Things that piss you off...

Yeah, emotionally I agree 100%.

Looking at it, it looks like the appeal is over him getting parole or the equivalent after 1/3rd of the sentence, rather than him appealing his conviction. So at current time he has "done his time" and has to be allowed to continue with his life.

Now the other side of that is the law/courts:

1) HOW was his sentence only 22yrs

2) HOW was someone who committed such a violent crime allowed out after just 1/3rd of the given sentence.

I feel like there is a similar issue in NZ where certain violent crimes don't get the length of sentence they deserve, and then the majority of those committing them are eligble for parole as well.

The corruption of immigration

So have seen further articles with more details, he has been released based on not getting a speedy trial for his appeal, has been waiting 7yrs for that.

Landlord giving us notice as he's decided to sell. Be annoying to have to move just to rent again, so going to look into whether buying is an option but it's probably not a possibility for us.

Chorus finally due to turn up to scope fibre install tomorrow too after months of waiting. May aswell cancel that now. No point me getting it done for someone else's benefit just to get to use it for a month or 2 then end up moving somewhere else and having to go back to ADSL again. Landlord or next buyer can sort it out themselves later on if they want it.

People who refer to themselves as "Quirky".

Unless your surname is actually Quirk then chances are you are trying way too fudgeing hard to be "alternative"!

People who reply to your email addressing you with the wrong name. Even though it is clear in my sign off, email signature and email address what my name is. 

I agree Gary

The amount of ads you get and are unable to skip when you try to watch something on TVNZ On Demand. Barely any different to watching live on TV.

This fudgeing shark FFA and their fudgeing shark fudgeing VRA can fudgeing fudge off

the VAR and Fifa saying the game was in Australia 

VAR that is only allowed to an Australian based teams advantage.

Can you do that on PS4? This was using the PS4 app.

I think that's the point. They're funded by advertising. 

Crashes every week during rush hour at Horokiwi!

People from the Hutt who can't drive.

Yes, understand that of course. Still annoying though!

The use of the term "the missus"

It grates me soooo much

My 'missus 'does not mind it. :)

better than my hoe, bitch ,fine piece of ass missus is said with love

tratt leaving too

The tony veitches of this world who suck up to sports players and administrators of clubs hoping to score some freebies

Same applies to certain supporters of the Phoenix here 

Media whores the lot of them.

Water being out.

I also think you just compared me (or someone else here)  to Tony Veitch, which is possibly one of the most offensive things that I've ever read on these forums.

Calling someone on here a Vietch is a serious burn. Ouch. No One deserves that tag.

what are you worked up about Kawasaki? 

It's odd to see someone ranting about Vietch and it to not be about him being a remorseless woman-basher

People travelling on a train who insist on playing their sharke music without using headphones.  

Or using headphones at maxed out volume so that you all can hear it.

people who have ligit imfo but only let it out in dribbles, eg tratts personal problems. i take it personally when our team dissolves for nout

Why should Tratts personal problems be public information?

People who don't punctuate or capitalise.

I misunderstood then. What did you mean? It's just you specifically mentioned Tratts personal problems and your frustration that people don't give out information, so I assumed you were frustrated that nobody would tell you what his personal problems were.

Personally, I'm curious as to what they are, especially since it's meant we lost a very good and promising young fullback (which aren't easy to come by). But I also understand that his personal problems should probably remain personal.
