Friday Night Rants?

[Moi]

I'm over Auckland, neigh on gridlocked traffic, fucked by weak governance for younger people by Politicians who are only interested in themselves.
Once all the Baby Boomers have shuffled of to that great Harley Accessory shop in the sky things should settle down.

Being retired means no traffic hassles morning and night... was lucky with last position as travelled against the flow. As for the lack of governance, don't start me. I'd start by laying blame at the feet of a certain MP from Epsom and then make sure a few more got some sh*t on their shoes...

[Maha]

More of a saturday night rant...
What is it with people who move to a quiet country village for the lifestyle then keep the entire bloody village up with a party....The bass is up so loud that my bloody house is jumping - and i'm 200 yards away. There is no escape from it.
They've already had two visits from the council noise people - and disregarded them...Now well past the local time limit for noise. And an illegal open fire outside too.

Job for tomorrow is to find out who the landlord is of that property. Last lot we had like this, the landlord really didn't like getting calls at midnight about his tenants....

Lets see if the leaving crowd starts doing skids around the village - that should get the hosts tarred and feathered.

We had some Hori's a few doors down night one doing the same thing, we called noise control but they would be an hour and a half away at best and I was to call back if the shit had quietened down before then. I went and fronted the party myself, luckily there was a rather sober female who could understand me and turned the sounds down ''is that enough''? ...''no a bit more'' 10 minutes later they left.

[russd7]

And an illegal open fire outside too.


phone the 111 about the fire too, they dont always, but will bill them for wasting time if it's a regular.

what makes the fire illegal, if its restricted fire season due to a ban then yeah the fire peoples can put it out but if its not and if its not a danger to life or property then no the fire people can't put it out.
now before you ring 111 consider the fact that if it is a small village then the local fire are most likely vollies which mean they donate their time freely, but i can tell you this, if you ring 111 at 1am just to piss the neighbors off then you are gonna have some mighty pissed off vollunteers for two reasons, one you have interrupted their night and two you have committed resources to some petty squabble that may be needed at a real emegency.

in short if its neighbors at war leave the vollies out of it and lay a complaint with ya local council.
they will not get billed for the call but if it is a falsey and you do it often then you will most definitely get billed for it

what ax is referring to i think is false calls from PFA's which will get billed if happen to often and that includes schools and hospitals and rest homes as well as businesses.

having said that i understand your frustration and the landlord is often the best option

[mossy1200]

Took us 25 noise control complaints 2 popo visits to get rid of the renters next door. Mid week band practices at 1am and parties till 4am on weekends were almost a weekly event.
It ended up being the landlord wouldn't renew them another year that got them out after she had been approached by noise control to sort them out.
The graffiti in the neighbourhood has stopped now also which is good. Nothing worse than finding tags on your walls and garage door after a sleepless night.

[sidecar bob]

I had some pricks partying all night next door a couple of years back.
I bought their house & chucked them out.
A few months later I bumped into the worst offender, he said, "If I'd known you were going to rent it out, I would have stayed" yeah, well I get a choice now, & you fuckin don't.
Lovely neighbours there now though. :msn-wink:

[george formby]

I've found firing up the chainsaw and chipper under the neighbours bed room window at 6am a great way to enter negotiations about "reasonable levels of noise".

[Grumph]

Thanks for the comments and ideas....Already spoken to the local VFB, the fire is illegal due to no open fires in the built up area. The VFB are a bunch of tough bastards and if they'd come, it would be out, no arguments....
The council are going to get a rocket on monday from several here as the security firm they hire for noise enforcement "couldn't find" the adress....

Sitting in the car eating bloody doughnuts somewhere more likely.

Noise died down when his next door neighbour arrived home at 1am...much shouting and it sounded like an amp got busted, lol...
Then up again at 3am - and right through to dawn...
Just been over to see him in daylight. Asked for the bass to be turned down as my pounding headache from last night wasn't pleasant...
Complied quietly.

He's not going to find it pleasant living out here after last night. Edit - even less pleasant - we've just discovered he's already "known to the police" - who are going to have a quiet word in his ear, LOL.

I feel for ya, Bass seems to be at its worst the further away from the source you are. The music is fine, you can not hear it, but Bass is like Japanese water torture.

I have lost my temper on a few occasions, but restraining orders, trespass notices etc cause other issues if your a hunter.

Smashing all their light fittings out of the ceilings and the offending power points with a baseball bat usually ends with a quiet party in the dark.

In his own unique way mr dangerous does make a valid point.

The number of cunts that come from 3 cars back to pull in front of me when merging, then proceed to drive at 10-20 below the speed limit for the rest of the time I'm stuck behind them, I do wonder about the brain processes (or lack of) that are going on.

Just waiting for the boy to finish getting his licence, then it's all bets off in the $1000 shitbox to see if I can fuck up some arseholes day and write the thing off on their their insurance excess, and collect more than I paid for the piece of crap.

you don't have it on your own. See it every morning and night. The effort others put in to get ahead by another car length, and stress they put themselves under. If only they looked ahead they can see the traffic is stopped just ahead.

found just going with the flow, chilling out on my travels has made things go much easier.
same with riding me bike, don't really care when I get where I am going, it's the journey and the people I am with/going to meet that is important. Can always go faster at a race track.

