  2. for the last couple of coastals, crew have been told to get the berth owners to register the crew number plates with the westhaven office, they aren't interested in talking with crew about this a couple of years ago the berth holder's son was either a late addition to the crew, or brought a different car, and came back monday 1am? to find his car had been towed
  3. if panuku want their bonuses they've got to squeeze someone https://www.panuku.co.nz/about/our-people Roger Macdonald was recently in the news over an $80,000 increase in his salary and the introduction of an executive bonus scheme which paid out $451,000 to 38 agency staff, https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/117082902/panuku-ceo-roger-macdonald-resigns-after-mysterious-leave actually council seemed to have stopped the bonuses guessing they want to keep that money for themselves/us? and not that they want to stop milking berth holders https://www.nzherald.

    Whoops!

    Based on the rising public debate last week, I expect we'll see an announcement about special entry for America's Cup teams next up......in july for aug? The transtasman travel bubble has also been in the spotlight, and announcements about plans and progress will build over the coming weeks......in july for aug? Next up we can expect to see the Government talk more openly about plans for allowing foreign students back for the start of the 2021 academic year.......in nov for jan? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12337391
  6. i told my ex i still "followed" her she reported me for "stalking" .... eeek, just checked i also have a "follower"....... R but not any longer clicked on my name to the left then below that where it says followers, selected options then "don't allow others to follow me" so now the 'system' will no longer be reporting on my actions
  7. "a male with certain multi interpretations like thick." vogon poetry! https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Vogon_poetry but not sure i can accept your apology it needs to be addressed to all crew users
  8. trying to crack the code https://media3.giphy.com/media/h36vh423PiV9K/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e472121c8ebd24456c4861f1329949433dcb6bba8f4&rid=giphy.gif
  9. fair enough would love to see some good webcams on bean rock maybe vodafone could be allowed to paint bean-rock red+white with VODAFONE red on the white background and white on the red background i'm sure there'd be screams, but you'd only see the name from the water, from land it would simply be coloured the same as rangitoto lighthouse
  10. i'm sure public transport rates will rise again once covid distancing is a thing of the past
  11. somebody ask them then what auckland's budget will be for tourism webcams? then compare it to the budget for buslane cams Auckland Transport (AT) collected more than $11 million in fines in the last year and the AA says the system needs an overhaul. But AT is instead planning to install even more cameras. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/04/auckland-transport-collecting-an-extra-4m-in-bus-lane-fines-per-year.html The 16 cameras currently in operation are on Fanshawe St, Queen St, Hobson St and Khyber Pass Rd. AT plans to install a further six C
  12. like the moorings probably part of auckland transport and all their 'camera money' is spent on cashing in on revenue gathering victimless crime to pay for trains and buses people no longer want to use

  14. if they go after the nelson trampers for breaking level 3 lockdown and needing $100,000s to extract them which they probably should... they should also somehow force a coastguard membership in this guy
  15. A teenager had to be rescued by Coastguard after trying to cross the notorious Cook Strait last night in a dinghy. Police say the 18-year-old set off from Kenepuru Sound about 10pm last night and went through the Pelorous Sounds in a motored dinghy before crossing the Cook Strait. About 9am today the teen contacted the Harbour Master alerting that he had broken down off the Mana Coast, but was unsure of his location. Police were able to geo-locate him from his cell phone and found that he was about 12km west of Mana Island. A Westpac helicopter attended and directed Police to hi

  18. World series regattas in Italy and England have already been cancelled because of the pandemic.

  21. meanwhile pressure by hunters appears to have paid off Last week the ban was described as an "error" by the Robertson, as the Government came under pressure to allow the activity. Hunting had been deemed risky and was banned under the lockdown, and according to Government advice issued last week, the outdoor activity would remain banned.But the Government reconsidered. On Thursday, Robertson said Cabinet had agreed hunting on private land would be allowed under Alert Level 3, so long as hunters stayed within their region and stuck to their bubble. Last week the ban was desc
  22. you'd imagine they look at the call out figures and a fair few have involved; idiot fishermen, tourists in kayaks, motorboats running out of fuel, and yachts hitting the ground or breaking something.... if it was winter, skiing would be out
  23. and here they say kayaking is out under level 3 Kayaking, like most other water-based activities, is not permitted at alert level 3 or 4 because there is an increased risk of COVID-19 being spread if participants require search and rescue services. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/04/i-ve-been-a-dick-dr-lance-o-sullivan-admits-coronavirus-lockdown-breach-hypocrisy.html which doesn't appear to match some other sources...
