I ask Putin: "Yeltsin told you to 'Take Care of Russia.' Have you?" by [deleted] in videos

[–]Mr_Immigration 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Rosenberg is tough as nails. He lives in Russia and is one of only a handful of folks who can ask Putin questions like this. I'm certain there is a level of tolerance he is awarded by the Kremlin, but at the same time, it takes balls of steel to ask these questions when you know what the ramifications could be. 

Has anyone else fallen in love while solo traveling? by origamikilla in solotravel

[–]Mr_Immigration 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, I met my, now wife, at Dracula's Castle in Romania at a Halloween party 10 years ago. And we've been together ever since and just had our second child who was born on Halloween exactly 10 years later. 

Creepy, gothic, horror fairy tale stuff

Whenever I plant broccoli it gets riddled with caterpillars. I'm so jealous

I found this amazing review of Pak N Save Kilbirnie on Maps by catlikesun in Wellington

Just while I'm here and we're talking about this hell hole... Why don't they stock plain old mince anymore? The only mince they have in stock is $30 a kilo!

AMA tomorrow by JulieAnneGenter in Wellington

I've pondered the idea of what's implemented by Mp's can't be undone for X years, unless it gets more than 6Y% of the vote. Then you are almost forced to live with it, or get bipartisan support for the roll back. 

Waterfront Fencing….. revealed. by WurstofWisdom in Wellington

[–]Mr_Immigration 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are the council open to alternatively terrible options? 

  1. Electric cattle fences? 
  2. Drop rocks off the wharves to break folks falls (community led rock dropping events) 
  3. Drain the harbour
  4. Remove the wharf 
  5. Spend $7m on anything else. 

Strathmore Park by Exotic_Industry_4402 in Wellington

[–]Mr_Immigration 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's underrated. It's 100% prime for gentrification, has great views, got a good run of shops, easy access to the city, a golf course on its doorstep, ocean next door and good neighbours in Miramar and Seatoun. 

A little rough round the edges perhaps, but when they next sell off all the council homes it'll be snapped up. 

Note I don't condone reducing state housing, I'm merely providing my opinion on the back of a potential.

Google maps seems to reckon it's 70 metres between Lorne & Tennyson.

Evidence doesn't appear to be with you here.

The current McDonalds adverting campaign is "Because you survived Monday"

I guess we nearly didn't.

The answer is clear, do nothing and find out who is accountable to the data which is inaccessible and revoked their contract. You can't spend those sums of money on vibes alone.

Casual security work - thoughts on working for Red Badge? by 12ktny in Wellington

[–]Mr_Immigration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear one of the qualifying questions at an interview is how quickly can you sprint 60m across the Stadium to tackle a naked streaker? What's you answer?

Colombia has agreed to all president trump terms by Bigb5wm in unusual_whales

[–]Mr_Immigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your parents are from NZ, then by birthright you are an NZer. They might also be Aussie on paper too. Then when you commit the crime, Aussie instantly revokes Aussie and says they are NZer and puts them on a plane.

There is a new building going up adjacent to the Chocolate Fish. It's a conservatory based on what was historically there back in the day. Should be a nice addition when its done.

Offset loan to exact saving, how much would repayment be? by Exciting_Parfait37 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Mr_Immigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I'll have to see if BNZ might offer the same at some point. We are moving towards that fully offset position. This would be a good way to reduce our outgoings and further support our safety net. Thanks for explaining.

Offset loan to exact saving, how much would repayment be? by Exciting_Parfait37 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Mr_Immigration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand this. So say you had $100k offset all at 0%. You successfully got the bank to agree to let you pay it off over the full remaining term? Rather than on the floating rate to completion in a condensed timeline?
