Its unbelievable that anyone would even consider this tax, much less put it in writing! Why is a bach any different to any other asset someone may own. They going to tax people who own expensive cars or boats etc?
Just reading about the horrific, premeditated slaying of that poor Indian chap in Hawkes Bay and the disgusting, paltry non parole sentences handed out to the murderers. The poor family are being victimized again by our incredibly pathetic justice system. Its just staggering. If Labour and Angry Andy had their way, the pair of them would probably be on home detention or a spot of PD. What on earth is wrong with out country :(
My last 4 power bills are the highest Ive ever had - 4 in a row. And Im doing nothing different to last year, so its clearly gone up. As has practically everything I buy.. Pay is the same as when I started my new job over 3 years ago.. Yay
This is all well and good but: Id rather enjoy a nice hot shower daily and for several minutes, plus Id rather live in comfort. Good on him though if thats his thing..
The crims will continue to be crims, while all the decent folk will tow the line, pay the fees and do as theyre told. New legislation wont change a thing..
Yes, when I go to Aussie, where you can still buy it, I grab a couple of packets, ready for any filthy cold. Certainly helps. Also, literally half the price it was here before the druggies ruined it for everyone. That other rubbish they sell here is horrendously expensive and doesnt help in the slightest.
Several dollars?? I bought 6 x 1.5 litre bottles the other day for $5. The water is definitely disgusting now and smells and tastes like a swimming pool. Never thought Id be one to buy bottled water, but I do, just for drinking water. No other health issues etc with it for me thankfully..
I record this so I can fast forward that Julia. Shes painful beyond belief. And I know for sure that if I was Dave, I would so not be interested in any kind of relationship with her. As for that Russian woman? Good grief, the poor, poor bloke. He seems like a decent sort of rooster, & they match him with her?:(
Im picking perhaps Ryan Crotty ran circles around you one upon a time? The guy is a very good rugby player, hence he is an Allblack. Are you in the Allblacks??
Ive often found if I think Im coming down with something, hammer the water, as much as you can get down you. Flushes it out. several times Ive managed to avoid whatever was coming my way..
Then again, theres every chance it was a Great White. They appear to be responsible for all the attacks on surfers in Aussie, South Africa and California. Havent heard of too many Bull Sharks attacking surfers..
Remember trying a Starbucks Coffee years ago in Rotorua and thought it was nice. More recently in Napier, pretty average, although they were busy. Now if were talking overpriced. The coffee club! Bought a coffee there, unaware of the price until I went to pay for it. By far the most expensive coffee Ive ever bought. Never been back and never will..
What an absolute joke! To have any chance of being noticed or having any effect, they need to go on strike for a week. Same with the nurses. Of course this will never happen as a lot of them couldnt/wouldnt want a week off unpaid..
Its the slow drivers that do my head in. And yes, it was quite noticeable on the Gold Coast recently that drivers seem more courteous and all drive at the speed limit, happily let you into lanes, etc. Im sure their huge fines are a major incentive to drive at the limit. Its baffling as to why fines are so paltry in New Zealand.. Im sure all these texting drivers would be thinking harder about doing it if the were facing a $500 plus fine if caught. $80? Whizzo..
