lot at the Tempe store is similar to the Rhodes store, but some things are new, like this nify sewing display

We were disappointed by the lack of phone service on the ground floor, but we’re told that there’s free wifi in store – something we’ll look out for next time.

This is “Sven”, the mime. He was entertaining kids (and kids alike) near the restaurant.

No trip to Ikea is complete without making fun of the fake toilet.

You know you want to go check out the new Ikea. It’s well worth it!

Now we have Kitty City. Certainly a video to get the brain cells working on a Monday morning. Enjoy!

If you drive like me, your car looks like this:

Got a boo-boo on your car and can’t afford to fix it?

Yes, I am quite well aware that it is in fact November but  this was just too cute and LOL not to share.

Dogtober is a yearly fundraising campaign for Assistance Dogs Australia.

These are a series of very clever TV ads combining super cute Golden Retriever puppies and narration by funny man John Cleese.

I don’t recall seeing these TV ads? And they only seem to have been added to their youtube channel last week.
