Was thinking that just yesterday after buying a carton lot of toilet paper and they asked for a review...

Suggestions welcome.

Your toilet paper is like the kiss of a lotus flower on my arse. My sphincter gasps in delight at its touch and moans with pleasure for more!

That should be marked NSFW! 😄

Looking at houses on Trademe Property and the number of over-exaggerated views that these listings have is incredible.

There are numerous properties (on Auckland's North Shore) which appear at first to have amazing sea views, but on closer inspection, it looks like the photos were taken with a satellite or space-exploration telescope, because there's no way you'd get those views with the naked eye!

There's one in particular where the house is in Glenfield, which is fairly well inland based on its address, but the first photo is a close-up of Rangitoto Island and the sea. It looks like it was taken a few hundred metres from the coast! I doubt you'd see anything but a vague sense of the sea from there and whilst you may see the outline of Rangi in the distance, you're certainly not going to see the leaves on the trees, like the pictures suggest.

Annoying.

Receiving passive-aggressive emails from a telco telling me I forgot to pay my last month's bill when I did pay it.

Neighbourly emails!

"Water restrictions near Waikanae" links to a message about Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Porirua. The message was shared with 141 neighbourhoods. Kapiti water comes from a different source, and there is no action for me to take.

I unsubscribed because there are too many emails that require you to click to find out if there is something useful. (It usually isn't.) It seems the approach is to just get the click rather than getting targeted responses. If the email had included a bit of information indicating it applied to those regions, then it would be useful, especially for people in the region, or go into the region and have an interest in water usage.

Why do charities spend money on gifts that are useless. Just received a brown hessian draw string bag too small for anything useful. 25x20 cm with a heavy cord drawstring. Two colour printing on it and a large printed tag wishing me Merry Xmas.

I donate to this outfit and it makes me mad knowing donations are being wasted on stuff that’s not helping patients. An email saying thanks would have sufficed. Ditto this to some other charities that send out envelopes full of leaflets and material that no one reads and must cost heaps to print.

I came to that conclusion long ago and left them behind. Nice idea but ruined by commercial interests.

It pulls at the heart strings of human nature to return something in kind.

New Teams rocks my socks. I love it. I have one persistent bug I hope they fix where I appear as 'unknown user' in an external group but other than that it's chalk and cheese faster to classic teams.

I can't use New Outlook as the colour schemes don't include Dark Grey.

I tweaked my neck/shoulder last night in a sleeping incident. Tomorrow is the day we are finally getting to put everything back inside our house after it was repaired. Was hoping to have everything back in time for xmas, now my wife and kids will need to try and do it without me. So frustrating and I feel useless.

'Useless' is a lifetime average. I doubt you qualify. How about 'temporarily incapacitated' instead?

do you have the guts to sit in a deck chair with a beer directing operations

Common sense is not as common as you think.

One can only hope that your wife was at least involved in the "sleeping incident", thus can at minimum appreciate why you are directing, and not helping 😉

The chair is chiropractic and the beer is medicinal!
