Things that piss you off...
If you are paying the phone bill unplug the phone and keep it in your room and if it is a cordless, just take the handset.
Me. I do not and never have owned a mobile phone.
What is your reason behind that?
Me because ph calls to other land lines locally doesn't cost 72 cents a minute or more.
Can't remember the last time I paid for a txt or a call on a per minute basis.
I get several thousand free txts, and 2 or 3 hundred free minutes every month, neither of which I ever get anywhere near using all of.
all at a cost of probably about the same or even less than a land line rental per month.
We have both.
Don't use the land line much. It's just there in case a fleet of Alien Space Ships enter the solar system vaporizing all of earth's satellites.
With a land line we can still order pizza in.

You can do that online.
order my pizza online, using either laptop or tablet/phone app.
Not after the aliens have taken care of everything. Land lines and CB radio you young fools.
Morse code will be the thing Aliens don't understand! Bring back soap box crystal radios.
I keep it so I can still use the fax machine
Makes me sad seeing this. Such a lovely city, one of the best in the world. Hopefully it gets sorted soon.

trying to get hold of any one at either google or facebook after my account was hacked. Just spent near on 7 hours tryi g to do so and still at square one. Anyone out there have a phone number or email address to help me?
Have you tried Google's Account Recovery process?
https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery
No idea how good it is :)
i have tried everything and you go round and round and round in circles and theres no online chat or even an 0800 number, google and face book are like trying to get hold of a microsoft rep except microsoft actually do have phone numbers.
Good news, i have retaken my gmail account back by perservaring. And i sent an email off to the NSA giving them the details i had grabbed on the fucker that has taken over my facebook page. Who knows what will happen there but i am pretty fucked off at facebook and their lack of being able to contact someone for help instead you have a friggen FAQ that does not leave you any answers.
Getting yourself to work an hour earlier than usual because you have an early meeting, only for the person to cancel a minute before because they don't have the time. Oh well, can go home earlier I guess!

Why would you email NASA?
No, the NSA. They deal with cyber crime as well as other stuff. What the hacker did is a federal offence in this case.
Shit if anyone pinched my gmail account, they would be welcome to it. They could pay my bills why they are at it as well.
gmail = desposable.
People who don't support their team buy turning up whenever they can. Irrelevant of what the sport is, your team need you to show up to survive.
The Lions should never be playing in front of 2000 people when NZ is suppose to be a rugby country. If people can't turn up to that, we are always gonna struggle to grow our audience for the Mighty Nix
And Rugby. I hate Rugby. A Lot

Overtime?
Nah no such thing, just a regular 40 hour a week salaried job.

Rugby is supposed to be New Zealands religion yet no one is turning up to church?

Any ranking like that is bound to be biased in certain ways, but that's a broader set of indicators than just GDP per capita or life expectancy or something.

Thought I'd get a bite :)
I'm surprised NZ is 7th though. Massive increase in poverty-related illnesses, (mind you most "western countries are facing this). Someone breaks wind and half the street lights go out across the country and an Internet connection, (47th in the world), so slow it's still trying to load a search from Altavista.
Yeah, it's obviously not perfect, in fact there's serious issues, but the lives of most people here are longer, healthier, and freer from violence and oppression than the lives of probably 90% of the world's population.
I think its valuable to question and critique our views of development and why we think NZ is a good place to live, and to strive to make it better. On the other hand, I get annoyed at people bagging it (not directing this at you, just generally) without stepping back and looking at the big picture. KG's original post was about a water cooler - nearly 800 million people don't have access to clean drinking water, and 2.5 billion lack adequate sanitation.
it is people like this that make it ha

In my view New Zealand was one of the very few countries in the world that were settled peacefully

Relatively speaking he isnt wrong.
Relatively speaking he isnt wrong.
"Relatively" doesn't really enter into it.
But you can have degrees of violently settling a land.
That seems like a very ill-informed and insensitive comment by the PM.

I think the Incas, the Aztecs and the Mayan's would have preferred our way than the Spanish and Portuguese way of dealing with things.
