For some set of " Omnes viae" that's mostly SH-1

actually it seems that a strangely large number of threads lead to Timaru
-
Certainly the one of the bravest things I know of that happened during the tour was the um HART strike team who drove inland from Timaru and turned off the TV repeater/microwave tower during that last Auckland game - we never expected to see them again ..... I believe they survived by seeing the police lights in the distance, turning around and driving back the way they'd come so that when the cops passed them they were going the other way ....

Are they the same ACTA who want to take away our internetz?

Free source of wood ... do tell ... oh the other two houses ...
Seriously though probably the best thing a previous owner did to our extended villa was to bring down the roof in the living space - makes it toasty warm a lot faster

high ceilings are all very well until you have to heat them .... 'Sunny Dalmore' huh - my wife used to live in a house across the road still referred to as just 'Pine Hill' (as in "when we used to live at pine hill")

Get serious about being a high-value exporter of this century's stuff. Not dairy and jobs and land.
really that's it - we need a system that rewards capital gains from investments that grow the economy rather than ones from capital that sits idle for 30 years. That way our kids will have more reasons to stay, or come back.
what with peak oil and all exporting things is going to get harder - I export bits, they're cheaper than sheep to send around the world

we're putting off the con...lib...thingy - turns out if we do it we'll be responsible for them and have to give them all our water ....

I for one think we should return to the traditional values that made this country great and abandon this "Banks Peninsula" nonsense. The discoverer of our nation said it's an island, and that's good enough for me!
a little global warming, a few melted ice sheets and it may well turn out he was right .....
-
Islander - that was kind of my point - he would have declared The North, The South and Banks as our 'triple star'
Now that speights has been bought by Japan perhaps we can give the triple star to Emersons ....
