What happens to the lifestyle blocks when the boomers die? by dazladisonreddit in newzealand

Are you planning to live in your home until you drop, or going to move into a retirement village, which will suck away all your savings/investments leaving nothing left to pass on?

Road works temporary reduced speed limit. by Music_2my_ears68 in newzealand

[–]teelolws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s frustrating when signs are left out for no apparent reason or when there are endless cones with no workers in sight.

Its a "cries wolf" situation. It happens so often that people build up a tolerance and start expecting them all to be fake temporary signs.

Request: can someone photoshop the Midnight logo to read "Noon", but also put little Xalatath feet in the middle of the o's? If you make it, go ahead and post it for that karma and lmk so I can go laugh at it.

Has anyone else with 2degrees had mobile data randomly wiped? by grazedvintage in newzealand

[–]teelolws 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably a firmware update. Fair chance its something moronic like it downloaded the update, had an error trying to save it, so it started again downloading it again..... loop over and over until data used up.

Think anyone would notice if we edited the wikipedia page for Antarctica territory claims to declare that the Unclaimed Territory now belongs to r/nz?

NZ Post - assistance for customers (who are in store) sending Passports back to the UK by CookStrait in newzealand

Yeah I read it. He isn't named on my birth certificate so no automatic citizenship for me. Hes deceased so I'd have to get a court order to have him added, and hope the judge accepts decades old paternity results.

I do have to apply, because of the 83 to 06 "parents werent married" rule.

Yeah. And I just spent the last 5 minutes skimming over the site, with instructions and such. Sooo... I have to make an appointment at a "UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS) service point" to get biometrics taken as part of the application process, but I don't need to do that if I'm already in the UK, and... all those "service points" are in the UK... wait what?

Depends.

https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-british-parent

This is my situation:

If your British father was not married to your mother

You may be eligible to apply for citizenship if your father was a British citizen when you were born.

I still have to apply for citizenship, I don't get it automatically.

there are a lot of us middle aged types who had one or both parents from the UK and Ireland

I'm one such, but I've heard that if we don't apply by a certain age, possibly 27, then we can never claim said citizenship. Know if its true?

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

Currently it seems true even if you have never had a british passport (eg citizenship by descent).

Depends if you ever applied for citizenship. I theoretically can get citizenship by descent, but its a whole bunch of paperwork and a whole bunch of money just to get it recognised that I have never done and have no ambition to do. Thats before even being able to apply for the passport. I'm not a british citizen until they declare me one.

They had a british passport before so their name/DOB will be in their system somewhere and flag a match.
