    @mn5 not to dissimilar to the commentators during the NPC if it is raining in Whangarei, always mention the winterless north!

    It isnt the rain that makes it winter fluffybunnies, its lack of sub-zero temps and snow that makes it 'winterless'

    Yep, last I checked it still rains in Dec-Feb. I do love me some rain as long as it doesn’t interrupt the cricket

    @mn5 well right now, the rain can fuck right off!

    Even though we have had fuck all last 10 days, my grass is still growing too fast and with my ride on mower pretty well fucked and me having to mow my neighbours lawn while he's stuck in Aus too....

    Bullshit weather talk.

    On a drizzly, windy day in the Hawkes Bay it is NOT funny or original to keep saying “Aw I see you brought the weather with you” to someone from Wellington.

    Agree tbh. This isn't welly weather, it's just good ol wetting rain. Loving it.

    People who try to have a conversation, any sort, even a short question to you, when you are TAKING A SHIT.

    It doesn't matter what it's about, it can wait. Leave me alone.

    Perhaps I wasn't clear ... not talking about the dude in the next stall wanting a chat. That's just odd. I'm talking about the

    "Daddy ... can I watch some TV"
    "Hon, you in there? Do you know where your keys are?"

    That shit can wait. This shit can't.

    Especially if “Hon” was speaking to you 30 seconds before you disappeared into the khazi.

    Unnecessary.

    Went shopping today and noticed that supermarket trolleys these days never have wonky wheels - which make the things bloody unusable.

    Just one more thing you can't get bloody grumpy about. Pisses me off.

    Don't worry, he won't trade on your turf. Everyone knows the ones on that side of the city are yours.

    Just destroy your own toilet each morning like a normal person, public toilets should be avoided for dumping at all costs unless they’re the ones that play that soothing piano music.

    dont actually know where to put this

    https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/woman-who-sued-doctor-for-being-born-wins-millions/news-story/ea63119623594241a65b1ad6c3387a45?utm_campaign=EditorialSB&utm_source=news.com.au&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_content=SocialBakers

    it does seem crazy, i'm a bloke with no plans to have kids...and even i know folic acid is important for pregnant women...but she's managed to sue because her doc didn;t advise her to take it specifically?

    more than just the inflammatory headline yes, but seems to boil down to the doc didn't advise to take folic acid, mum said she wouldn't have conceived if she'd known the risk

    As i said i thought there was pretty big stories a while back about folic acid in bread why it was important

    I love how the mum can be 100% certain of the decisions, about a topic she admits she didnt think about, she would have made 20 years ago

    @kiwiwomble so what, parents pay her £10 per week?

    Hasnt the thing around folic acid only been more recent (as in last decade or so)

    So what if a kid is born of an unplanned pregnancy, can they also sue? Asking for a friend.
