VODAFONE
I would like to warn anyone that would like to have Vodafone as your provider.
I have been try to get a landline in my house for the last 8 weeks with the 4g package that they put me on. I even hired my own tec guy to call them, and arrange put a landline in. The tech guy said that he arrage the same package for his grandmother and that Vodafone can put a landline on that package.
I Was waiting and waiting for our land line to be connected. Then I called again to vodafone regarding the landline Vodafone said that they have no order of a landline at all. Well I have given up on calling them. I asked for compensation, Vodafone put me on hold for one and a half hours, and all the weeks of stress that I went through talking to vodafone and explaining the whole story each time to them. I even spoken to the manager which did not help at all and every time you call Vodafone you would talk to a diffrent person from overseas. I have never ever had been through this with any provider before and be treated like a nothing. I have organize to go to 2degrees.
Summer on the South Coast
Summer is here again! Fantastic weather beckoning all to get out and enjoy it.
So my request is, if you are cycling, running, walking on our beautiful south coast roads between Breaker Bay and Ohwiro Bay - please be courteous to all road users, even those of us stuck in cars.
The roads are scenic, but they are also narrow, with lots of blind corners. This makes it very difficult for faster moving traffic (cars) to pass slower moving traffic (cycles, walkers, runners). On a bad day this can result in frustrated cars making rash decisions to overtake - putting everyone in danger.
If you are enjoying the coast road on a cycle, and there are cars behind you, please do be considerate and pull over when you have a chance so that they can pass. "Hugging the left" does not really help on a narrow road with blindspots. Stopping is ideal.
If you are enjoying coast on foot, please be conscious of visibility and stay off the road where possible.
If you are enjoying the coast in a car, please be courteous to others - good will spreads, unfortunately so does selfishness.
Lastly - everyone watch out for penguins, they were here first but they don't read Neighbourly or road signs.
Happy and Safe summer everyone.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
