Well good on ya M the L. You've told us school lunches aren't working and stated that L don't understand the real need. Fair enough. Now, how about expanding your diatribe and explain what, in your opinion, should be done or really needed.
Gees! I think I'll go to bed and put my head under the pillow.
The problem as I see it is that the people now making dumb stuff, dumb decisions, dumb managerial calls and dumb governance. Come from the generation who went to uni. I don't think you've nailed the problem.
I've heard of flagellation, but this seems to be an extreme example.
I note, once again, that plod have cow towed to the bikkie gangs and permitted unfettered law breaking and unannounced road closures so bikkies can command a presence at a funeral in opotiki and onto whakatane. It is my understanding that 100 extra plod ...
1600 hrs news on nat radio. Quoting Chippie at at the waikato field days. " I've not come across anybody who is negative, inward looking, wet or down trodden. But then I haven't seen Christopher Luxon either. Classic.
Can we please factor in the GST costs when talking about how much disposable income us peasants have
Yes, this generation of parents aren't conditioned to union activities as per the 50s, 60s, 70s.
Bloody absolutely BW. This Woods debacle puzzles me. He is highly rated as an effective minister for labour. But, I cannot recall any evidence of this. He always seemed to be on the wrong side of the sheets, indeed I hear stories of his arrogance which is ...
Spot on Inco. My son bought a house in 2017 lived in it for 4 years, till his marriage dissolved, sold for $400k more than he paid. That's $100,000 per year of tax free income
Whole damn thing seems to be a storm in a teacup, over a few pissant shares. Does this mean that anybody living, owning, renting a house cannot have anything to do with a housing portfolio. Or, someone owning a car influencing a transport portfolio. The ...
Prior to this w,end plod announced a cracking down on dirt zbike riders breaking the law. Yippee. Then we read that 50 dirt bike riders were seen, by plod, riding with gay abandon, 5 were arrested. Bloody hell it would be interesting to see a cost ...
Ad, you're talking rubbish, again. You're not Prebbles son in law, are you? The financial comparables are always screwed to the narrative the author wants to portray. Throughout the neoliberal era. Rail Financials always seem to include the real-estate ...
We are having a holiday for Charlie's birthday. Even though it doesn't occur till November. Personally I'd like to trade 3 Charlie's birthdays for one 3 yearly public holiday for election day. It would always need to be on a Wednesday so it doesn't become ...
Well AD,at 1212. Have you a reference to support that statement
We kind of forget that it is still around, but in a rest home that I know of are currently having an outbreak with 10 in the rest home wing and 4 in the hospital wing out of about 120 residents. That's real serious stuff for old folks and I feel for them, ...
I note a drive to have bilingual road signs. Not a problem for me. But then the torys are saying it will confuse motorists. I assume that their information comes from their supporters. If that is the case. Can I say that if that confuses Tory voters then ...
Good God, have they brought Steven Joyce back into the fold
Couldn't agree more UK but it would be even easier if the authorities grew a spine, saved $140mil and said. "From now on we are going to restrict the import of coal until in 3 years it will reduce to zero. Sort your own shit out. That will achieve the same...
Interesting question Adrian. As a chief engineer in a large manufacturing plant one of the griefs was book learnt engineers from head office with new beaut theories. Sure, some of them were educatable but some of them were a lost cause. Interestingly my ...
Aah, so infinite growth in a finite world. How would the end game look ??
That's a fair enough critique of our current situation. Can I look forward to your next post detailing a plan for the future
Beautiful analogy. I can smell the aroma from here
You do realise that economists are put on this earth to make metrologists look good
Here is a feel good story for a sunday evening. I've just spent most of the day on my laptop and phone in contact with my business accountant, sorting year end stuff. No he's not charging extra. Reason. He is taking his 12 staff and partners, minus ...
Point taken Graeme. So what I understand your saying is that you maintain that this sale is more successful than the greatest NZ salesman of all time who sold the "Yellow Pages" just before Google arrived.
Rumor has it. That the commerce commission has ok'd the amalgamation of cell phone towers into two independent identities!!! Shades of our supermarket, timber suppliers electricity etc duopolys. When will we get a govt that is willing to put a red hot ...
Yep, your plan B works for me
Today I got an email from Hobsons Choice (Brashs brain child) signed by someone called Cassie. I haven't opened it but the heading was. " Did you see us in the Herald". Well no. Who buys and indeed reads the Herald ? My mother who died last last year aged ...
If the govt is going to get cheap money for councils to fix their own waters, then some serious controls would need to be put in place so as it's not siphoned off for, vanity projects, new mayoral chains and cycleways. Perhaps setting up a separate entity ...
No joke. The moderators and you in particular seem to want to evolve this site into some sort of university type treatise for each entry with references to Africa. I read this site for elucidation and entertainment. However when I arrive at a post that ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation].
