    @Snowy said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

    @taniwharugby Who would have thought that an airport might be noisy?

    The poor developer innocently bought land next to one that has been there for many decades and shock, horror they are running noisy aircraft engines! So rude.

    I went out with a girl who lived near wellington airport, when I went to her house for the first time a plane took off and the house started vibrating and the picture on the tv went funny. Everyone else in the house acted like nothing was wrong and just raised their voices to be heard over the engines. I guess you get used to it after a while.

    Testing engines. At night.

    Operating planes is permitted - but testing engines at night breaches the plan.

    Welcome to teh joy of the RMA. If you don't have a rule allowing you to do something, you can't do it.

    Yes, they do that. It is when they fix them mostly, and need them the next day.

    Sounds like that Aussie flick "The Castle".

    My sister's neighbours sold their house a few years ago. New folk moved in and complained about the noise from the freight trains going past. I politely asked what they thought the two steel tracks sitting on railway sleepers at the bottom of the property were?

    I lived in a house by that viewing car park at welly airport for a while at the same rime as 11/9. Didn't get any of that, you definitely get used to it - not like it's Heathrow.

    Stuff posted this article which is mostly garbage or blown out of proportion - for example she was banned from twitter for life for saying "men aren't women"

    Same Massey who wouldn't let Don Brash speak to the politics club FFS. This is the hole you dig if you start trying to pick and choose which thoughts are safe to be articulated at a university.

    Muppets.

    Brash spoke at Massey once the ‘security’ issue had been ironed out. I thought this was common knowledge?

    OK, googled it - looks like he did.

    An appearance by former National leader Don Brash at Massey University, that was mired in controversy when first announced then canned in August, happened today without any protest.

    Fair play (eventually) Massey

    Protesters showed up to drown him out and the crowd started chanting "we want Brash " . So well done to them for making him relevant again

    You know some stuff ey.

    Wife's straightener thing failed last week, I suggested the local store to replace it. "They won't sell GHD. I'm going to have to get one online! God knows how long that will take!" She might as well have added "you moran!" at the end.

    She has a new one now. Thank fck.

    @jegga I've already told you I don't use the lotion on the coats and hats - it ruins the waterproofing.

    Flat learning curve or what?
