My little Indian guy who delivers AustPost stuff, is a nice kid. I always say "thanks" and "how are you today" .... he seems to appreciate the fact that I actually thank him for ringing my doorbell. It doesn't take much to be NICE to people who are just trying to earn a dollar.cods wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 6:31 pmnef you do realise he knows where you live dont you??????????> in fact they all do......couriers I mean..Neferti~ wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 5:52 pmOn a HOT and HUMID day, the "delivery" asian adult needed to be TOLD ....

I've been dealing with an Indian at my local council lately - I think he said his name was Myhat Mycoat - thats my best guess anyways.

Re: Damned heatwave!!
you're not one of these people that say that you luv the hot weather but then complain about the first hot day you get and hide in front of an air conditioner all day long like folks in Darwin are you?Black Orchid wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 5:10 pmJust got my shopping delivered so I'm fine but this is the second time the Coles delivery driver's eftpos machine wasn't working.
They expect me to verbalise my card over his device. The idiot supervisor on the other end says "we turn off the recording first" ... but what about the delivery driver standing right next to me?? Then the idiot supervisor says "fine we will just cancel the order".
Anyway I went outside and did it. "Customer service" is going to get an earful from me later
anyways - you should have already paid for the groceries online before they got delivered - I don't know anyone who gets a delivery and then pays.

Re: Damned heatwave!!
NO!! I HATE SUMMER!! Absolutely detest it and don't pretend otherwise. My beach bunny days are long behind me and I would gladly live where it snows. I think I only wore a THIN jumper twice this winter and couldn't wait to get home and take it off because I was too warm. I love the coldSerial Brain 9 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 7:39 pmyou're not one of these people that say that you luv the hot weather but then complain about the first hot day you get and hide in front of an air conditioner all day long like folks in Darwin are you?Black Orchid wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 5:10 pmJust got my shopping delivered so I'm fine but this is the second time the Coles delivery driver's eftpos machine wasn't working.

Re: Damned heatwave!!
it doesn't take long to warm up once you move inland a few kilometres off the beach (where I am now)
I plan to move inland just a little bit so that I don't get that constant cold breeze - I may regret that on a hot day - but here they are few and far between - so I am setting myself up for the other 95% of the year.
hopefully it doesn't backfire

Living close to the beach makes cars & everything else made of steel, rust very quickly.

Re: Damned heatwave!!
So now it's someone else's turn to burn ... currently in sunny sub tropical kweensland it's cloudy and not too bad ... but ....
Back in late Nov early Dec it hovered around 40c mots days for weeks, and I worked in it numerous times.
Had a couple of my surveillance cameras go down. Checked one of my newer/fancier cameras (which record temps) and it showed on the 2nd of Dec it was 48C at 2pm ... 27C at midnight .. and took til 4am next morning go down to 25C.
I figured that must have been the day I stayed wet all day.
Then we got rain and it stayed cloudy for a week (got 1 inch in the guage).

If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?
