Not very careful planning...

This house is in Baldwin Street, in Dunedin, New Zealand. Crazy, eh? Who would build such a strange house?



The first photo was taken as if the road didn't slope at all. Here's how steep the road really is:


Baldwin Street is considered the steepest road in the world and also one of the most peculiar, thanks to the oblivious designers in London!

Storms, the internet and customer services in France

I've been offline because my modem went poof in the storms. That's what the provider said, after performing loads of tests remotely. They're going to send us a new box. The thing is, the box is now working perfectly. The problem was with their own network and they have now fixed it, but their helpline staff is totally oblivious about what goes on...

Et vive la France!
