Yes,but thats a different issue entirely isn't it?
 
Just because she was wrong that it isn't a franchise,doesn't make the made up theory that she is a racist correct.
 
Thats like saying 1+1 isnt 4 therefore 1+1 = 3

The other way to look at it is would she make all this fuss and threaten the owner with an immigration investigation if the owners in question were a white family that moved from Hamilton.

Yeah,that part is inexcusable.
But I'd like to think she'd still have the same protest,minus the stupid immigration threat.Tegal2011-02-05 00:00:33

I agree, minus the stupid immigration threat I would see threatened small business owner does something stupid. With the immigration threat, it really does make me wonder whether she would have kicked up a fuss if Bob and Julie Smith had moved from Hamilton and opened a takeaway joint.

People selling 7s tickets on trademe for ludicrous prices.

The amount of tickets still for sale, and with pretty high reserves met is pretty funny!

Three things,

1) The Nintendo 'Nationwide hands-on tour of the 3DS' doesn't go anywhere except Auckland FFS.

2) Firefox doesn't keep me logged into YF so everytime I come here I have to log in again.

3) People whinging about public holidays falling on the weekend. Well here's my question for you.. if my rostered days off are Sat, Sun, Mon then should I get the public holiday on Tuesday? Shall we just shift public holidays around willy nilly to suit everyone or just those who are lucky enough to get EVERY saturday and sunday off.

Just got call from some indian call centre bro trying to scam me into allowing remote access to my computer by posing as a microsoft technician.

I'm fairly computer savvy and realised pretty much immediately that there was no way anyone from msoft would call you but played along for a laugh. The funniest part was when he got me to navigate to the windows info file directory then asked me how many files were there. "Are there more than say, 10 files?" (but of course there are more than 10 files in win inf) so I told him there were 1200 and he goes: "Oh god... my god, your computer, it's in critical condition"

Then he tried to get me to open www.logmein123.com, yeah like that's not suspicious.

But the thing that pisses me off is, how the hell do these guys have my phone number?

They probably don't have your number, just access to the web, if you are listed in the white pages or any other phone book you can be found. That's the beauty of scams, they target everyone not just one person so the hit/miss ratio is low.

They've been doing this for a while I think, read something about it in the local paper at least a month ago. Worst thing is they're actually getting people with it.

People that comment on stuff articles (thinking of the Halberg ones specifically this morning).
Then again... I also piss myself off for being consistently stupid enough to read them.

I had something similar a couple of weeks ago.  I managed tos tall them for about 20 minutes, stifling laughter as I went.  I figured that the longer they were talking to me, the longer it'd be before they tried to scam somebody else.
 
It was probably a futile effort, in hindsight, but it sure was entertaining.

Yeah I was disturbed to get 2 spam TEXTS a couple of weeks ago saying id won 400,000 pounds. Heard of people ringing home phones but spam texts is a disturbing thing. Don't know how they got my number.
 
But then today i got a text from civic video in courtenay place,and it was the same number as the spam text (+502 or something)
 
Does this mean Civic were responsible for the spam texts? Or does it just mean they use the same company to send their texts (I don't know how these things work)

Lazy f**king journalism.  Seriously, who researches anything at the DP?
 
The new Queen Elizabeth is the second-largest ship to be built by Cunard, the company that built the Titanic.
 
Not it wasn't.  The Titanic was built by Haarland and Woolf in Belfast for the White Star Line.  Yes White Star was taken over/merged with Cuanrd but not until 20 years after the Titanic's captain shouted 'more ice'.

Two things:
 
1.  I think "DP" and "research" have always been mutually exclusive terms.
2.  You really are a Timothy Potter, trainspotter!
