How Iceland is recovering….How about this for a tax….

Annie Mist, the world’s fittest woman will have to bring the USD 250,000 prize money to the Icelandic Central Bank within two weeks; otherwise she risks a prosecution for violating the rules on foreign exchange. She can expect to pay the Icelandic supertax.

The prize money is paid in US dollars and surpasses the legal limit of foreign currency ownership for Icelandic citizens living in Iceland

Annie Mist can expect to pay the Icelandic tax authorities an estimated USD 111,731 in supertax.

Imagine that, winning 250k in a fitness competition in the USA, and then having to fork over 111k in ‘foreign exchange’ tax .

Nasty!

Isn’t it fun when the worm turns, and even bloggers like Irish Bill at The Standard turn their anger on Labour, and Trevor Mallard in particular?

When the David Carter milk enquiry is discussed at Caucus today it would be helpful to know whether there is any metabolic or chemical difference between milk brands. For example between premium Anchor and Standard and Home Brand?

This would help settle an argument. One person believes the fat content of, say Home Brand/Standard, has been reduced and the milk thinned or blended. They argue that the taste is significantly different.

My view is that it would be illegal to do that and present it as conventional or standard milk. Does anyone know?

@Griff—-I’d like to see an investigation into those who did not reapply for the benefit—

Not only to detect historical fraud, but to also find ‘holes’ in the existing systems that can be closed.

There is a wealth of data, it needs mining for gold. Give me a million bucks and the data, and I bet I could save that 10 fold.

The milk enquiry: Storm in a teacup – yeah, that’s what I thought: What’s in the milk?

At $2.90 per 2 litres that’s 29 cents per 200ml glass. Even 40 or 50 cents isn’t a lot compared to many other things of comparable nutrition.

Compare the price of 2 litres of milk to one meat pie, or one hamburger and it doesn’t seem that bad.

Had a polling company call last night. Apart from the obvious questions, such as Who I will be voting for, and who I voted for last election, the also asked me who I thought was lying out of Phill Goff and Warren Tucker, and what I thought of Trevor Mallard.

If this election is being fought on personalities, labour will struggle.

Red Alert abandons its final pretence at allowing free speech. Clare Curran says:

“The trolls who inhabit this site are on notice.

You have been tolerated for long enough. Your tactics are increasingly obvious. Real debate is encouraged on Red Alert, but not trolling.

You will be banned without notice.”

Do you want to drive traffic to your site or not, Clare?

Just turn off the moderation and let the mad dogs speak for themselves.

Remember the golden rule of publicity.

Re the London Riots- They were sparked after a guy died during a shoot-out with Police in Tottenham. The locals have gone on a rioting and looting rampage as a result of this, apparently at war with the ‘Racist Police’.

“In Hackney, with the street thick with smoke, looters smashed their way into a local shop, stealing whisky and beer. One had even grabbed a packet of cornflakes. Another man ran away laughing while carrying four bottles of whisky.”

Clearly these ‘oppressed’ people have a tremendous Political Conscience.

Riots in Britain, for real insights go to the inspector gadget website.

I love the reporters saying these people are “youths.” They’re criminal rioters and should be shot.
The same reporters who demand police action would be reporting police brutality. Police are always in a lose/lose situation.

Problem in mainland Britain is tactics. Politicians and senior police insist on soft tactics with rioters.
This would not happen in Ulster in the past where baton rounds would be fired to disperse such mobs…….but that is politically unacceptable on the mainland.

We reap what we sow and one only has to look at England. Years of wet liberal policy will be the death of the Poms. London burns and madness rules. Must be heartbreaking to watch your business or home go up in flames and stand there helpless. Of course the people have been castrated by left leaning scumbag politicians who believe government is the sole enforcer. I wonder how much rioting would be happening if responsible, licensed firearm owners could still posses firearms.

We need an open discussion in New Zealand on immigration to establish some aims, and a plan.
Without one we know what is likely to happen.
Multiculturalism doesn’t work.
In the UK the problems inherent in open immigration were identified by Enoch Powell and they
have taken a mere 40 years to grossly manifest.
We are currently making it work well with two main cultures and a variety of largely compatable
minors (pacifika etc.)
But why would we want to continue to import immigrants who we know will not integrate and
will eventually seek to impose their culture on their hosts, us ?
40 years ago there were a handfull of muslims in NZ now there are 50 thousand odd.
All western countries with significant muslim immigration now have unsolvable problems.
The genie cannot be put back in the bottle.
Is it the huge influence of political correctness that makes this topic verbotten ?
Is it because its a no win political subject ? ( at least for the next 35 years)
Has 9 years of Helen Clark telling us we are a secular, multicultural society as she paved her way to the UN
conned us ?
Why will nobody address this question ?

Agreed, but don’t forget to add 20 years of taking away hope for people by moving jobs offshore to cheap labour countries. Then, just to pour lemon juice into the paper cut throw in bailing out private financial organisations to the tune of billions using taxpayers money, after which the greedy fuckers go straight back to paying themselves stupid bonuses on top of already huge salaries.
No wonder the peasants are revolting. They probably don’t know it themselves but these are all contributing factors.

