Taking away the three strikes law is silly. Sure it might not have been used much but how many chances does one need? You shouldnt be defending idiots.
I must admit I swear a lot, but you have to know when to use a filter. Manners are still very important, and something that I think needs to be instilled in our children. Its quite possibly why the rest of the world sees us as a polite and friendly nation. As for Marama Davidson, trying to free the c-word. Is that really the issues people are taking about?
Yeah hes the worst guy to comment on anything, and Im glad hes upset no one deserves it more. Just watched the Aus v Wales game. How has rugby gotten so bad just by playing in the UK?
Who actually gives a toss. People need to stop getting offended by everything and people need to get off social media it's literally stupefying humans.
Who really cares these rooms are meant to be styled up to the 9s. Also be family friendly and practical . I know many toddlers that would destroy them in about2 mins flat. All these âtrendsâ seem so fake and pretentious
I just cant understand how we havent learnt how to build roads in this country Yet. These companies are they seriously the only option? If so we are doomed!
Im guessing youre from Dunedin? Zealandia. Wiltons bush. The night life. Staglands. The zoo. Somes island. Eastbourne beach in the summer. Malls aplenty. Parliament buildings. Thats just the start. Its not a dull city believe me.
Trouble is for Steven hes essentially just a racist, so he writes with a pre formed opinion. That also makes him the worst person to ever write about rugby ever!
I agree health and safety is a bit out of control, but one thing I hate is ripped up lawn and tyre marks all over roads. The punishment needs to be far greater if caught. Instant loss of license, big fines and car confiscation are a minimum. Ive got no patience for these absolute losers of society.
Just get some positivity in ya life. So what who cares if its little or in fact a capital. Its a nice place to visit, go have a herbal tea and do some yoga.
I know and have you seen the site rugby onslaught? They really do hate NZ. I think it might have something to do that they get very little sun over there and it makes them bitter.
As a WOF inspector, I can tell you its not a money making scheme, and a wof check is very stringent just like a road worthiness check. Road worthiness checks also just put the emphasis on the driver so a lot less checking is actually done.
Never thought Id see the all blacks play two horrible games in a row, but here we are. Ireland played well but youd have to say we may as well been playing Georgia
Wait for websites such as rugby onslaught to say all blacks cheated. Also the the ref was biased and the all blacks were average. Cant wait for what they have to say
I work in the trade and Im a wof inspector. I see a lot of cars that should have had things failed by the VTNZ. people are only human, and there is pressure to get everything thing right. Its $60 for a check and sometimes its really not worth the hassle.
The notes are there for guidance only. Its hard to predict when exactly something might fail sometimes. Also vtnz have nothing to gain by failing your WOF so Id keep that in mind.
Youre British friends wouldnt understand culture if it hit them I the pasty face. Topp twins are genuine nice kiwis with absolute top morals. There shows are more about telling stories than about being funny.
Our system is much better. It Enforces regular checks. You just cant trust people to do the right thing. Especially if they know nothing about cars. I see it first hand most days.
Yeah I own two million dollar plus businesses and I make $100 a day. Although I sympathise with drive offs, that is the worst yarn Ive heard in sometime.
No way they should have access to our health care. For me its a classic case of you made your bed now lay in it. Also if you look at wages vs cost of a house in the big Aussie cities its worse than Auckland.
I think Ireland deserve massive respect, but yeah when was the last time the UK came to play in our back yard? Like why do we always have to play over there?
Not necessarily. For example if you look at tab odds the wallabies were much better odds to win than the $15-$1.05 for the pumas match. Any way they didnt win but youd have to say they were more threatening than Aussie.
So by that logic youre saying that if someone is 18 they can buy alcohol, so a person who is 17 but nearly 18 should also be able to? Think about it man, you have to have a cut off point somewhere. Its not a stupid idea at all. Also how is it more inconvenient for cars post 2000 to have a one year wof? It used to be 6 months for all. Back to the drawing board for you bud.
Him and that troll rugby onslaught website. They must be so jealous If they need to dedicate hating on NZ rugby. Why do they bother watching if it makes them so upset?
They overall do a fair check but sometimes they get it wrong. Its human nature. People are far to harsh on them as they really dont know enough. They only think they know.
