Big and wider vehicles take up more of the road, park out from kerbs carelessly reducing width for others, block out visibility to an ordinary car or cyclist. I think there was an extra road tax or registration on larger vehicles like this at one time ...
Why all the one liners Jenny HTGT? Radio presents text like that possibly because the ahnnouncers have been reading from it and it makes for clarity for them. Here it ends up looking like a shattered paragraph that needs sweeping up. It would make your ...
What's that all about Pete. You are welcome to have a little rant about the topic. I still think that understanding the system that we live in, and the culture also, at school, will be beneficial for all. If parents don't know or ever talk about it, then ...
Have you been watching the Olympics? I see that Radionz has an image of fencers with an item. The fencing word that comes to mind is foil but I don't think that's right. Faint is how I feel, but Boris doesn't go in for feinting, he's more schoolboy ...
Yes I pointed out that there are people such as you describe. But many are going for family reasons, that is my point. And some may be going to see if they can get a job over there - scoping the place. Some people get on okay, I think it is unwise but you ...
I think we need more of that i-g transfers in NZ, the retired and elderly have to embrace the younger population along with enjoying not being wage slaves. At present some are burdened with responsibility, and some swan around fulfilling the dreams of ...
There are over 600,000 Kiwis living in Oz in various states of citizenship. So not just wealthy NZs as suggested, but sure there are some - from my own family perhaps. I can't say anything to them. They have been brought up with the nationwide idea that if...
mac1 Your comments are very interesting. Thinking about Romans I found in a book I have about Caesar, a quote from Caradoc the son of leader Cunobel, when betrayed by the northern Brigantes and taken in chains to Rome. 'It is reported that when...he looked...

edit There are rather loaded words in this from Advantage. The content is what Hosking might say in one of his quieter moments. So there is no inevitable reward to New Zealand’s very left government and all its purity-contest lockdowns and heroic messaging...
Make it endangered and everyone will rush to see it before it vanishes - very good for tourism, and then they can break off bits of bleached coral for souveniers. (Santa I would like spellcheck and pop-up correction like I get on google email)! I know C ...
Yes Sabine that 20,000 figure makes me shiver. We have done so well, and I fear are wallowing in self-gratification and enabling people who want to make a personal stand because they are too special to be attacked by a virus or a needle. I'm getting ...
On Kim Hill this morning. About the debate for younger voting age 16 and up. Some points I noted - That voters choose from their beliefs and what will be best for them, countered by comment that isn't it supposed to be for what is best for the country. And...
I remember reading that certain tribes? in Britain asked if the Romans would come back, their organisation was good, and their infrastructure and they largely left the people to live within their own culture. But the Romans had trouble at home.
We pulled out the stops to help but...
She sounds as worrying as are the English fundamentalist Muslim preachers to them.
I'm on gmail and find it useful sometimes to draft using the Compose window which has a useful set of gadgets to manage the text. Then I just copy it and paste it in TS. And my Compose window is set for frequent saves so it's virtually idiot proof.
Brigid I'm on Firefox but probably behind with updates. Do you notice that the spellchecker frequently underlines an s and seems to want me to put z. I think my English speller has a US bias or something. It is quite 'aggressive' about this.
bw How will we tell what the signs are?
On life in NZ for Pasifika just when we thought we were civilised. And we can get uncivilised very quickly it seems so watch out ordinary citizens of whatever colour; first we are denied decent wages, then decent homes, then are we to be portrayed as rats?...
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/447532/gloriavale-allegations-labour-inspectorate-has-no-jurisdiction-to-investigate This is an important point. Can people emotionally coerce others to slave for them, take them back to colonial days? They are dressed ...
edit McFlock Tech would like us to be alike while they praise our individuality. Hollywood shows how we can be encouraged to be alike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG7x8HWbDzU And Foreign Waka I noted that too, I thought we were okay to be grouped in ...
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/447445/how-ordinary-kiwi-cyclists-started-being-seen-as-elitist I notice that many males ride on bikes in a way similar to how they would drive. Then there are ones in the twilight and dark all dressed in black, no ...
I seem to remember that Niven applied it externally, dunkin' donut style.
Ah. Thanks for that factual piece of info with links Robbie Wgtn. Also on sensitive topics - women's prison study. https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/re_covering/story/2018804704/03-guyon-espiner-auckland-women-s-prison

Well just say so, Most of your reply was circumlocution. Is that spelt right? And amazingly I dd fnd mslf ndstndg.
Where do such doctors do their training in the USA? They need to get certification somewhere as sane persons capable of helping their fellow citizens?
https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2021/07/22/the-pegasus-proclivity-on-recent-revelations-of-israeli-international-espionage/ This sounds like an Israeli intelligence coup. And after reading I see it as similar to arms dealers selling arms to both sides of a ...
