Crowds on a balmy night are to be expected. I expect the rest of the nights to be better managed.But a many only have themselves to blame.Doing dumb things like: Drivers queueing all the way back up Rolleston Ave and Park Terrace, hoping for a park to magically appear. Really? Lots of people and car = No parks down there!!! But: there are lots of (shock/horror) Parking Buildings (1st hour free on Lichfield)!
What anyone with the Lime app can do is go find these scooters in these off street places and report them to Lime as stolen (in the app).There is currently 1 scooter well within the school grounds at present (it shows on the app so, this is clearly meant to be available for use)There are several over the line (in the school property?) between the bus stop and the school gate. They are either against the wall on the footpath or behind that wall.Given that it is 4:40 Monday afternoon, tha6t seems a funny time to be in the school
Im not a NZ1st voter. Never have been and never will (The party name is enough reason).But this tv3 lot are up themselves.Peters is the acting PMGet over it.
That is a breach of Limes user agreement.That means that every user (e.g the registered user who validates that they are over 18), is in breach of those rules.What is Lime goring to do now I wonder?BTW: I know that this is not the only horder, there were 2 in the office carpark of the local radio station the other day.
That may have been 1 in the 90s but not now.Getting married is no longer enough to get residency.Immigration seem to start from your position with a bloody hard and stressful slog for a perfectly legitimate relationship to to get recognised
No they have not been vetted.They turned up in a boat of Australia, so got sent to Nauru.They stay there or get sent to where they came from, regardless.I get that they should not be allowed top queue jump.Note: Australia takes a hell of a lot more refugees (through UN channels) as a percentage of their population than NZ and most other countries. It also has one of the highest percentage of immigrants in the world.
Night drivingWhen to use headlightsYou must turn on your vehicles headlights:* from 30 minutes after sunset on one day, until 30 minutes before sunrise on the next day* at any other time when you cant clearly see a person or vehicle 100 metres away.Never drive with just the park lights on. (Note: park lights are now referred to as position lights.)This prohibits just the park lights on in the 2 conditions when you must have your headlights light on.It does not prohibit driving with your park (position) lights on outside these conditions. (However, Im and all on/all off kind of guy)
Given it was deliberately sunk as a blockade ship, I would expect anything of value to the navy to have been removed - apart what was required to sail her to the blockade
No, it it not a dancing competition, it is a reality show. It is as much about personality and popularity as about dancing.There are plenty of real dancing competitions out there of you are really interested...
Old photos... There is a hell of a lot of structure added since these photos..Funny, given this building site is clearly visible from The Press office...
If you know you have poor night vision, why are you driving at night?An idiot riding with not lights (and probably wearing black) will not be taking any notice of sharrow markings or any other road signs or road rules
Bollocks. There is nothing in the history suggesting regular use by families for picnics. I have never seen any picnicking in the square. Given it;s open plane, I don;lt see it as an attractive place for a picnic (given the high traffic flow)
This building seemed old and lost pre earthquake. Im now glad it will be restored.I visited Blue Skies (weather forcaster) in this building in the mid 90s. I think they were in the pavlon at the top.
OK. I admit it... I found the fog light control on our 2 cars the other day (a 2nd ring switch on the light/indicator stork).Always willing to learn.... (I drive less that the other 2 drivers in our home....)
Abuse is not on obviously.However: I assume you were jogging on the left side of the pathI assume that, considerate riders would have ring their bell if you were not.I assume that, having heard a bell, you would have moved to the left side of the path to permit safe sharing
I am puzzled,When my children went to primary school, Bible In Schools was done early one weekday morning (monthly?)It was voluntary, children were taken out of it by parent choice, and it was not part of the school teaching day.The program was taught by volunteers that were required to follow the agreed program (I believe by the Churches Education Commission)It seems to me that schools have dropped the ball with certain school boards pushing their own agenda and certain voluntary teachers have pushed their own believes ahead of a relatively neutral program.Of course the program must be voluntary with informed consent by the parents and there should be a valid alternative program offered.
I cant see your point... Flying your bloody drone in a public place without permission is usually illegalFlying your bloody drone over a private place without permission is illegalTaking photos onto windows and private spaces is without permission is illegal
You realise that parking in the Lichfield parking building and catching the shuttle has been well advertised, if you care to pay attention.(Yes - the whole car park fiasco has been disgusting, especially with the wonderful help from the National let ministry of health)
Funny, when I saw the movie (a long, long time ago - in Dunedin), the Death Star traveled to one system, blew up a planet then traveled to another system to blow up another...
Yes, it is 100 years (in 6 February this year) that British women gained the right to vote - 25 years after New Zealand women gained that right.What part of that do you not understand?
Christchurch was always a city with a confusing shambolic road system, filled with crazy Christchurch drivers. Oh well, now this is now my home and I love it.
Yea right... some kid is dragged over to Aus by their parents, goes to Aus schools and hangs out with aus kids, grows up in aus and turns bad. Whose bloody fault is that then?
In every society, to a small or large degree, there are those that will prosecute others for not following their way.That nominally christian societies have done this does not make christianity evil. It is however a failure of christian belief to change those intolerant haters.You may have noticed one hell of a lot of haters are coming out of the woodwork of late. Most are not christians (but a hell of a lot, sadly, do claim to be)
What are you talking about? What do you mean by; put there buildings back in Dunedin?Yea, Christchurch (and Canterbury) has a larger population base, so larger hospitals.Also, Christ Church has services Dunedin does not have (as Dunedin has services Christchurch does not have)

Bunning never has supplied plastic bags (at least since thy opened in Christchurch years ago)They do make cardboard boxes available. but are from their restocking, so are usually funny shapes and sizes.
Calling it treason is way over the top (were not mericans).But it would be offensive to many and should be illegal (minor offence).Note to D.G.I have also raised and lowered the flag at school. I have served as a leader in cubs and scouts for a number of years.Even if I was really pissed off, I would not burn the flag.I despise the right-wing wofters that insist on walking around with our flag shouting their hate.
