Witnessing a boy racer (With passengers) do a hit and run outside my address!

 

Hi Res footage saved, and photo of offending vehicle and occupants given to the innocent party! (3 young traumatised ladies)

 

Police contacted to give relevant details and advise I have video of the hit and run! (The wait time was about 40mins on 105!)

I feel these ram raids of young youth give a free licence to other young offenders. Id suspect its not about the ciggies its about being cool

Somehow I bit off the tip of a prong on a plastic fork while eating. I couldn't locate it in my mouth. I couldn't find it anywhere else. Welp, I guess it's in me now.

Bring back the stocks. A few days shame sitting in the rain and being pelted with rotten food would soon convince them it’s not at all cool.

surfisup1000:

Entering "usb-c charger" in the search field on the flybuys store shopping page causes the webpage to crash . 

 

Guessing they don't like the '-', pretty poor. 

 

 

I'll say, I just tried to search for a '); DROP TABLE CUSTOMERS; -- to go with my CREATE TABLE dummy; and it crashed too.

His special power will have to be the ability to squirt snail slime from his... gland.

That I'm seriously considering changing my regular Supermarket (NW) as it is getting more like PaknSave every visit, apart from the prices!

 

More and more bought in pre-packaged foods, especially the deli! Used to be mostly deli-made. Now it's hard to find a deli-made item!

 

It is so noticeable that I asked when the deli would be replaced by a vending machine! (I didn't get an answer!)

 

The bakery has also more and more bought in products.

 

At least the fruit and vegetable standard has not slipped.

 

Even the butchery is more and more outside packaged meat!

 

I see probably less than 15% of the "regulars" I saw 2 years ago!

 

Once you have lost a regular customer as a rule you will never get them back!

 

A lot of the staff you used to interact with have gone too. I wish them well - all great people to deal with.

 

You'd be lucky now if they'd have to enforce a customer limit in the store (Like under Covid rules previously)

 

Car park says it a really! So sad, especially when there is so little to distinguish the Supermarket from any other!

Obligatory 'screw daylight savings' post. I sure do love trying to battle my own and a three year old's body clock.

 

One of the few decent things that was good about living close to the equator at one point in life, DLS just didn't happen.

wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a competition between friends/gangs to see who can be the best.





Common sense is not as common as you think.

Park in a car park miles away from any others so that I can avoid anyone coming near me for all the obvious reasons and another car pulls up right next to me. Seriously? The whole park is empty and you have to park there?

Further, she opens her car door to get her kid out and of course it’s the door closest to mine. Kid jumps out and strait away has to run their sticky fingers along the length of my car


Fffffffffff




You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.
