I used to read articles on stuff about how the All Blacks were ruining the game of rugby because they were too dominant. Then they lost a game by a point and now stuff wants the coaches head because he hasnt got what it takes..... Fml.
Youre not old fashioned for wanting the best players on the pitch, but your are old fashioned for thinking that the All Blacks are still trying to play the same way as England.
You would have to be crazy to apply for a building consent before you had the resource consent granted. They have been let down by their consultants, not by the council. Source:am a consultant
Lyns assertion: Capital represents historic work. Capital gains come directly from that work, so should not be taxed, because it is unfair to tax hard work!Well Lyn, WORK also represents work. 95% of the country are taxed every paycheck for their hard work. Why does your hard work not deserve to be taxed? The tax from my hard work pays for the infrastructure that you use everyday. It would be great if you would contribute your fair share. Freeloading is the dirty word here Lyn, not working hard and having financial success.
I always expect to see some unintelligent comments, but blaming Labour for this really takes the cake. Did you blame national when Mainzeal went under? Sweet jesus.
If you take a look at Beaudens easiest try from the second wallabies test, the one where he literally just fell over the line after Goodhue was brought up short, youll see that there were about 4 ABs lining up for it. The difference was that unlike the rest of them, Beauden slowed down, readjusted his line and timed his run perfectly for Aaron Smith to pick him out. While any of the All Blacks could have scored that try if they had been in the right spot at the right time, the truth is that Beauden WAS in the right position at the right time and it wasnt due to luck.
While I agree that Todd is a better 7 than Savea, it irks me when people bring championship winner into it. By that logic Scott Barrett should start at lock in place of Brodie.
Im just glad that they didnt get the try that they were hoping for, because that would have reinforced the poor decision making. Its good for them to be making these mistakes in what is essentially a dead rubber game.
They are competing too hard with each other to get projects and in doing so they agree to contracts that they shouldnt. Then they put all their good people on winning new projects and leave the actual completion of projects to less experienced people. Its partly greed, partly incompetence/inexperience.
You havent tried very hard to see it from a new perspective, have you? Advance Australia Fair was written in 1878 and was sung as a patriotic song from then until it became the national anthem in 1984. Australian law did not recognise Aboriginals as humans until 1967, almost 100 years after Advance Australia Fair was written. They were legally considered to be fauna. The lyrics we are young and free were written at the same time as the colonists were literally hunting the indigenous people, who had been there for over 80,000 years. They probably would not have used the words young or free or fair to describe Australia at that time.I see where she was coming from. I see where people who find her behavior unpatriotic are coming from too. Most countries could probably come up with much better anthems than what they are using today.
South Africa defended as if their lives depended on it and they made the most if the opportunities they were given. Full credit to them. I can guarantee that the All Beauden/DMac wont let a drop goal go begging again and Jordie will reign himself in a bit. It was good time to learn those lessons. Much better than in the RWC final.
Not sure career-wise, or just Pollard, but SAs kicking stats for their first 3 rugby championship matches were 33%, 67% and 50%. Hansen is right in saying that he had an unusually good night with the boot.
Nothing to do with Labour buddy. Did you blame National when Mainzeal went under in 2013? Construction projects generally go on for a matter of years, so this issue has been building for quite some time.
You will only pay capital gains tax on the gains. If you purchased it for $200,000, spent another $50,000 on maintenance etc over the years and then sell it for $400,000 you will have made $150,000 in capital gains and would be taxed accordingly. Here is your exact argument presented in a slightly different way: I worked 40 hours last week and earned $1400. Tell me WHY I should pay income tax!

Do you really think that BB is just making the decision to kick in the moment? The team has a game plan that they stick to. He would get dragged in 2 minutes if he went off script.
While I agree with what youre saying, how about providing some useful info. This just sounds like a hit piece. As a small business owner myself, I dont understand what has changed since Labour came in. Did national used to come in on Wednesday afternoons and fix the photocopier? There is heaps of work out there and plenty of people willing to do it. My outlook over the next 2-3 years is great.
Weird example, because movies dont always advertise that they have subtitles. Ive been caught out by subtitiles movies because I didnt do enough research beforehand. I only blame myself. Here are the two steps to take before you build anything: First, get a resource consent or ensure that you do not need one. Second, get a building consent. easy.
Ben Smith is the best right winger we have. Naholo doesnt fit into what the ABs are trying to do, because he is just ok under the high ball and cant kick for the life of him. Did you see his attempted clearance against Argentina? While it pains me to say it, Milner Skudder hasnt been impressive for a couple of years now. Jordie is great under the high ball, has a huge boot and is very strong in contact. A number of times on saturday Jordie held his ground in the tackle, even against a couple of loose forwards, which gave his forwards enough time to arrive. Dmac cant do that. These are the things that the All Blacks coaches are looking for in a full back, which is why he gets picked. He has some positional and mental things to work on, which will only improve with experience.
The fact that we consider it just another woman having a baby is precisely what this article is about. We dont think its a big deal. She can be prime minister and have a baby if she wants..... This would not be the case for most of the world, just so you know. It is a sign that our society is progressing.
Helen Clark was seriously feared but respected, and Sir Robert Muldoon ruled like a dictator. Their strengths later became their weaknesses.So your saying she needs to be feared now, even though its a short term leadership strategy and will become a weakness in time? I cant make sense of this contradiction.
She is one of only 2nd world leaders in history to give birth while in office.... Something happening for only the second time ever cannot really be considered ordinary, can it?
