  1. I saw no recycling whatsoever...only a sign about dumping where the recycling bins were and a pile of rubbish There was noone there when we went in.
  2. I wish drivers would care about the gear they were driving......the longer it lasts, the more I can pay them.....
  3. Hi sorry for that, not sure what happened but there is the pic, now sideways....
  4. Feel free to ring this servant of the community... We turned up and went and bought a bag, put out black bag in it and added to the pile. There was this big flash sign and then a huge pile of rubbish dumped where the recycling bins were. I had to laugh at the $400 fine if you dump rubbish sign where the bins used to be. I sat there and ate my burger whilst the pile got bigger and bigger, half the folk coming in were not boaties but locals, some by car and they were not happy Every local I spoke to was seething at the fact a pencil pushing idiot in a windowless room back in the city had
  5. I was about to say that engine is pretty damn new.... but 12 years, Jesus where did that time go??
  6. Try Akarana, I think they may have a few rotting somewhere
  7. We were one of those boats. We sailed no further in than we have in the last 20 years. We werent even hugging the wall at all as we were in a tacking duel with another boat. We tacked JUST inside Princess wharf where you enter the Viaduct after crossing from Stanely Point. A committee boat came near us and gave us a thumbs down but we couldnt hear what they were saying and only found out the next day we were under protest. Protest was withdrawn.

  10. Pretty sure store has gone, the gas pumps def have... or are on Caltex card only or similar
  11. Agree on the costings, it will be way more than that. Other options are Manukau at around 6b Kaiaua at around 6b but another 6b in roading
  12. That report was stacked with NorthPort hacks, cronies and people who stand to make bucket loads of cash. It was never not going to recommend anything other than moving North. It is a complete waste of time and money when the result was a foregone conclusion. If it moves great, I can retire, but this decision is political and is devoid an any economic reasoning and commonsense. Im not quite sure how it all fits in with labours hatred of the holiday highway, as the two are barometrically opposed. This is politics at its absolute worst, actually the longer I take to type type, th

  17. Yea they sure loved taping PCs keel and rudder, often under genny usually at night youd feel the mast shake as they nugdged it
  18. A family member who lives on the island told me that the council is making Great Barrier '0 rubbish', which means there will be no rubbish barge this summer, nor any bottle collection facilities. The locals have complained saying boaties will dump their rubbish, so they are looking at possibly a 1 morning a week collection service at Fitzroy....maybe. They are starting to organise the school kids to begin cleaning the beaches late Jan if this happens. I pointed out boaties are pretty good, she raised one eye brow and said Id be amazed at how much rubbish gets dumped up in the bu
  19. And a really pissed off wife from memory....
  20. Results of leg vs lifelines...
  21. Only the top story will be for public space, which kind if defeats the whole purpose of building it..but the other 4 will be for cars...and since they already have the bottom story, they are gaining very little given one needs sorting areas next to the building. "Its political" is the best reply Ive had from people who are more in the know
  22. Plus about another twenty reasons this is horseshit
