Yep, the flatmate we've actively avoided for 14 months is about to be sitting across the coffee table with a buried to the first knuckle finger up his nose.
Fortunately Aventadors and the Maldives have absolutely nothing to do with the recipe for a genuine contented life. Money plays a minor role. Having enough is enough and doing more with less is satisfying.
Do you think I'm a gullible idiot for thinking that red's thumbnail sketch of what's happened in the last 200 years is pretty much on the money? I'm sure I'm not alone, are we all sucked into believing the lies? Seems to me Joe Average 2020 is doing way ...
F1 is on ice. Someone mouthier than me should front Red Bull and say "Hey you know the 17 million you saved because the Melbourne GP was called off, wanna do some good with that money? Lob 1000 kayaks into coastal schools.
I'm going to miss expecting more from the Warriors, anticipating the Blues results and swearing at the Crusaders.
When things get tough you discover who your true friends are. I'm hoping we discover we are all there for each other.
Have you considered being part of the solution?
I'm pleased we aren't in charge of proceedings.
Just put new rubber on the mobility scooter, Satire Radials. Cervecería Modelo are not going to call their new brew Blonde or Pilsener, it'll be Corona Viris. As brand awareness goes, to date, Cervecería Modelo have received 4 trillion dollars worth of ...
We are approaching an election that is flavoured with many to and fro forces. If I vote Green am I turning NZ into an Amsterdam cafe? If I vote Winston, will I be one of 4% and wasting my vote? We've got lots of forces playing on our decision this next ...
I think Paula is right. Now is a good time for us to have an opposition that is on the "OK, why did you do that and not this?" ticket. But that's not what happened, Simon stood up and said "What you're doing is shite."
Yes, bashing beneficiaries as the best part of the nation are contemplating the possibility of becoming beneficiaries is not just bad taste, it's political Hari Kari....reminds me of that quote re: Teresa May "She fell on her own sword and missed." Simon's...
Ahh I get it, people who find themselves unemployed in coming weeks will be able to find temp work picking kiwifruit, Yep, cool.
Pull through headline on TV3 breakfast show this morning. KIWIFRUIT FARMERS MAY EMPLOY UNEMPLOYED LOCALS AS TOURIST NUMBERS DWINDLE I'm a bit confused as to how I feel about that "Gee, that's no good?" or "Won't that stimulate spending in that community?" ...
This has the potential to cut deeper than the GFC. It was over a thing, money. This is over people. We were broke at the end of the GFC, this time we're going to funerals.
"If you need a feed or a bed or a shoulder, I need to hear from you." They're the sort of words that keep us all strong in times like this. Sounded to me like Simon was saying "If you need anything, don't call me."
I'm not sure how old you are Red, or where your taste lies but if a hologram of Jim Morrison was going to do a few numbers and have a word to us about common denominators that's a class I'd make and the chances are good I'd retain much of what Jim had to ...
I think your brother is dabbling with the future Red. Bruno Mars pointing out the differences between Nouns and Verbs.
I think money collectors the world over would be intrigued by a limited run official NZ Govt $17 dollar note. A device to embrace the memory of one of our most favorite square pegs in a round hole. We need to find some creative ways of keeping the overseas...
If I said the things I say in here in some counties I could be looking at the inside of a cell before sunrise. Many of us could be. Traitor! Your case will be heard in 2023. I miss John Clarke, I think we should produce a $17 dollar note in his honour. I ...
I can't keep a brief articulate slagging up on the Kyber Pass overpass past 2pm. I'm kidding, Jail wouldn't suit me. Like most of us, I grafitti here.
I guess the *grafitti squad would show up and paint over any poignant message. Then, if a bloody jolly scoundrel returned and sprayed. "Uh-oh, we'll need to squeeze in 2 families." Provided a history is retained, that's when shit gets viral. *Do you think ...
11 neighbours, wow, I don't miss that. I have a neighbour on either side, neither of them can hear me whistling the dog. Are any of the boarded up places facing the street? Words are mightier than the sword. Some jolly scoundrel could spray-paint. "A ...
I think it's a given that we'll see rental houses available numbers rise in areas with Winter pull. Queenstown is notorious for being reasonable rental place scarce. Airbnb action there for this Winter will be slim and losing weight fast.
A few people, not many, see more income from an additional property via Airbnb etc than they would if they had a long-term tenant in place. Most Airbnb hosts are out to assist with the non mortgage overheads. Airbnb are offering those that have booked and ...
Cool, thanks, news for me. All people approaching Con19 should be wearing that or similar kit but I don't think that's the case.
Stiff measures align well with our message for the adventurous wanderlust world. Make the front page of the world press by rolling down the shutters at Auckland International Airport for a month. Pay 'Duty Free Madness' the overhead/profit they claimed for...
Yes yes, but isn't protecting front-line medicos fundamental? I'm suggesting we're making a globally useless job of it.
I think there is much to be said for putting the 'CLOSED' sign in the window for 3-4 weeks. The bitter reality is that most of us can't afford to say that and vote for the 'OPEN' side of the sign. As trade slowly slides, from the dairy on the corner to the...
We have the technology to be better prepared for these threats and it won't take aircraft-carrier money. It's pretty basic technology isn't it? It's 2 hour tutorial before you don the suit and begin dismantling the asbestos laden building technology.
Decades ago, the Aussie health and safety squad insisted I provide a positive filtered air suit for the guy that was spraying the poison laden 2-pack paint at my clients' cars. Why aren't we doing that? Disposable impervious suit, head gear with a pipe ...
