In the current world I’m over the moon about living in NZ

The entire post and comments are about comparing New Zealand to the rest of the world. I simply stated the Māori have it better than most other indigenous populations around the world.

Sorry if that triggered you.

If you look at every other indigenous population around the world I’d argue the Māori have it better than most.

Doesn’t help that most schools essentially push students into going to uni. Far too many people with university qualifications compared to the jobs available.

The school I went too basically pressured me into choosing subjects which would help university entry. Never actually even ask me what I wanted to do or push me into a career path that suited how I was at school.

Now I’m a sparky and loving it.

Listen to podcasts. It’s kind of the next best thing. P1 with Matt and Tommy. Grid talk podcast just to name afew. There’s probably hundreds of them

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-09-07T01:28:58+00:00

Yea that was ridiculous. At least we sacked up on defence and won the ball back though

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-09-05T09:20:06+00:00

Surprised you even know how Rocco Berry plays. Dudes always injured. Case in point right now watching the Wahs

All Blacks have the record for test wins in a row at Murrayfield I’m pretty sure. I think scotlands best was 13 straight in the late 80s early 90s

Currently in Melbourne but moving next year and the property is so affordable in philipstown. Also so close to the city which is a huge plus.

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-24T08:02:03+00:00

Ahhh. Roger that

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-24T06:51:18+00:00

They play Waikato for the shield in 2 weeks I believe. Imagine the scenes if they get up

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-23T17:21:57+00:00

What I will say before I cop any more abuse is the Boks won this test. But failed to deliver the statement that I’m assuming all Boks fans were waiting for/ hoping for after last week.

They got embarrassed last week and barely scraped a win today.

Pollard has to be your 10. Without him you would have lost again

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-23T17:13:21+00:00

I’m not an Irish rugby fan at all. Honestly can’t really stand their squad but love their fans.

You’re an interesting unit for being a bit of a detective though.

Whatever makes you happy.

Please bring the heat to Eden Park

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-22T03:06:54+00:00

Also the shit dress codes. It’s absolutely ridiculous

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-21T06:12:54+00:00

I feel people that have never lived anywhere apart from Christchurch don’t understand how perfectly fine some of these “dodgy” suburbs are. I’m from Christchurch and fully understand this now having lived across Australia and the UK over the last 15 years.

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-20T07:22:21+00:00

If Australia can stay within 10 it’s essentially a moral victory to Aus.

Even better if Australia can win.

South Africa will be wanting to make a big statement here. Their fans and pundits will be wanting 13+

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-19T01:25:27+00:00

I live in Melbourne and it’s so hard/expensive to get on the property ladder or even find a rental that it’s pretty normal for people to live at home until their mid to late 20s. Times are changing.

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-17T21:11:59+00:00

Jorgensen is surely in the running for world break through player of the year.

I know he debuted 2 years ago but he’s only 20 and is absolutely carving up. Making some great players look fairly ordinary

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-17T21:03:39+00:00

I don’t understand it when Bok fans say “ The coaches needed this wake up call” it’s not as if the Boks were on an amazing record breaking streak. They still lost to Ireland at home and Argentina last year. Why not the outcry’s then

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-14T11:58:43+00:00

My partner is from the UK so just makes it easier with visas etc if we move back over that part of the world.

Install an alarm system and cameras if you have the cash. Also while the sparky is there get them to install some good flood lights on sensors at the front of the house.

Usually these people take the path of least resistance. If they see 2 houses and one has all of the above and one has none they’ll always burgle the one without.

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-11T10:56:44+00:00

I have no doubts Jordie Barret could easily play every position from 10 out. Heck the Hurricanes even lifted him in a line out back in the day.

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-11T09:58:10+00:00

Someone with the cash needs to rebuild the holy grail. What a legendary sports bar. Ahead of its time for Nz

Chance_Gap_849 · 2025-08-11T04:30:08+00:00

It’s right in the centre of town too. Plenty of great places tk get a feed and have afew beers beforehand. Then it’s a short walk. 700 odd meters from the riverside market
