30 yrs ago I flew Aeroflot from Kuala Lumpur to London. Cost was $US250.00. Service was fine, with caviar and champagne (Russian) included. Also stopovers in Tashkent and Moscow were a bonus.

The farm down the road sells raw milk. http://www.villagemilk.co.nz/get-village-milk/village-milk-greymouth/ Beautiful! I have problems digesting pasturised milk, but no problems with raw. Also makes lovely yoghurt and fresh cheese. It's nice to buy local ...
Excellent documentary from Global Research 'Welcome to Nulandistan: Propaganda and the Crisis in the Ukraine' The US inflicting 'democracy 'n peace'...again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8KTiLsLJw&feature=share
Your average Joe Kiwi has no idea what this could lead to. In 1982, I was working for Topdeck Travel on their month long camping trips to the former USSR and Eastern Europe. I did four trips. It would take 6 hours to go through the USSR border as ...
In 1981 I was in London and had been away from NZ for 5 years. I was well aware of the tour, as were my NZ friends. I remember attending a protest at NZ House with lots of NZers (including Sam Neill)
Re workers wages being docked for stolen petrol. I wonder about Winz role in enabling this sort of employer abuse. If you are sent to a job thru Winz and are presented with a dodgy, or no, contract and you refuse the job, you are likely to be stood down ...
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=848171158547756 Excellent video from Steven Wilkinson about john Key.
Patrick Gowers obsessive vindictiveness against David Cunliffe is so irritating. How about reporting on the TPPA, issues raised in 'Dirty Politics' or Edward Snowden's revelations about mass spying on NZer's. Watching Glenn Greenwald highlighted how truly ...
This was reported in tonight's 'Grey Star', Slater re whether he should apologise to Jo Hall (Judd's mother) ''Why would I apologise to that slut?" John Key in his commiserating ph call to Slater said that Jo was ''the same feral fucking bitch that screams...
@ ffloyd; that's what I thought, but the parents are scared that publicity would make the situation worse and at present they are busy dealing with Winz. Apparently the benefit application process is horrific, eg they insist on being provided with the kids...
A relative of mine and her partner have 4 kids, the oldest being profoundly disabled and reliant on an electric wheelchair. They live in a Housing Corp house which is modified for wheelchair access. Recently HC decided to charge them market rent of $350 ...

Judd was a good friend of my daughter and a really nice person. He will be sorely missed here in Greymouth.
http://www.greystar.co.nz/content/blogger-puts-boot-0 Cameron Slater's latest piece of vindictive nastiness has Greymouth in an uproar. This family has lost four sons (including one killed at Pike River) and they don't need this shit. Judd's Mum is after ...

'Plus over the next few years the new wealth will “trickle down” to the poor, removing the need for any minimum wages'. You must be very young and naive Srylands. 30 years of 'jam tomorrow' and you still believe this neoliberal bullshit.
My year has been 'treading water, not quite sinking'. Health wise it's been bad, my rheumatoid arthritis has flared up and I'm still trying to find an effective medication to control it. I also lost my 6 hours per week job which means my income has dropped...

Remember that it was Labour that appointed Dr David Bratt, (welfare is akin to drug addiction) as Chief Medical Advisor to Winz. Also Labour brought in Regional Health Advisors whose main role appears to be shifting people from the Invalid to Sickness ...
I think a UBI would be far better then the present system. For me it means I would be able to work (relief teaching) when I am well and not have the stress of trying to work when I have a 'flare-up' (rheumatoid arthritis) At the moment when I earn over the...
Quotes from Slippery http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/john_key_2.html
I thought Key came across as a slimy bullshitter, and that ill-matched toupee added to the sleazy gangster look.
It'll be open slather down here on the West Coast. Expect McMansions along the Coast Road, particularly around Punakaiki
I reckon he was pissed. He'd be a nasty drunk too!
I find The Standard's articles and comments an invaluable and inspiring source of information. Also it's comforting to find NZer's who are not greedy, selfish, 'aspirational' dullards.
