having done hot desking and open plan i would take redundancy. its a nightmare. no permanent base is so disruptive. it is the stupidest idea since married at first sight.
this seems completely nanny to make a law around allowing pets in rentals. how completely absurd. under all these new left wing cuddle laws, once they are in it will be one heck of a job to get them out. good luck landlords I am glad I am out of that game.
thats a great list. people try so hard to get offended. this is a seriously good list. I have an idea for number 16 on the list and it relates to the faux offended.
I thought ref was really good. he allowed a very free flowing game. you will get the odd disputable call but thats sport. what a good performance by ABs too.
Oh lord its hard to be humble when youre perfect in every way. I cant wait to look on the mirror, cause I get better looking each day. to know me is to love me ... I guess Im a heck of a man. oh lord its hard to be humble, but Im doing the best that I can.
groups of women talk about me all the time. its embarrassing. I have a wife and children so I wish they would show more respect. I have never heard them talking or seen it ever happen but I assume they are talking about me.
isnt this the point of the Canadian pair that wanted to speak in nz but were denjed. their point being that unless new cultures etc actually assimilate into the existing culture then things dont work. seems by the number of up votes to some comments here that maybe they had a point that a lot of nzers agree with.
some children enjoy playing while they are still kids. there is plenty of time to do adult life stuff as an adult. homework is ridiculous and takes away from the ever shortening family time
dads leave is a joke and not worth salt, funny to read it is paid now as it was unpaid a few years back when it was offered to me. dads can take the mothers entitlement too but its not made clear and not easy to do. I jumped several hoops but was able to take the 14 weeks or whatever that was meant for mum. the pay was atrocious though but at least it was something. dads are very much a second class citizen from the treatment in hospital to the leave arrangements.
girls room looks like a motel room with a hideous headboard. it seems all you need to do to be trendy is not fold up the spare blanket. its just like art. we get whats hot and whats not dictated to us by self appointed experts.
intergenerational abuse of all kinds is pretty common when you start to really look into some communities too. Its a real eye opener whats going on where groups are basically squatting in shacks on Maori land. almost 3rd world conditions and by choice.
Yeah what about the criminals that make school lunches in between drug runs. lol what happened to stuffs pro gang stories... they were great. NZ is so easily lead its not even a challenge now. look at new plymouth, they voted a high profile meth selling gang member into their council thinking he was a saint because he did a childs motorcycle toy ride. all gangs are criminal organisations, its as simple as that.
great lets make alcohol more easily available for everyone. only good can come from this, like Sunday trading, like supermarkets selling alcohol, like lowering the drinking age. those moves have been a roaring success.
yup when you think of all the unnecessary costs our politicians waste money on ... 80k for a flight to nauru, 20m on a flag survey. politicians waste so much money without even a second thought when it could be injected into worthwhile projects like these. it makes me very angry and it seems as always that until a prominent politician actually gets cancer then we will not see any change.
I saw a local under 15 sports team listed on Facebook the other day and 8 of the 17 had double barreled surnames plus another two had hyphenated first names. what a nightmare.
some cleaners work hard, we have gone through a lot of cleaners and had all sorts of problems getting good ones. as a side note I have multiple tattoos and all visible. Wouldnt bother me if I couldnt get certain jobs because of it. no dramas.
doctors arent paid to care or think too much so its always best to help yourself as much as you can. we had a similar story and our problems only got solved by dr google after 7 years of issues and medical failings. once we properly diagnosed ourselves then the medical peeps were great.
self employed and calculated income is always an issue, not just with acc. it shouldnt be this difficult, there should be industry standards for self employed roles to make it easier in tricky situations. come on acc pay the man a fair wage, he has obviously been carrying this injury for a long time and it has obviously affected his work so he should not be penalised for continuing to try and work.
I wonder which part of the country you are from. put your bias to one side and support the ABs after such a great game. beauden was pretty good from what I saw
Maori was forced on us at school. I failed it on purpose when i was 14 as I saw no use in spending any time on it. that and music were the only subjects I ever failed.
my Dr is 40 bucks. the same cost it was before the govt started funding them. Funny that. its a rip just like day care funding. they just ramp up prices. what a joke.
for the sake of science I watched this very closely, on slow motion, several times. I cant remember my point but I need to watch this again just to make sure ... you know, science.
perhaps playing rugby would help. I know from experience, having been overlooked for 21 years in a row since retiring, that reputation wont get you that black jersey. I am still hoping for that call up for the 2019 world cup but after that I may start to lose hope. or maybe not, with a new coach comes new hope!!
feel sorry for ALB. He is pushing out some good performances at test level but cant crack a regular spot. Surely it would be better to keep him at 12 rather than change the midfield yet again.
bold call - I like the cut of your gib. is it gib or jib? I agree his skill set is fantastic where he gets the simple things right and he always seems to make the right call when decisions are needed. I cant believe he isnt a starter. I guess Conran had quite a long wait too for his starts.
yes you can build their experience massively by being in the squad. game time will come but he needs to be patient like every other all black. how long did keiran read have to wait before he got in, he was overlooked for Adam thomson in the early days.
so to summarise you are saying mccaw and reid are different captains, also that Cane is not mccaw, not only that but Squire is not kaino. this is pretty heavy stuff, has anyone told hanson this?
I thought the ref was pretty good. he got the card decision wrong but several all blacks have been penalised and sent off in the past for high tackles that werent. ref was good, abs were great, France was poor.
ALB has all the atributes of a great centre. great vision and really good core skills he always does the right thing at the right time. Centre is a very specialist position and he is potentially a great one for us.
the boks rattled us with their attack. rush defense is nothing new and we still scored plenty against them. abs struggle to defend for long periods if a team keeps coming at us on attack. well done boks.
I have a belly and no hair ... well not where it should be and I am one sexy beast. I dont really smell that good either and am generally depressing to be around. oh and I owe a lot of money too. just sayin
Joe is now assigned the journeyman tag. he will be a gatekeeper to the upper levels. a Carlos takam type fighter. I would like to see joe step back and hit the gym, shed that useless baby fat and stack some muscle. make a comeback next year and let the hands fly.
we dont ban people here. we just ensure they dont meet the standard required to enter eg valid credit card. most types we dont want here cannot provide that so have to leave. we refuse to accept repeat custom from people who have been less than satisfactory.
if your main criticism of BB is that he wont be 3 time player of the year, then you are really scraping the barrel. all i see in that statement is that he is a 2 time player of the year. sensational.
I kicked a bag of recycling once. felt good at the time and made a great noise. however on reflection it later made me feel like a toddler having a tantrum but it served its purpose of hurting my foot.
Yeah I was all prepared for outrage but this is probably on the money. the comp is boring. same thing every year. I would rather tour south Africa or whoever for three tests including mid week games etc.
he is making a lot of money being used and being held back. also held a world title and is involved in a pretty big heavyweight showdown very soon. being used and held back got him onto the biggest stage and forced his opponent AJ to fight in a way we have never seen him fight because he was very very wary of this used held back fighter. they are going pretty good i reckon.
Yeah and they had got a lot of penalties in that game too so pressing hard for the try could easily have resulted in the penalty. we usually win those ones and dont learn from it eg ireland. so as long as we learn a lesson so it doesnt happen at the wc.
