@Geektastic, how much does subscription cost?

 

About NZ$5 equivalent a week.

260 bucks a year to them and they still want you to support their ads? Damn.

People who get on the bus with their bag on their back and smack people in the face when they turn around.

Forum hasn't remember my last visit, so went through clicking on the 'send me to last unread post link', which took me back to Monday

 

Had to remind myself to click on reset read flags

 

I view gz mainly on an iPad and have noticed that recently it's not been remembering my last visits. I thought it might be an accidentally changed setting on the device but maybe it's more widespread.

Anyone else had this? Any fix at this end or at MF's end (if the problem is there)?

I've had a few instances on my Galaxy S8+ where I have had to log in again because it has not remembered me; not on my iMac though.

Programs on netflix etc that were made to be broadcast with adverts but no longer have them, so every five minutes you get a summary of what you just watched cause you can't remember that far back.

Listening to a reminder that rates are due his week on 1XX radio, manage to mention 'Kawerau, Opotiki and Wakatane rates' 4 times in a message that lasts about 20 seconds but seems to last 20 hours.

I had a related one today where the serial number on the product I had called support for was so small I - literally - needed a magnifying glass (yes, I do have one on my desk!) in order to read it! It was also very long.

 

 

Phone makes a good magnifying glass. And can read bar-coded serial numbers too :) And can read the serial number on the back of a device without needing to pull it out of a cabinet or whatever. :)

 

Only works if it's not your phone you are trying to read the serial number from 

"News" Organisations that obviously don't proof read!

From NewsHub: http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2017/05/elderly-man-with-bone-deep-facial-wound-refused-ambulance.html

Red Cross is defending its actions after an elderly man with a gruesome facial wound was refused help from ambulance services.

In same article:

Mr Lolesio was operated on the following day, which went well but his family say this doesn't make up for his ordeal, and have laid a formal complaint against St Johns and Middlemore Hospital.

In a statement, Red Cross says "the patient was not deemed to have a life-threatening condition and the nurse's advice was given according to best practise.

Since when did the Red Cross operate 111 Ambulance services?

Is it about the Red Cross or St Johns?

Go specifically to McDonalds for a Georgie Pie and having a weird (and long) conversation with staff as if they had never heard of them before and eventually being told they don't have them.
Next morning I go through the drive-through of the same McDonalds and there's a full sized poster advertising them in the drive-through.  You would think they would know what their products are.

Whole incident felt like I had been rick-rolled whilst being part of a Monty Python sketch.

Ohh, I had an experience at auckland international airport duty free stores , had a cold so was trying to buy a handkerchief. 

Not one employee in any of the duty free stores had every heard of the word 'handkerchief'. 

In fact, I challenge anyone to find a store employee in the auckland international customs controlled area who knows what it is.

Another for McDonalds  -  I don't actually go there that often but I've noticed they now have all these fancy menu LCD screens above/behind the tills.  Some other fast-food brands have these systems too.

The items are listed down the side of the screen.  The items are auto scrolled through with picture and details displayed on the right when the item is highlighted.
Most of the time if you blink (or get bored waiting for it to scroll to what you want) you miss the details and have to wait for it scroll back round again.  Or worse the scrolling skips some items so you have no idea what it is.   Have also noticed not all menu items are on these new screens.

There are so many good reasons not to go to McDonalds.
