Yeah, I'm being a dick about a comment saying one of our "greatest actors" has died unexpectedly, and then that person turning out to be someone I've never heard of. But yeah, I have to say I honestly don't care someone I've never heard of has died.

Ghostlight posted:It's implied from the fact that you took that news and instead of going "oh, I'd never heard of her, but that's New Zealand celebrity for you" you then posted it here and instead of just being like "wow, this actor died" you were "this NOBODY is apparently important to someone? NOT ME." Really? that's really weird you read that because what I wrote is "Is this person famous? ive never heard of her, am I out of touch?" In a thread full of New Zealanders, talking about New Zealand topics. How EXACTLY did I suggest I didn't think they were important to someone else but not me? How EXACTLY is it wrong to ask "Who is this? What am I missing?" Where EXACTLY would be better to ask these questions? You are imaging things and making poo poo up. Fake edit: This is why I was wondering who the hell she was: "One of New Zealand's best-known actresses, Sophia Hawthorne, has died." "She was twice nominated for best actress in a TV drama" "Hawthorne comes from a family of prolific Kiwi actors and is the daughter of Elizabeth and Raymond Hawthorne" 504 fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Feb 19, 2016 |

Three cops have been shot in the Bay of plenty in the North Island. http://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/national/reports-police-officers-shot-in-bay-of-plenty/ar-AAgy8p7/?ocid=spartanntp Now we can look forward to every reactive idiot yelling "Arm the police" without doing any thinking at all.

Couple of questions not really in the vein of the thread, but where else can I find a bunch of Kiwis all slumming together. Can anyone in Christchurch suggest somewhere I can get a good pair of shoes for work? Ill be on my feet 12 hours and they have to look half way respectable, I used to wear John Bull boots but they have been out of production a long time. I'm returning to work after being away for a year so price is a thing too. The second question reveals my ignorance.. I'm moving to a house that has NO internet at all, this has never happened to me before.. I roam the net and stream movies, what is the best way to do this? I probably don't use a lot of net compared to the average internet goon but I'm sure watching TV and movies will go thru a chunk. Come to think of it I have a router I can use already, but im not sure if I have a phone connection in the sleepout ill be using. Please educate me so I don't get rodgered by some salesman!

Oh I very much agree! Price is absolutely irrelevant to me when it comes to shoes normally, I managed to wreck two of my ligaments at the same time, but I'm caught in a bad situation where I need all the money I can get my hands on RIGHT NOW!! but am a good three weeks out from getting paid. I'm really trying to avoid borrowing money or jamming it all on my Q card. Got a drat dentist appointment tomorrow as well I have to pay for up front (broken tooth) and I have $400 to my name. Thanks for that link however, it never occurred to me to see if JB made other boots.. So used to wearing my old make.

I guess I cant complain, but why do these easy solutions always come up after I'm done with the worries and have been given decent ideas/advice?

Also my dental bill today was "only" $200 so I still have $200 to live on, also the tooth I broke is very very dead and can drat well wait till ive been working a few weeks before getting jacked out. All in all it could be much worse. Thanks for all the advice and links guys.

Any of you gentlemen familiar with the TV3 show "Story"? I watch everything online and have literally never heard of it before today, the reason I ask is my partner has been approached by them to take part in a story and I'm VERY skeptical and suspicious of TV journalism. She went through an extremely bad time last year and frankly I'm terrified they are going to pull a Paul Homes "questions designed to get her crying for ratings" trick.

Its such a weird mindset, 10k is an actual investment to win the lottery. But the odds are so bad that 10k makes absolutely no difference to your chances. What is the change? 50 billion to one down to 49.9995 billion to one?

Or even limit the number of tickets you can buy (Not that that plan is in any way feasible) Nothing wrong with the odd $10 combo for a bit of fun, but if you're blowing 10k you need to be autobanned, and tested for OCD.
