"Rambling" about your unpleasant and sarcastic responses, which you are fond of doing if posters are not suitably submissive to your "wisdom".
Courtesy should apply to each of us and unwarranted sarcasm quite frankly is not attractive. There is not always much reason to come to this site but there are enough tolerant people still posting!
You have these superior skills of course. Perhaps we all have different abilities. The poll results were published in the Herald at 12.48pm.
Well Incognito, guess my skills don't match yours! An IPad is not a laptop.
No Belladonna, not Australia. Talbot Mills poll out today.
Let's hope Aldi comes to NZ! Big enough to make a major inroad into the supermarket shopping scene. A smaller player could struggle to get established. Latest poll has Labour ahead. Good to see. Had phone conversation yesterday with Healthline re being a ...
Considering the wretched, vile, abusive, threatening stuff the PM is subjected to, I can well understand her giving her frank opinion on what she thinks. Turning the other cheek always is just beyond possible. Sometimes the blunt truth needs to be spoken. ...
Well Alan, some Ministers could do better. But a government of any hue will always have some better performers and some not so able. Would you have given top marks to all of the last National regime? And if National should win next year their lineup lacks ...
True Anne. I have felt for some time the attacks on the PM stem from jealousy and they would rather she was bland with little personality (Luxon-like), in other words.
See Josie Pagani is has been sucking on lemons and is sniping from the sidelines at the speech, according to Newshub. Pagani wants to be the tallest poppy herself it would seem.
Needs no comment other than "that was so very impressive Prime Minister".
Good news about the meeting. Some slightly snide comments have been made insinuating the PM may not rate getting a meeting, so hope those commenters now change their tune.
The unexpected tragic events that Jacinda Arden has had to deal with since becoming PM once again have her excellent diplomatic abilities and communication skills called on.
Wow! How good it is to read something positive and optimistic. Kiwis seem to expect absolutely everything to be exactly as they want and if they don't get exactly what they want, oh boy, do they whinge and moan. How would they like to live in Ukraine these...
As usual, the complainers are out in force. Do people these days ever appreciate anything? One of the ridiculous headlines post budget was that the $27 per week would not pay for a Uber delivery! Do some not know how to make a toasted sandwich, open a can ...
Good to hear Kelvin Davis not sitting back politely any more and turning the other cheek. About time those facts were more widely known.
How unpleasant, aggressive and intolerant some people are, who choose to attack and name-call rather than discuss an issue. How fortunate those of us are who don't have those people to deal with in their daily lives.
Incognito this discussion really has become petty and childish and while I have a different viewpoint to yourself and Lprent, I have not been rude in my responses as you have both been. "Intolerant, delusional denialist" - perhaps it takes one to know one!...
If, as you maintain, 70 per cent of Hutt citizens are keen to cycle, I am perplexed as to where they are, and why they are not seen. Just where are the thousands of these cyclists that you believe are itching to hop on their bikes. When I see them out on ...
Well Lprent, lots of excuses from you there. I am surprised. However, you have your reasons for your decisions and I have mine, but I do not call you stupid. I simply am of the belief that cycling is not possible or desirable for many people and that does ...
Lprent - you bandy around the word "stupid". Not surprised at your response - plenty of history there. Now surely being such a cycling devotee you could manage to cart home your supermarket shopping on your bike - come on, give it a go!
Well Incognito - seems to me you yourself are exactly what you accuse me of - someone who speaks for yourself only. Someone who has very limited regard for other points of view. By all means those who can comfortably ride a bike as they go about their day ...
Incognito, myself and likely many others will not be reading pages and pages of local body plans because of the complexity of the wording which is far beyond the comprehension of most, I suspect. You say I have "lazy reckons and beliefs"! I know what I see...
The problem with all the promoters of cycling is they overlook that the majority of people do not ride bicycles for all sorts of reasons. But the promoters assume they can get a majority of people to ride bikes. Older people are not going to ride a bicycle...
Finding it very curious that there have been numerous debates here on who is, should or can be a "woman". Over the last few days there has been much publicity about the nasty attack on Nadia Lim in the NBR by the Henry person. Pleasing to see all the ...
Not surprisingly, Luxon/Seymour/Fed Farmers/groundswell are very muted at praising the scientists/government's success with M.Bovis elimination. Given the multi millions spent to do this, does that come into Luxon's complaint about spend, spend, spend.
The health system has been struggling for many years. If people are uncertain about future changes, who remembers Ruth Richardson putting paying machines in wards in order to get admitted? That nutty idea didn't last long.Who remembers Jenny Shipley ...
Labour (& Jacinda as PM) have had sudden overwhelming challenges to deal with in the last few years. Given his inarticulateness I can't imagine how Luxon would have coped in those circumstances. He is only ok when following his minders' scripts. Off the ...
Posted comment earlier on Open Mike but probably more relevant here - find time to read Dave Armstrong's hilariously funny send up of Luxon and his "crew" in the Dominion Post today. Brilliant.
Luxon's personality comes over as very cold. He seems self-satisfied and unconcerned about making life tougher for those who are not on high incomes, while believing he is entitled to an $18,000 tax cut. Not admirable traits.
Hilariously funny Dave Armstrong column in today's Dominion Post. Total send up of Luxon and his "crew".