Hope the weather improves over the weekend so I can go for a ride....

Fucken NZTA,bastards etc.I have a 30 year old 400cc bike and when getting a warrant the other day it was noticed that NZTA had it listed as 249cc-obviously a typo from when they switched to digital.Simple thought I,a quick phone call and get them to correct their error.No fucken way mate,have to fill out a form and supply manufactures spec sheet etc showing that model is a 400cc.But says I,have a look at your LAMS list and you will clearly see its a 400-Nah,you need to fill in the form and supply info-Right says I,what about this then,I have two of these bikes,pull up rego # ***** and see what cc rating that says (it says 398cc)-not interested-gotta fill out the form and supply info.I think it was that time of the month or a man hater.I cannot see why I should be responsible for fixing someone else mistake so I guess my bike will remain at 249cc,maybe ACC levies will will drop to cover bikes up to 250cc sometime in the future and I will have a win.Cunts.

It's not an option with a mobile display. The outdoor is on the back of the same trailer wall. So whatever we'reputting out as heat needs to be given away as cold on the other side.

Oncoming car cutting the corner more.

Oncoming car is fully in my lane.

I swerve off the road to avoid douchebag.

All the disco lights on my dash lit up.

Ute is sideways (grass isn't very grippy on a 75k corner at 100km/h).

I get the ute under control (or did the stability control?) And carry on driving.

Douchebag carries on with life.

today i had a sick day, woke with a headache from hell, results of using to many harsh chems at work, anyway, we have this washing machine that started leaking about seven years ago but as we had another i just swapped them over and figured that i would get round to fixing, that was seven years ago. well the washer we are using is starting to play up so i figured i would drag the other washer out and fix it. pulled it out and first thing i did was check the pump, well fuck me the amount of coins and hair clips and fucken hair ties i pulled out of there it was no wonder it was leaking and not working. well i thought i had just had an easy fix and a win, wheeled it out to the outside tap hooked up some water and power and started it up.

clang bang what the fuck, shut everything off and opened up the door and here are some arms i had lost about house moves ago, put them somewhere safe didn't i. started up machine again and water started pouring out shut everything off and unplugged from power and ripped back off machine and got down on hands and knees and looked up and fuck me if there isn't a hole chewed in the plastic outer bowl by a rat. shifted that heavy fucken thing three houses since it started leaking, what a waste that was.

I've just more than doubled the value of my ancient Morrison ride-on, fuck it....

Actually serviced and gave the bastard an oil change before starting on the acreage, you'd hope it appreciated that...

But no...got 2/3 done and broke the main drive belt engine/gearbox....$60 odd, fuck.

Then doing the south pasture and using crawler gear to cut the 8 inch long grass it broke one of the two cutter drive belts. May as well have broke both as one wouldn't cut it (accurate report, no pun...)
Another $110 later for a new pair of belts - long bastards too - and the job's done - till next week when it starts again....

And no, sheep are not an option sadly.

Mate, the bite whether spider or insect that can infect with the Staph bug is fucking painful, They normally start you off with Flucloxacillin antibiotics (sp) I have found, regular bathing of the wound and using heat like a wheat pack on the covered wound helpful. Magnesium suflate on the poltice may help.

One Tough kid. yes they seem to get a hard lump under the wound that spreads, mark around the redness with a permanent marker so you can see if its increasing or decreasing, it will take probably 6-7 days of the antibiotics before you see an improvement.

Back in the days when I went round the nationals, stayed at a motel in Timaru. Slept on a fold out sofa. Once home the cold like symptoms I'd had all weekend got worse....It wasn't till my wife saw my back we realised i'd been bitten by something. Big central red spot and red lines going out for about a foot.
Antibiotics for a fortnight. Surprisingly little pain though - presuimably because it didn't develop a secondary infection.

Rang the motel and had a rant...recommended spraying the furniture for spiders as they'd told me the fold out hadn't been used for some time.

I work in Auckland with 'the media', and you wouldn't believe the bubble we work in.

You would think that the self labelled "globally aware", "socially enlightened" people amongst us would at least see that what happens to the general population of NZ (seeing as Auckland is really just a barometer for the rest of the country tbh), will soon happen to our jobs and incomes once global media organisations take, or outsource our jobs (internet anyone?).

Not easily checked of course either. But in my experience motorcycling is heavily white dominated - not a term I wanted to use but accurate. In over 60 years of exposure to motorcycle sport I can only recall a handful of Maori competitors. In the US again, I understand you see very few Black competitors.
Given how many racers are on the bones of their arses and can barely afford to race I doubt it's an economic thing - maybe genetic ?

Notwithstanding the ongoing dispute about the results of previous driving tests with the bitch from VTNZ who seems to make up undocumented reasons for failing driving tests, which falls into the 'don't start it, I'll fucking finish it' category, and if you try and bullshit your way out of fuckup you're just digging a bigger hole....

