Works for me Yeah it's just this thread that brings us crashing back to earth! :lol: I need to find a better book, I’m struggling with the one I’m on at the moment so I come here as a distraction and next thing you know… It's always entertaining watching you and Eug go toe to toe but it's a bit rou...

Is linking tax brackets to inflation happening? Is that included as a "tax cut"? Yep that's coming. Ta. I'm guessing it's considered a tax cut despite the fact that not linking it never seemed to get referred to as a tax increase. Which would have been a more accurate description. Yeah I've seen th...

Still a lovely place to live FB.......and if it wasn't for the media, I would have a clue what's going on around the place.

One thing for sure. Stuff is still going up in price. Another 50 cents / pie at the local :x When I touch down in Auckland on Friday NZ better be the land of milk and honey I was promised with the election of the new three headed govt. Will I even be able to afford my 6 monthly pie? Well at least i...

Serious question mate. How did you wind up in this predicament?

Shame on everyone who thought that Ian Foster would never land a head coaching role again and said his ascension to the AB coaching role was nepotism and jobs for the boys at its worst. The man’s credentials speak for him and on his and his merit alone, he has landed the head coaching role at Toyot...

We should all be thankful for that plus what's going on in Ukraine and Gaza. We really are bickering over our little first world problems.

My living circumstances are perhaps an example of the dog eat dog world, who missed out so I could come here, there must be a finite number of people who are allowed into NZ, why me and not someone else. My very employment meant someone else had to miss out, maybe it was a kiwi who I took the job o...

I thought National wants us to be aspirational ? Obviously not that way , too ‘unrealistic’ and utopian. :lol: Hilarious. Jacinda's Govt failed on almost every measurable metric going but that was Ok because, as Jacinda herself said, they were an 'aspirational' Govt. There is a massive difference b...

Without patronising anyone, OJ was guilty as hell and the jury - black or white - were mouth breathing morons to a person. I believed he was guilty as sin as soon as I read the facts of the case way back in 1994, before it had even gone to trial. But I have never heard the side story potentially im...

A bit of good news to cheer you lot up and distract you from the demise of our mainstream media. The Govt plans to resolve the housing crisis by making it easier for landlords to evict tenants.

It's also a loss which emboldens Putin. It does get him what he wants out of the war at this stage - which is unpalatable to say the least. And opens the door for a repeat down the track. Everyone is massively overestimating the odds of this happening. The Russians are done, this war has shattered ...

We definitely can. It is a remarkable achievement to do all that he’s done, which what appears to have been, in relative terms at least, a modest level of talent. Apparently growing up he was a gun swimmer, he was much better at swimming than Rugby. In high school his dream was to represent NZ in s...

However I'm pretty sure it was a wonderful 'family day out' that just ended in a minor family squabble. Nothing to see here. Well bugger me, you've changed your tune over the last few months.

Gangs. Thought the new three headed snake govt would have cracked down on the gangs by now. ;) Right on cue. :lol: I will refrain from commenting until I hear Marama Davidson's take on this.

Eales once stopped a penalty goal by jumping up and blocking it, before kicking the ball past the PG kicker into touch. Never happened before or since. Well, it almost happened the next week; except this time the referee wasn’t mesmerised and correctly ruled it a knock-on. The other team scored a t...

It's tough on those losing their jobs but it would be good to know the numbers of public servants in 2017 when Labour came to power, how many the numbers swelled by under Labour and what National are cutting the numbers back to.

Indeed. Did he not also best and humiliate the Bok's great hope, Eben Etzebeth, for that lineout steal? My memory was that it was the older, past his peak version of the great Victor Matfield but I'd need to go back and have another look. I've checked and can confirm that it was EE, who incidentall...

I will forever worship Whitelock for his lineout steal in the 2015 RWC Semi final vs the Springboks as we clung to a 2 point lead in the rain late in the match .

I don't cycle, as I don't trust drivers after too many close calls when I was younger. However, I've never understood the ideological position taken by some that transport development should be about roads, roads and roads. When I'm driving, I like seeing people cycling as it means less cars cloggi...

Quick poll. How many here ride a bike to work?

Don't get me wrong, I love cycling but it's a recreational pursuit for me. No way cycling to and from work is convenient in any way shape or form for me.

Let's hear from all you regular posters?

Good to see you FOG. I just assumed you were still busy partying, celebrating the reinstatement of interest deductibility on your rental property.

If you want to see a banal thread check out the Israel one at the other place. Or rather don't!
