I thought he meant some sort of advertising campaign for the schools themselves or the positions of pupils within.

How should I have formatted it?

BTRFS is quite good 😀

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

But it still has it's issues and limitations, and you're bound to find someone who disagrees with your argument no matter how convincing you might be! I think, in this instance, EXT4 would do the job just fine 😉

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Amanda Hill of Cooper Legal, a lawyer for 13 years, said on TV 1 News today

"We need an enormous change because nothing has worked... We need to literally burn [a New Zealand Ministry] down to the ground and start again."

You're a lawyer. You should know the difference between literally and figuratively.

She obviously heard a guitar solo literally blew her mind.

Using "literally" figuratively?

I literally prefer using "figuratively" literally.

I assume that the interviewer didn't point out the error...

Not notice or didn't care.....either way says something about TV reporters/hosts.

the paper straws at Macca's, other than the terrible feel of them in your mouth is that they get wet then break down and dissolve into a pulpy mess after a few sucks .

Common sense is not as common as you think.

The reporter said it was an awesome interview. That shizzle was really da bomb. :)

When you're an existing customer/subscriber of an organisation, i.e. they have all your details, receive an email invite to enter a competition with an 'Enter Now' button, that then takes you to a form requesting you to fill in all your details.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Having my Afternoon ruined by someone who has installed bloatware on their notebook which is now interfering with what they want to do, and they don't even know what the Windows Start Button is!

Now they are bringing the notebook here for me to fix!

You need a licence to drive a car, but no training to use a computer, just the $ to buy it!

I would not survive long on a Helpdesk dealing with the public.

That's unfair comment when McDonald's themselves use the name in marketing material, website and social channels in New Zealand.

Except for the Kiwiburger and America Cup's sponsorship, I doubt McDonald's marketing distinguishes between New Zealand and Australia.

Oddly McDonald's has never seemed to have a marketing tie-in with the All Blacks.

You'd think McDonald's marketing would make a commercial with All Black Jordie Barrett after he mistakenly ate McDonald's in a stranger's flat.

"It's 5 am, and you're completely pissed. Like the All Blacks, try some McDonald's."
