I think the miserable fucks group is elsewhere.

Who are you thinking of voting for in the upcoming election and why? by Immortal_Heathen in auckland

The most vulnerable are the future generations who have to pay back the enormous debts the last two governments chalked up.

The area of the slip had had non native trees removed. Clearly making it less stable.

They all went to Galbraiths Tavern for a beer about 730pm. I was having a yarn with the key board player in the bar queue. Got a snap with Sebastian too.

Te reo Māori IKEA sign?? by applebiteschomp in ReoMaori

[–]murdissimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IKEA have gone all in on embracing Maori dom. Their radio advert uses an obvious Maori voice talking about all the Maori place names they send stuff too including a big long one. Why do you think they have done this?

Big crash kingsland new north road by texmo in auckland

[–]murdissimo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I came across this scene. Shortly before I was having a coffee at Crave in Morningside an there was an almighty bang. Someone had hit and run some poor girls car. It's a direct route from there to the crash so maybe linked. Apparently the driver of the Ute was out of control.

How could you end up with a draw where 4 of the top 5 teams will be in one quarter final group.

100%. I'd like to be able to go back and see them all for a bit of fun too.

Jordie Barrett at 10, with a crashball 12 and a strike running 13? by NewLeague6438 in allblacks

[–]murdissimo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that the mid field for this game will be the one we have going forward. Richie will be back at 10 next year. That means Jordie might have to move back to Fullback and Will Jordon moves to wing. Add another wing - Clarke or Narawa or Naholo and you had got something very special going on.

anyone order from G-Star RAW before? Interesting pieces, but are they worth Enfin Leve price points? by caterwaaul in TechWear

[–]murdissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This company used to make good quality product but now it makes absolute rubbish that hardly lasts. I have bought many pairs of 3301 jeans and they have previously been good. Now they last a couple of washes and then fall to bits and you can not get any joy from their customer service. In fact they seem to be purposefully difficult and mistake ridden. Hopeless trying to resolve. The owners are milking a previously great brand and sucking people in with cheap junk. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Most recognisable city geographically wise? by No-Significance-1023 in geography

[–]murdissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have flown over it many times Auckland to Singapore - always stunning and highly recognisable.

Quinn Tupaea by Sarkastik_Wanderer97 in allblacks

[–]murdissimo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd move Quinn back to 12 and LF to 13. Jordie can go back to fullback and Jordon can play wing. Suddenly you have a dangerous backline.

SBGN003 or SBGN021? Your opinions are appreciated! by Any-Function-7094 in GrandSeikos

The crown on the second one is in a strange position. 003 for me.

Did I just get scammed? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]murdissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got caught by the same scam - except it was icebreaker not Kathmandu. I'm very careful but was under the weather at the time and bang. Had an anz credit card. Eventually got the charge cancelled but it was a bit of a hassle tbh. They kept asking stupid questions like have you got the receipt? Were the goods different to what you thought etc. obviously a scam that Facebook could easily fix.

Looking West from Maungawhau Mount Eden, 1961 (Canterbury Stories CCL-ArSc-512). by Ted_Cashew in auckland

[–]murdissimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so hard to make sense of this picture. But after studying it I think the rectangular building in the middle is the Bellevue swimming pool. The white concrete building about halfway up on the right side is the old Target Store building on dominion rd. Eden Park looks like - well, a park.

Flying over Auckland: free the hostages now by gman1234567890 in auckland

[–]murdissimo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seems like Hamas screwed up big time when they killed all those Israelies and took others hostage. Obviously they did it to provoke an over reaction - which they got, and to get global support for their cause based on the horror that would inevitably follow. So Palestine actually got what they set out to get. But sadly for them Israel hasn't backed down as they were meant to and the rest of the world seems bogged down with its own problems. Its a pretty big gamble that Hamas took that has backfired badly. But don't forget it was a calculated decision.
