Slightly the opposite of this thread title, a concert I initially said no to but ended up going was the Michael Jackson Dangerous tour at Wembley stadium 1992.

Seeing the "Northern Lights" have always been on my wish list, unfortunately it's never going to happen, except on tv/YouTube You in prison?

The two are incomparable, both are absolutely brilliant at what they do, perhaps the the OP should have been - I find Clarkson more entertaining than Attenborough - because, IMO, that’s the only metric by which you can compare them.

OTOH, one of the lines I think that I've heard many times, from grieving relatives of a victim is "I want the world to know/see what they did".

For what it’s worth, there’s a rental housing glut in the BOP at the moment, according to our agent anyway, we were trying to find a tenant for a mates house who had moved back to Auckland and she couldn’t find anyone, so we asked our agent to look into it.

No idea why

I agree that a nation's economy is a barometer to how a nation's citizens feel towards their government. However, in this case, I'm referring to recent public announcements that have little to do with money, and more to do with ideology and political position. I won't provide specific examples of t...

There are plenty of implicit accusations of antisemitism. Whataboutism is very useful for that. What about Darfur? Why do you only care about the Palestinians? I wonder why that could be? Wink, wink.

We have a uniform and when I first started working in NZ I thought wearing a uniform was terrible, like being at school again, but now I love it, don't have to think about what to wear, don't have to buy "work" clothes, nice and easy.

The ABs 2011 - 2015 didn’t win 70% between world cups akin to Foster’s All Blacks. Boks should aim higher. They pretend their players are amongst the Jordan’s and Messi’s of world sport, but they just aren’t consistently good enough. But yes, Soc Med is awash with Saffer circle jerks. There’s tens ...

It’s quite clear that some Bok fans think that their guys are not being regarded with the GOAT-type status that back-to-back wins should give them - and like ABs were given in their time. Hence these endless threads about Kwagga & Co and what they had for breakfast, and wasn’t it awesome The ABs 20...

When we've used property managers the bigger companies have been on the most part fine, the issue comes in when it's the sole operators who say they're property managers but only know how to collect rent.
