I want your junk!
For one of many projects underway here!
I am seeking the following items (was going to just head to Bunnings but thought maybe you guys / my neighbours might have things to sell / get rid of, so I'll start here!)
Mesh / Chicken wire
Wood (of assorted shapes, sizes & types)
Tree stump (singular! Only need one)
Kids (size) broken bicycle (Will not be for riding)
Corrugated iron (ideally long lengths) or something to use as a roof (if you have something better, I am all ears, thanks!)
Wooden lattice 'bits' (I should go into marketing hah)
Polystyrene (ideally large sheets)
And IDEAS - I need ideas too - please!
This particular project is to create a fun aviary / play area for my pet magpie. When I have visitors I have to lock her away because she's (spring has sprung and she's feeling very protective! ie PSYCHO lol) decided everyone has feet wot need attacking.. So while she's incarcerated, I figure she should have some fun ..
So as I say, ideas for fun things she could have in the enclosure would be great too .. thanks everyone!
And yes that's her pictured, asleep on my german shepherd's feet ;)
She isn't always horrid lol
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
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.
