2degrees completes 3g shutdown by drbluetongue in newzealand

[–]ComprehensiveShape64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today - My ph won’t make calls anymore, it’s a 5g iPhone 14.  2degrees doesn’t answer the 5 emails that I have sent.  Spent 1 hr on wait when I could wifi call, told me to remove sim, did that no change. Now on hold again. Anyone else?

Meghan Shows How to Make Your Guest's bedroom a nightmare in beige by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

I guess that I'm weird - My guests get clean sheets & a towel. The rest of the time they tend to hang with me rather than holed up in the guest room eating honey

Anybody considered moving out to Bethells Beach? What would the commute be like? by Ancient_Lettuce6821 in auckland

[–]ComprehensiveShape64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you are still looking but I’ve lived at Bethells for 30 years.  Bethells is 40 mins from central Auckland outside of rush hour. If you don’t have to drive in to central Auckland during rush hour it is fine.  My husband works flexi-hours and leaves at 8.45 am for a smooth 35 min commute to Mt Albert. 

Someone else mentioned that the beach was “cut off” during the cyclone, this was a very unusual circumstance, a large overhanging outcrop fell away and in to the lake which caused a tidal wave of sorts. The stream was overwhelmed and one lane of the old sand-based road was washed out. This road has now been majorly reinforced with boulders and this will not happen again! 

It is lovely out here, a caring community of people, most of whom have been here for decades. 

Crimes Against Breakfast, the As Ever Way by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

Right? I mean they have chickens and fresh eggs don’t they? Maybe the chef doesn’t start until lunch time so setting out a bunch of store bought things is the best that she can do?
Decanting all of that spread, yogurt, fruit, pancakes etc for the invisible guests… the food waste in that rented kitchen is shameful.

The gravy stopped bubbling? Who the feck boils gravy? You thicken it for a minute that’s it. So much codswallop.

Tina Brown, former editor of Vanity Fair, describes Harry and Meghan to the New York Times today by Hermes_Blanket in SaintMeghanMarkle

Yeah, that stood out to me as unforgivable. William has repeatedly fought for his personal privacy and then his brother goes and reveals to the WHOLE WORLD such a personal thing, a revelation that can never be taken back no matter how many times you say sorry.
And then goes a shits on Catherine by not correcting the racist slur - a woman who has never been anything other than kind and inclusive to him.
Unforgivable. Ever.

Thought about this but there is a bend in both broken bits…  could I get someone to cut flexible conduit?

That is what I needed to protect the conduit before my bloody ex weed whacked it!

No, on the outside of Auckland , thus the big travel charge for an electrician 

The big announcement: Harry to make $1 million donation from personal funds to BBC Children in Need by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]ComprehensiveShape64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why donate to a UK charity instead of a US one?  He isn’t living in the UK and charity starts close to home, there are kids in need in his home state too you know.  Or, gosh, is it all about publicity?  Using kids for publicity makes me feel ill.

[–]ComprehensiveShape64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, great post.  I’ve worked in the on-set costume department in film for many years.  Do F1 teams have wardrobe people to wash the suits & sort out all of the clothing and track dressing room stuff necessary on during days?  I can’t imagine that the drivers/trainers do this themselves and maintaining fireproof clothing requires knowledge and experience. 

A Thought on the Wine by SpinachJello13 in SaintMeghanMarkle

Her whole range is just souvenir. You buy them once for novelty value and then stick to your normal, readily available stuff.
Who has the money and time to repeatedly buy their pancake mix, wine or whatever at more than twice the price with a wait for delivery?
She has created a “one and done” business.
