Hi Bertie. 
 

Hola @Mancunian, hope you’re having a fantastic day across the pond! 

Hola Spike, hi everyone. It's one of those days where it could be better, but I have had much worse. But if had access to a gun I'd put the building management team in front of a firing squad, lol

Aloha Man

The entry system for the apartments that I live in broke down when building management got it repaired we discovered that now resident's fobs to gain entry no longer work and we have been told that it will be at least a week before it is resolved. Our complaints are falling on deaf ears which is not good, we pay a high service charge to the building management company for a service which they are not providing. This is just latest fiasco that we have experienced. If we can get enough lease-holders to agree we will sack them and find a different building services management company.

Oh God Man I sure hope that works out☹️

Everything will work out, it will just take time. It is just so damned annoying.

So how do they expect you to get in, keep the door propped open?  Knock really loud and yell?

We have to use the intercom to ask a neighbour to let us in remotely. It is easy enough to do but very inconvenient and not what we pay for. As each lease-holder owns a part of the freehold we engage a property management company to maintain the security and entry systems and provide a cleaning and maintenance service for the communal areas. They have always been good, but about twelve months ago they were bought out by another company. Since then, the service has deteriorated and is no longer acceptable, which means the leaseholders must meet and agree to any action. That in itself is a time-consuming process.

Low 20C for the next few days  still chilly at night but at least it is reasonable during the day. I even had a garden salad with the roast chook for dinner so it must be warm  

I need to do some shopping for Father's Day - no fighting emus required  

[Bucket1]

I hope you all have a good day

Im off to bed 

Fingers crossed for Man - I have heard similar stories for apartments locally, the companies seem to be forgetting that they are there to provide a service

Deep pure pleasure is a double cheese and bacon burger and fries topped with cheddar and more bacon from burger King at 10pm after another long afternoon cleaning 👌

Oh, dear sweet Clo there are much better double cheese and bacon burgers than those from Burger King.

Oh I believe you but honestly opening the app to order and picking up my order was all the strength I could mustered at the time.

I've just had a very interesting phone call from the chairman of the leaseholders association in the building next to the one I live in. Apparently, he is meeting with two other chairmen of leaseholder associations that are near to us. They all use the same building management company as we do and are having similar problems. As chairman of our leaseholder association, I have been invited to their meeting next Tuesday, I have accepted as it could be very interesting, I'll let you know what happens.

Nope, we have one at the faire. He's very popular with the little kids.

Aloha Dughlas

[Albert1434]

Well I am glad that is over

[dughlas]

Albert, I hope your test went well.

Man, good luck with resolving the issues with your property management group. 

B, sweet dreams.

The rest o' y'all blessed be.  I'm gonna go lie down and hope to get rid of the migraine. Wish me luck. Apparently the folks in Ontario are sending us another round of changing weather. 

[Albert1434]

Good luck Dughlas!

So true! I'll take this one if you're offering.  For some reason, I've been grilling hots dogs lately on the BBQ. All beef ones with raw onion, shredded old cheddar, olives and thin sliced pickle on ancient grain bread (hate hot dog white rolls). Cook them till they are seared black.
