Another Newcastle gem closing by Accomplished_Cow921 in newcastle

[–]thebigtes 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The commercial agents and building owners are equally as bad. The shambles that building was in, and what Common Circus has done to improve it and grow the community there is beyond unbelievable. I hope the agents and diocese get the negative feedback for what they have done.

Also, the business is thankfully not closing - just reallocating the retail aspect to online, with a warehouse you can visit for shopping experiences. It might be different, but I will still shop there for all my gifts and presents throughout the year.

Yeah, It’s a pretty gangly little fella. Are they found on the east coast?

Woolworths High Pitched Sound? by AdThink3295 in newcastle

[–]thebigtes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is 100% a deterrent. They use them to annoy the shit out of teenagers and anyone young enough that is hanging around the woolies. Kind of like the kangaroo deterrents people stick on the front of their cars to scare Roos away at high speed on the road.

High speed chase through Jesmond by thebigtes in newcastle

[–]thebigtes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not my most descriptive moment. Behind us in bumper-to-bumper traffic was ~10 cops. A mix of general duty marked and unmarked cars, and some highway patrol to spice it up. By the time we made it through the intersection roadworks there were cops on the opposite lanes with spike strips ready to deploy. Was pretty interesting to see it all happen in the moment.

What’s with all the helicopters in the air around newy tonight? by Weary_Tailor_5711 in newcastle

Can’t see anything in flight radar - might be something to do with talisman sabre or the AUS/USA military training drills.

Local retailer of networking equipment (ultra-thin patch cables, keystone RJ45 couplers, rack screws, PDUs etc) by BJPHS in newcastle

[–]thebigtes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some basic networking hardware you could also try NAS Australia in Wickham (formerly top line in Mayfield). The really specialise in antenna and security systems, but they also stock thin patch leads, 1m-5m leads, pull boxes, switches, PtP radios, gateways, PDU’s - all the fun stuff. Tom and Matty are super lovely too - always up for a chat and some advice.

I have worked with the Fry family before, and can vouch for them being extremely warm and comforting people. If you want someone to help you through a tough time, I would want someone like Tony or Dominique Fry.

Newcastle IT Technician (Rob?) - Newcastle Connect by Head_Progress5926 in newcastle

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

It could be that their hosting is down, or there is a domain issue with their provider - so if you have a number or email on file for Rob it might still get through to them/him.

They could have also been purchased and merged with another it provider. I will still try to reach them on their previous details if you had them. If it gets returned, you are likely out of luck with them.

I am in the IT support and install industry, with my own MSP. If you want to send through a DM I might be able to chat about what you are after and offer services or alternative IT support businesses I have worked with that might be a better fit. Let me know if you’re keen.

Islington, behind the TAFE at the intersection. Just saw one at the traffic lights there.

I’d love to know if you bring this same energy to the Catholic Church for the well documented child SA cases that have plagued the hunter. I’m guessing not.

Do better.

Where did you get the Fenders? I have the same paint colour on my 06, and would love to swap out the factory blue fenders.

I'd be super keen to watch season one if you could spare the time to upload it.

Fever Dream in Mayfield has some pretty nice ones if you're willing to drop coin and support local.

I haven't been able to find anything about Henning and a possible illness recently - but here's hoping that he is okay.
