  Calendar girls club forced to take down posts
Posted by: Lilith7 - 27-07-2025, 03:26 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

This dispute's been going on for some time & now the club has been made to take down posts identifying women suing them.
I'd really love to see these women win this, they've been treatly unfairly.

  Accessing my Downloads folder
Posted by: harm_less - 24-07-2025, 09:03 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (11)

Over the past couple of days if I try to access my downloads folder I just get a "Working on it" message with no progress and the message at top of page Downloads (Not Responding). All other folder I can get into except for Downloads. Any suggestions? I'm running W10, but keep getting bothered by MS about upgrading to W11.

Also just did a MS update but fobbed them off on the final move by choosing the 'decide in 3 days' option.

  Israeli govt continues to deliberately starve Palestinians
Posted by: Lilith7 - 24-07-2025, 03:48 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

If this isn't deliberate genocide then its the best imitation ever. Israel's govt should be ashamed & should step down immediately. And be tried for war crimes, together with the leaders of Hamas. Angry

  "Kiwis not getting a raw deal" on butter prices
Posted by: Lilith7 - 24-07-2025, 03:42 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (24)

According to Cruella de Ville, aka Nicola Willis those complaining about the cost of butter aren't getting a raw deal. Which is all very well for her, others though are likely to be struggling.
I'm glad I use an olive oil spread instead.



She also said that her meeting with head of Fonterra, Miles Hurrell was 'constructive & engaging'.... but when RNZ approached him he wouldn't be interviewed. Rolleyes

"But I get it. Butter is expensive right now"...I wonder whether anyone actually asked her the price of butter at present. I'd put money on her not having a clue.
