Highway Patrol TV 1

[Voltaire]

Is this a comedy show?

I caught the last few minutes waiting for " The Silk Road " which would be a good bike trip.

Why are the Police so nice to idiots who have no rego,wof or licence?

The message they are sending out is that why bother with all that compliance kafuffle when you only get a $400.00 fine.

There was one plonker that had a POS van on SH1 that had not been legal for 10 years and the driver had no licence.

All very amusing..... slapped a pink sticker on the window and told him to get it sorted.:facepalm:

Cop made some comment about old vehicles....I think he meant to say old neglected vehicles driven by complete morons.

I can't believe that anyone watches that Police PR Propaganda bullshit. Frankly I can't believe that, in 2017, people are still watching broadcast television.

That's probably because you're a self-centred twat.

I can't believe people buy Taylor Swift music,watch the kardashians go to malls on weekends but apparently they do.

Is that like... a..... desktop computer? Mike won't believe that either.

Recently downsized our house - TV (Too big!) is out in the shed waiting to go to the dump - seriously considering never replacing it! :oi-grr: habit forming bullshit!

[caspernz]

Makes you wonder where the benefit is in being a law abiding citizen aye? Oh well, it's how I was raised...and therein lies the problem for those who flout the system I suppose :innocent::shutup:

[HenryDorsetCase]

that might be true, but the point about broadcast TV remains.

I watched some for the first time in ages last night: THE ORVILLE on Duke.

I fucking hate Seth McFarlane it turns out.

I don't bother usually as I can only take so many adds and the awful American need to do a total recap as your probably forgot what they were on about during the add break.

The Silk Road is interesting as was the Guy Martin China one on Choice, but the add/interest ratio waned for the one on the Thames.

Bored with Netflix as its movies are so old and I can't be arsed with Dragons and Tits crap.

BBC was good until they shut down Global Mode :(

[TheDemonLord]

d and I can't be arsed with Dragons and Tits crap.

Few things in life are better than Dragons and Tits.

I do wonder why the police are not tougher on some stuff...

But then you'd probably find every whiny, sniffly little finger-pointing twit would be screeching from their soapbox about police brutality... and "life's not fair!"

Perhaps we should introduce them to police overseas...

[Banditbandit]

I can't believe that people are stupid enough to pay for any version of the propaganda machine of the ruling elite!

Sucked in mate - propagandized and paying for it.

I got held hostage by some re-runs over the Christmas season once. These days we have more options. One of those programmes showed a guy who had been caught in a shit box with no warrant or rego. (Of course - if there isn't a warrant there can't be rego.) after the transaction was completed the driver spoke to the camera as he walked away saying something like, I chose the wrong road home. No, that's not the problem, the problem was lack of a warrant. To be a bit realistic, a lot of the customers on the show look to be beneficiaries and the benefit probably doesn't cover many hours in a workshop at current rates? :whistle:

[Grumph]

If I couldn't do most of my own servicing, I doubt I could run a car. And that's on the pension which is a bit more than the benefit...

And then there's the gouging bloody WOF specialists whose job appears to be to generate work for their own workshops....

Stardust will sort all that out, Labour voters who expect other people to sort out their problems ( sweeping generalisation but hey I'm channeling the soon to be unemployed TV presenter Mike Hoskings:lol:)

I see we're on the list to get highspeed broadband out here - a simple cellphone signal would be nice and should be a higher priority....

[oldrider]

Can't you get "high speed wireless" broad band and land line where you are? - or have you been down that road already? :confused:

[T.W.R]

I see we're on the list to get highspeed broadband out here - a simple cellphone signal would be nice and should be a higher priority....

:lol: cellphone signal depends on which way the wind is blowing here, literally! And when EA networks plumbed the power under ground here they put in fibre cable at the same time to each house and now all the internet providers deny that it's there :scratch:

[Madness]

That's partly correct. It's high speed compared to the postal service.

Akzle was on TV and I missed it? Bugger

[Maha]

Yes but it was the Purina Sheep Dog Trials on Duke not the Cop show in question.

[oldrider]

That's partly correct. It's high speed compared to the postal service.

True! - When I think it's slow it sure must be but it got me computer/phone access without any need for digging or wiring at a difficult time so OK by me. :yes:

It's not cheap though. :no:

When we moved here my partner stopped playing internet games. She downloads movies to her iPad as streaming is no good here even on a good day. My company pays for our rural broadband so I don't complain much, I can still give people shit on the internet so I'm happy.

[Akzle]

fuck yeah! enforce obedience! blind conformity! no citizen should ever infringe legislation!

We're in a dead spot for cellphone and internet signal. Satellite is an option - but on the pension ?

When the local school had fibre optic laid to it as part of the "get schools on line" thing, cable was laid past our gate.
The foreman of the gang laying it was the mad pom (see sidecar record attempt...)
Despite my best efforts at coercion and bribery, I couldn't get a buckshee connection done....

Jump on a plane and go to Raqqa for a taste of that, you might event get draggin' tits.

Winz can probably forward your payments.

Aye, I see she's going to bung NZ radio on TVNZ, so they'll need Mike's bandwidth. :sweatdrop

How does that work anyway? I mean what do we get to not look at while we're not listening to 2ZB?

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do a little bit of paying work, (y'know, just to pay for the odd luxury like a WOF or rego, or dog forbid a pint) without them taking 70% of your pension away?

