When do you think New Zealand will have 90% of its population fully vaccinated? You will need to factor in Maori, gang members, rough sleepers, people in prison, and anti-vaxxers etc into your answer.
Which do you think is the best answer?
(if in doubt choose one earliest possible option achievable in your opinion)
Note: "By December" means "By the end of December"

Well, I sure as heck got a surprise when I turned on my computer today.

One of my posts, a thought provoking post: “To bribe or not to bribe? That is the question” was culled and the comments were closed down.
I received the standard email from the powers that be, telling me of this and it was because of certain replies.
I went into see which replies had been culled, although I already knew deep down which ones and by whom, and sure enough it was a couple of the regular ‘players’ who had replied with either controversial replies or against the guidelines set down here by the powers that be.
I’m getting rather annoyed at having my posts shut down (as we all are) because people can’t behave, or reply without thought and consideration for the rest of us.
There are ways of getting your points and thoughts across with getting the smack on the back of the wrist from those above.
Those of us who start these thought provoking conversations, don’t post just for the sake of it, but to get the conversation flowing without anger, without name calling, without conspiracy theories, but more for friendly conversations, help, ideas and different ways of thinking.
We all know who the regulars are that get our posts closed down and I’m sure you know who you are and no, I’m not naming names, but can you please try to play nice and think of a different way of getting your points across without upsetting the apple cart.
We all want to stay here, we all don’t like the controversial restraints we are under on here, but we all choose to stay here and enjoy each other’s company.
Please, we have to play nice and obey the rules and guidelines set down, whether we like it not.

The Master Chief texted back, "Who's Valerie?!"
The wife answered, "Nobody, I just wanted you to answer and to have confirmation that you saw my text."
The Master Chief replied, "Oh ok, because I’m with Valerie right now, I thought you saw me!"
The wife, who is taken aback, texted, "What??! Where are you?!"
The Master Chief responded, "Near the grocery store."
The wife then texted, "Wait, I’m coming right now!"
About 10 minutes later, the Master Chief's wife sends a message stating, "I’m at the store, where are you?!"
The Master Chief replied, "I’m at work. Now that you’re at the store, don't forget to buy the bread!"

I have just joined a local Food Not Bombs group
(en.wikipedia.org...).
We collect surplus or donated food and cook and deliver free vegetarian or vegan meals for anyone who needs them.
I am seeking clean plastic containers - freezer, and preferably microwave, safe - for packaging the meals I cook. If you have a pile of them cluttering up your place, I would love to come and collect them! The ones you get your Indian or Thai takeaways in are ideal.
Also, if you know of any businesses who can donate food supplies, please let me know

Kia ora neighbours, The over-riding message under Covid-19 Alert Level 3 is, stay at home as much as possible. So when sporting groups gather daily at a West Auckland stadium, are police checking them out properly? Read the story below:

Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick.
He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural.
She told him to see a doctor; she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out.
The years went by and he continued to rip them out.
Then one Christmas day morning, as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the innards, neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts, and a malicious thought came to her.
She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling the bed covers back, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts.
Sometime later she heard her husband waken with his usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bath room.
The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her eyes! After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty good.
About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his blood stained underpants with a look of horror on his face.
She bit her lip as she asked him what the matter was.
He said, “Honey you were right, all these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you.
“What do you mean?” asked his wife.
“Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened, but by the grace of god, some Vaseline and two fingers. I think I got most of them back in…..”
