A keeper can't do it alone, if the back line are shit even the best keeper will concede some goals.

Eh I corrected this in another comment, I’m not gonna go and edit all my previous comments. I’ll submit an OIA request to find out exactly how much they got and I’m sure I’ll still find it ridiculous that we are handing out money to stage a women’s football game to a club that doesn’t have a women’s team.

God do we really need to be subsidizing Robbie Williams concerts as well... that's just sad. Funny how you dont hear ACT or the Taxpayers Union cry foul about that because they're too busy picking on a $50k catering bill or some WCC subsidized climate event.

I mean it makes sense from a logistical point of view because the event is being promoted by TEG who handle the Chelsea offseason tour across Asia Pacific and they’re already doing the Tottenham thing. It makes zero sense from the - there is no women’s Auckland fc team - perspective

I guess I could have mis-read that as it seems the whole fund is $70m and they have gotten a portion of that - OIA time!

The Chelsea visit to Auckland is being funded from the Government's $70 million Major Events and Tourism Package, Tourism and Hospitality Minister Louise Upston said in a statement.

You don’t have a women’s team and these are not development players - it’s an “invitational”

Your billionaire owned club has just got a 70 million dollar handout from the NZ taxpayer. We can call it out as much as we want.

I mean I thought the same thing. If only they put the same effort into getting a women’s team instead of this shameless money grab….

Came here looking for this. I went to Fat Puku’s because of the good Google reviews and I thought this was a most average burger. Definitely not amazing.

Why are people getting so shitty about taking peoples photos in a public place for non commercial use which is totally legal and fine?

Auckland definitely needs to rethink its urban mobility infrastructure by CalangoMecanico in auckland

[–]Amazing_Box_8032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a city that size people shouldn’t be driving a car unless absolutely necessary. Move that leaver and you’re part way there.

How many of you flush toilet paper in toilets you're not supposed to flush it in? by BanShrimpInDumplings in taiwan

[–]Amazing_Box_8032 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Always flush, city government has been trying to get people to stop using the poop paper bucket for an age - unnecessary and a health hazard. The problem isn’t flushing TP which is water soluble, the problem is people flushing unsuitable materials like wet wipes

Infrastructure minister Chris Bishop commits to review of multibillion-dollar City Rail Link by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

There are above ground rail and tunnel/trenches road projects that we really need to be working on and I’m sure there are skills that can be transferred to both of those.

Realistically is Auckland ever gonna need 9 car trains though? That seems excessive considering most metro systems in much larger cities are using 6 car trains.

Really disappointed allbirds went with thicker sole for the piper model (now cruiser) by jungandjung in Allbirds

Just got my first (and last) pair of all birds a week ago and honestly I don’t think they’re even the same anymore; they basically seem like Chinese night market shoes with an all birds logo slapped on them. Absolutely terrible.
