Sleazy, older, married men. Where are the young, attractive, available guys?!

Oh hi

According to your profile you are 75 and in Antarctica.  This makes you both older and unavailable.  I can (for obvious reasons) not comment on the attractive requirement.

I was reading the comments underneath a Stuff article this morning. They were quite good. Asking some testing question of the WHY the article was even written. Went back to the article ten mins ago and all the comments are gone.

I dislike how they pick and choose which articles can be commented on. Either have comments on all articles, or none, just don't censor comments by not allowing them on certain articles.

While the police may not have been correct in this case, it is hard not to support their actions.  Wheel clampers are lower than city council officers.

Good on all the passersby too.

I totally agree, especially when someone posts an opinion piece. Sometimes my comments don't even get put on there.

They do pay attention. Just keep commenting. Have a look at this link - https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/comment/blogs/the-inside-story/6886533/Its-getting-crowded-in-here para 1 refers to me.

The nature of some of the comments is also fascinating. The vitriol that pours of out of some keyboards is "interesting". How do manage/moderate?

So are you p!ssed off because there is no reason to worry about the kid being at play group, or are you p!ssed off that he is being denied time with his playmates and being castigated for something that is not of his own doing and is easily managed with seemingly low risk to others?

Google

Used to be straight forward and reliable.Dependable. Everyone used it because it did what you wanted.

Now. Its BIG and its getting bossy.

Take Google Search.Lately when I type in something, half the time it presents its own options or reverts back to previous options instead of what I've typed in the box!! Mind of it's bloody own!

Fran O'Sullivan from the NZ Herald.

Sycophantic political writing like this - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/budget-2012/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503257&objectid=10805337

If he wasn't doing this before then just what has he been doing?

 

and on John Key...

Just what exactly did he say at the TPPA talks? How much of that is NOT in the public domain?

People you work with who have more responsibility than you that decide to lump you with a massive problem to solve, even though if they'd done their job in the first place would not have required 3 people to work in the weekend!

Football being called a product, fans being called consumers, leagues and teams being called a brand and especially teams beaing referred to as franchises.... Stick your corporate bollox up you arse.

Get real. That's exactly what professional football is... an entertainment product.

There's plenty of amateur football around if you want to keep it real.

The consistant downgrading of the bullish recruitment messages we have been getting from the club this off-season.

At the rate expectations are being  lowered I'm expecting they will announce Feverish as an exciting new signing by the end of July.

Is that so? I seem to remember football being professional when I was a kid but nobody called it a product or their team a franchise.
