Haha. Sounds like one of them is one of those cases South Korea's seen where people who'd had it and who've recovered are still testing +ve.

I fixed jaw fractures on 2 women in their 20s this week Wonder what the domestic violence figures will be for this period :evil: I hate hearing about people doing that. Nah it's all good.

Capitalism does not work without failures, including bankruptcies, mortgagee sales and receiverships. A mate of mine's a repo guy in Auckland. If anyone raises an eyebrow he just goes M8, if you don't have repo, you don't have credit. I used to say something similar in the bank (to my bosses). If I...

I was musing the other day when out on a ride whether some form of ACC-like insurance for such events (droughts, floods, tsunami, etc.) is needed for business continuity. At the moment it very loosely exists because the government / taxpayer steps in, but it's all last minute, all rather arbitrary, ...

And - in the good news department, the Mrs and I have just gotten off the phone with her Dad who was discharged from hospital today and is back home. Outstanding. And against all the odds my mum made it as well. 78, career smoker, advanced dementia, wheelchair / bed bound, etc. Initial fever, teste...

Received the April month cheque from our property manager in Queenstown, income down 96% on the monthly average. What are you going to do about that Jacinda? #SaveOurOffshorePropertyOwners rental market may be a surer bet for the next 12 months Will it? With no jobs there will be fewer workers arou...

I'm amazed at how equities are holding up. Can't help thinking that there's a whole lot of reality to hit regarding medium-term impact in places like the US, UK, mainland Europe, etc. hasn't been properly accounted for and the whole lot will slide a long way over the next 6 - 12 months.

1. That's a good number.

We'll want to see a nice low number today - 3, 5, 9... if we get a 15 or something we'll do a bit of a squeeky bum until tomorrow.

I see Bridges is beating the same drum that got him pilloried earlier in the week. STF up Simon, it's doing you no good. Besides, people want solutions, not snipping from the sidelines. Whoever is advising him should get a boot up the bum. Something tells me you are not really his key voting demogr...

Surprised at the suggestions Tova doesn't like the PM (and it's quite possibly true - my following of our political reporters doesn't go much further than saying "fudge off Katie Bradford" when I hear her voice on the TV in the background) - brother of a mate is friends with both of them (previousl...

I'd certainly be up for full on NPC and North v South. I've fallen off Soup watching this year on the box. I'd go to a bunch of live games for an AB NPC for sure. That would be fine and well if we were starting from scratch. But we aren't. SR franchises have players, coaches, assistant coaches, off...

Those death figures coming out of the UK are terrible. Just shocking to read and my heart goes out to all the British posters on this forum. Especially given that you guys have been in living under severe lock-down restrictions for a considerable period of time as well . Feeling very lucky to be li...

Don't know if you fellas been watching what's going on. Sam Whitelock and a crew of players including 7s and women etc have apparently been recruited to start chucking ideas around. From what he said the other night looks like local super teams may have a gallop, with either a north/south game or A...

Some overseas-based players must be back and available? Not many of them would be rushing back to France or England. That could add some interest as well.

I'd like to see a full-strength NPC comp with a three-match North / South series in the middle.

Assuming things continue to go well (mockers, etc.) we should get rugby this year. Maybe with empty stadiums, but nonetheless. What do we think of the options? - the NZ soup teams in a cut-down comp - don't like this, seen enough soup - a full strength NPC comp would be awesome - really looking forw...

Hey, I’m very happy he’s the leader of the opposition. I think he’s doing a sterling job. Long may this ‘arse licking’ continue. I find it exceedingly humorous also - 🤞 Yeah, but weak oppositions aren't a good thing. E.g. Labour for eight years and ten months couldn't do a thing to hold National to...

I've met Bill English before. He made a bee-line for me at an event I attended in 2014. I'm not sure why he approached me given the other fancy people in the room, I was just attending for the free feed. He came across as down-to-earth. Perhaps he was keen on a new portfolio ? BRING BACK BILL! BRIN...

This is a helpful measure - total UK deaths this year vs. average for same time in previous years. Shows deaths massively under-reported, and running just shy of double what's been reported as the hospital number so consistent with Spain's 50% in care homes and the home. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/...

He will have costs awarded against him, surely. NZ First Foundation will pick it up. He was wronged though; I wonder if it was the campaign manager for the Nats who leaked the info.

And yes, Boris has obviously been objectively worse than Trump. Boris has followed his experts Valence and Whitty. What they have advised he has done. Trump has spoken publicly against his experts but has followed their advise after a lot of convincing. How can that make him better than Boris? Unde...

They won't. I don't think it's even possible to maintain social distancing in construction. You might be able to organise sparkies, roofers, scaffolding, painters and plumbers to drop in and avoid each other for the most part. Actual construction though is pretty hands on and I don't see how that p...

Not really comparing apples to apples though, when you consider population density. Large, concentrated populations are going to fare worse. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the US death rate either, as there will almost certainly be a deliberate effort in Republican areas to understate it/not test...
