Michelle Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Labour really hasn't moved forward from last election where all they could do was attack National. There's just no credible alternative to Phil Goff so we just have a repeat of National fronted Bill English a la 2002. This compulsory opt in of kiwisaver really fucks me off, waste of $550 million when National already totally fucked up kiwisaver anyway. And I'm sure it'll waste our time to go through the opt out process Labour really needs more media attention on their policies than slagging off National or else yeah, they're not going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacticalkat Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Wow, what a game, I thought I was going to vomit it was so tense. So proud to be a Kiwi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The UK coverage was really appalling. Doesn't help Sean Fitzpatrick obviously did the UK coverage after that Telecom campaign where no one in NZ wanted him, he's so annoying. The things they've said about New Zealand and New Zealanders is so embarrassing and I'd hate that people here would think that's what we're like. But congrats! I'm eating vegemite toast to celebrate.

_Ed_ Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 My heart was going like the clappers. That was unbearable! Last 10 minutes felt like an hour. But the crowd was amazing when the final whistle blew. The whole stand was shaking from everyone jumping up and down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshineskitty Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hey guys! Long time no see. How is everyone? As of a few days ago, I'm 22 now haha. Feels weird- I keep forgetting. Anyone here go to Armageddon on the weekend? I was there in cosplay. It was rad. What have you all been up to? (apart from rugby, ew). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 A belated happy birthday! Hope you had a great day. I didn't go to Armageddon, but quite a few of my friends have said it was amazing. I've heard rave reviews about Meat Loaf too! I haven't been up to much. Working full time leads to a pretty uneventful life most of the time! How about yourself?

JoBear Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Where does John Key think these Mum and Dad investors are going to get the money to invest in the public assets the government sells off? Also, if the government doesn't think it's a good enough investment to keep, why should we be buying it? Our tax system is so unbelievably flawed. So many people complaining about the tax they pay when in reality they are in fact, tax negative with working for families. Edit - I just bought a ticket to go see Dave Dobbyn play the night of the election. I can mourn another 3 years of John Key with fellow kiwis who probably didn't even bother to vote anyway.

I saw an actor I wanted to see too, so that was pretty exciting, although I was disappointed in the lack of Supernatural merchandise, because I had been ready to spend up big time Hmm, not too much. Looking for a new flat atm, and I just got back from holiday in Adelaide on the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshineskitty Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Haha, that's fantastic. Love it. How was Adelaide? It was good! Did a bunch of touristy stuff like the museum and shopping, and went to the zoo and the botanic gardens on my birthday which was neat. Also had delicious Mexican at a restaurant right next door to where my mum lives, with margaritas! So yum. Edit: So yum we went there twice, actually haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Sounds awesome! The involvement of margaritas is always a big plus. I have to go to a four-hour team-building thing tomorrow morning. It's such a waste of time. In a company this big, it'll be the first and last time you see most of the people you're put in a group with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It was actually much better than I thought. The people I had to work with were really cool and funny (surprisingly normal, in the case of a couple of famous-ish TV people). And their music selection included Kora and Avalanche City. But then I burnt my tongue on coffee at lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just got back from The Naked And Famous. Their live show was already good, but it's improved massively! They were obviously so happy to be home, so they put on an amazing show. The Town Hall was sold out, and the crowd really got into every song - even the rare ones from the EPs. So awesome. But there was one concerning moment - Thom said "Jon Toogood's here tonight", and I was one of the only ones who cheered. Have Shihad become an old-man band?
