gotta say, impressed with the response from the police. police dog was out quick and finger prints dusted an hour later.

DrTiTus · 19th July 2013, 22:42

Skinny Mobile's policy of cancelling your pre-pay plan if you don't have credit, and not re-activating it when you top up.

The couple of people I've spoken to didn't even realise they weren't on their plan anymore, and had been getting billed at standard rates since they switched! I'm sure they're not the only ones, either - it's a very sneaky system. Cheapest provider = biggest rip off.

I love playing golf - love watching it (when I can) - but the bullshit that surrounds it "in the clubrooms" just GMG's

We (as in NZ) were like this not too many years ago, and fek me, if at 36s in, this guy tries to defend the position.

Warning - it's like watching a car crash. !!!

i dont have an issue with a male only course, nor would i have an issue with a female only gym

StN · 22nd July 2013, 17:39

Reminds me of the story about a golf course where a female player complained that when she was playing on a green on a Thursday afternoon, she saw a male player urinating against a tree on an adjoining fairway.

She put this complaint in writing, and submitted it to the governing body. The body sat, discussed and considered the correct action to take, and ended up deciding that the best course would be to make Thursday afternoons a Men's only session.

These guys grind my gears:

Slow, lousy service, and, unlike my new repairer, they can't tell a five wire mirror connection from a nine wire one, and fitted the wrong mirror to my car, causing an minor accident when it didn't retract when I hit the button, and collected a Toyota mirror on a car parked out too far on Adelaide Road. Don't use them.

MadMax · 22nd July 2013, 21:42

Pretty sure the same guy my wife found in our house has returned - heard an unusual bang and found some guy in a car down the road.

Dog handler was here under a minute.

MadMax · 22nd July 2013, 21:51

Made a good job of breaking into the car. Clearly not the sharpest tool with all the noise he made

they may have fitted the wrong mirror, but i don't think it's their fault that you drove your mirror into another car when it didn't retract.

Hey Quint - are there any issues with claiming you are an engineer when you aren't?

Just that I was browsing throught some documents I got from EQC, and they mention that they "Rang EQC Engineer <Mr Engineers name> who advised that the damage was historic, so entire claim revised" - yet when I search the New Zealand register of Engineers, his name is not there. He may be a super engineer due to his ability to assess damage over the phone without consulting the previous assessment reports showing the progressive damage over several events - are they on a different register?

Pimp-X · 25th July 2013, 09:34

I enjoyed watching the "Structural Engineer" that wandered through our site after the 04 quake, and gave it the all clear.

Pretty sure he was looking at the floor the entire time. He sure didn't look inside any of the suspended ceilings or notice any of the cracked concrete in the prestressed beams..

Oh, or the filled cinder-block wall that has a diagonal crack about 3 meters long all the way through it.

Guess that isn't important huh!!

Long story short. No.
Had an arguement about this very thing while working for a company that was doing reports in regards to the chch assesments. I didn't agree with technicians signing reports off as engineers, for obvious reasons. It got fairly heated. again, long story short, techs get called engineers because the charge out rate varies massively. I could go on, but i shouldn't.

Following on from that, the initial investigations (i guess you'd call them) carried out wasn't by engineers, or even technicians. They basically collected teachers, ex-fireman, old cops and basically anyone that'd put on a hard hat and give an opinion (from what i understand, they were mostly drawn from oz).
Finally, registered engineers, i'd take it with a grain of salt. Most engineers that work in contracting don't have memberships, i'll let you draw your own conclusions on that.

The important stuff! been saying it for years bro, those toyota S6 rock socks, yea, my ole 1g puts out more torque than my 3L TDI 2010 ute,
with class leading towing capacity! /ad.

Nich · 25th July 2013, 11:18

My work gets called "drawings guy" in NZ, but in Australia it is "Engineering".

My guess at the definition is that the Engineer presents enough information, research, and detail so that the workable solution becomes apparent. And retrospectively, they provide enough information, research, and detail that faults and problems become apparent.

StN · 25th July 2013, 11:42

The awesome bit is that the name in the file is a portmanteau of the known EQC engineer and his handler, who apprantly tag team anyone questioning their rulings with a 10% offer hoping they will just go away - if the rumblings of the disenchanted are to be believed.
