Seems to me those of us most upset about the class seesaw are those from the Yang side of the tracks that knuckled down and got degrees, now sit under fluros. Others laid drives. 1000's of them. There is nothing a drive-layer likes more than rolling up to ...
What is your ideal outcome Treetop? What are you trying to achieve? To prove that the house is not compliant? That your landlord is in breach of the law? Tilting at windmills. A 100% win leaves you in the same situation. Carp Dime
Hi Arkie, Thanks, yes, insulation standards, climatic zones were considered. I stand corrected. Waterproof underfloor membranes, it appears to apply nation-wide. I wonder when inspectors are due to hit Northland? Electricians have installed so many heat-...
I think you need to find a new landlord Treetop. Just start applying for places that appeal. You have an attractive story to tell. "I'm a quiet, private, house-proud individual that finds themselves living in a flat in a partioned house and 4 noisy people ...
I'm up in the sub-tropical Far North. Right now, I'm wearing board shorts and a T-shirt, I'll put a hoodie and slippers on in a few hours. I'm yet to turn a heater or heat-pump on this year. May not. I think our recently implemented healthy homes ...
For those that feel the pull I think we could go a long way towards fixing unsavoury Maori social statistics by creating a path home. De-urbanisation. Everyone has great scenery. We are unique because of Maori. Covid will pass. While it lingers, we have an...
Rental prices NZ wide will continue to rise because of the clash between the diminishing sense in stretching to purchase an investment house, a home for someone else and our Well-to-dos home from London, New York and Paris. They're thinking hard about ...
Auckland: the sow with multiplying nipples for gorging piglets. Before selling the port I think we should be sitting lots of people down and asking them... "Do you think the value you bring to Aucklanders would attract a $200k salary in the private sector...
For the US to have the same 'Explosion of cases' as NZ, 2 days ago they would of needed 1452 new cases, they reported 50,000. They have 4% of the world's population and 25% of the active Covid-19 cases. I think they've screwed up because the United States ...
This left/right thing. It's time we started utilising the energy it creates in our favour. We need to find a new reason to dislike 50% of the population. Lets do it with surnames A=M versus N-Z. (see what I did there...already a bias!) A-N versus O-Z...oh ...
Do you want Wayne to stop posting here? I don't. Somebody with a contrary view to yours is not your enemy, they are a reason to engage. But you're not, you're just doing an average job of slagging the guy. Thanks for being here Wayne, I like to put what ...
Yes, it is having children of our own that should create a natural pathway to respecting the children of others. Treat my child well, I will do the same by yours.
Don't all political parties, nations and those deemed influential take CCP backhanders in one form or another? It's the way of the modern western world. Deceive, infiltrate, dominate, it is the CCP way....Sorry Hong Kong. I don't think we should be ...
I think the WHO investigation into the origins of the virus will at best be a barometer displaying the alignment of Dr Tedros. Although beyond redemption, I think Trump is right to take a step away from the UN. It's become a pit of snakes, past it's best ...
I'm concerned it's a replay of last time without the media maelstrom. Of course we need to raise the lot of those that struggle but Kiwis didn't warm to moving up to the min wage last election. I think the string to this bow is best pulled back when ...
Wasn't it amusing to watch the politicians in the weekend Current Affairs shows ever so backhandedly drop any Covid shortfall call-outs over into Ashley's lap. I was surprised that they could be so tone deaf. When you say Ashley did it, it's the same as ...
We need to wake up to ourselves, The person in charge of who passes over our borders is incapable of regulating the calories that pass over their palette. Thankfully she is also looking after Trainsmash. (Kiwibuild) Geez it must be tough to be Jacinda. She...
I think it's all to do with how it's pitched. Are we seduced into joining this huge team or does the draconian plea for compliance meet push back? So far, I don't regret joining the team.
We're on a different footing here in NZ. Black Americans live with a history of being taken somewhere against their will. Maori live with their somewhere being taken against their will. I think solutions look similar, we need an accessible pathway for ...
I'm sliding so far off topic, sorry, last post. Interactive advertising could save Free to Air TV as we know it. eg: I see a McDonalds ad, I click, my Uber Eats account opens up. A few clicks and that burger and fries is on it's way to me. Bunnings ad for ...
Sell TV One while it's still at the worth a few bob altitude in it's death spiral and buy out Air NZ shareholders. Remember when the Yellow Pages were worth half a billion in NZ? TV One...tick tick tick....
AirNZ is probably a good buy. Protection Warren Buffet could only dream of. In the good times, milk the growth, in bad times, just hold, the govt will come running in with a billion.
When times are good they're a cash cow but so many bad moons rising. The fall of the World Trade Centre brought them to their knees, now a pandemic. Those threats aside, they live or die on fuel prices. The world's most successful Wall St player got stung ...
Ashley would say "This is the first time I find myself disagreeing with Prime Minister. I'd like to call a timeout for this press meeting, lets regroup in 30 minutes. I'll need a private room, whiteboard, pens in 3 colours and an overhead projection of the...
So if Jacinda told you to jump off the bridge would you? Ummm, we'd need to hear more. Is Ashley available?
Outlaw Maui drivers with a foreign license. Charge them 3k more and insist they enlist a driver/legend sharer/stays in a motel guide....they'll warm to it and have the holiday memory they will take to their grave. Train these guides, create a career path ...
Fortunately perception is everything. The world buys our 100% Pure message. Our Covid status is a handy contribution. Price our God's Disneyland accordingly. Yeah Paris is expensive, we should be too. Get rid of the loose bowel teens in unregistered 80's ...
Usually at this time of the year we can't fill an Airbnb or Copthorne bed for love or money up in the Far North. Just now, bookings are going off. Like housing, there are so many indirect influences. When a visitor has their head on a pillow, 100's get ...
We could adopt the National Party method for determining if an incoming visitor has Covid-19. How much money have you got? It's easy to forget how nice it is to have moved on from that mindset. I love you and the people that love you.
Are you talking about Jacinda? When you get to know someone you begin to overlook the way they look and engage with the person they are. NZ warm to her because of what is in her heart. Are you good looking George?
A border test that determines if a guest shows evidence of 19 infection, has had it and doesn't pose a threat or a potential guest with a rising temperature. That is the Pharma challenge. It is the lowest hurdle to clear.
