It may just be me, but there are far too many fancy places down there. Which is kinda sad as everyone thinks its aucklanders that drink that frothy coffee.
Anywho back on topic (which was???)
No - you can't save the world.

I've always found the use of the word "quaffing" to be rather pretentious. And its hard to be pretentious if you misuse it too.
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

The $$ does go back into the community...
I've been overseas 6+ times fully funded by grants/trusts from pokies.

The only time I've been in Sky City (didn't spend anything, I did math at school) I didn't see one person smiling, not one.
Am I my brothers keeper? Well that argument could go on all night, but the computer stays at work so I will be off home in an hour to play with my bike (Come down for a beer/gander if you are about Jim).
I didn't want to ponder too much on the manufacturing thing but there was also a M10 add in this paper. Ohh tools and cheap things! Yes this gets me that there are lots of cool things to buy. But are we be better off having to save up for the decent Stanley woodplane rather that the two $20 ones I have that went blunt 2/3 of the way through each job (I didn't expect to have to use them again).
Either way underground gambling never manages to come anywhere near to mainstream for harvesting large amounts of money. New figures (from new recording measures) are showing that despite the smoking laws gambling take hasn't fallen after all as claimed by gambling pedlars.
Don't you look at my accountant.

So that was All the money was it? or just a tiny fraction after several hands extracted their profit & running costs?

Yeah. That's what my uncle told me when he caught me on Vivian St when I were a nipper.'If you are not prepared to lose it, dont stick it in!!'.... If you get lucky, good for you... if not... and it was ya last $20... then it was a stupid idea to put it in wasnt it
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
One hell of a ride.

I was 'quaffing' my can of V at the Tasti which is akin to a foodcourt. Merely poking fun at myself. Many years ago we all would have brought lunch to work every day. V is a silly drink when you think of it, but I like it. Just all part of the consumer lifestyle that we are so used to now.

Forum whore
NZ sportsmen don't represent anyone except themselves.
I'm not that happy with the thought that someone lost their house/kids/car/freedom to fund those trips either.
I have turned a lotteries grant down and had to give up a "dream" so to speak.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Lil I'm not trying to rag on you but people are being bought off with the "gives money back to the community" lark. Its only a small percentage and it would be far better that this money wasn't coming from the part of the community that needs it.
It would have been far more palatable that the government supported said sports groups with our tax and didn't let the gambling moguls take the extra money out in the first place.

I like bikes
Sadly, I feel a slight correction is needed to this. This wasnt the kiwi way once.
Thats what progress, and free trade and the throwing off of oppresion has done for us

I agree... my point was that @ least some does go back even if it is only 1% of whats thrown away in machines.
The goobberment do use our tax $ for some dont they?? Rugby/cricket/netball/yachting etc?... They forget/ignore/dont care about the minorities as it is.(unless of couse you take a gold at the olympics etc... then *bingo* plenty of recognition & funding)