To those who suggest shooting them? Magic idea, let’s have another Syria. It’s been a few hundred years since the Poms had a revolution, they must be about due another one.

“And just on the whole Capitalist rools, fuck all other systems, ya boo sucks.”

Don’t you find it deliciously ironic that Adidas are stopping certain overseas suppliers selling All Black shirts into NZ?
This is the same protectionism that was used (and correctly ridiculed) in the bad old days of strong, left wing unions to protect jobs and artificially keep prices high via tarriffs etc.

Remember those days? When governments were called on to bail out failing car manufacturers in the UK to protect jobs?

Fast forward to 2010 and we are bailing out banks, finance companies, companies are seeking protection for their products from overseas sellers. Aididas aren’t the only ones to have licencing agreements. It would seem that nothing much has changed in the last 60 years except the name of the ideology.

Mind you, there is one small difference in the two scenarios, in the old days those anti free market measures were taken to protect jobs, these days the same tactics are being employed to protect profits. Something pongs a bit.

I don’t believe free markets are the best option, however I understand the argument and if it is the consensus of society I am happy to work within that framework and debate the point later. But they have to actually be FREE!

I work for myself, the harder I work the more I earn, it seems like a reasonable sort of a system. This is why I find it ridiculous that big businesses are employing exactly the same tactics as the left did through the second half of the twentieth century. The only difference as noted is concern for profit compared to concern for people. That’s probably why I am more of a socialist with capitalist traits (or vice versa) than an Ayn Rand fan.

Shakey went to a psychiatrist. “Doc,” he said, “I’ve got trouble.
Every time I get into bed, I think there’s somebody under it. I
get under the bed, I think there’s somebody on top of it. Top,
under, top, under … you gotta help me, I’m going crazy!”

“Just put yourself in my hands for two years,” said the shrink.
“Come to me three times a week, and I’ll cure your fears.”

“How much do you charge?”

“A hundred dollars per visit.”

“I’ll sleep on it,” said Shakey.

Six months later the doctor met Shakey on the street. “Why
didn’t you ever come to see me again?” asked the psychiatrist.

“For a hundred buck’s a visit?
My bartender cured me for ten dollars.”

“Is that so! And just how did that unlicensed and uneducated
amateur accomplish that?”

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed!”

A fellow walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
A few minutes later a nurse’s aid came out and asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room.

Ten minutes later a nurse came in and asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

Fifteen minutes later the doctor came in and asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.”
The doctor said, “Where?”
He said, “Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?”

A blonde and a redhead met for dinner after work and were watching the 6 o’clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn’t jump, and the redhead replied, “I’ll take that bet!”

Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owned. The redhead said, “I can’t take this, you’re my friend.” The blonde said, “No. A bet’s a bet.”

So the redhead said, “Listen, I have to admit, I saw this one on the 5 o’clock news, so I can’t take your money.”

The blonde replied, “Well, so did I, but I never thought he’d jump again!

If you want to wear an AB jersey, but you can’t afford one…um maybe don’t get one? If we all boycotted adidas, maybe they’d stop sponsoring the ABs and we’d have Canterbury jerseys for 5% cheaper, maybe. Same with RWC tickets – the tickets to the top games are pretty expensive, but if you want to go you want to go.

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the Northern motorway.

Nothing is moving.
Suddenly a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls
down his window and asks, “What’s going on?”

“Terrorists have kidnapped Hone and Titiwhai Harawira.
They’re asking for a million dollar ransom.
If they don’t get it they’re going to douse them with
petrol and set them on fire.

We’re going from car to car, taking up a collection.”

The driver asks, “How much is everyone giving, on average?”

“About a litre.”

One good thing about the RWC ticket prices is that I won’t have to worry about bumping into too many beneficiaries, leftards, unionists, tree huggers or morons at any RWC game (including the final). 😛

You think?

You will be wrong.
The rest of us will be working so you can see the games, pay for the bill.
How much money are we the taxpayer spending on this?
Does that make you and the rest of the ticket purchaser’s beneficiaries?

Well in my book yes.
Govt. is taking other peoples money and giving it to causes that do not necessarily reflect the interests of the fleeced. That makes the Rugby Union and the ticket purchasers beneficiaries.

See you at the final Elaycee.

Yes V2, I appreciate the taxpayers subsidising my entertainment, in much the same way as I appreciate the Wellington ratepayers subsidising the cost of our stadium.

Thanks.

I never said it was compulsary – just expressing my frustration at ADIDAS charging NZers way more than anyone else. The game tickets I brought cost me the same as anyone else from around the world would have been charged. Not comparable.
no need to be a dick about it guys

Milkmilo again dreaming: “See you at the final Elaycee.”

First time you’ve described yourself as a moron. It suits you.
