Looking forward to the new cycleway along Wellington harbour as that'll make the cycle from Lower Hutt to Wellington much more pleasant. The reporting on that has pissed me off big time. Any time there's an issue with delays, costs, impact on the environment it's always "Cycle Way" rather than 'sea...

Ok so the responses so far a greater % cycle to work than I expected. Well done guys. Do you utilise cycleways where available? Further to Jammy's post I used to cycle to work in Auckland, not 100% of the time, but I used to also notice that the cycle path was not really used by the majority of cyc...

I don't cycle, as I don't trust drivers after too many close calls when I was younger. However, I've never understood the ideological position taken by some that transport development should be about roads, roads and roads. When I'm driving, I like seeing people cycling as it means less cars cloggi...

Quick poll. How many here ride a bike to work? Don't get me wrong, I love cycling but it's a recreational pursuit for me. No way cycling to and from work is convenient in any way shape or form for me. Let's hear from all you regular posters? 2 or 3 days a week (and the aforementioned Cambridge Tce ...

And yet I’m argue that Taylor is the biggest since the Beatles. There’s something there. What is it though? Record sales? Cultural impact? Number 1s? Or is it just your inner Daryl Kerrigan? Record sales, eh? It’s an interesting question but I don’t think record sales is meaningful. So what is? I c...

Hurricanes adjacent related - just watched the Wellington Saints (basketball) season opener and John Plumtree's son (who is only 17 and still at school) is pretty handy. Played decent minutes, got some buckets and defended well. Also was unafraid to get in the face of Rob Loe who is much older and b...

I’ve done the garage thing but rarely trained well. I don’t need the other people - I prefer when it’s empty - but I like ‘going to the gym’. It’s like a switch or something that gets me into the right frame of mind. I never got that at home. And I like the mirrors. And the sauna. Yeah me too. I've...

3 guys are talking about how they've never achieved anything and one suggests maybe they could try to get in the Guinness Book of records. Guy 1: So I’ve been thinking: my head is pretty small. So I’m thinking, maybe I could record for smallest head. Guy 2: Actually, now that you mention it, my arm ...

I think it was Aristotle that said "give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man". There is plenty of empirical evidence showing the impact of quality ECE education on cognitive, language and motor skills, in addition to social and emotional skills. A suitably qualified teacher utilisi...

I'd like to see someone interviewing Luxon say to him "Can you just say the thing you're saying please? I can see you and hear you saying things to me, you don't have to to tell me that you would say something to me every time you're going to say something to me. Just f**king say it"

The details of the ECE family boost scheme have been released. I'm no expert in this area and having 'adult' children, nor do we need to use ECE services. Does this look fit for purpose?

The revamp of the ECE 20 hours free is just f**king bullshit that'll make it less accessible. Not everyone can afford to pay it until they're given the tax credit and not everyone will be organised or clued up enough to do so. It's an unnecessary change designed purely to penny pinch and National ca...

It's an envy tax, pure and simple. Politicking at its best. Sounds good to those who know nothing about tax but ineffective, inefficient and won't actually make a positive difference to anything. The horse has long since bolted for it affecting the housing market, but that said it's still a good th...

After six years in power, ruling it out in their first term, deciding against it in their second term despite having an outright majority. Now Chippy reckons we need a CGT.

I don't think the Greens are in free fall, a couple of bad eggs doesn't mean the whole party is rotten.

Cast your mind back a few years Booji when National were in free-fall. Every party has the problem because most politicians are narcissistic trough-swillers who think that laws and rules are meant to be ignored by them.

Yeah but they are the only party claiming to be more woke than than the some of the left virtue signalers on this thread. Hypocrisy layered on top of bad behaviour leaves a worse taste in the mouth than just bad behaviour. I think that's in the eye of the beholder, tbh. Is it any worse (in terms of...

Just started getting back into exercises that aren't physio (knee replacement just before Christmas) or a bit of walking (i.e. a few km).

I myself have changed up my training style in the last 18 months substantially.

Why the 6 week cover up by the Greens leadership though? Similar to GG.

Mate, 5kg of muscle is a BIG step in that timeframe. Suspiciously big….. TBF, I'd been trying to lose weight prior to getting back into it so a portion of that is probably just regaining muscle and holding more water - I doubt I've actually put on 5kg of new muscle, but yeah am getting good results...
