Do not count your chickens before they hatch. Else where on a blog beginning with K the big issue seems to be that Boris has had a busy six months according to the Guardian.
Now is the time to have a hard look at the benefits and the down sides and how we will manage the future. Do we still want so called freedom campers shitting everywhere, Tourist drivers, airbnb and its impacts to name a few. Do we restrict numbers. We did ...
The comment I have had from Australia is at least you know what the rules are, also do not forget each state has different rules and movement between states is , can be difficult.I would hate to think what sort of mess we would be in if National was in ...
My apologies, old age and to much glue fumes
I accept that most of the projects are spade? ready but it would be nice to see some forward planning for the replacement of the Rakaia and Rangitata bridges. We have recently seen what happens when there are problems with these bridges as there is only ...
It is interesting reading your thoughts but and I do not mean to be rude but Do you really know what the voter wants not what you think the voter wants and to do that you need to talk to the voter maybe face to face. My work place's age distribution has ...
The South Island electorates do need looking at as the rivers cause a natural boundary and generally there are only two crossing points which makes the time spent travelling for MP's extremely long. One benefit from all this travelling they do see the ...
How about this, no comment about the state of Hospital Buildings. https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/102660306/national-portrait-jonathan-coleman--doctor-health-minister-quiet-achiever What about the firms that built these?
If you feel upset enough you can send a letter to the editor of the Washington Post. letters@washpost.com
I am just a simple plumber and to comment about that ...
The other issue is Ecans approach to Backflow prevention of bores. At one stage they were letting the use of a non testable device known as a Chemcheck valve which Irrigation NZ was promoting (they are cheaper). We do a lot of testing of on farm bores for ...
The Canterbury Rural what regions did that cover. I always thought that there is quite a few who are not happy with the state of the water as we are the ones who notice the change. A lot go fishing and boating in the rivers and lakes. I do a lot of work ...
... is a builder,plumber,electrician,joiner and a plumber. Do not where...
It would be interesting to see a similar poll on what the provinces think about Tourists ie freedom campers,drivers. I have already had the pleasure of meeting a long haul traveller head on,it was an interesting experience. Water. I personally think this ...
Had a bit of a think. The 90 day clause, I know of more than one person hit by that and in fact there are employers that make a habit of using that clause especially to the young ones trying to get their first job and if you live in a provincial town it is...
My Mother would haunt me. Really a right to a good standard of living, to be able to own your home at some stage and a right to be payed a good wage. My mothers family were West Coasters and did knock around with labour people before WW2 so it is most ...
Has Poto Williams had a talk with Wille before posting her views and if not how does she know if his attitude has changed. If not the last two paragraphs seem to contradict. I tend to agree with Chris Trotter and sometimes wonder if our MP's/activists want...
English Grammar The NZ Herald must be finding it hard to find reporters that have any idea of writing an article and obviously do not proof read. Refer Split in Trump's Team. I always thought that a person's name was in capital letters and also the name of...
In addition to my initial comments on Backflow Prevention, from the Picture's of the Council Bore heads there does not seem to be any Back Flow Device. The other possible source of contamination could be a decommissioned bore that the Regional Council know...
It would be unusual for a town's bore to be contaminated but there is the possibility of contamination from a connection to the town's water which is not protected by a Backflow Preventor. There was the case of Darfield's water being contaminated but I do ...
There are some interesting comments by Andrew Geddis on Pundit about this.
Please Please refer to us as TRADESMEN not that bloody Aussie term Tradies. I worked hard for 5yrs as an apprentice to become a tradesman. Yes my knees are sore, My back aches and I am a deaf (my wife would disagree with the little) and am a little bit ...
You all talk about the centre. Who is pepared to define the centre for a thick old tradesman or is that not possible.
So Is Grant saying That when I rang my national MP and told her what I thought of the H&S reforms my name is now on file. If so is this a breach of my privacy.
How is the injury rate arrived at, is this worked out from ACC claims. I did have a discussion with my MP (national) yesterday and the fear of unions was raised which at the time seemed a bit odd, then reading the Herald's site this afternoon daylight ...
How do those idiots work out that farming is not dangerous. I have worked on dairy farms as a employee (had a rush of blood to the head) and as a plumber and drainlayer. But construction is more dangerous than a farm. Bullshit.
I agree with the Labour party's position on a Health and safety Representative for a business less than 10 as at that size it is a work force that does not like someone other than the employer telling them what to do. From my point of view any incidents ...
It's a Capital Gains Tax but not as we know it.
If someone played with my daughters ponytail he would be called a pervert and just find himself answering to the police I would hope. BUT because he is the PM I would be wasting my time. The whole episode is abuse of power, would I be brave enough to take ...
I think Ms Collins has moved from a 20T digger to a 40T and even that might not be reaching the bottom of the Hole. If you rubbish someone on camera at least give an apology on camera.
Ecan have recently (last 2/3 yrs) made the installation of water meters compulsory cannot remember by when because nobody knew for certain if you had used your allocation, Horse and Barn door spring to mind. Didn't a council around Wellington run into ...
