@occasionali Ali how wonderful for you. Congratulations bigly

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

I would imagine that a company of Bosch’s stature would take immediate steps to investigate this problem. Care to comment?

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@TanklessWaters hey Bosch here is a TF400 -8GLP water heater that would t deliver hot water. The water still flowed through and the gas burner lit but due to corrosion failure of the flue grilles a bird nested right on top of the heat exchanger

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

The nest didn’t catch fire fortunately then set the house alight. Bosch NZ have responded that the 2 year warranty has expired and it’s our problem. Really?

@therealgregjack @rbfitzweld2 Bar opened at 6:00am closed at 10:00pm. Free beer but very few abused the privilege. Site safety didn’t seem any the worse for it either. I have worked in many zero tolerance workplaces since and the accident rates weren’t any better than that brewery.

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@therealgregjack @rbfitzweld2 Worked in a large brewery in the 1980’s and we had a 6:00 am clock in. There was invariably an old timer at the clock punching through cards for his shift mates. looked like he was holding a canasta hand!

@OpinionistNZ @nzlabour The top dishonesty award goes to you.

As has been accurately reported this was a ministry failure and zero accountability for @NZLabour or the official who had followed conflict of interest procedure correctly.

@KarinMary1 Similarly a former business partner once complained angrily that he was being bombarded with email from porn sites. He looked somewhat embarrassed when I asked if it was possibly due to his browsing habits

@MarkGraham_Akl @NewstalkZB Was thinking more of the US kicking that multi trillion debt ceiling down the road seemingly without consequence

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@MarkGraham_Akl @NewstalkZB No, I didn’t go there M. Cept very obliquely

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@bangonomics @publicaddress Climate change is going to send us back regardless, and your ‘even Elon Musk’ comment, really?

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@Granthod @elonmusk Billionaire promotes brainless glove puppet for president.

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@BexGraham How’s his maths I wonder

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@BexGraham That old false dichotomy ploy

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@StrayDogNZ @melulater Owning his asshat status.

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

The @ASBBank customer firewall aka customer service phone number has a new excuse for rebuffing customer enquiries. Tired of the old ‘unusually heavy call loading’ chestnut? Try the new ‘system fault, please try again later’ response…

[Phillip Armstrong @only_a_ripple]

@CitizenBomber There’s no ‘get kickback’ from private sector mates step in that cycle
