Spot on Feijoa. I'm a bit old testament. An eye for an eye. Bugger turning the other cheek. I know the wee petals on this site don't like a bit of rough and tumble. But, if I ever saw Seymour on a pedestrian crossing I would find that deceleration is not ...
Good God Lprent. I thought personal abuse was verboten. We live and learn
Co-leaders. One to be a woman, one to be Maori.
I always thought he was a noble person. Easily distinguished among his peers. It leaves an opportunity for Chloe. But not sure I should wish it on her, given the piranhas in welly
Yes, it will be interesting to see if L,G,TPM, have formed an opposition coalition with a stragic plan.
Well, not until after he inherits. He's a silver spoon boy. Clearly evident by the whinging when someone disagrees with diddums
Waitangi is a long way for an old fart to drive. Does anybody know of a peaceful/silent protest happening closer to auckland to demonstrate our disgust at the governments treaty proposals
Interestingly I don't see any red neck knuckle draggers trying to defend the indefensible in these comments.
Link please
We hear of 1st world countries sneeringly refer to 3rd world countries as, corrupt, brutal despotic, banana republics. Bloody hell, they're amateurs compared to what's going on here
Can someone please assure me that this is an embarrassingly sick joke created by a wag with an evil sense of humour
Back in the day when most farm machinery was run on petrol you applied for a road tax exemption for fuel supplied by farm delivery, the exception rather than the rule. As for charging RUC. I can show you, in suburban east auckland, a van that is used most ...
Get real man. Which of we peasants can afford a $30k vehicle. No matter what it's fueled by
Then your going to need every vehicle to be fitted with a tracking device. Big ask with our fleet, and who pays, what about trailers and caravans. As I say ain't broke, don't fix
I would like to hear slimy browns rationale and end game. I've paid RUC for trucks, another pain in the arse chore. But I can't see another way for EVs or hybrids. Tax on petrol works fine. The further you travel the more you pay. The larger gas guzzler ...
Thanks for the link DF. That is a powerful piece of writing
Bin driving most afternoon. Only reliable radio was 'red neck radio' (zb) . All afternoon Golriz was debated, I cannot believe the nasty venal crucifixion. Think Jesus had an easier trip to the cross. Sure she seems to have messed up . But do we have to ...
I wholeheartedly agree Grey. I try to follow the thread of the conversation to be fair to the participants. But, especially with the gender alphabet soup stuff, after 20 or 30 he said she said comments in an alien vocabulary, that seems to not progress the...
I read all the posts of pejorative language yesterday and it occurs to me that we're being a bit precious. Is it not just the normal and endlessly fascinating evolution of the English language. I would think most of the participants will be well aware of ...
Agree, lotsa people don't seem to like something nice happening to someone else
I feel for you JillyBee. Doesn't matter how old ya kids are they're still ya kids Travel well
That's exactly what I mean, robo. Tech speak. You and lprent used a bunch of acronyms that is a foreign language. I'm not worried or offended but if you want to communicate with we peasantry you need to modify the vocabulary. Bit like me a mechanical ...
I'm not too bad at English, crosswords are my thing. I'm sort of OK at reo. But tech speak is a totally foreign language. So, given your expertise, I'll assume you know what your doing, and thankyou very much. These days we'd be lost without you guys.
Exemptions are the killer. So, don't have any. How about a revenue tax, just like wage and salary earners pay now. Thereby every dollar deposited is taxed with absolutely no exemptions by any entity, business, person or charity for costs. As a rough ...
Or, he goes to Waitangi, and wishes he hadn't.
Key says it was drive that got him to the 9th floor. Pure selfish ambition. If we assume that governance is for the betterment of ALL citizens. Then only one simple question has to be answered. Are we a better place for that governance ??
That is a wonderful idea. The article mentions the growing mistrust of authority and media so I wonder how it could in practice be implemented here. Given that we are such a corrupt back scratching society, nods and winks all round. And, that a former John...
These car tests leave so many considerations out. Particularly on the cost of ownership. Reliability, cost of parts, insurance, resale value. Resale value is particularly important for a small vehicle fleet operator. The economics of fleet operation other ...
Way I see it, nat and lab are just different faces of the same neolib coin. Doesn't matter which way you flip it, it's still the same coin. If lab don't depart from that philosophy and strike out to put people first, equality wise, then we'll all still ...
I note that cluxon has his ride to aus via the air force. I know he used to 'run an airline' but I'm pretty sure he couldn't tell a good aircraft from a poor one. But, he is now making noises bout updating planes. Is this a deliberate airforce ploy, and ...
Before we spend the defence budget we need to define the purpose of defense. If we think it is to stop a military attack from some superpower then we may as well 'lie back and think of england' it is an impossible task for a population the size of ...
