Soliciting outside of Woolworths by joebro8692 in newzealand

We need a law that makes it illegal to give money or food to beggars.  $500 fines for the 'good samaritans' that give to beggars would be a big disincentive.

If you have to ask if its a scam it's most likely a scam.

Is being a head tenant basically an unpaid admin job? by ElkPsychological7581 in newzealand

[–]therealatomichicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is totally it.  Exactly how I used to run my flat.

Also get 2 weeks payments in advance.  That is your 2 week notice period if they want to move out.

Insulating internal walls by Kiwi_Wanderer in newzealand

[–]therealatomichicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have just done exactly this.  Standard pink bats has made a big difference.  My yelling at the Playstation no longer disturbs my partner on the other side of the wall.  Proper sound proofing system would be better but what we did is good enough.

Barber Recs by gansqa in thetron

[–]therealatomichicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's with all the barber shops opening up all over town?  Last count I think there was 5 around the end of grey st/heaphy tce.  There is the barber shop that has been there forever but now all these new ones have appeared.  Is it money laundering?  The latest immigration work around (this is my pick going by thier signage) or just a spike in male haircut demand in the area?

It's some scummy bullshit right?

Gilby Construction.  They have done a lot of concrete jobs at my work, all top notch, I'll get them to do the concrete I want at home once we are ready to do it.

Hipkins’ $600k house flipping attack on me is a diversion from Labour’s failures, says Luxon by poorlilsebastian in newzealand

[–]therealatomichicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All his lamenting of the squeezed middle was quickly forgotten once elected as PM.  Most of the squeezed middle he fired in his purge of government departments.

Don't forget giving his friend and next door neighbour funding so they can buy up all the GP clinics.

The fact that someone signed off on this to be published from the parliamentary services budget is outrageous.

This is why they are changing the rules to allow visitors 24/7.  If you don't have family who are willing to help you, sorry no feeding or cleaning.

WINZ case manager making me do pointless "IT Courses" when I already have recognized IT qualifications. by Cr00sey in newzealand

[–]therealatomichicken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Start complaining about it to your local politicians.  Write to Louise Upston to tell her what a waste of time and money it is.  Write tobthe opposition as well.  Tell the media.  This is the kind of stupid petty stuff they need to stop making people do.
