Have you ever watched a film called "The war of the Roses " Danny DeVito plays the role of a lawyer in a divorce . Should be recommended watching for pre-married couples , mainly the man as we do get treated differently by the law . I worked on the principle that Danny espoused and still it was not enough . I spat the dummy 07 , as the lines were clear who supported who amongst my "family" . Keep the fark away from those who cause you trouble as it will drive you bonkers . And you know what , without me to kick around those the other side of the line started kicking the crap out of each other .Always do what is correct no matter what . One of the best tricks is not too fight a battle when the odds are stacked , there are no winners in the family court apart from lawyers .
good money in importing people , quite a few ex ministers of immigration have ended up immigration consultants doing a fair trade . Could get interesting here with Aus no longer the escape valve for people wanting to work . Staying here on low pay and being shafted by the Government no matter what you do might help put a spine into NZ politics . 50 000 migrants expected last year . Makes for trouble sooner or later . Meanwhile Key and co crow about building low cost housing , houses can be counted on one hand , be funny if the subject was not so serious . Any way me out the door , mind how you go Robo . Sorry to hear about A Robo , I thought all the issues were sorted .
Too many late model planes crashing , doubt if a 747 would handle a missile . But I am damn sure its because new planes are built to a cost rather than a standard . There is a difference between mil spec and something built for civilian use . The original 747 was mil spec . Built to take a hiding . The b52 will be 90 years old when retired and how many flying hours is anyone's guess , I doubt if these die by wire plastic crates will be airborne by the time the B52's are parked up .
they came close to having a go a few years back , missiles were being moved which was seen by US , could well have been others , satellites followed by diplomatic intervention had them both put their toys away . Ukraine gave their nukes up and now feeling the loss for it . Mrs Thatcher made a commitment that there would be no trade sanctions if SA gave up their nukes .
We have just been through a general election , those wanting to be re-elected were painting a very rosy picture . A lot of folks bought into the hype much to their current discomfort . The election was timed to be before our biggest dairy company announced this years payout predictions . Those in Government knew full well where the payout was to be heading , so did a lot of peasants who have heard it all before .
Banks have a lot of money tied up in the dairy sector , even with the payout high last year some were not making money as their debt was too high and were gambling on several years of good payout . Pastoral farmers have been incouraged to convert to dairy by the banks and low sheep/ beef cattle prices . Some will loose the farms over the next few years .Chasing rainbows is a favourite sport here .
at least 300 thousand dollars the farm owner will miss out on at least because he never fixed . It will mean the difference between making money and not at about 4 $ a milk solid for most farmers . Contract milking income is about 1.1 to 1.4 $ per kilo . Share milkers , a percentage depending on if they own the herd or milking the owners , lower order milkers (30%) will be doing it hard this year . NZ is in a tailspin because of the payout drop in spite of the glowing words from our leaders .
11 and a quarter to mail box . Cord need to be that long , seriously though , having built one off grid and helped build another , first thing I would do was cut off the grid . 30 cents a kwh for power or close to it in Nz .
To far to transport this type of firewood , 8 k to the nearest road . Not much will be burnt by burning it down as rubbish has to be put inside the tree to make it burn . Little will be wasted as I need a cubic meter each month for the house to heat water .errr have new water supply just over creek with extra so will be able to put out tree once its decked . Only the sap layer is holding now , less than a foot all the way round with sections missing . Dogs are funny to watch when its out (this has been going on a while ,death by a thousand fires)and cold as every little animal goes in and has a look around leaving scent that my dogs love .

one of two trees I am knocking down on account of them having hooked up branches into other trees . Using fire rather than my saw as trees at least 2 meters through and the hooked up branches would nail me . Fire jumped the creek and lit up my firewood , surprising how quick it is to lay new pipe line , connect hose and fight fire .
might give it a fancy name in Aussie , even named a river after them here . Tough bird to knock out of the sky come duckshooting season , just as well as its protected .
Milk is not supposed to be watered down , some have the cream taken out before you get it , others calci plus with added stuff for children and nursing mothers and other health related issues .Its alright having cheap food but a lot of the time the producer is going broke along with his/hers industry and eventually affects the whole country with unemployment .
They are contract milkers , so muck a milk solid rather than a share of the payout . Ken asked the farm owner to contract the price for the farm at 7 $ , he did not , now it's 4.70 and could go lower . Owner breeds race horses might explain not contracting the price . Still , S @ D inlaw have a protected price .
ah , the sun is shinning , the bird is chirping . Some people need to look at the OP's testimonials , you may have hit a little nail on the head chats . Tis the season for giving .
