I remember someone on here who'd come to town for the playoff against Peru (or maybe it was Mexico before that) who was complaining that people told him off for climbing the water whirler and how people in Wellington were no fun.

Turns out there's a reason for that.

Hey folks, a bit of an FYI on what you may have seen going on in this thread and others.

Someone previously involved in our community was involved in a legal situation. We made a number of key people aware of the situation but did not feel it was our place to drag the situation or personal life of that person into the public arena. As soon as we were aware we took steps to distance them from involvement with the Yellow Fever and that remains the case.

However this week we have become aware of a targeted campaign against that person contacting people who know or knew them and seek to harass. These posts are a clear breach of forum rules (on all sorts of grounds) and as such are being hidden. We continue to believe it is not our place to act as judge and jury and leave that up to our more than capable legal system.

Bans have and will continue to be issued for breaches of forum rules - there are a range of other platforms you are welcome to post on and discuss whatever you see fit but it isn't here.

This is not open for debate.

Yeah, my Mum got one for my (now) toddler. It’s one of the very few things I have really put my foot down about. I hope it’s come from the same place (naivety with love) as that gift was.

Having paid for two season passes on Saturday 16 September 2018 only to be told today that I have not paid, so 30 seconds later a scanned copy of my receipt got dispatched straight back. Jesus frigging weeps. Only two more postal days left for this week. Fair warning Domey, email coming your way about this.Not your fault of course but someone needs to held accountable somewhere in the food chain. Sounds like databases are not being sychronised to me.

I spoke to someone at the club earlier and it seems 'Organisation A' failed the criteria on an extract for the orders and some orders were not handled as they should have been.

They are working hard on fixing it and hope to have details to people impacted today.

Becky sorted out my problem. It seems my membership was sent to a really old email address I once had.

That is really weird, because that email ceased to exist, long before I became a member!!

Why do Kiwi's build their loft water tanks in such a place that only a Hobbit can physically remove a ballcock without dismantling the whole tank?

18 years I've been here and I get that "doing it yourself" is a biggy but understand that when you do you are f***ing it up for the next poor sod who lives in your house who has spend 8 hours sorting out your sh*tty job.

Drives me insane.

I just wish kiwi guys would leave it up to professionals who know what they are doing.

It's a solid earthquake proof little masterpiece made of strong kiwi timber from way back. He just did all the "stuff"  (later on), himself. It's a beautiful place.

16 days since the last bitching on here, the team must be doing well. 

I'd like to nominate the family from old Blighty that are travelling around New Zealand causing trouble wherever they go. 1 Conviction already. They sound like the neighbours from hell. No doubt one of the three women's mags will have a 23 page colour exclusive interview with them - That's if they cannot make up yet another 23 page colour interview with Richie & Jemma McCaw.

I want Trade Me to eliminate "Auto Bid". if you can't be there in the last 3 mins, don't bid. How many times have people paid way more than necessary because some auto bid prick is in action.

Doodles on forums at the arse end of the world carrying on like it's the centre of the universe when in fact (for most people), it isn't.

Chill the fudge out, get some perspective, and enjoy life... cos when shark really goes down, this kinda stuff really doesn't matter. And no, not this one... (but if you thought it was, then perhaps have a think about your pieorities).

Moneyagonegone - How people are stupid enough to still buy tickets via this rip off agent is beyond me but they do. Today they are off to court, not that Moneyagonegone will show or even acknowledge it. If people stopped buying event tickets from them, they would fold. Remember that old saying? A fool and his money are easily parted.
