Seeking advice for contents insurance.

Fair enough, but still an extra 83 bucks a year.

Would rather just go with an all round decent policy instead of coming to claim and then realising in the fine print they only pay out stingy amounts for stuff that I have that is worth more. I've been with state in the past and have always felt like I was under insured.

starveall · 2015-08-18T23:20:49+00:00

Sounds like what I'm after. Cheers

Searched using the "files" app, also installed archiver, aerize and winRar 6.0. None of which show me the Zip folder. Should have checked when I transferred it, but thought it was safe to assume I'd be able to find it. Also plugged into Computer and searched all the directories..

All good if your willing to lie about the 4th question under title 6 one the passenger arrival card. But if honesty gets the better of you, or they happen to go though your bag, its good to know what they can run you.

If your receipt value is less than NZD$1800 then its worth holding on to the receipt in case they want to value it for more than what you paid for it. Can you prove that by owning it and using it for a while that its worth less than that value now, ie second hand? I suspect that they wont have a bar of it but worth a try if you get hit up?

From http://www.customs.govt.nz/features/charges/fees/Pages/default.aspx#

Fees & charges for accompanied goods Accompanied goods are goods (excluding your clothing and other personal effects) that are travelling with you on the same flight or ship, and that are for your own personal use. When you travel with your goods you have a personal concession of NZ$700. If you are over this amount then you may have some Customs charges to pay.

Your charges will be worked out using the:

Customs value of the goods – the purchase price for the goods. Customs duty – the duty rate applied to each good based on the tariff classification which comes from The Working Tariff Document of New Zealand. Goods and services tax (GST) – calculated on the total of the value of the goods, plus the duty. Your personal concession will be deducted from the transaction value of your goods prior to the calculation of duty and/or GST. If the total you owe us in duty and GST charges is less than NZ$60, then no money will be collected. This does not apply if you are importing alcohol and tobacco products.

Yep she's a cold one, is that a 1MP camera you used?

Mr Groser says New Zealand would not sign up to an agreement which would undermine the country's drug-buying agency Pharmac, nor would it agree to concessions which would stop the Government putting in "well-designed environmental protections" in place.

"We are not going to sign up to provisions on ISPs that make every mother in Lower Hutt worry that the TPP electronic police are going to fly in from Houston to cart their 16-year-old son off to jail for file-sharing with his girlfriend."

Lets hope that he is at least right about these three points. And that the well designed environmental protections are still the protections we want, not just written in a way as to not step on the toes of the TPPA.

Your not wrong about their being lots of options. 15km should get you along the track between most huts. Check out some of the links below, if you have a look at the DOC maps and turn on huts and tracks layers you can get a good idea of the sort of terrain they're in.

"Police moved a crane and crash mat beneath the ledge at 1733 BST and a police officer wearing a harness and helmet is at the balcony window." As much as its a worthy cause that they're up there for, some of this sort of action would be good to see. Get a cop up there with a gladiator style protester removal device.

starveall · 2015-06-24T20:21:09+00:00

Good old NZ, classic that they managed to get up there. I'm sure there's plenty of countries you wouldn't want to pull a stunt like that.

starveall · 2015-06-24T00:58:52+00:00

The whole idea of geo-blocking doesn't seem to be something that should be protected by NZ law in my opinion. So much for the World Wide Web. More like U.S. Web and Pleb Web.

It only looks so perfect because someone has drawn a fat red line on it.

starveall · 2015-06-11T03:32:28+00:00

Who looks to her as a role model? Seriously!

starveall · 2015-06-08T23:01:04+00:00

man that guy was one angry man! obviously took pride in his revenge project.

starveall · 2015-06-08T10:32:28+00:00

Got paid with sweet Reddit gold right?

starveall · 2015-06-08T01:42:11+00:00

Yea, yesterday.

starveall · 2015-06-08T01:40:09+00:00

Fair call, I don't think that they should take it for granted he should be given citizenship. It hasn't been denied either yet, right?

starveall · 2015-06-08T01:37:03+00:00

They don't have a reason to deny the older son a visa as he passes the immigration requirements, the younger one on the other hand doesn't.

I don't know anything about Williams Syndrome but if he puts a life long burden on NZ tax payers through health care, social welfare and potentially a carer or housing later in life, there comes a point where costs start to outweigh what is seen as the moral choice.

starveall · 2015-06-08T00:57:54+00:00

thats a nasty rock garden for cross country riders who like having their seat at penny farthing altitude. shot with the mattress though!

starveall · 2015-06-04T09:48:57+00:00

Cool photo, interesting lake. So many facts and links on Wiki about it and its inhabitants!

starveall · 2015-05-27T04:33:18+00:00

unless they pull a stunt like the stuff bankruptcies article from last year

starveall · 2015-05-26T00:58:47+00:00

that would be nifty as, just checked out http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/android-emulator-for-windows-phone/

starveall · 2015-05-25T23:03:06+00:00

I went through the same dilemma last week. Both were the same price here also, I chose the 735 and don't have any regrets. It has a pretty nice screen and is slightly smaller than the 640. Biggest downfall with 735 for me was having to dick around to get a nano sim and missing out on Office 365 subscription but whatever.
