Anything but slingshot. I admin their community forums and unfortunately of recent times, the number of complaints has skyrocketed. I am also affected. I have both a fault and complaint lodged with them and the end result is they have told me I'll probably never get my speeds back and I'll have to switch to another provider. I can't really go into details as to why this is the case, but all I can really say is that you'll only be OK if you can connect to their "better network". This is available in most of Auckland and Hamilton.

I got some killies from HFF So another update: It seems as if the security people for CAA don't mind the fact you have fish, but if the Air NZ staff see you with poly boxes they make a big fuss. Buying a carry on bag to hold the poly boxes would have made life a bit easier. We got on the plane anyway with them so all was good in the end. Fish are happy in their new home

Update: got through the security checks no problem. Have 2 poly boxes as carry on

How did you house them?

Thanks Not sure why I didn't see that thread in my searches.

So I'm wanting to do this tomorrow. It seems that people have had mixed experiences. I have 3 options I guess. Checked poly box, put poly box inside current checked suitcase or carry them on. I'll be flying Auckland to Christchurch and they're pretty likely going to x-ray. What do you think the best method would be?

Hi. I searched the forums but only found rather old posts. I was getting some fish couriered down from a store in Auckland but after visiting them today they suggested that it wasn't a good idea and that I should take them on my flight back tomorrow. Air NZ said I should have arranged it with them prior and it's too late to talk to cargo about it now. The fish shop said it should be fine either checking them or carrying them on. Does anyone have any experience, tips etc about this / know if I should just do it anyway? I was thinking if it's well packed then it should be fine to check in. Thanks

I got a reply from Dove. They say that the product is no longer available.

A computer wholesaler I use (Dove) sells Sony camera products. Their website lists no stock for any marine housings, but I am happy to ask them for a lead time if you let us know what model your camera is / which case you need.

Happy birthday That cake looks awesome. Enjoy!

Captain Tama's cruise is a must. It was the best activity I did when I was over there and I know many others that say the same thing. I didn't get to go diving or fishing, but that's meant to be pretty good too. If you book anything, make sure you get it in writing or see them write it down. If you're on the island when making a booking, go and see them to do it. The whole place runs on "island time" and they don't really honour bookings etc like we're used to over here. The scooters are a must. Great fun. The best places to stay are all on the south side where you are inside the reef. Great snorkeling. If you are going to rent a home and want to cook your own food, you can take things like vacuum packed meat with you. The food over there is expensive. You can get a 1L bottle of vodka for less than a packet of sizzlers. Duty free alcohol is really cheap over there, so are cigarettes. If you want either of those with you, I'd suggest getting it over there rather than in NZ. As far as the camera stuff goes, I got a $50 generic camera bag from Ski and Dive World in Christchurch. For a small point and shoot camera, it does the job fine and is rated down to about 5m. Allowed me to take hundreds of photos while snorkeling.

I'm always there, but not there at the same time

You sure you're not confusing them with cardinal tetras? $5-6 is pretty steep.

You'll probably find that down there they are roaming on Vodafones cell towers meaning your reception will be identical. They only have their own equipment in Auckland I believe, maybe some other main centres.

Awesome fish, I'm jealous

If you are subletting, I'd suggest getting a contract of some sort so that you can't be evicted like this. I've seen people ask the landlord to get an extra clause on their contracts that covers an eviction process for an individual on the lease. Personally I'd prefer this kind of approach with all the names on the lease.

I love all of VinsonMassif's and Cricketman's points. I'd say the opposite to bronze-dragon, don't be the head tenants. Either get a contract where you are all named on it and everyone signs, or sublet off someone else. Being the main people on the agreement means that if anything goes wrong, you're the one the landlord will come to. Doesn't matter if you didn't do it. Some additional points of my own: Establish the rules for parking / garage use. Might mean someone pays more for the privilege or you have a first in first served rule. Flat accounts are a good way to make sure everyone pays for the flat expenses (utilities / common items and food). Get everyone to pay a set amount into an account on a weekly basis and ensure that the statements are made available for everyone to see. Establish rules on how payment is made for anything with additional usage such as internet access or toll calls. Pay the bills (and rent if you want) out of this account using direct debits or automatic payments. Everyone has a different standard for cleanliness. You should establish your expectations at the beginning and enforce them so that people don't get into bad habits. Most importantly, clean up after yourself in every common area within 24 hours at the most. Unfortunately my current flatmates don't do this. Tempted to dump their mess in their rooms, including dishes that haven't been done for weeks.

I've seen this a few times. Typically it was caused by a virus or something that has partially or fully disabled your antivirus protection. When you try to look at an attachment, your mail software goes to scan it using your antivirus software but because your av software has been crippled, it ends up killing your mail client. You can test this scenario by disabling antivirus protection on your email to see if it fixes the problem. I'd suggest switching to a decent AV package. Bit Defender or NOD32 would be the 2 I would recommend. Personally I use NOD32 and I also use that for the AV protection for the company I work for.
