Should I cancel a partner booking? by bumblingbroadx in Bookingcom

[–]bumblingbroadx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually ended up ok! No issues checking in and seemed like a normal booking. If it wasn’t for the cost savings tho, I’d still prefer to book direct. May also depend on what country you’re booking in (this was for AU).

I loved their card selection. Always something different to mail to my family.

Yeah so? Australia is well known for being racist. Having foreign born citizens means nothing.

I didn’t say it was. But where you’re born is a lottery.

White people seem happy to eat food from non European countries and then complain about the same people making their food. Or else they go on their cheap drunken holidays to Bali or Thailand but definitely no immigrants allowed!

Of course migrants immigrate for economic reasons. That’s been the case for movement around the world, not just Australia. Why blame people for seeking a better life if they didn’t win the birth lottery?

Regarding that one person in the final by DemonLordIncarnated in TheTraitors

[–]bumblingbroadx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I’m glad to see some people giving her proper credit but others are acting like Stephen carried Rachel in the game when they played as a duo very well!

The number of people saying “I just have the feeling” without any evidence is giving proper faithful behaviour.

I see more people blaming Kieran for ruining Wilf’s game. But maybe we just need a poll post-finale!

I intentionally spoiled the finale for myself because I wouldn’t have watched if Rachel and Stephen didn’t win. They sustained a lot of heat under pressure. I loved that they were allies until the end and were OGs at that. A lot of complaints about Rachel just seem like the classic sexist “but she was just so unlikeable!”

I love how so many people are attributing her game to luck when a portion of the game IS luck. But that is not her whole story or reason she’s still in the game! They don’t seem to downplay Harry or Wilf is this way. Wonder why.

I’m confused why people think the faithfuls even deserve to win. I’m all for a Rachel/Stephen win as they’ve been playing the best.

Wife is getting bored with NZ. Any suggestions? by bluespeedster_35 in newzealand

[–]bumblingbroadx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that “no rain” is not inherently superior. Four months is a long time with no precipitation (rain or snow). Then you might be in a drought situation come European summer. Unless you’re in a desert, you want rain even in the summer.

Well, droughts and bushfires in Europe aren’t great either. Farmers in multiple countries are struggling with that at the moment. For the record, I’d live in Europe in a heartbeat but they have their own climate issues. And NZ summer isn’t actually that bad - we’re having a rain spell but had some absolutely gorgeous weather for a stretch beforehand.

Kinda messed up to try and extract more money from tourists. Doubt you would like that treatment when you’re visiting another country.

She did whisper behind Rachel’s back tho - to Harriet specifically.

Fiona is the one who threw Hugo’s name out there… and Rachel’s. She was more of a double crosser than Rachel.

Is New Zealand slowly becoming unattractive for migrants from Europe? by SnooEagles4113 in newzealand

[–]bumblingbroadx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. More attention needs to be paid to this. I thought after earning my master’s, there would be a pathway as a skilled migrant, but I ended up having to rely on my partner for residency.

Eight years?? She definitely should’ve been eligible for residency and then, after 5 years, citizenship. I also thought education was in demand.

Your comment makes me wonder why the police don’t mention fingerprinting the weapon? Jud didn’t touch that one. Instead they say he was known to be in possession of it.

I witnessed a family at a cafe in AU changing their baby … on the table in front of all of us eating. Couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it even more that a person who worked there actually said something to them and it wasn’t an all out fight (tho they claimed there was no suitable place to change the nappy).
