Handsomedan:

With regard to the luck thing...I reckon we should be about due some good luck - maybe a second division win on lotto or similar? Not sure I'd want the big one - that would bring its own bloody hassles.

If you should accidentally win too much on the Lotto, I will selflessly offer to take the excess off your hands for you. Can't have you suffering from huge piles of cash under your mattress disturbing your beauty sleep.

neb: The utter uselessness of the official Auckland Transport app in, well most things in general, but here's the latest specific case: I want to confirm that the bus from X to Y will get me to Y in time for a scheduled event. I know when the bus leaves X and it should get me there in plenty of time, but I just want to check in case they relax the schedule for evening runs or something. The AT app has me catch a much earlier bus than the intended one, get out about halfway there, wait around for 10 to 15 minutes, transfer to another bus that runs on exactly the same route as the first one at that point, and then gets to the same place the first bus was going. What's more, no matter what I do I can't get it to show me the bus run that I want to catch, it's either much earlier ones or, mostly, multi-bus transfers to go along one fixed route. How can you write an app this useless? There's a direct connection from X to Y and they've somehow managed to split it across two bus runs (one option showed three) that take an extra quarter to half hour or so to get you there.

Actually I recently had exactly the same issue with the Metlink app here in Wellington. Multiple bus routes going from origin to destination, but it completely ignored the one that would have got me there on time with the shortest journey time and also insisted on giving me buses on a different route at much earlier times. I was so frustrated that I logged it as an issue with the Metlink Contact Centre who advised they could replicate the issue, but when it was referred to the developers, came back as "working as designed", or similar wording...

I don't use the bus myself, but I've been told that the "Transit" app isn't too bad. Maybe give it a go and see whether it's any good in your specific case.

Cafe that have nice pies in the food cabinets but when you ask how they heat them up, they say they microwave them to make them hot not mentioning that it makes the pastry soggy and unpleasant to eat. If you are going to sell pies in a cafe, invest in a turbo oven which is a commercial air fryer type cooker.

I'm shocked that a cafe would do that. Even your local dodgy corner dairy has a pie warmer you can collect perfectly good hot pies from.

If I ever buy another cafe, I promise you I will buy a pie warmer, just for you.

Sky TV for not showing the IPL final, one of the best endings and i had to watch it on a dodgy stream .

Common sense is not as common as you think.

I think that needs moving to a "Something colossal that really annoys you" thread.

When your computer generates a password, asks you if you want to save it and when it does, then does not reference it when you need to input the same login on a different site - and you also cannot for the life of you find what it has saved the password under either.

Looking at you, Apple.

Forbidding the use of a microwave to heat pies should be officially made the 11th commandment.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Passwords are supposed to be site specific, if a site is presenting a different domain for a login and expecting the same password it is typically a phishing page so this is working by design. If a moron web developer has the password set on one site to use on another one, that fault lies with the web developer. Amazon and ebay seem to like to use their country specific domains for authentication too, which is the only legit sites I can think of where you would have this problem.

Only works in a convection one. Those are really great for heating pies up as the microwave hits the filling and the elements make the pastry nice.

I think the Rova app is like that. You think you're signing in Rova, but you're actually signing into the Mediaworks website.