[T.W.R]

Same here, pretty much a dead spot too. I wasn't joking with the depends on which way the wind is blowing, South/Souwester/Norwester/Easterly...forget any cell coverage even TV coverage will drop to under 60% signal and start to lag :yes: piss poor for the location and actually being the highest point on the southern railway (133m above sea level).

I've got as per every household in the township a nice wee orange cable sticking out of the ground beside the power cable at the house foundation, the crew that put it all in said at the time they didn't know who or when it would be put into use but there was a shitload of politics happening behind the scenes :blink:
When I went from dial-up to VDSL B/B just a short time ago I asked most of the suppliers about the fibre and most suppliers just said it wasn't available in the area, there were sounds of bemusement on the phone when I said that it'd be plumbed to the township almost a year earlier :facepalm:
Rural B/B & farm satellite are a total rip-off for residential use plus it can be as sketchy as the cell coverage around here :pinch:

Ha is that were Garrett ended up :shutup: he doesn't like being told he fucked up with choice of roads for record attempts :laugh::innocent:

That came as news. I was under the impression it was not means tested...clearly not that simple.

Probably worth getting divorced and getting two single ones.


We can help you work out whether it is to your financial advantage to include your partner or not.

If your spouse or partner is included in your payments, you can earn up to $100 (before tax) a week between you, before your New Zealand Superannuation is affected.
If you earn more than $100 (before tax) a week your payments are reduced by 70 cents for every dollar of income over $100 (before tax).

For more information on including a spouse or partner in your New Zealand Superannuation, please contact the New Zealand Superannuation contact centre.

Yeah, "helping you", that's what they're doing. :laugh:

Oh it's not "means tested", 'cause it's not a "tax", exactly. :facepalm:

And it shouldn't have come as any surprise, when you earned your first dollar they took some of it, yes?

If you're like me you probably figured: "fair enough, but I want that new bike, I'll just do some overtime."

And what happened to your extra earnings?

So, fuckit, you can get a second job, right? :laugh:

And then they started taxing you on what you spend.

OK, you can spend less... guess you don't have much choice eh?

And then they began to deny you access to the stuff your tax paid for, 'cause your family didn't NEED any special support.

If you're still working hard at this point you're a fucking slow learner.

Because if you've got your eye on the the finish line, now, where you finally get to put your feet up for a bit then guess what? :laugh:

And if you think you've worked hard enough that you don't need their stinkin' pension, 'cause you've got your own sorted then what do you suppose happens next?

Aaaaand, if you think you'll just dial back the work a little bit, so the pension will stretch out a bit further.... you getting the message yet?

As far as I can tell the only reasonable response is to take your hard earned dollars to spend them where they're wanted, 'cause hard workers are certainly not fucking wanted around this neck of the woods.

Peoples reaction after getting nabbed ... and of the sheer stupidity and audacity of others ... you can't help but laugh.

[Voltaire]

Malaysia's incentives seem good.

I like Asia, the craziness of it although Malaysia is more developed than Thailand or Vietnam.....they even have a rail link to the

main airport in KL, something National say is years away here.

I'd be happy touring around on my early 90s BMW GS or Scootering around SEA in my retirement. Bit hot in the Summer....

I average less than $100pw - it's occupational therapy mainly. Don't have the stamina now for much more.







Ha is that were Garrett ended up :shutup: he doesn't like being told he fucked up with choice of roads for record attempts :laugh::innocent:

He was with Underground Brown for a while - last seen managing one of the long term parking setups at the airport.
There's a lot about that attempt that was done wrong IMO.

:rolleyes: oooh what a come down :laugh:

From what I saw of the whole lot wasn't the flashest, it was all secret squirrel here when he approached the so-called community group about doing the run. Unfortunately for him the local cockies knew naff all about that sort of thing and allowed him to go ahead and use probably the roughest road in the area :facepalm: I rang him a week prior and told him the road was like a corrugated roof at speed and in response he reckoned the council were doing some repairs for the attempt :laugh: probably cost quite few km/h in speed.
If they'd gone one block over the road is billiard table smooth and not running up/down hill and funnily enough where the car club do their speed runs and where certain other machines get to stretch their legs :rolleyes:

Lemmey guess, the Coast Guard being called out to ill prepared people on non seaworthy vessels?

Surely all these programs use actors......

me this licence with someone elses picture on it"

Aye, that's what happens when you remove the parasites from the equation, you get far better value for your money. Amazing eh? :rolleyes:

Yeah. Who knows, if they weren't so busy redistributing all that tax there might be some left over to actually build shit everyone benefits from.

Think the trick is to spend 26 weeks a year in SEA, maybe based out of George Town where most of the ex pat retirees seem to lurk, then spend NZ summer here annoying the kids and kidnapping grandkids for extended holidays up/down country in a camper. With no kids here I'm not sure why you'd bother coming back, any investments you have here mean your pension is down to peanuts, they might as well take the lot and be done with it.

And it's all summer. Some bits of it are just a bit wetter than other bits.

[Ocean1]

I average less than $100pw - it's occupational therapy mainly. Don't have the stamina now for much more.

In which case I'm surprised you haven't had a letter from ACC telling you they're not paying for therapy 'cause it was all a pre-existing/age related problem. :laugh:

Aside from the 5 generations I know of with the same problem, I blame the onset of my heart condition on a piss-poor Lucas racing mag on my 500 manx.
And the required bump-starts for races in those days - so MNZ has part of the blame too.

[Ocean1]

Lucas

Yeah that'll be the problem.

Can't go too far wrong blaming Joe for absolutely anything not working right. :yes:
