The next America's cup and boat style
My patient little knitted companion from Ballantynes has just handed me his lettered note, he suggests that wakas could be the next style of boats, held on the River Avon (Kerr's Reach).
with at least two wahine or women crew on each boat. (He is well aware of the effects of racial and sexual discrimation.
If Horseshoe lake was cleaned up, it could be used to moor the boats and again supply spectators the opportunity to see the tight manoeuvring as they practice.
He opines that the winds should not be too much of a problem, and the opportunity for spectators to view would be supreme.
I told him not to hold his breath and suggested that if he wants more alphabet soup he had better let me win the next chess game and if he pulls that 'en passant' again he may find the chess board framed round his neck. Cheers all, pleased we won, and loved the fact there were no dirty tactics or protests like previous.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Premature theft
Increasing the cost of fuel in anticipation before any actual justification I regard as blatant premeditated theft.
The CEO's who condone this premature theft for their share holders BEFORE they have any justified reasons will not be so quick and prematurely reduce the price when the situation is reduced.
Nor if the situation is quickly restored will they arrange payback if they have over reacted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
