  Needs a new name
Posted by: yousnoozeyoulose - 21-10-2021, 03:27 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (16)

Now that we have a Governor General called Cindy, any suggestions for a fun new name to be used when referring to the PM?

How about "the Prime Minister"?

  Get Vaccinated to stop the virus.
Posted by: crafters_corner - 21-10-2021, 01:48 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (3)

It's pretty simple really isn't it??

Why can't people get it through their heads, that to be vaccinated gives you the maximum protection from catching this deadly virus.

I've had both vax's now, and especially now that it is in my town (Te Awamutu), I feel safer.

I would love to see another Super Saturday, mainly for those who had their first jab on the first SS, so in around a couple of weeks, so that people can get their second vax. It was such a success, that I think it's worth it.

  Who will you be voting for? (2021 edition)
Posted by: videomonkey - 21-10-2021, 10:07 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (7)

By request of member "Outsider", here's your 2021 edition "Who will you be voting for?" poll.

Obviously we're a long way from the next election, but it will be interesting to see how alliances have changed during government's pandemic response. 

Remember, keep it friendly. Voting is anonymous  Smile If I've missed out any parties, let me know.

For reference, here are last year's poll results (keeping in mind our sample size is quite small).

Act
15.00%

Green Party
15.00%

Labour
20.00%

National
15.00%

NZ First
5.00%

Other
10.00%

Undecided
20.00%

Like him?
Neutral?
Don't like his methods or his teachings?
Hate him?

Does anyone understand what he's about and what he preaches?

Discuss.

  What are you reading in 2021?
Posted by: Outsider - 20-10-2021, 05:14 PM - Forum: Books - Replies (55)

I'm working through some of the hundreds of books I have and have just finished Brave New World, currently reading Catcher in the Rye. I started reading J D Salinger's other book Franny and Zooey but wasn't as good, so put in the op shop bag for when we're out of level 3.
Cry, the beloved country by Alan Paton is next on the list!

Favourite books recently are 3 by Andy Weir:- The Martian, Artemis, and Project Hail Mary.

Trade Me have today announced that they will be discontinuing their Message Boards as of 15th November. I expect we'll be seeing a bit more interest directed towards this forum as a result. Be nice to the newbees folks Angel
