The suspected Russian spy was found dead in Norwegian waters. Hvaldimir was apparently very interested in humans....& has died suddenly.

Well, that's it then; the Russians took him out lest he defected...

I know quite a bit about this from reading in the past,

Richard Feynman was the scientist who exposed why the design was completely wrong and that the O rings should have been compressed and compress further not expand into the space as it opened up at launch, the rings got progressively harder the colder they got hence the shuttle failure.

To keep Maori seats.... Well done them, nice little smack in the eye for this disgraceful govt.

They've badly underestimated the strength of feeling on this issue. More than half of the 45 district, city & regional counclils have voted in the past month with all but two choosing to retain Maori seats for the 2025 election.

Disabled toddlers therapy unfunded after govt changes. His medication is over $500 a month so they're now having to fundraise.

This govt. just don't seem to have understood the reality of the changes they're making; for some it will mean life or death, including this child. Or is it that they understand only too well but just do not care?

The length of the fissure has expanded to 3.9 kilometres. This is the same volcano which has erupted 6 times since December.

And has met with opposition thankfully. What arrogance, attempting to decide what any regional council can or can't do when it comes to representation. They said that the current arrangement is working well & surely that's what matters rather than the fact that his nibs & his fellow politicians are anti Maori.

Apparently he's 'disappointed' about this & is 'working through options.'  Not keen on taking NO for an answer.


If this govt continues down this road I suspect they're in for one hell of a fight from various councils around the country; I think they've badly underestimated the reaction.

I bought on TM using PING on the 13th. Paid postage on the 17th and have been waiting since. I asked for tracking but no reply. The seller last logged on 17 JUNE. How can someone place a listing without logging in?

The listing says, "from a pet free home". His account has a photo of a B/W cat....


Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby Wah-Pedal | Trade Me Marketplace

The 9th photo in the listing has a sticker price $219 on the box, which is an overseas price. The RockShop AKL price is NZ$299. It appears the pics are lifted from the net.

I have placed dispute Res with TM to try get my money back

Has anyone had experience with getting a PING refund. Will this take forever and what to expect?
any advice, thanks Amy
