@FlyAirNZ "We are helping other customers at the moment. We should be able to answer your call within approximately 45 minutes." *music* "... 50 minutes." *music* "... 55 minutes" *music* Seriously, what clock are you using? @FlyAirNZ

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

Not been here for years. Just need to vent my frustration at @FlyAirNZ dropping my calls, popping me back in the hour-long queue, without the decency to call back to continue help with my flight arrangements which they decided to disrupt without providing a solution. 1/2

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

@FlyAirNZ Also not responding for 2 hours on Facebook Messenger now, or even providing any queue indication. By far the worst customer service experience since moving to New Zealand 4.5 years ago. @FlyAirNZ 2/2

@Shadowfoot @hadyngreen @GellingAgent @simonpnz But he is ⬆️.

@Marco_Langbroek Tijden zijn lokaal: Nieuw Zeeland. Ja de beweging is wat frappant. Nog niet eerder zo'n aberratie gezien, maar mogelijk dat de vreselijk heldere Alnitak dat doet? Wel piepklein raar plekje dan :D Hmmm... *tuurt naar nog een stapel data*

@Marco_Langbroek HOI! Vraagje. Planetarium software zegt NOPE. So maybe this isn't a comet/asteroid despite the look? Or maybe it is? (Crude photoshopped video of all 157 raw images: https://t.co/zetC2esBve ) Any idea? Groenten uit Nieuw Zeeland.

Thank you @satyanadella. Your words mean a lot to us here at @TeamIntergen in this difficult time. Syed was simply another person like myself and so many of us here who came to make a great life with great people in this great country. This event is a huge loss for all of us. 💔

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

Hate and violence have no place in our society. We mourn all the victims of the horrific attack in New Zealand including Atta Elayyan and Syed Jahandad Ali, who were part of our Microsoft MVP and partner communities. Our hearts are with the victims’ families and loved ones.

It's been about a year since @twitter enabled its spam notifications ( https://t.co/Uewwmdijgj ) and still not provided an option to stop them, so have now deleted the app. Platform has become more nuisance than use.

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

Disappointed by @TransferWise’s inclusion of @POLiPayments, showing lack of care for consumers and undermining its own trustworthiness by condoning services that require customers to enter their online banking credentials in third party websites.

@jonmaimon @memary @BestProAdvice It doesn't say what it means, but wondering if it's "Settings and privacy -> Notifications -> Push notifications -> Moments" ?

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

Well I DID think @Uber was cool. Until they illegally charged me $10 after the driver cancelled on me, and their ‘support’ is talking as if it’s my fault and they are right to charge money without providing a service. Byebye Uber. 🤮

@NZInlandRevenue I am in NZ from late December. That means this current tax year I am here for far less than 183 days, but in the 12 month period 12/2017-12/2018 I am here pretty much entirely. So am I tax resident during the current tax year or not? (Tax code M or ME?)

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

@DVLAgovuk I'm transporting and registering my motorcycle permanently overseas. Do I need to do something official to unregister it from the UK or will it just automatically lapse?

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

Once more @Adobe not letting me renew my photography plan after having moved to a new country. Every year/move the same incompetent bollocks, having to wait for their live chat people to get back into the office to sort their mess out. #faceplant #fail

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

I still don’t believe in bitcoins and blockchains. And so far I’ve not been proven wrong. https://t.co/NhGjWqvzrN

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

STRAYA!!!!! I’m back. 🎉

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

Hardly use the @Apple Music app on iPhone/iPad as iOS STILL can’t clear the up-next queue. Lugging laptop everywhere 😖 @tim_cook #immobile

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

Long expected: Windows 10 Mobile officially dead. I disagree with the UX comment though. Is way better than Android. https://t.co/Ogz6WmXbPu

@jeannieeek Really? I am! Live & work in Northampton to be exact. But, hey, #omg how amazing!

[Steffen M. Boelaars @smboelaars]

@jeannieeek Yeeeeeey! Amazing place. So see you there then? 😄 Have a stopover in Melbourne, but only 3 hours 🙈
