We were lucky to attend the Paris Olympics last month. Now back home we’re captivated by the Paralympics. What these athletes have had to overcome and the Para opening ceremony that Paris put on was just incredible. If NZ are playing for a medal, I’m all in!!

@espn_macmahon Crazy that his salary deal is set by the media writers

@LeahPanapa A real shame … loved your show. It was fun and the chemistry with Mark was a joy to have on. Someone else will surely pick you up. Good luck!!

@WellsFargo are useless.
They've just closed our checking account unilaterally, because my wife did not change her address details on her login. Despite us changing it on my account settings on my account. We also have a mortgage with them. So much for customer service!!

Last month I launched @Capitalnz News.

Use this gift of enforced downtime to make a plan for your company. It will certainly be the most important thing you can do for yourself and business.

Here's a pic of great customer engagement on
@hotelsdotcom's Facebook messenger site. No effort to actually help a customer with a problem. Just an AI bot. Amazing how tone deaf and unresponsive they are.

[Antony Young @antonyyoung]

@hotelsdotcom are bloody useless. I wrongly posted a review on a motel I stayed at. Realising my mistake I have emailed them via their website and been trapped in a loop of completing a form and repeating my request five times. Can you share any issues you've had with them?

Who’s the dumbo at @SKYNZ and @espn that promotes the @marchmadness final game at least a dozen times during the replay of the @FinalFour game between @VirginiaSports v @AuburnMBB game. Final second win ruined by incompetent TV broadcasters.
