Hahahahahaha, fairly sure it was thanks to me that you did so well, my repair torch kept you alive on multiple occasions, even if it was me who was causing most of the damage!

Turns out it is not a good idea at all to fire rockets out of the little bird, no matter what angle.


Was doing OK in the bird. Next round guy I was getting a few times previous switches and decides to go repair man for me. I'm like. Good show.
Wasn't being helful, just RPGing us from the inside... Deliberately.



He did it a few times before I bailed him into the crane.

Renowned money pits. Every single little thing on them that can break, does.
And not the cheap shit either. I mean like entire engine rebuild.
I have heard that although the car has a pretty solid service history and is pretty well looked after. If it does start showing signs of explosions will sell that shit so fast lol

Had the worst taxi of my life last night.

This old chap, first he went on about drunks, then jews, then how the Anglican and Catholic cathedrals have been struck down by God because they preach blasphemy.
Lectured us on creationism, couldn't drive for shit, and then at the end of the journey took 5 minutes to put through eftpos transaction because he kept interrupting the process by continuing his rants.

I rang up straight after and complained, putting in this written complaint now:

Quote
To whom it may concern,

Further to a phone conversation held early on the morning of Sunday the 20th of November with a Corporate Cabs telephone operator, I am writing to query whether or not action is being taken with regard to the events taking place whilst I was under the care of services by Corporate Cabs, namely that of Car ---; and employee --- ----.

As stated in the phone call, throughout the duration of my journey from Christchurch Central to Fendalton, I was made increasingly uncomfortable by the actions and conversation held with Mr. Gage. My friend and I were cautious of the quality of driving exercised, with failure of indication when turning, and the 'running' of orange and possibly red-lights at busy intersections along Bealey Avenue.

Perhaps unqualified to question the driving standard of your employees, we were certainly more offended by the statements made by Mr. Gage namely the disparaging remarks regarding ethnic groups within New Zealand, particularly Jewish demographics. And further affronted by the lecture we received in response to our identifying of atheists regarding the existence of a Christian god.

Notwithstanding my total belief that -- ---is entitled to his opinions, I did not find them appropriate or within the realms of polite conversation. I also believe that many customers would also feel similar. Ethnic prejudice is not acceptable in today's market and society.

While the services of Corporate Cabs has been outstanding and a credit to the organisation, I am not comfortable with continuing or referring any future business without the confidence in knowing such issues are rectified.

I would appreciate a response regarding this matter.

Sincerely,


The idiot is certainly not helping the stereotype of old afrikaner ex-pats.

Actually no, I find them to be as cheap if not cheaper than most other services in Christchurch. They are generally much better for service and arriving promptly. The drivers are generally very polite and enjoyable, it's a shame this dickhead has marred their reputation.

I do enjoy the customer service I generally get from them, they have my number on-file with the amount of business I've done with them and I usually get priority cabs and things like that. Much better than flagging down the next one off the rank.

I just played BF3 CO-OP for the first time.




All the fucking enemies are invisible. Homeboy is sitting there shooting hardout, while I'm prancing around like a spastic because I can't see anything to shoot.
The occasional tracer bullet comes out of nowhere, but they're not common.

All of a sudden: knifed.

Quote from: Fran O\'Sullivan
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
