    Yep, try having to pay an additional part to your rates- "Ruby world cup" rates. (does the rest of N.Z have these added to their rates too?/seriously want to know)

    We get to pay for it yet like fuck I can afford to go. Oh I also get to put up with the congestion and hassle. Yay.

    I seriously believe that the locals who have to pay the extra rates should be entitled to a fairly decent discount on tickets.......(that is if it is only a local extra rates increase for the cup/if not then fairs fair)

    I'm not against the cup being here, it's great for the economy etc, but they should make extra provisions for those being extorted into having to pay for the damn event......we are'nt going to see any profit from it, just suffer the effects of it, put up with raised prices for everything/traffic etcetcetc and unless they make some sort of provision for us I do'nt see any benefits for me. It's a bit shit really.

    Tourists can fuck off if you ask me. They don't improve my life one iota, in fact they are a pain in the arse every summer. They drop their rubbish everywhere, camp wherever they feel like it and even shit all over the place. Then there's the fuckwits in camper vans who are more interested in looking at the scenery than the road, let alone their rear view mirrors!

    Take them for every cent ya can then tell 'em all to fuck off. Pack o' wankers.

    We were so glad to escape Auckland for a number of reasons and the cup bullshit was one of them. Traffic is a joke now, it's gonna be a complete clusterfuck come cup time. Charging extra rates to support private enterprise is extortion, the councils up there are a bunch of bullies who need to be reigned in. If you shot the lot the city would probably run a bunch smoother.

    Joe Public won't see a penny from it but he's the one who has to pay up and be fucked around just getting to work and back so that he CAN pay up.

    "A bit shit." Ya reckon?

    So is it only locals paying extra rates?! (as in not all N.Z)
    And extortion for private enterprise......could'nt agree more, that really shits me actually.

    I wonder what would happen if we decided to send through payment for our water etc rates but ignored the cup levies since i'm probably going to be nothing but inconvenienced by it/not get to go to it....?

    In fact, it's going to cost me even more again using more gas to get anywhere.....

    the thing that makes me giggle (insane chainsaw rage weilding giggle, not flirty schoolgirl giggle) is that concurrent with this BULLSHIT, your gummint is trying to make it so that local authorities can lease out their water to private enterprise for 35 years. So an asset (which needs more investment) is hived off to private enterprise, whose ONLY motive is profit, so they will underinvest in infrastructure and ream the customers silly (yes Veronica, just like Telescum did since we sold it).

    If local gummint does not provide necessary services (water, rubbish coll3ection, taking my turds away) then it HAS no point. Certainly not just so it can get all entrepreunrial and go into business.

    I'd be doing that if I lived up there mate. Somewhere on here (can't be arsed looking for it) I posted a letter a couple/three years ago that I mailed to the ARC. I called them a bunch of extortionate, shiny-arsed cunts who couldn't get a job in the real world if they tried" etc etc. I fully expected a knock on the door for that one but it never came.

    However, I would have no hesitation in sending another if they tried to levy my rates for some dumb-arse rugby bullshit only this time I'd get nasty.

    Another reason to get out of town dude.

    QUOTE]

    Just for you, I did the search.
    Here's my letter.

    Dear Council fuckwits et al…

    I have in front of me your letter dated 4th February 2004, which I might add, you gutless bastards failed to add a name to. In this page of diatribe you threaten to extract the sum of $156.80 from me through extortionate means. Fuck you! The reasons, and there are many, that I haven’t paid you are headed by the fact that the train set you pricks are requiring my hard earned cash to subsidize doesn’t even come close to my back yard. What a crock of fucking shit!

    I don’t use public transport, it’s a giant fuckup in this town, why should I pay for it? I am sick and tired of paying for parks/reserves I don’t use, I hate ball sports and all the wankers associated with them. I can’t swim in the polluted waters of the beaches so why the fuck should I pay for reserves (such as Long Bay) that back on to such beaches?

    I have to pay extra for my garbage disposal and then Auckland City dumps its garbage on our fucking land! What do I get for my money? Jack fucking shit, that’s what! You’re all a bunch of fat, shiny-arsed losers who couldn’t get a real job if you tried.

    “My urgent attention….” Get fucked! I was in the South Island when this load of shit (loosely described as a rates account) arrived in my letterbox so how the fuck was I supposed to give it my ‘urgent attention’? Whatever happened to the fucking telephone? You all need to get rather large dogs up yourselves. I’ll attend to such usury in my own good time. “Support Team…” indeed, support this ya queer cunts ->.

    Yes my cheque is enclosed, I have no choice, but even microbrains like you fucks can probably tell, I’m paying it under duress. This is pressure unheard of in the modern world and Democracy is a crock in New Zealand, it doesn’t exist. The sooner you fuckwits are dispersed the better.

    Fuck you all, big time.

    And make sure you all read this too because I stand by every word. Pass it round the office, have a good laugh, you got your cheque you cunts.

    Your, honest, hard working, obedient servant (without a train set).


    Not fucking happy.

    Must spread rep etc. You're quite right.

    As I say, I expected a knock on the door, if not the head. However, it probably went straight in the shredder and I know my cheque went straight to their bank. Cocksuckers. Hey, I don't mind paying for a bit of green space and ya gotta have some infrastructure etc, but when you see (and I've seen) the amount of time and money wasted by councils (not to mention the lies they tell) it infuriates me that they get away with upping the rates every year and things seem to get worse not better. Then each mayor wants an expensive piece of art, a new park named after him/her etc, it just goes on.
