Handsomedan: It's enough to make you wonder how some of them sty in business. Especially in tech. 

 

 

You mean apart from the fact that people like Youngest Son keep buying from them? :)

Album tracks that are faded out just as the best solo in the track is in mid flow…!

Similar to my moan about the Post Office moving into Paperplus and pretending its some kind of positive a while back - local Warehouse Stationary is closing / moving in with the local Warehouse, purely (so they say) for our benefit so we can shop under one roof, and its not in anyway connected with saving them money. Be interesting how it won't affect stock / display items as well. 


I can assure you a Post Office in a Paperplus shop is definitely a positive compared to a Post Office in a Mobil service station...



What’sa post Office?

You'd think if it was your job to label food products then you'd actually learn how to label them. But no, we end up with things weighing "50G" or "100gm" or "25gs".

It's an incremental inorganic rubbish collection arranged via Trademe.

I ordered a new mouse a couple of days ago, as the scroll wheel on my current one is literally beginning to fall to pieces. I received a new one last night but it seems there was a mix-up. Today I need to dig around in the garage and find my traps...

Any 'news' report entitled "{insert thing} - What you need to know".

 

 

 

Invariably, I 'need' to know exactly nothing at all about whatever it is. If I needed to know, I would have done research and known, not sat around waiting for some 'multimedia journalist' to write something in easy words for the hard of understanding.

Eva888: Aramex 10 days from Auckland to Wellington so far for my parcel and still counting.

 

Last and only status for mine:

 

Ready for collection on next courier cycle.  Dated 10am, 14 April.

 

Yes, 15-18 inclusive were holidays.  But there's been 3 other days in which to get said parcel from Wellington CBD to Upper Hutt.

 

Would have been quicker to do Click and Collect if I'd known they were shipping from a local-ish store.

I’ve got one coming about 40 km from a store in the Hutt. In any normally functioning courier system that should be literally overnight.

Now 4 working days.

Not to clutter up the Annoy thread with smiles, but the mouse trap is currently running at a 100% success rate. Now the hard question: Was that the sole resident mouse or am I going to catch more?
