@Snowy yeah I probably should've clarified I meant the hair, maybe not the colour.
You have afro type frizzy hair AND a rats tail? Now that is impressive.
It also makes you easier to find.

Stop it. Gollywog and Guy's heads are about to explode.
I don't know Guy either, but we really haven't dealt to black people much (middle East "bourne" probably more Arab than Golliwog).
I am of course a white middle aged Nazi that has ruined the planet so everything that I say is racist / sexist rubbish anyway.

@canefan I'm really struggling to understand how a student could lay dead for eight farking weeks in accommodation. Friends? Family? Classmates? Tutors? Accommodation staff? Those who had adjacent rooms??? SMELL????
I mean come on now. Not like the poor guy was a hermit living in a mountain or bush hut or something.

@Bones said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@Mokey I guess due to the transitory nature of such accommodation...plus the variety of smells already floating about...
Wasn't it a student hostel? So not that transitory.
By the backend of term 3 you'd likely know each other pretty well.
I seem to recall we had some pretty reclusive types in our hostel, but not THAT reclusive.
But I can see how people could be not missed, especially if he had no friends. There's no obligation to turn up to class - So lecturers / tutors don't care.
I can see circumstances where he is not missed, but they are very sad circumstances.

@booboo Yeah it is sad. But I don’t see how it’s the Fault of the company owning the accommodation. When I stayed in a hostel back in medieval times I wouldn’t have been impressed by someone from the facility checking up on me and in retrospect I was still a frigging baby. This young man was 20? Where were his friends? Why didn’t his family call the hostel and ask them to check on him?

First bold: agree entirely
Second bold: that is really perplexing -
@Mokey very sad indeed...although I listened to a podcast where a woman, and 2 small children, not both hers, were missing for over 30 years, never reported missing, which makes it much more difficult to identify.
Next story...

@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.
