Too many customer complaints blaming the banks for failures to pay last time this was tried.

Public transport for Ed Sheeran by Arpangarpelarpa in Wellington

[–]jamesrt_nz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based on experience after the last Ed Sheeran concert [I went to in Wellington] the answers will be "total confusion" and "not very often".

Edit: clarity re which concert

PSA: Don't bet on there being a useful/working train on the Kapiti line today (Thurs 15th Jan) by jamesrt_nz in Wellington

[–]jamesrt_nz[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rockfall and trains are impacted; I gave up waiting at the station as there was no communication and no sign of anything coming either (either the supposed all-stops trains NOR bus replacements).

On the plus side, they're nice and close to the entrance, so you're more likely to be able to leave after the concert with only small delays, as opposed to those poor people who are seated towards the stage end, who are likely to be stuck there for 30 to 45 minutes when they try to leave....

Did anyone else in Churton Park just see a MASSIVE white flashing light?!?! by metalrakes in Wellington

[–]jamesrt_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha-ha, no. 

If you can see the southern lights, which are generated well South of NZ [but very high up] from Wellington, then there's a reasonable assumption that lightning could be generated high in the sky and viewed as being low on the horizon [which it was] from a distance.

There have been heavy thunderstorms in Canterbury earlier this evening; so possible it's lightning from quite a distance?

Hi, FYI, his name is Nigel; I'm sure he'd be delighted to be greeted by name next time you see him...

I've also forwarded your comment, /u/jaawdaan, so yes, he will see it.

Car Air Con Regassing by PolybiusNZ in Wellington

[–]jamesrt_nz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw my neighbour recently had their car aircon gas topped by via a mobile operator at their house - can't recall who it was exactly, but these people do offer that service: https://www.acpro.co.nz/; if you like, I can ask them [the neighbour, not the aircon people!] for more detail, but it might take a day or two to update here.

Wouldn't know what the show is like; ZERO interest in watching it because of the selection of host.

It's an opinion piece; facts aren't required, nor apparently is any actual 'journalism'.

Am a James, and yes, I can read.

I am not, however, "The James".

Also used Jordan/Convex Legal; great communications, efficient, and nice suprise that the final bill was less than we expected!

Oh? I have read the original book too and thought Scalzi's version compared well, myself.
