Id certainly trust a cross section of main stream rather than some idiot that only has opinions no facts and hides behind a keyboard. I think uncheck news (and I use that term loosely) is worry for all of us.

From what I’ve read in Australian news (before FB shut it down), you seem to benefit from a reasonably wide range of news representation and views. That, unfortunately, is not the case in NZ.

How’s your ankle @Pete_the_painter ?

I fell down our stairs yesterday and was back at hospital after a few painkillers and a lecture from a doctor younger than my granddaughter I’m much better today. Still hoping around but on the mend, thanks for asking.

Strewth mate, that’s not taking it easy!

I’m a restless type, just sitting down with a gin and tonic now.

How’s the bidding prep going for that mult-story flooring contract ?

Tenders in, it’s only the first round. Project isn’t starting till ‘23. Although the builder wants it wrapped up (tender wise) by the end of the year.

That’s great. At least you’ve got your foot in the door, so to speak ! Ouch !!! apologies for that one :sunglasses:

Seriously, how’s the ankle, now that you’ve settled down a bit following your fall downstairs ? no further damage I hope.

Take care with that ankle Pete

No further damage just a bit of a shock and few painkillers, it’s not helped living in a spilt level house with 4 levels. I’ve been trying to get Mrs Pete to carry up/down the stairs but so far she refused.

I have all intention to although I’m probably on the highway to hell :grin:

I taught Patrick and Jos to fly. Probably about 10 years ago.

It must make things difficult - though Facebook is hardly the only way of getting access to news. Or even a particularly good one. It seems reasonable to me that they should pay the news media for their content - why should they make money off someone else’s work without some form of payment?
I use Flipboard, FWIW, which gives good access to news from the media, and it’s up to them to monetize their efforts.

Not on the stairs, I hope!

I have never seen anything likeable about Facebook. I really dislike it when businesses use Facetime instead of having a proper website (common with restaurants), making me have to use the hateful medium.
