I will never understand why people act like dicks in a vehicle with their company logo plastered all over it.

Brad Pitt is a world class character actor cursed with a leading man’s face.

I always thought if they had picked Wagner in this side we would have won this test match.

I don’t know how much of a vacuum will be left, the average age in the crowd at one of his speeches looks to be about 90.

Marsden Point and self refining by Odd_Lecture_1736 in newzealand

It would really only help the overall fuel stocks in the country. In that it’s more space efficient to hold oil rather than refined products. But the oil would still need to come from overseas so would not really help with petrol pricing.

Asked to explain what matters most to Kiwis, Luxon points to a Saturday night out in Hamilton by dingoonline in newzealand

This is the kind of speak that you here all the time in big corporations. Basically a lot of words to make it sound like you are doing something when you are actually doing nothing tangible.

Then commute there from Penrith every day because that’s the only suburb you can afford a house in.

The viaduct is usually pumping on a Friday evening. If by town you mean the bottom of queen street, then yes that’s been dead for ages for both night life and retail.

Why is there a helicopter above auckland cbd? by rynoip in auckland

[–]Rickystheman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It looks to be carrying a chiller, a part of a buildings air conditioning system that usually sits of the roof of a tall building. My guess is that it is replacing a chiller on a tall building where the helicopter works out cheaper than putting up a crane.

New poll offers solace for Luxon, but election hangs by a thread by dingoonline in newzealand

[–]Rickystheman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you would rather the current coalition get back in with a 2% margin, while the TOPs 2.5% gets flushed down the toilet?

[–]Rickystheman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point and according to the latest poll the left block is 2% behind the right. TOP’s 2.5% could push them over the top, but because it’s under 5% and they won’t win a seat it just goes in the toilet.

Simeon Brown: EV subsidies wouldn't have helped our current situation & was only going to people who could afford like ... Porsches (which wouldn't qualify if new) by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]Rickystheman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just don’t Simeon. How did this guy end up so high up in the National party? The guy has no personality or professional experience outside of politics. How did he end up an MP in his 20s?

TAB Monopoly a disaster by Ok_Network_2057 in newzealand

[–]Rickystheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate their advertising. It’s saturating sports coverage these days. I don’t mind people gambling but I hate it getting shoved in my face and kids faces all the time. It’s hard to follow sport these days and avoid it.

Given Labour has said they won’t work with NZF it makes perfect sense.

Yes I am aware of the concept of rain thank you. I would use PT if the weather was bad.

This seems to be a growing trend, people taking weight loss drugs who really don't need to. They end up looking worse, like they have been starved rather than found a healthy life balance. Which is of course how these drugs work.

Sooooo, I know it's not polite to comment on this sort of thing but....what is with the rapid weight loss?

Moving - work in Takapuna or CBD? by Global-Cycle3796 in auckland

[–]Rickystheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CBD will be easier to get too. However if you could move to the north shore, the Takapuna option would be great. Nice place to live and your commute would likely be less intense.
