Which TV Ads grind your gears?
Ones I dislike the most are the Mother Nature ones specificaly when the guy runs out of power in his EV and the power outlet doesnt reach his car to top it up , and then along comes Mother Nature to sort it all out!
The Electric Kiwi ad where the word broadband is used several times in a monotone sound that is supposed to be singing and they are playing cricket in the back yard.
I do have several others I could rave on about but what are yours?

Seems to be the blame for alot of the devastation such as bridges washed out.
Kinda ironic, since this industry is supposed to be our saviour to climate change!
Now they are worried about the timber industry suffering.
Well perhaps they should be farming the land instead of planting it all in pines.
Why don't the sell the stuff as firewood anyway?
They just leave it to rot, apparently the greens stopped them from burning it all off, so they have alot to answer for.
Even better, they should send it to the Huntly power station, since it turns out it can run on wood!

I am moving into a unit in a retirement village in April. Obviously I cannot move in until it is paid for but the unit is not occupied so I thought that they would not mind if I moved some of my belongings in before I moved but they said no. They said that I cannot move belongings in until two weeks before the move in date.
Reason? Because they have had people move their furniture in before the due date and then pull out because they have suffered from a heart attack or a stroke.
While I'm feeling fine I don't suppose there is any way I can say I won't suffer a heart attack or stroke so I will just have to wait a few weeks.
That quite surprised me. I never would have thought of that as a reason for not moving some of belongings in.

Flash Drive disappearing folder/files |

Have a dodgy cursor occassionally plays up, sometimes it just deletes files or tabs or closes them when it's over them. Usually I'm quite careful to make sure it's not over anything unless going to do something. (getting new laptop soon). Have got round the deleted emails get back from Trash or the closed web tabs by Ctrl T
But today I had a flash drive in looking at a list of old folders with photos in.
I glanced up and it was saying "... Moving. " and the folder disappeared, then it quickly did the next one, before I could move/stop it.
It didn't say deleting it said "moving", where would it have moved the folder to or are they gone
I had look in C drive for recycle bin not there

Did anyone happen to catch this last might on Maori TV? I'd forgotten it was on & missed the first few minutes but it was brilliant, if a bit harrowing in places.
I was especially pleased to see a brief clip from Miranda Harcourt's piece from her prison work which was shown on TV years ago. I thought then that it was very well done, affecting & likely to do some good along the way. And so it seems, with the man the doco is about citing it as a huge influence in helping him to get himself sorted & turn his life around.
Often the reason for boys joining gangs is having been removed from family & put into an institution. Where sadly, they were often abused.