Has anyone else noticed (haven't read through this entire thread so apologies if this has already been covered) how more and more eating establishments are asking "and would you like to add a tip for your waitress?" when you go to pay the bill?
While I appreciate decent service, I do expect that the waiting staff are being paid their worth by their employer. Possibly there are some who deserve to be paid less; but shouldn't these workers wages be enough? It irks me that this Amercanism is creeping in when New Zealand has never, to my knowledge anyway, been a country where tipping is expected.

I simply state "no" and pay my bill. No one has ever challenged that decision, although maybe some cashier staff are uncomfortable asking to begin with. Is it a hospitality industry requirement now (like staff in clothing shops being required to try and "extra sell" other items with what you have purchased)?

If I ever do get asked why I'm not prepare to tip my waitress I'll respond by asking "why, are you not paying her/him what they are worth to do good job?"

In some countries it is considered an insult to tip as the staff take pride in the job they do, and the fact that they do it to the best of their ability.

What is going on here? Anyone in the industry able to shed light?

Having lived in the States, you are expected to tip there, regardless of the service. It does seem an odd thing to do for us kiwi's, but after a while you do get used to it ( i.e. when in Rome etc ). They do look after you in restaurants , bars, etc, as in they go out of their way to make sure your dining/drinking experience is a good one., much more so than in NZ. For example, in a pub , the only reason I had to get up was to piss ( never to go 2 the bar and get another beer ) they bring it to you. Also in restaurants, you typically get as much soft drink as you want at no extra charge, but you kinda are expected to factor this into the tip.

So, I have no problem tipping in the US , but here, I doubt the staff do anything above and beyond to deserve it.

If you do get crap service or are generally unhappy with the establishment/food ( in the State ) , etc, to tip 1 cent ( a US penny ) is considered way more insulting than not tipping at all!

A friend of mine who is Hawaiian educated me on the need to tip while we were there a few years ago. I do get that many workers there are paid so poorly that tips are essential to them making enough to live. On that front I have no problem with observing the required rules when in the States. New Zealand however has not been a country with this expectation. I'm sure plenty of people would love the extra that tipping supposedly provides but how soon will it be before workers here come to think they have a right to your extra $ above and beyond what you are already paying.

[ellipsis]

...I've never had a problem with tipping someone in the service industry here if they have gone beyond their pay rate to make you happy or exude what you see as real professionalism...quality service deserves recognition...but only if you want to...

I'm fucking sick of fixing broken things.

In the last couple of weeks a radiator in a pulsar, a radiator in a mercedes, fucked tyre due to leaking forks due to incorrectly assembled front hub on a mountainbike, gears not working on another mountainbike, blown radiator hose on the same pulsar due to overheating because the electric fans aren't working which I also now need to fix, fucked back wheel that needs replacing on a mountainbike. None of these things are mine.

I'd much rather be working on my projects (while ignoring the list of house things that need doing), now that I've finished rewiring the caravan so it doesn't trip the RCD at the caravan park because some fucker changed the rules, if I can find more than 10 minutes without something else eating my time.

So. Rider training. Do they teach people how to park?

Rolled in to Macca's this morning with the offspring and seven spaces were taken up by seven bikes. Clearly a lesson was in progress given the type of bikes and the number of L plates but the way people were parked were like it was done on purpose just to piss other people off. It's not like they were random spaces split by cars that were already parked, there were three bikes parked in three adjacent spaces.

I don't know. I try not to piss car drivers off too much but this seemed like a big fat middle finger to everyone.

Some would argue that when you park two bikes in a car space, people (non bike riding type people) will still try and squeeze through, making contact with your bike. I wouldn't be the only motorcyclist that has returned to my bike to find a mirror facing the other one. One bike per car park is fine is such an area as you have described, most can get through without making contact with someones possession, even while carrying a family pack.

as a group we had 15 bikes parked over five spaces at a busy gas station while we had a break and ate a pie or two, we still got abused by a dickhead in a fancy car that couldn't find a park.

another time stopped at a gas station in dunners again having a break and a pie or two and one of the guys left his bike a the pump, the place was not busy and had three lines of pumps and an older gent got abusive because he couldn't get to that particular pump. was absolutely no reason not to use one of the other ones . there is no law saying more than one bike per park.

[neels]

We were told at work there was no need for more motorbike parking, the shed that takes 4 bikes at a squeeze is enough.

Suffice it to say it's now one bike per car park, and the motorcyclists get to work early so get the parks close to the building, it's amazing how much bitching there is about having to walk another 50m from car to door........

[Berries]

there is no law saying more than one bike per park.
It's just a courtesy thing in my mind. The cars could conceivably have had one person in them, well, not at McDonalds but you get my drift, so one person per parking space is fine. They were all learners so I cut them some slack, those GN125's are bastards to park I am sure, so I refrained from carrying out the old Snowman move when I left. Nobody was going to walk through the spaces and knock mirrors - it did actually look like some kind of protest, which it clearly wasn't. Just new riders being extra cautious.
