@woolworths the quality of your ‘fresh’ produce at your Kambah, ACT store leaves a lot to be desired.

The shopping experience there is very poor lately.

You can stop calling yourselves the “Fresh Food People.”

@woolworths just tried to do some shopping at your Kambah store. Self checkout needed a staff member to authorise, but no staff to be found. So I left my groceries, walked out and will now go to @Coles because that’s how consumer choice works.

Wow, @mebank is no longer offering credit cards. I guess it no longer sees itself as a one stop banking solution for its customers. Such a shame to see a once competent bank decline in service and products over the years.

@TK_HelpDesk I have replied to you.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@TK_HelpDesk
My luggage has been left in Bangkok. I advised your staff in Istanbul. But they refuse to do anything about it until I reach my final destination in Porto. What can I do to get my luggage reunited with me as soon as possible?

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@TK_HelpDesk I have DM’d you my email and booking number.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@TK_HelpDesk I wasn’t able to make a report. The Istanbul staff would not accept a report as I am not at my final destination.

12.40am UK time - The drones are pouring white paint on the boat.
12.51 UK time - The flotilla people remain in good spirit but they stay under cover because of the two quadcopters flying over them. These machines are made to kill, not just to surveil.

@PaulCarterlink Not zen for the wildlife.

Making stone cairns like this disrupts habitat, creates barriers for insects and small animals, and increases erosion.

The zen thing to do when you see them is return them to their natural state.

@Adzzym8 @iiNet Have new modem (AX1500].

It’s been a few days, streaming is now working again, no buffering during the program.

Still slow to load a website or streaming service initially. But tolerable.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@Adzzym8 @iiNet Will do.

I have found that #iinet starts by blaming the user and only after repeated outages, and faults and complaints will they send a tech to look into their own infrastructure.

@SenatorWong Israel’s war crimes have been on full display for nearly a year.

Australia supports genocide by trading with Israel, failing to speak out against war crimes, supporting illegal occupation and boycotting Nagasaki memorials.

Australia should be ashamed, so should you. #auspol

@RyanL65908 @iiNet Interesting. When I rang last week I was told that the wait was long because of the number of calls being received about the technical problems.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@RyanL65908 @iiNet No, at least they didn’t identify one to me, just went straight a new modem when they found what I was using .

A TG789vac v3 if that means anything to you.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@RyanL65908 @iiNet Hmmm.

I suspect #iinet is avoiding fixing a problem that is in their network by convincing users that the userks equipment is at fault.

I will just have to wait and see, but the issue is ongoing and seems correlated to heavy network use times such as evening and weekends.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@iiNet Local team is sending a new modem.
It’s a shame I had to call twice (with 40 minute wait times) and put up with substandard service for over a week.
Fingers crossed it fixes the problem.

[AMonkeyInSilk @AMonkeyInSilk]

@iiNet A 5 minute discussion and I am on hold again. #iinet
