So what did you use before these all important utes came on the scene? How often did you need to replace your vehicles, really? Was it as soon as you had depreciated them on the books so you could then sell on a perfectly good one in order to get the ...
The ACT party's leader has released a further policy on Covid today, and it's all about cost/benefit analysis of the current government health policy. I have heard people talk of this and the extension of it has been that the world needs a pandemic, there ...
Adrian, where did you get your information from? What do most agriculturists and tradies need their utes for? Not mountainous four wheel terrain work. They have tractors for that. On the other hand you could pop down to many rural golf courses this ...
4 weeks out of school? Would you mind advising when that school year started? Presumably that teacher has yet to be in front of a class.
And this, because I'm free ... I can do what I want. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/sir-russell-coutts-multi-million-dollar-beach-pad-upsets-neighbours-it-looks-like-a-hospital-or-boarding-house/5SLDC23NIPVH576J7OABJJGAWQ/

So, if you gain a knighthood that makes you a highly respected person. Apparently one such person is about to join the anti-mandate protest next week (hedging his bets there hoping that it might not be necessary for him to attend). And apparently he wants ...
How can you possible draw from my comment that I endorse Mallard's buffoonish behaviour - where he is giving the protest oxygen. He is a fool. However, it is equally a bit strong for you to suggest that everyone at that demonstration is honourable and ...
Rosemary, did you actually read the comment? I do not see the relevance of your comment.
Observer, excuse my ignorance but can you tell me the understanding of both parties to the state of the ownership of the Foreshore and Seabed. I do remember Peter Dunne and Nick Smith knee deep in water in Nelson somewhere demanding that the crown do not ...
... and the small crowd being entertained by the "bike-burn-out" producing toxic fumes for them to inhale (one of them with cigarette in hand). I wonder if she was there protesting "they ain't gonna put no dangerous poisons into my body, No Way!"
Until recently the media used to consult with the Westpac pundit for comments on the state of the economy and his predictions. Recently it has been the ANZ who have been commenting and spreading negativity and gloom. Now doesn’t a knight of the realm and ...
... like the huge amount of respect that the Groundswell brigade have shown in their public statements in their links to the anti-vac movement. With the tourism department targeting high-roller visitors, the horticulturists could be waiting a while for ...
TV1 News tonight - lack of visas for essential harvesting tractor drivers. The husband and wife Groundswell-moaning-agriculturists stood in the vast acres of wheat and beside two or three massive tractors bemoaning the fact that they cannot get these ...
And on tithing. After every 10th parishioner passes through a megachurch door, that's one salary notched up. So 10 low-waged worshippers, gives a pastor a minimum wage. 20 and that's the misses taken care of, 30 and that's the verger taken care of. 300 and...
Nice to see a different thread on this site. So while we are at it, when can we return to a commentary team of articulate knowledgeable pundits rather than the qualification of "I've played test cricket so I'm an expert." Commentary used to be given by ...
Ah, bliss at last. I had occasion to call the Apple-online assistance today. And the automated system gave me some options. What type of music I should prefer in the possible/likely event, that I might be on hold. I could choose Contemporary, Classic, Jazz...
The difference in roles in an airline. I see the (ex) CEO is calling for Auckland's regime to be reduced to "green lights" forthwith. Of course that's why he was a CEO and not the Pilot. The pilot warns that there is a storm ahead and may have to depart ...
Apparently there are many Aucklanders who are actually getting about, managing to get to west coast beaches for healthy walks and coping well in the circumstances. Actually getting on with life. It would be interesting to know how many of these "failing" ...
Anyone else getting tired of the emeritus professor Gorman's media contributions to the nation's knowledge on Covid. Here is this weekend's medical expert comment from the ODT. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/prof-warns-civil-disobedience-auckland "...
Just wonder what Ken Ring might advise (though there is a full moon about)!!!
Why hasn't he suggested that the South Island (Christchurch/Queenstown) be opened up for the thousands of overseas citizens to return home to. Do their mandatory 14 days down there and then allow them to go to all points north, including back into ...
Just to correct you there for future reference. Hadlee went as a raw talent to Nottinghamshire cricket owning a long run-up. He had to play (John Player) Sunday league in his first year with a maximum of 20 pace run-ups. As a result of modifying his ...
Supercity, or the original councils - just which would be appropriate in this instance? How could you possibly control movement around the super city as it now is or under the old councils. Seymour's idea is just fantasy... how on earth would you determine...
Waste Water testing for traces of Covid. I wonder what percentage of non-urbanised communities have their own septic tanks rather than being connected to a mains sewer system. Just a thought.
Gosh - the topic has exercised the mind such that a grammatical discussion has ensued for the best part of two hours. That said, no-one on here would accept Seymour's actions were anything but dogwhistle.
I think I need my 3 litre diesel Prado to tow my trailer sailor. It's a '99 model. I should love to convert to an electrical motor, and do my bit for climate change, but I fear that such a powerful replacement vehicle (complete) is going to be way out of ...
Electric Vehicles. In time there are going to be a lot of serviceable motor bodies in very good condition, but little to no hydrocarbon fuels to power them. Are there any plans for the major manufacturers to make electrical engines to replace the internal ...
It appears to be one of those "World famous in New Zealand" nomenclatures. Remember the mystery and then release of the name for the NZ cricket team... wait for it... drum roll "The Black Caps!" And that was followed by a plethora of national team names (...
What can we do ...? At our local country supermarket this afternoon, as we were about to scan in, a middle aged couple rushed through. The young doorman politely requested, "Excuse me, please sign in." The response was, "HAVEN'T GOT TIME, we're in a hurry...
Pat - yes RUC, but the diesel that fills the tanks of the farm ute is not from the local bowser. It is delivered in bulk to the farm for the tractors and some of it finds its way into the ute's tanks.
