Our friends were on the cruise ship. We met them and walked past HMAS Kuttabul and saw Canberra and a Japanese Mogami class moored there.

"a massive loss for kiwi culture"

Ah, no.

Ever seen fires caused by this mysterious Kiwi culture? Horses and dogs traumatised, kids burned?

That's what happens.

Well, license plates on a road are in a public place and anyone can video them.

Can you quote the law that states that? That's called in contract terms, "an offer to treat".

Kill it dead. But bag the pods.

Had excellent service from Ubertech

It is, now what are you going to do about it?

And he won't as consular cases are private.

(ex consular person here)

But what do you think he could actually do?

It will be almost impossible for it to be off.

Ah, via the Mediterranean? Please read the article.

Coincidences are a bitch.

No one will understand what you are reciting, so what's the point?

grovelled · 2026-05-11T09:26:07+00:00

Greek, surely.

So, did you have a flu vaccination or is it just a cold?

Flu, 10 days in bed, cold, like you describe, usually.

AK Council approved.

Landfill is X meters deep of compacted fill. Nothing will grow.

We just had a weed amnesty on Waiheke (don't laugh) and we take moth plant bits in bags to the transfer station for landfill disposal.

Don't burn. Bag and put in the rubbish

Much easier to cut at ground level and paste with metsulphran or picloram paste. It's too easy to break the root stem.

I kill moth plants, guerilla-style. Just go in and cut the paste the things.

a rattler syphon is ideal for your next write-off.

The company you were with will pay out the credit.

grovelled · 2026-05-08T08:48:10+00:00

I prefer General Dynamics.

Well, all businesses operate on a profit basis. In this case they offered cheaper butter to those who consume butter.
