In my blogg I commented: ACC is but a thorn in the side of progress. Of itself, philosophically it is a nappy, in the real world it is a crutch. There are better ways of providing compensation, it is up to the people of the day, not yesterday, to create a system. How that is done is a task entrusted to many governments of the day over many years. Am I correct in saying GST was introduced after ACC? So since the introduction of GST governments ...
Ann & I ended up leading Brownie, in between two groups and sat around 110’ish. We passed the first group as they were checking their ride sheet, probably around Tapuiwahine, then they slotted in behind us as well. We hit some quite wicked roadworks and I was looking to the right side of the road for the cluster of signs that would indicate Aria, when we whistled past Ramaroa Rd. They must have removed the signs whilst doing the roadworks, so we swung around and I sent the others on as I marked ...
The Muscular Dystrophy Ride is one of the ‘not-to-be-missed’ annual rides and I’ve just completed my 5th. This year, to assist Ron to organise the event, I prepared profiles on the kids as well as a ride plan with maps, noting the visit and regroup points. Also the funds raised on the Capital 1000K Ride helped to buy better presents, so come Friday, we were ready to embark on our adventure. At one stage we were looking at having 20 riders but as things transpired, there ...
Winter in Wanaka. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/al...ictureid=35709 As I have mentioned, I was given an opportunity to speak in Wanaka at a week long veterinary educational conference which meant a nearly all expense paid week in Wanaka including skiing. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/al...ictureid=35713 http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/al...ictureid=35761 I gave 7.5 hours of lecture ...
Well, last appt. with the specialist today. Bone still confirmed as non-union so surgery going ahead on Wed. 9th. A little apprehensive about it, but must keep the long term objective in mind! I'll be getting another steroid injection at the same time so I'm glad i'll be dosed up on pain killers already. Next entry will be after the op......think kind thoughts for me please!!!
You have a magic wand. Tomorrow morning there is no ACC The Work Account has been privatised. The remaining accident cover ‘no fault scheme’ eg motorcyclist injuries, football/rugby injuries, cyclist injuries etc etc is held in abeyance for 5 years while a joint parliamentary committee is convened and a strategy put forward to replace ACC within three years and reviewed after a further two years. At present ACC in its very basic format ...
Well it was my first time over the hill (Rimutaka Hill Road) today and the foam on my seat has formed a new shape lol. Took my time like a nanna but the most important thing was for me to stay upright. Seriously though what a great ride over to Martinbourgh with a great bunch of people. A beautiful day and by the time I got to Toppys I had to remove the liner from my pants and jackets. Saw a few zip cars () on the way and deployed the circling finger above the ...
