A bit of reversal of jealousy making...

Having lived in Nam, I did have a pang or two.

I'm calling this relevant to the thread due to Patches and Intern's motorcycle discussions ????

 Our little man decided to arrive early and with quite a different approach to his sister and due to COVID Papa missed his birth unfortunately!! Luckily I insisted on staying at hospital while having contractions (which they thought was false labour) otherwise he would have come in the car or at home.... 

He was 9 days early, 2 weeks shorter in the tummy than his sister, but a big difference in size. NB clothes fitted her for only a week, he swims in it.

Spacial times for sure! ????

Half eaten lamb chop ????

You made me go look. I didn't realise they were so far south... 40 degrees south at the northern point of the north island.

Congratulations, you were lucky to get one of each!

When we ordered the last one they delivered the wrong baby and we are stuck with two boys .... unfortunately this whole birth and baby thing is a non-refundable or exchangeable deal :P

 

It feels like just the other day though that you yourself was lying in a hospital in SA .... clearly that was a good couple of years ago already

Regardless of the message in this video, the BUZZ.NZ is a right wing anti vaxx nuthouse filled with covid deniers and ill informed narratives. A simple browse through their website makes my feel ill and I want to rub my screen with disinfectant.

I am all for critical thought and holding a government accountable for its failures. But using anything on that site is silly.

Take a look at the "who we follow" section of the website and it is quite literally a list of the WORST places on the internet to get information.

Wanted to put disinfectant in my eyes after 3 days in MIQ watching TVNZ, decided to stop watching local news and breakfast shows instead.

Does anyone here in NZ or Aus get car allowance from your company? Would like to know what you think is the pros and cons etc. And also how it works month to month.
