Steve (North Shore)

Nostalgia-NZ,
A Rates Rebate? You think that is a good idea and you think Len will go with that?
Where is my Water and Waste Water Rebate now that Watercare Services charge me $4 per day?
Where is my Refuse Collection Rebate now that I pay for marked plastic bags for a contractor to collect?
Where is my Rebate for all of the Services that I do not use?

Hey Aucklanders.

fish those voting papers out of the rubbish and vote for anyone except Len Brown.
Your country needs you to vote.

Otherwise you will have lifelong professional suckarse bludgers like Richard Northey and
his bludging cook relected.

No nothing wrong with the previous status quo bereal, Most do mow their own berms, but the council gives no rates concession for it, now they are saying if you keep your berm tidy and your neighbour doesn’t, tough it’s nothing to do with us. Of course if you put tree branches from your property on the berm waiting to be taken away they’ll warn you to move them, park a car of them and you’ll get a ticket – turn it into a jungle: no problem. That correspondent I mentioned above had threatened to sue the council for a hazard on the berm that caused an accident, they paid up. So they’re responsible as owners, for debris left on it, for the safety of the public crossing over it, for broken pipes that pass under it, but apparently not if it becomes an eye sore, maybe effecting possible property sales, an otherwise nice street and so on.

She’s pretty far gone now Steve but in her day she even had JB parking up Flossy in the house paddock while he lusted after her fruitlessly. 🙂

@peterwn

Thanks for the comment. I have been out mountain biking so did not get a chance to reply. My case is similar to the one you mention with Hart. I am up against a deadbeat former lawyer. Contrary to the view of some of the know all lawyers on this blog I have two options. First, cave in to extortion and walk away from my claim or represent myself.

I think you said you are not a lawyer. It sounds like you know more than the anonymous ones on this blog.

My advise For the poor ratepayers.
leave it get to knee high
If no one mows it
Roundup the berm monthly to keep the weeds down.
Or sow wild flowers.

I only got to step one.

The neighbor knew my attitude so mowed it from there on. 😆

Nice JW bloke.

hard to figure out where you are comming from.
you say,’Nothing wrong with the previous status quo, BUT…blah, blah..maybe, possible, blah, blah..’

Do you have a definitive opinion on the subject or not ?

Where’s Baity?

He was spinning so fast he disappeared up his own orifice.

Or he’s trying to work out how to set up multiple accounts to get that sitemeter stat up from zero. Must be a boiler room operation somewhere that can do a $/click deal? Worked for him on Whale Oil.

Maybe Red is coordinating this ? :

I am just the vanguard of a political movement that is going to wipe Progressives off the face of the earth. They’ll disappear like the Dodo birds did.

I am spearheading a force that will grow from hundreds to thousands to millions and you will be gone.

I am sure there is a lot of work involved in something like that !

Well, looks like GD is finally completely fucked, and who is surprised.

Weak jokes, insane conspiracy theories and self focused drivel.

Written by commies, obsessives, narcissists, trolls and loons.

A snippet of trivia:

The UK Conservative Party are also known as the Tories, a word that comes from the Irish ‘toraidhe’, meaning a highwayman or brigand.

It was adopted in the late 1670s as an abusive nickname for supporters of James, Duke of York, who later became James II. 🙂

Wars of the Roses
The origin to the words of “The grand old Duke of York” are believed to date back to the Plantagenet dynasty in the 15th century and refer mockingly to the defeat of Richard, “The grand old Duke of York” in the Wars of the Roses (1455). This war was between the house of York (whose symbol was a white rose) and the house of Lancaster (whose symbol was a red rose). The Wars of the Roses lasted for over thirty years and were equivalent to a Civil War.

Good link JB….nursery rhymes seem to have been used a lot in days gone by to rark up the political elite.

Or at least to get round the dangers of spreading opinions that were unpopular in the corridors of power.

“But kea also have friends in high places with West Coast Tasman MP Damien O’Connor fronting the kea’s 2013 Bird of the Year campaign this year. He said the kea was one of the most intelligent wild animals in the world, praising it as “the smartest, most beautiful and unique mountain parrot.”

I always knew Damien never read KB! 🙂

Another dam agenda.
$35m hidden in councils accounts.
Tasman District Council appears to be hiding the prospect of huge ratepayer expenditure on a dam in the Lee District.
Why the hell don’t local authorities just keep out of this business.
If it is going to happen let private enterprise be responsible not bloody ratepayers!

A bit of history.

The first ever general debate before general debate existed was the Friday Night Free For All on Sir Humphrey’s, started by yours truly on Friday 10 June, 2005. The purpose was to just chat about anything, and for the blog regulars to get to know each other better.

So, in my opinion, a general debate is about what ever the participants want it to be about. It’s up to who ever turns up to direct the conversation.

Sorry Redbaiter, have to disagree with you on this one.

A shake-up of how and where we bury the dead has prompted a city council to raise the “terrifying” possibility of people simply digging a hole and “putting granny in it”.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11135074

Plant some spuds over the top if you think just a hole is inappropriate.

I don’t know what the rules are regarding team sheets, but it seems like a technical error to me, it didn’t detract from the actual game. I don’t see how it could affect the game result. There could be a team fine or something like that.

It was known about before the game and should have been dealt with then, if anything could arise from it.

I don’t know how such an error might be treated, or punished. I suppose in theory the All Blacks might lose their competition points from the game, handing the chamionship to South Africa, but I hope the result on the field stands.
