No , so I better now .

( only thing that really qualifies me to offer much of an opinion on the state of the health system )

Eugenius

Shit !

Only just seen this mate .

Very glad that you’re alright .

Best

Closer to the action than Eden !

Available on DocPlay which is a very good source of documentaries. This is definitely worth a watch as well . The Gate Keepers http...

25 May ?

We’ve double booked and are off to Sydney for a concert .

These tickets were brought on my membership yonks ago and are now useless to us .

Decent seats

Surely debt reduction to those that do and have ? Perhaps a bond of sort for those that are out of training a generous incentive to stay in country for at least a specified length of time . Ultimately it’s not the slightly more money that will keep Dr’s here , there will always be more profitable op...

Eugenius

As if !!! I showed my other half this ( who’s a Dr ) she crack up laughing saying just how naive is this bloke ? I will be impacted by these cuts although in my case it will be voluntary. From what I have seen in my Dept is it is either the younger ones taking it before their OE, people close to re...

The worst part is that in a year or two, the Depts will be looking to rehire - but the damage will be done. All for tax cuts. No For getting rid of the pointless management/ administration positions so we can spend more money on attracting / training Drs and nurses..the people we need more of in he...

Tradies are indeed starting to struggle at the moment. Looks like they’ll have to open the flood doors again and inflate the economy with immigration. Which will of course crush increasingly underfunded services and overwhelm organisations weakened by less staff and cuts . Welcome to Austerity New Z...

Hired as security, I believe. Didn't protect them from the Israelis very well. That’s sadly wasn’t their main protagonist. They were hired to protect the food . And so it’s perhaps less sad that their ‘lesser protagonist’ killed the lot of them ? They’re starving ffs ! Oh wait you’ve denied that as...

Will Skelton, Bundee Aki and Uini Atonio.

Oh sorry I meant that they returned !

Eugenius

Bloody tax cuts !!

Eugenius

Name the NZers ?

Eugenius

As they are the end of the current Israeli leadership.

Netanyahu is gone burger .

Hamas or an equivalent is impossible to completely eliminate.

Eugenius

It’s not a priority .

Which is revealing in itself .

Remember how extreme some of the current Knesset are , these extremists have influence on policy and its tolerance to extreme actions .

Eugenius

I don’t open link posted by extremists. So just tell me what the point was. That there are reports from us and Canadian doctors about Palestinian kids with sniper shots to the head. Agreed, I’ve not said that hasn’t happened. And Eug confirmed the point about individual soldiers actions and “Israel...

Eugenius

I try and walk , it’s not far .

Eugenius

Agreed .

Eugenius

“Transport Minister Simeon Brown, after taking office late last year, has overseen a drastic shift in policy, placing emphasis on cars and highways, away from walking, cycling and public transport.“

That is rather weird .

Eugenius

Israel has also deliberately targeted children in this conflict... Fact check. This isn’t true. There's evidence that it's exactly true. Like small children turning up with single gunshots to the head from high powered rifles. Whilst IDF policy might not specifically include deliberately targeting ...

Pretty harsh on Reihana. He's barely played. I thought he was looking good in the first game before he was injured. For me he's certainly the player with the most potential out of him, Kemara, Burke and Hohepa.

Absolutely

Eugenius

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4SnfGyl-KE An interesting attempt to examine Hamas, their objectives and strategy. I don’t think these people are brilliant analysts (they aren't stupid), but remarkably few people seem to be doing this. Of course the Israeli retribution was anticipated , pretty sur...

Eugenius

There’s a huge groundswell against the current government within Israel, Netanyahu is finished .

Security by strength has been found to be a disastrous failure .

Eugenius

We give enough , besides it’s not what he would have wanted .

( convenient for us huh ? )

Eugenius

I dunno , I thought a slow improvement and maybe a couple of wins by scrapping it out .

But nothing like what we saw in the weekend, no way !

Eugenius

Well be honest at least .

I absolutely loathe Nicola Willis !

Irrationally.

Eugenius

Been left a small inheritance by an uncle , but it’s large enough for a couple of trips with x2 . I’ve always been fascinated by Mongolia the Gobi and in the nadaam games in particular. Has anyone been ? Any good ? Either that/ and or Tibet possibilities as the old bugger was abit of a traveller an...

It’s an interesting dilemma, eh? Where does one choose to go when they come across an unexpected windfall? I’m married, so wouldn’t have a choice, but it’s nice to daydream…. tbh, both you and euge are worrying me. You're dragging yourself and nearest & dearest to a place of strange accents, strang...

The Saders performance was night / day .

We’ll win 4/5 more now ( or should ).

Eugenius

Not going to happen . And not just because the two main political parties don’t want to share power either . Nor talent and its lack of . They really do have a different ideology ( of sorts ) and their competing interest groups wouldn’t stand for it . Unions and the Round Table equivalent ? The bank...

Eugenius

I think rather it’s a lack of genuine vision than a lack of capacity.

The ideology isn’t deep it’s mere words for effect .

And it’s from both sides .

The status quo isn’t nearly good enough but it seems that’s all that our political leaders seem able aim for let alone achieve .

Eugenius

Surely personality is reflected and intertwined in both politics and leadership style. Can't help but feel the biggest barriers to the success of the last government, this government and our country as a whole is the lack of talent and ability on each side of the political divide. Kick the minor pa...

Eugenius

Well, during the Ardern era, we often heard Booji's dislike of Ardern on this thread, seemingly due to her personality rather than anything else. Ahem ... nothing to do with her personality. I have nothing against her personality wise. She seems a nice person. Her politics and leadership style is w...

Redux is pretty damn good , with the French stuff even better I feel .

Eugenius

There are different styles of political leadership, but what's your definition of leadership in this context? Not spent the first few months only fast tracking their policy’s ? Negotiations not being utter capitulations and making it very obvious who’s in change of political decisions . Standing fo...

I guess what I’m saying is that I find it highly unlikely he would have allow Seymour and Winnie to highjack the narrative. He still would have lead .

Eugenius

Can he at least apply himself abit more to pretending to lead ?

I honestly think him better than this sad shadow .

Needs to get over his smugness at becoming PM and do the bloody job ffs !

Eugenius

I liked the addition of the ghost plantation family .

The playboy bunnies trading sex for petrol not quite as much , surprisingly .

Eugenius

The nadaam games ( Mongolian Olympics ) look pretty engaging though , I’ve always wanted to see them and the eagle stuff .
