Anyone close enough to know (with some certainty) if the Cook Strait Ferries are operating at normal (or near) capacity yet?
I am talking mainly about commercial transport and specifically car transporters.
Brother in law has a large piece of farm equipment being shipped and it has been sitting in Wellington depot for nearly 2 weeks waiting to get on ferry.
Cant get much from transport company and ferry Co phone just goes to answerphone.
Thank you.

Why the hell do I keep having to reboot every time I select Netflix on my smart Tv? It's really starting to p*ss me off.
It either doesn't load or I get the message, "We're having trouble accessing this title for you now. Please try again later".

But if I turn it off and on again at the wall, it loads.
What a PITA!
Any ideas on what's going on as I'm about to give up on it altogether?
Thanks

Just doing a bit of a survey here:    How many readers are interested in my sexual orientation?  [ Middle aged white person ]

Brief and honest answers please...  eg  yes; no; keep it to yourself...etc..

I find that someone starts a thread about something and not even halfway through it gets hijacked by a totally different subject and yes I'm guilty of doing this myself.
So this thread is an anything goes thread, hijack it turn it around no need to follow what anyone is saying, just go for it. Talk about anything.
Lets see what happens.
