Handle9: Installing accessories in cars. My hands are too big and cars are scratchy

There's a reality TV personality in the US who has tiny little hands, he may have a lot of spare time available in the future.

EviLClouD:

The 'new look' trademe website doesnt allow you to edit the closing time of live listings without having to confirm the following. Even though there's already photos and shipping options set up....

You've missed some things:

Please confirm you don't want to add any photos.
Please select a shipping option.

Emailed trademe support and this is what they came back with lol...i'm not sure what they mean. I can edit the closing time but it's just a bit more tedious with the extra clicks...

Sorry for the confusion here - you won't be able to edit the closing time, therefore, you're receiving those messages which are preventing you from confirming. This is to ensure that your listing is in the best position and attracts potential buyers.

In saying that, are you able to give me a little more info as to why you'd like to change the end time?

Stu:
Geektastic: Any meal served with things not mentioned in the menu.

My most common instance being scrambled eggs served with chives. I detest chives and imo no member of the onion family has a place in scrambled egg. Ever.

If the menu said “scrambled eggs with chives” then I’d ask for no chives. Absent that information, I now have to enquire every time I order scrambled eggs on the off chance that the chef has signed a pact with Satan to adulterate my breakfast!

Are you still having that problem? I just don't order scrambled eggs to save the hassle. Akin to coating good food with sesame seeds. Ruins it.

Yes. Also I ordered poached eggs recently that arrived sprinkled with something green. Green is not a colour I eat.

I think that’s what he’s going for.

eBay postage. Cheap item = expensive postage, identical expensive item = cheap postage.

Coincidence, I think not.

Now I've typed that, I think I've mentioned it before. Oh well...

Looks like they've learned from Aliexpress. The two main techniques are:

1. Advertise a cheap throwaway item alongside the expensive one so the thumbnail shows the expensive item with the cheap price.

2. Hide the price in the shipping, $15 item, $80 shipping.

Yep, looks like you can't keep a bad idea down, unfortunately.

The Xrays revealed small fractures in T12 and L3 disks. Shouldn't take too long to heal.

Surely a rope around the bed, tied to the scooter, would have a much less painful option?!

I swear the bed has its own gravitational field. I have two ex military sons that I have assigned the task of moving said behemoth

Our cat went missing but luckily when I went looking I heard it crying from underneath a house up the road. It had been trapped in their tool room under their house, probably snuck in when they were gardening or something.

We knocked on the door and told the lady and asked to go grab it, and she'll be glad we got her because she's sick of listening to her crying all day and didn't want to have to listen to her crying through the night as well. Um what? Why not just LET HER OUT?

The "Moviedle" game. "This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experiences."

Apparently popping up "how to play" messages that you need to manually dismiss every single time is the "best" experience they can manage.
