The headlines are the same. Sport is right up there along with serious concern over disconnected politicians particularly as they scramble to understand Brexit.
Still not understood. Brexit according to the locals was about EU imposed law ( we will not have them telling us what to do) and immigration. We have too many immigrants already that are creating a housing crisis. Homeless people are apparently at crisis level and yet the immigration continues.
Same thing in NZ.
Then the Council selling assets to pay their staff. Ratepayers are at the end of tolerance so in order to get my wage increase superannuation paid leave etcetera the answer is simple glogboff what they paid for. Nothing new there. Aucklands boating community is paying to use assets they paid for and morally own. Not the Maori.
And on and on it goes. The obscenity of what we call resource consents instead read exploitation for reward for council incompetence exists here also.
A mate I know wants to build a barn. Unbelievable that a council could consider it was their obligation to charge a ratepayer to do something on his land which was totally consistent with surrounding land use. The excuse it is a little taller than "we would like".....
Let's not mention the BBC. It is amusing to me that overpaid male TV presenters should be the excuse that women presenters should also be overpaid.
Elitism is rampant. The pigs are in control. Too many heads in the trough.
No one gives a hoot what I think but I saw Brexit and I saw Trump so I am a smart arse, actually no I am unusual in that I listen.
I hear the world is falling apart and I interpret inadequate politicians. Greed. Self interest. In the face of expanding social issues with no solution other then keep them away from my place !
But it is raining. I am trying to walk off Airline Flu, still after 14 days and since this is about biking now hear this.
I had my bike serviced by the BMW agent. Oh dear they said we have to replace the tyres "getting worn" and the battery "getting on", and we did a full service and test drive.
Interesting that the BMW agent sent the bike back with a warning light showing on my first start up.
I rode it back and the service person took it away from my ability to observe to return and say terminal problem with brake servo. It will still work but will cost £1500 to replace.
They were the last to run it and yet it was not evident.
What am I saying ? I believe commercial immorality is endemic. We are here to get your money the best way we can. Maybe the servo is not the problem ? Maybe meeting the sales budget is the problem.
Just like being at home !
People with "luxury" items bikes boats and flash cars are targets. How about land owners that want to develop their land, no difference.
Insurance is another confusing case. Only residents can buy vehicle insurance in the UK and only for a year not less. I do not understand that strategy. So a non resident can not technically own and use a vehicle ! I would like that to be implemented in NZ. Get rid of the freedom campers. Make them hire a van.
Yet in NZ there is a charge on all vehicle owners that relates to nothing. It is called ACC levies but if you are unlucky enough to need cover as result of an accident (not just a vehicle accident) hard luck if you are over 50. So what's the game in my view it's all ways undue enrichment. In the UK, the probably same answer but can't work out how?
So the weather is bad. Wet and wetter. Autumn has come half way through summer.
