“ in reply to dv comment 1 "There has always been something inside us that wants to dominate other people, a kind of tribal society, . . . . ." As I read this I thought DS was talking about the right wing rich. But of course he is talking about those who ...
Perhaps the graffiti artist first tried to make the poster look like Mussolini . Trouble was nobody could spot the difference.
Big developments by the seashore such as Omokoroa cannot be very sustainable with the predicted rise in sea levels. Perhaps building 3 storey houses will enable dwellers to abandon the ground level and move upstairs. Then, no need for a bigger, better road...
Omaha Bay is very close to the Goat Island Marine Reserve. How close can the commercial boats go? Can they trawl right up to the boundary? I know the boats dislike cameras. Do they have to supply GPS data to show where they have been?
@ tsmithfield The other side of the coin is employers not bothering to notify job applicants about the results when they have gone to the interview. That is, unfortunately, a prevalent attitude towards applicants.
re: Ministerial diaries - " to be fair there was always a three month lag" Very convenient for MPs who after that length of time figure they can use the "I cannot recall" escape. I assume all corridors are monitored by CCTV for security purposes. For how ...
Gosman, In your first comment you take on the personal approach by explaining Seymour's behaviour. Your following paragraphs constantly challenge"you" for their behaviour. Is it the author MS, or is it being used in that old spin technique of trying to ...
"this governance triad" is the result of their governance a triasco?
In one fell swoop five plods have attained a better work story. I have not seen footage. Did a police-person of the female persuasion visit Golriz or was it just the boys?
Rail tunnels north of Auckland have had their base lowered to enable the taller containers. Two years ago I met a surveyor who had been working on the project.
Anne posted a link to an RNZ interview with Luxon on OM today. https://www.rnz.co.nz/audio/player?audio_id=2018912504 The voice starting at 31 seconds makes me think that Tom Sainsbury will have a wonderful 3 years entertaining us with his impressions of ...
@fender ANZ responded to my letter of complaint about Key and his position on the Board and his involvement in the National campaign: "Whilst we value our customers and appreciate their concerns, Sir John made the comments in his capacity as a private ...
I have written to ANZ asking if they think Key's message is appropriate for his position as chairman. Do they think it is suitable behaviour for ANZ staff? Would they prefer only National voters for customers? If so, will they advise me so that I can make ...
Apology for my confusion. Sepuloni is Deputy Prime Minister and a Labour MP, but Davis is Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
@tsmithfield Deputy leaders would be Willis vs Sepuloni. Carmel Sepuloni has been Labour Deputy since January in case you hadn't heard.
"Chris is part of that circle of wanna be media personalities..." Josie Pagani is another who claims to represent Labour but instead constantly puts them down.
"The clue is in the title, NORTH ATLANTIC Treaty organisation" I was surprised to see that Mongolia is listed as a global partner in NATO. It doesn't even border a country that borders a country that borders the Atlantic.
A lot of Northlanders will be delighted to hear the news. We will be hoping that the message will possibly spread to others.
@ Shanreagh Watchmaker training has changed. Many of them now just fit new batteries. The labour involved in a strip down of a clockwork mechanism has led to short cuts such as ultrasonic cleaning of the intact works. Many of the Swiss mechanical watch ...
The thing is, is that the Americans have to get rid of "off of" first.
