  South Island Case
Posted by: king1 - 24-10-2021, 09:56 AM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (4)

Why is it the South Island folks need a kick up the backside or wake-up call - surely it is those that travel here from the North Island that need one...   

I mean seriously, he developed a sore throat in the time it took to travel from Rotorua to Blenheim?  I think the only thing that developed was his conscience... 

or am I being too harsh?

Information Name change for TMMB, give us your suggestions!
Posted by: nzoomed - 24-10-2021, 09:18 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (50)

Greetings to all new members, we are looking at alternative names and a bit of an upgrade.

Currently we have "too many message boards" as the name, but are welcome to community suggestions.

Please share below what acronym you would like and we will go to a community poll!

One suggestion I will start off is with "Talk more message boards"

Try and get creative, and we will go with whatever choice goes with the most votes. We will then ask members to submit a logo to vote on Smile

Something a little different, a bit esoteric in places, and quite a lot of revealing the answers in my case...

Is anyone else having trouble getting into TM...well, to the messageboards.

I'm having heart failure, and thinking 'you b*st*rds', that they have shut them down early.

  Lagging behind
Posted by: yousnoozeyoulose - 22-10-2021, 01:39 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (7)

Couching my words carefully, why does a certain ethnicity lag behind? What's the root cause?

As a team of 5 million, we've all had oodles of chances to be vaccinated. Given that the Māori over 50's are comparable with the rest of the population, that would suggest that access isn't the problem, so its the mindset of the "youngsters" at fault. Is social media behind it, like most things these days? 

There's been a lot of moaning from the likes of the Māori Party, but I'm not sure what they want to happen exactly. There's no magic bullet. A lot of the vaccine advertising on TV has been aimed at Māori and Pacific, so they're obviously not watching it. Maybe Ash needs to do some TikToks.

First dose %s
=========
Asian 95%+
European 87%
Pacific 82%
M─üori 68%

  How many devices do you have?

Just thought I'd start a poll to see what sort of devices everyone has! 

Personally I own two desktop computers (one for gaming, one for video editing), a laptop, and a smartphone. Yes, you guessed it, I'm a millennial Smile

  Waikato in Level 3 until at least the 27th
Posted by: videomonkey - 21-10-2021, 09:59 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (6)

Most of the Waikato is in Level 3 until at least the 27th.

I didn't think they'd let us out before the long weekend, which makes sense I guess.

How's everyone coping in the Waikato at the moment? Aucklanders are doing it tough for sure, but the Waikato is heading into its 4th week of level 3 during the current outbreak so a lot of lives are no doubt being affected here too. 

Hope everyone in Te Awamutu is doing ok! Gets a bit scary when the virus is close to home.

I'm Hamilton based and I'm lucky that I can do my job within the level 3 rules, but it's a tough situation to navigate at times. Really hoping we see some sort of normality in the next month or two.

  Needs a new name

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"?
