      Save the shouting expletives at people for your facebook in-group signalling please

      Just repeating this, plus a couple of other things that should be obvious

      Please don't even insinuate that a specific individual has broken the law and/or a health order. If you want to make accusations do it on social media, preferably with your own name visible.

      Wishing death on people is frowned upon too

      The Flu is so much worse it's not even funny, the whole thing is a joke.

      Can confirm. I have it right now. Two days of fever and nothing else. Feeling better today.

      I've booked for Aussie (from NZ) in September. In the unlikely event self iso is still in place when I return, that's all good as I live alone...

      I'm off to Cairns and then visiting friends on the Gold Coast. Would welcome tips for Cairns - I know a guy there but he's quite busy making wardrobe space for his wife's shopping addiction so I don't want to bother him too much.

      I'm coming too!!!!! 🙂 Well I say that but we all know that decision is going to be made about two weeks prior and prolly not by me!

      So, I’ve successfully returned from NZ, spent the weekend downsizing my mums place (throwing out stuff and changing 9 light bulbs), I really felt bad over the last year, if she had got sick or just old I couldn’t get over their easily to help her

      One great score was finding my old Otago and highlanders jerseys!

      A8A679B9-0815-4C5A-A8F7-14E5FECD5A53.jpeg

      Great work, I changed 2 bulbs and a door handle thingee last time I went back. The latter took me 4 x trips to Mitre 10, fark I'm hopeless at that stuff 🤣

      Next lockdown you should spend it working on your handyman skills rather than relaxing in Queenstown or hanging out on the Northern beaches. 😉

      The phrase "lost cause" springs to mind

      I'm pretty sure @Nepia is the guy that can't cook....have at him mate!

      Barely though. I haven't ordered anything online from a butcher because the choices are so limited under current conditions. Every cafe and restaurant here is closed. I'm fucking gagging for a takeaway coffee and a vindaloo. You don't think 4 days of business will be important to them?

      We got our usual meat order last week, free delivery too, which was great given Dominoes dont even deliver out as far as we are, the booze shop wont either.

      I am sure it will be, but I just think this wil be thier (the Govt) 'happy medium'

      Has anyone been using Syncplay or similar apps to watch movies or listen to music with friends?

      I've been using https://www.airtime.pro/ to stream music to friends.

      Any app or service suggestions? Would love to be able to stream music to friends easily from my desktop.

      Do you peasants drive yourself or something?

      Funnily enough, we haven't been for the first 2 months of 2020 - and have hated it! Bali roads, licenses, insurance etc, all leads to expats renting a car + driver. And it's kinda fun for a week, and kinda crap after that!

      Can't put a price on independence.

      @Baron-Silas-Greenback I think that's the point.

      The China numbers are totally fucked but hardly anyone's can be trusted. Everyone has different testing regimes, the US had hardly done any testing (proportionately) before they had community transmission - some cases are still only testing hospitalised patients.

      That's what Bloomfield said today - the fact the we are now testing much more but the number of cases is stable is good news and suggests that while it is out in the community not to a massive extent.

      When I discussed ANZAC Day with a mate of mine (via Skype) a few days ago, his youngest girl heard it and suggested that everyone should put a poppy on the bear they have in front of their window (she still counts them every day on their daily walk around the block). It was very cute to hear an 8-year-old actively think about it, this way.

      that story just broke me.
