Weird, is that like they've googled for NZ native language and decided that we must all speak Te Reo?

Sounds like the premise for the short film My Name Is Yu Ming which is excellent. One of the earliest things I ever watched on YouTube, IIRC.

Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom (My Name Is Yu Ming) is the story of a young Chinese man, who is disillusioned with his dead-end job at a supermarket. A spin of the globe leads him to choose Ireland as the destination for his new life and further research informs him that the official language of that country is Gaelic. Arriving in Dublin speaking the language, he is puzzled when nobody can understand him.

Absolutely naming and shaming here, because Harvey Norman has put something on its website to force the HN tab to come to the front when you're trying to look at another site. It happened twice so I know it wasn't a misclick on my part. Despicable behaviour.

I can't replicate that. How did you do it?

And for double annoyance, Smiths City charge $95 for delivery or have free click and collect... but don't bother to document the size of the box so I have no idea whether I can collect it myself or not!

Why oh why did my washing machine have to break in the first place?!

I opened the HN site and had a search results page up. I opened a new tab to a different site, was looking around, and the HN tab activated and threw me out of the other site. Latest Safari.

I can have a parcel tracking page open all day to check for updates, but there's never any progress till I close it and come back later.

Must be a Safari issue. Doesn't happen to me with Chrome on Mac. Don't really want to reactivate Safari just to test.

I'm feeling very grizzly today, but I have another one. I started going though the process to buy something from Smiths City. I went to the checkout page, which is a single page asking for customer details, payment info, etc. I got partway through the page then decided otherwise and closed it without submitting. Three hours later I got an email from them asking whether I still want to purchase the item. They had slurped my email address as soon as I entered it, without clicking a submit button. Then the email has the gall to say that they respect my privacy in the footer.

Those Tegal chicken takeouts that are always low or out of stock. As far as I know, plenty of chickens are still being converted into meat so I can only assume that there are not enough Professional Chicken Converters available to do the work. Whether that's due to sickness or workers finding better paid work I'm damned if I know, but at the end of the day I want me some chicken.
