Huh

Even though National won 26 electorates outright, plus a win each for Act, Greens and the Maori party, Labour had a majority in the party vote in all but 5 electorates across the country.

Including Papakura...

If I'm still commuting? = The S63 Otherwise the GT-R They're both very bling. The cabriolet S63 looks very fine Indeedy I'm not a rag-top guy myself, but there is something to be said for "in the wind driving" And being an S-class - more technology than pretty much anything else on the road

Mercedes Benz AMG has got you covered 4 door saloon that goes like a cut cat and sounds like the apocalypse? AMG E63S A step up to a 2-door, 4-seater, uber luxury sports coupe? AMG S63 Coupe A Fuck-off, full on, 2-door, 2 seater, guaranteed head turner every time? AMG GT-C Or the full on AMG GT-R

Just a quick note on 16 year olds voting (mostly just to see what it is like to post a reply on the new forum...). While I can appreciate the thought put into Gordon Bennetts response, I still see no compelling reason for expanding the voting franchise to include 16 year olds. For me there is one cl...

about 5% of the size of my 7 year old desktop PC.

South Auckland is where the international airport and the main quarantine centre is. hmmm airport workers? From what they said I did read between the lines one of the people might work somewhere busy. They specifically mentioned "one workplace" without going into details. Might well be an airport, ...

Nobody thinks laws are perfect but you'd think that the body with the power to change them might change them if they think they can't comply. The main thing about laws is that they should be followed on a mandatory basis not a voluntary one. If it's voluntary then there's no point to them. Also, it...

From Asmo If people have issues logging in, sometimes Firefox is the cause, get them to use Chrome. Firefox extensions are a bitch, if you don't want to use Chrome, tell them to shut off all the extensions, try log in then, if it works, re-enable extensions 1 by 1 until you find the culprit. Also i...

Milford is top of the bucket list I wouldn't mind seeing it but the thought of all the touro traffic does nothing for me, especially when I can go for a walk through Te Urewera or the Kawekas and see no touro's at all. Not to mention staying in basic huts for no charge and getting to read the hut b...

My diagnosis was confirmed in January of last year. Found two small tumors. Had hormone therapy for 6 months and then radiation treatment. The 4th week of treatment and the following 6 or so weeks were pretty horrendous but otherwise no drama. My PSA results dropped from 9.6 at the start to <0.05 9...

Invercargill is closer to the equator than London.

It's a minor point but I couldn't see why butcher shops and other small retailers that sold the same products as supermarkets couldn't be open. Instead the supermarkets made bumper profits while some small retailers went to the wall. Just to clarify, supermarket sales were actually down 11% in Apri...

Made the conscious decision to stop watching TV news somewhere around 2002 or so.

Apart from a lapse of a few hours last March, have stuck to it and don't regret the decision at all.

Because whilst funding has increased , the priorities are increasingly skewed . Management layers have increased , . Where and from what? with higher salaries for administrative leaders and budget rationalists . Higher than what? Fewer managers have any clinical experience whatsoever and that’s pro...

Sorry, but I profoundly disagree. We're struggling with a global lack of supply leading to national preference distribution - so with a global shortage resources as is are likely being concentrated in the wrong place overall. Arranging local production and local distribution is an enormous backward...

My core objection to it is the carbon footprint and pollution that air travel involves and the startling images and data of the clearing atmosphere in Asia and Europe testify to that. I think you'll find that has much more to do with factory closures and minimal ground transportation rather than re...

It's interesting how social mores change so rapidly. I just went out for a bit of a walk, lots of people doing the same thing. A month ago, to visibly, even ostentatiously, move away from a person approaching could have been interpreted as a sign of fear or intolerance. Now it is seen as a sign of r...

Just for obelixim: Out of pure boredom I just scanned through all 68 (never knew there were so many tbf) of NZTA's AKL cameras covering motorways and major roads Total of 58 vehicles seen. I'm pretty sure I counted a couple of the vehicles twice just due to camera positioning 58! Thats pretty damn g...

I feel like I am living in a long, narrow, box. I wake up in the morning at one end of the box, have breakfast and then drive (mostly) deserted roads to the other end of the box. There I spend 9 or 10 hours doing what I do. Back into the car, along the quiet roads and return to the first end of the ...

How come supermarkets and dairys are allowed open but not butcher shops or other businesses competing on essentially same market? eg green grocers like t-market fresh or the mad butcher? dont get it. surely they are all allowed open or none? would it not be better to allow the lockdown "off" say .....

Well the drive into work was a little surreal this morning. I managed to go 21km across Sth AKL without stopping - at 7am. The drive home was even more bizarre. Taking the off ramp at Takanini has been a pain the last few weeks with cars backed up just about to the motorway. Not so this evening. The...

FMCG supply chain and manufacturing with a reasonable bias towards natural health offerings.

Cannot keep up with demand at the moment.

I have my little story of panic buying and the supply chain impacts: One of the items we supply to Grocery is alcohol based hand sanitiser, the good stuff When the panic hit late last week we sold a months worth of stock every day for 3 days, then we ran out. We have a large amount making its way to...

Question, from midnight tonight all individuals entering NZ from overseas will be required to self-isolate for 2 weeks. But how is this actually enforceable?

As of midnight Sunday every person arriving will have to isolate themselves for 14 days, Sounds good but how the hell does that work?

The Indian government has placed an export ban on all API's (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)

Most of the world supply comes from there.
