Rentals.....have a neighbour going overseas soon and is going to rent his home out.....talking yday, he said that those looking for rentals in this area have dried up.....and rent levels have plateaued. May have to leave it empty if noone turns up by next week....

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. The view out my front window is serene, neighbours talk to each other, and there's still three squares a day (and that's not Stevenson Famous ones)

I haven't seen the costings for this/these tunnels yet.......but a hole under a city in an earthquake zone seems a bit risky to cut 15min off a trip to the airport......and has jumped the needs priority for supply infrastructure to and for the South Island.

Meanwhile…..in the South Island, no ferry planning, a stuffed rail bridge on the Rangitata, one way bridges on all our major highways, collapsing water and sewerage systems, West Coast roads need upgrading, flood wall for Westport, and dolphins in the Lyttleton Port waters. I suppose NActNZ have loo...

Onya Leinster……enjoyed the game live on tv from the antipodes…..was impressed with the home teams defence, and vision to get the ball wide…..celebrate then onto the semi. Best wishes for that one…..

On a different note, and excuse me if I sound condescending, but if you want to quote somebody directly on PR, you need to hit the button in the top right hand corner of the post, that contains the speech notes [ " ].

We understand it we just want to know what incentive there is in life to grow tall if everyone is going to be made as tall as you. Should just stay small and wait to be given everything by the people in control of the boxes. Nothing wrong with growing tall…..but nature being what it is……that’s not ...

Tehui: I agree. Shall we change the analogy to a rugby coach of a second division club team?

That more than answers your question……good man!

Are there any former or current teachers on this thread who can share their experience of whether they treated every student in their class exactly the same? Or whether they had to give some students relatively more support while providing less support to the high-flyers? To answer that question yo...

Agree farmerdave....... Often the argument is that it's uneconomic to do the environmentally sustainable thing. How hell can we be economically sustainable if we're not environmentally sustainable. The classic is winter grazing, if you need to destroy the soil and water ecosystem to be economically ...

One pattern that has emerged on most media sites by lazy writers and speakers of english, is overused terminology which to me is a real turn off.....it's like the media who are trying to message for support on views (opinions) or product endorsement are shooting themselves in the foot. For example.....

https://i.postimg.cc/P5wXFSvq/Bias.png Have to agree with the bloke some posts above about the current news services in NZ.......not enough news factual reports......too much opinion.

Reading between the lines of VV’s interview……it seems that the push by NActNZ to restore “business confidence” is to go back to practices that maintain a low cost Labour farce……er……force. Push up unemployment to 5%, abandon the living wage, reintroduce 90 day work trials, tinker with the holidays ac...

Heard an interesting discussion between two proponents of cashing in Government owned farms yesterday on the midday farm show….Jamie Mackay. The gist was a government shouldn’t be in the farming business….and if cashed up would give opportunities to farm to young couples. Supporting their argument w...

Of an age here that I’d need a tricycle, as with a crook hip, I’d probably fall sideways at every stop sign. In saying that, did have out the $10 bike out recently to pick up the SUV after its annual service. Notice that around my suburb, a few bike…..but most kids walk to school, bus, skateboard or...

In a report last year by Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand, New Zealanders learnt, for the first time, the extent of these staffing issues. The estimated shortfall was 1,700 doctors, a gap that is projected to increase to 3,400 by 2032. Many New Zealand doctors are choosing to move overseas to pract...
