It often happens with advanced age...

That's a shame, but the weather seems to be threatening again so I don't blame you. Poor buggers have had a hell of a time.

We had a fantastic trip, even with 2 days of forced relaxation during the worst of it. Which was the only bad weather we had really, and didn’t really feel cyclonic apart from ...

They're be showing movies on the big screen next.

Thanks for the concern fellas. Left Mangawhai on Wednesday so missed the flooding. Seemed to be the story of our trip. Missed the worst of it even during the middle of the cyclone.

Now back in Christchurch and have just had the joyous experience of turning my alarm back on for tomorrow morning ...

Ate horse quiet often while living in Belgium. Also very tasty.

I did the same in early 95. Great spot.

PR has gone down again so I find myself back here :wink:

All roads lead to Rome.

I've driven a lot of roads in the last couplenof weeks and to my surprise not one of them ended up in Rome. One did up at a very nice cart by a lovely beach making and selling delicious real fruit icecream ...

8 dead now. :(

Man, the amout of forestry slag and the amount of damage it's caused.

I'm quite happy to have missed it.

Have you discovered any new beverages in the Deep North to wash down all these delicacies you speak of?

Indeed I have. Had an excellent creamy red ale made by the Bay of Islands brewery. Unfortunately only available on tap at the Duke of Malborough in Russel. And had some solid offerings ...

Alt-right Conspiracy Theorists Pivot From Covid to Climate Change + the Extreme Left (basically alt-right conspiracists in tie-dye) and, racism. Ch Ch and North Canty get a brickbat once again.

It would be interesting to know how this is measured, and what percentages we are talking about ...

If it's any consolation their Hoki wasn't that great and there chips were a but ordinary. Piahia fish and chips were better, although they didn't have fresh hapuka, and their chips were also a bit ordinary.

Cheers for the update snooze. 👍

We've made it to Mangonui. Roads were fine. It's stopped raining and the sun is threatening to break out. Just had some delicious fresh locally caught Hapuku at the Mangonui fish shop.

Think this part of the north is through the worst. Feel bad for all the poor ...

(Tee hee hee, they haven't noticed I'm still sitting quietly in the corner eating their biscuits...)

You can stay FOG.

I’m fact, we aren’t letting you leave. Make a lesson out of you for those who enter our lands.

:thumbup:

Wait, what are those clamps for, and is that a large jar of ...

Sister in Mangawhai saying power might be out for a week. They have a small gennie but not sure it can run all fridges and freezers. Also, their cooking is all electric so not sure how that's going.

Daughter trapped down at Tara Iti golf course , but they have full generation so OK there ...

(Tee hee hee, they haven't noticed I'm still sitting quietly in the corner eating their biscuits...)

I'm not gone yet. Haven't finished hiding the silverware in my socks, and the minibar still has a couple of bottles left.

I've been offered money not to go back...

Relatively calm here in Piahia. Still have all our services and although still raining, it's pretty much like a normal rainy day with nothing screaming "I'm a cyclone baby!".

Emergency alert just went off on my phone. Northland have declared a precautionary state of emergency so they have all the powers ready to go if neded.

Surf was up in Piahia when I was in town early, with surges causing minor flooding on one section of the road. From the splashing not draining ...

Good to see you have left the dark side and joined us in the sun.

I had to get some sun somewhere. Visit sunny Northland they said. Do it in Feb when the weather will be lovely they said. So we left cold miserable Christchurch (were it was 30°C and sunny) to visit the winterless north ...

I'm already eyeing up your women folk and filling my bag with the baking innocently left our on window sills by the trusting folk of this village...

Some power fluctuations here in Piahia, but otherwise all good so far.

Probably a good idea. You guys are forcast to get it worse than Northland I believe.

We have emergency supplies just in case. Wine and cheese counts right?

Only the essentials huh? :grin:

We also have chocolate. And some local Phathouse craft beer... (and bread, salami, chips, fruit ...

Thanks. I mentioned on another thread that I would have been here sooner but for technical difficulties (login issues). Have lurked occasionally.

But I have a new phone and now all sorts of things that weren't working suddenly are (my office authentication app for example), although it could all ...

It's alright everyone. I made it out. Some silly bint didn't think there was enough space on a floating door for 2 of us, so I pushed her off.

That is quite something.

Russel had disappeared from across the bay, but is back now. Ive worked out I can lessen the intensity of the wind and rain by stepping out onto the deck to video it...

Getting some power fluctuations here. Losing power for a few seconds at a time. Odd.

Cheers guy. I'm particularly impressed by not having to click on the twitter links to see if they are worth the trouble.

And it's nice to see discussions that aren't getting derailed by obvious trolls and loons.

Rain has arrived in Piahia. Heavy by Christchurch standards, but not ridiculous yet ...

Cheers. I would have been here sooner but for some technical issues. I would occasionally look in, but had difficulty logging in for some reason. Maybe not related, but I have a new phone and all sorts of things that weren't working now are.

I've decided to add a cyclone to my list a disastrous events to experience. Currently in Piahia enjoying the calm before the storm.

Also, haven't visited this site in ages. Had issues trying to login last time, but straight in this time. Thought I'd give it another go given PR seems to have ...

Yes, it's an anticoagulant. Not sure if it increases blood pressure though. Think the main side effects are potential bleeding, so they often have to apply a warfarin reversal protocol if the patient is undergoing surgery or has a trauma event.

Response is pretty good though.

Love it!

They said on the old fashioned live TV news this morning that in one of the states unused to so many postal ballots they are taking it slow and checking everything 5 times to ensure the count is as accurate as possible.

Problem is it's not really that enthralling. Dull is how I would mostly describe it. It's the test cricket of the election world.

Man, you don't need to look hard to find interesting Trump supporters.

An NZ eporter was interviewing different ones post rally and managed to get,

"The election will be rigged, but we will win anyway."

"Yes, I believe there will be a vaccine soon, but I won't be taking it."

And, from an older ...
