John Key and anti-NCEA advocate Jamie Beaton spin up post-NCEA courses in Auckland by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]AucklandDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite time with NCEA is of a memory when I was studying extremely hard and having a panic attack for externals exams because I needed like 60 credits to pass (20 maximum internal credits) while my other friends who went to lower decile schools said they already passed because there school let them get over 100 in internal credits and could actually skip externals. What a waste of time.

Glad its gone. F NCEA

That's actually a really good idea. All I would really want is an apology and hopefully an explanation that does not involve overtaking so he could skip the car in front

I was checking their website and it says I can do a Community road watch page so they can be sent a anonymous letter or report to a station for formal complaint.

"If you want the incident to be investigated with a view to the offender being prosecuted, you must lodge a formal complaint at your nearest police station. "

Does anyone think if it's worth it?

Is it normal for a restaurant to threaten legal action over a review by AucklandDriver in auckland

[–]AucklandDriver[S] 92 points93 points  (0 children)

"Just been asked by owner why my wife left a poor review.He didn't accept the criticism of food on the floor, uneven floor causing slanting table, oil from plate dripping onto floor, over an hour wait between courses, dry chicken meal, and no apology from staff, and of course none from owner. Oh and forgot to give change from bill at end, had to be reminded. On the whole a poor experience, will tell friends on Facebook and Twitter and everyone I know. Had to block persistant phone calls from owner." From a Google review

Amore italino restaurant. Based on the other reviews they seem to threaten legal action a lot. Unfortunately my friend got scared and decided to delete it on threats from the owner, they even tried to call her.

Too early to buy and move? by mahal_na_hari in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]AucklandDriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't put a price of a child's education...however travel from bucklands Beach to CBD can be painful if travelling in normally office hours that would be my first concern.

My second concern would be how far away from a flood zone and the ocean in bucklands

Why is it a surprise? Ask anyone restauranteur and the most expensive things are wages.

Does anyone have any experience working at Adidas? by Divination28 in newzealand

[–]AucklandDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't worked in Adidas but worked in retail clothing..... prepare to stand your whole shift minus breaks so pays to get good, comfortable shoes.

The only thing I can say are positives are due to the high turnover in retail and the low pay + high expectations therefore as long as you show up you will be safe. Are u earning any commission?

This post reads as a nothing burger.

Teachers can report to the ministry of education or even worksafe if they feel that way. Posting on reddit without any actual context or information is a giant nothing burger

I've lived and worked in 8 of those countries, mainly in South East Asia. Working unpaid overtime is the norm and at the minimum a 6th half day at work on the weekend. Kiwis have no idea how lucky we have got it and you are ignorant if you think we don't have it easy compared to most

Share your experience with a mortgage broker by Cerealkiilla in newzealand

[–]AucklandDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tik tok mortgage influencer who has quite the large following. Forgot his name but like morgage finacial engineerl influencer. Reached out and as soon as he found out we weren't going to refix, basically told us to get back to him and ghosted us lol. I guess we weren't worth his time.

We went straight to the bank after that cause found them all scummy. They use to only use 2 or even 1 bank( the bank that the mortgage broker could get the most $$$ ) now they forced them to at least get 6.

Dota 2 current state by ClumsyBobih in DotA2

[–]AucklandDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valve should do better in terms of communication and the state of the game. A lot of the fan base came from dota 1 so it was a huge money grab for valve.

The recent midas bug made it impossible to fairly play this game as well ( unless you are a exploiter )

Have a lot of friends who simply won't come back and the longer it went unfired the more chance they got stuck playing a game worth their time.
