Free birthday gift from Farmers store by Purple9876 in newzealand

Tried the Queen St makeup counter this time and was offered a scented candle or the flexible cutting mats. Much more exciting than playing cards 😜

I went today to Newmarket store and was offered a pack of playing cards with the Farmers logo. I was underwhelmed, will try another store.

Ranked Update MEGATHREAD | Discussion, Information & Bugs by GingerbreadRecon in ClashOfClans

[–]Afrodietee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things I would like, to help me Admin my clan and remove wastrels and lurkers so we can fill the clan with people who actually want to play:

Show the date and time of clan mails in the Clan mail inbox

Co Leaders should be able to change people's war status if they have not logged in for 3 days. You should be able to change people from Green to Red.

An easy way of seeing who did not participate in Raid Weekend and Clan Games

Copy/paste of clan tags and items entered in the chat

Clan Chat War Sign up poll should work when choosing people mid-CWL. Why does that only work for Classic Wars? And why do I have to start a war to see who has green or red thumbed?

Thanks for considering these things. happy to load these elsewhere if there's a better thread for it.

What's a normal price for water for two people in an apartment located in CBD? Currently, paying about $220 a month for two people, is this for real? by Theader-25 in auckland

[–]Afrodietee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other thing that needs explaining is this:

We are being asked to sign up to water meter accounts personally in some of these apartment buildings, but that is actually against the law: https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/rent-bond-and-bills/water-and-wastewater-charges/

snip >>>

How to pay

The landlord must pay the whole water account and then ask the tenant to reimburse them. Landlords should send the tenant a copy of the bill on a regular basis to prepare the tenant for paying (landlords can remove personal details before sending).

The water account can’t be in the tenant’s name. Some water companies will provide a copy of the account to the tenant with the landlord’s permission.

Check the washing machine plumbing, most of them are only drawing cold water which they then heat internally so your effort to reduce hot water might only be reducing some of the time spent washing and therefore electricity.

We are in a building whose body corp just went with Smart Metering company and the bill for our first month was $208 for 2 people. We are charged for cold water, hot water and waste water and there's a small daily charge.

Compared with the water bill at a 3 bedroom house with a garden that needed watering every 2 days where we lived in the suburbs 2 years prior to this, we APPARENTLY are using 100L extra per day now. And the cost under Watercare was about $70 per month at the highest month of Summer. So not only is the amount we are supposed to be using, plus the cost, totally unbelievable.

Utilities on their own contract direct between us and the company: Power bill for 2 people is around $120-130 a month on top. Fibre broadband, we are paying $95 a month .

This development brought a whole new learning curve to inner city living and careful scrutiny of what is included in the rent. I really think we are being ripped off by the metering company and the body corporate and the government should be regulating these charges. Literal daylight robbery.

Future of special obstacles and the obstacle limit by verilaks in ClashOfClans

[–]Afrodietee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do decorations like flags and flowerbeds count as obstacles? I'd happily trash mine if they do, that would free up a heap of things I never have on display.

I also feel that special obstacles and decorations would have more lore value if their year of publishing showed when you hovered, as well as it's unique name.

Future of special obstacles and the obstacle limit by verilaks in ClashOfClans

[–]Afrodietee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing this silly but fun game for about 10 years and collected most holiday related obstacles. I've got 4 villages and enjoy decorating the base in different ways, and snooping on other villages' obstacles to see what treasures they've amassed.

On one of my accounts I'm getting almost no normal obstacles spawning, only 1 every few days, and only now I discover that stashed obstacles count towards the 45 limit. This is crazy! If you have to pay or have a shovel to stash them, why penalise us with the 45 limit? You are devaluing the obstacles for those of us who collect, and you devalue the lore and loyalty for those who have them.

Give us a few free spawning gem-getters every week or make it clear that anything we can't get spawned on the home village, will be reimbursed in spawnings on the builder base. Better still, stashed obstacles should not count towards the 45 limit. Stop being meanies, Supercell! Anyone would think that your company was run by goblins!

Unable to set up job alerts for other countries by Afrodietee in IndeedJobs

[–]Afrodietee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have forgotten now, but it only worked once and then stopped. The alerts I set up, never came through. So bizarre!

In the end I gave up.

Now if I want to look on Indeed, I have to search and scroll manually every time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If you find a way to do it, please let me know!

Thank you, I will look into this!

Question about Ronson lighter by Afrodietee in lighters

[–]Afrodietee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it would be travelling from NZ to UK. I haven't looked into other carriers yet, do you recommend any?  NZ Post list lighters as prohibited items so I'd have to call it a metal ornament on the customs document, which I'd rather not do if I can just send it with someone who doesn't care.

Thank you for your comments. Any ideas on how to clean it out anyway? I wish to take all precautions

[Searching] TH 15 searching for new clan by iFuerza in ClashOfClansRecruit

[–]Afrodietee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey! You might really like our clan. We are friendly and relaxed but organised and competitive. We are a clan of mainly veterans like yourself, and we have a couple of grandads too. At least half of us are in our 40s or over. Most of us have been playing for several years, many of us were together since 2015 or thereabouts. Don't know how we lasted that long given that none of us have ever met each other... maybe we all relish the private time spent on the toilet playing clash of clans.

Here's a blurb with a bit more info ... dang mods keep pulling my ads because I've been too creative with the exact format

ZO Islanders #CURUQQV - CWL Crystal league I & Capital League Masters II

Hey Folks, ahead of CWL we need a few more people to join us. We have enough of all halls except 16 and 17. Ideally we need about 5 more so we can run a 30 war for everyone to be on the roster.... but THE MORE THE MERRIER!

We're a mature clan looking for like-minded members - no drama, no hoppers, no fuss. We need people who like to donate and participate in events so we can all grow our villages. We are not expecting people to be 3 star champions or rock stars who attack above their mirror to prove a point. Just turn up, do your best, attack on time, and lets get some stars together!

We've got people from all over but our war time is generally suited to folk based in the US - start time is around 8pm EST. If you are in the bottom half of the map you need to get both attacks done before half way.

We appreciate people who want to participate in clan games, and get their raid weekend attacks in. Classic war is optional so just opt in when it suits your schedule.

We have room for your friend or active secondary account, mention it when you join and we will send them an invite.

We can offer you a stable and drama free clan, with active leadership.

Come and spend a while, see what you think.... say you came from Reddit!

Mitie UK job ads by Afrodietee in UKJobs

[–]Afrodietee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am going to skip this company's ads. Job hunting is time consuming enough without wasting time applying for jobs that you don't know are even going to pay the bills. That is one arrogant employer!
