My guess is like a decade ago they bought a little above their budget and now the property market is so overheated it's boiling a developer wanted their land.

I am a mouth, and I must scream

I once had landlords who gave us beer for Easter, they were cool. Also one who shouted us all pizza when the hot water stopped working. There are a few cool ones. Property managers on the other hand can gently caress off and die.

Nope, they bought a place, got it revalued then borrowed against the new equity. Then they did it 4 more times.

This is what he's been doing? I mean, rehashing old material's the only way he gets work at this point - but who hasn't done WW1 to death around here? Talk about market oversaturation.

This would be monstrously terrible if true and would confirm my total distrust of politicians regardless of ideology.

Not as many people were interested in the further glorification of war as an element of the government predicted. What a shock.

Have you ever actually been to the museum? I'd hardly call it glorification, they do a pretty good job of making it seem like the most monstrous thing there is while keeping it pg.

The other is up at the war memorial. I think it was meant to change around a lot (seasonally?). Went once with the in-laws so I didn't pay, never felt the need to go back.

My mate lives in south auckland and he and his family were kept up by literal mobs of Tongon people for 2 weeks straight.

He called the cops, and noise control, but realistically, unless we are wanting a US-Police style anti riot smack down all the cops can do is let these people chill out and drink themselves to sleep.

I hate to think about the number of drink drivers roaming around, as there was no way to police the situation.

He couldn't go out and ask them to be quiet as he'd get his loving head caved in with a big stick (with Tongan flag attached, no doubt)

Oh but poo poo he's Pakeha so he's not allowed to complain lest he be outed on social media as a racist and loses his job, sorry, please pretend I said nothing.

This is probably dumb as hell cause I don’t really read stuff or whatever but what are the Tongans celebrating? As of last night they were still at it next to my place. I don’t really mind much but it does make street parking kind of a bitch.

Tonga nearly beat England in the Rugby League World Cup final. They had a try that would've won the game disallowed right at the end in a kinda contentious decision
