teletubby

yeap my spelling and stuff are not as good as what they were or could be... but i guess looking at a lot of posts on treads in racecafe...i'm in very good company....

sorry.... can i say it was a typing errror ..lol must've been away with the fairies...lol.

so your 36? excuse me mandy.... thought you were just a few years above that lol. and that name rings a bell ....did he have a relation that played for auckland(suburbs rugby)

talk......understand what you are saying... but porkies they are not.. true examples they truely are.. sad fact of what is actually going on in the real world. your experiences differ from mine.. although i have some really good views on some teachers/principals that i have come in contact with over the years...so i must addmit it is a few that i have a problem with... but then i can say that their bosses in wellington are also looking at them... that tells me something is not right.

yes i am very judgemental .. when it comes to government departments.. just like a trade unuoist stands up for the workers against the bosses,i stand up against,teachers,principals,winz,cyf and many others. for the weak,unemployed and those that don't know how to deal with some of the crap they dish out.. just like the principal that had asembly and told all present that a couple of kids were leaving the school because their parents had died... you can wonder about the reaction by those children and the parents who were standing at the back of the hall listening about them dying... is that okay. or do we stand up and say no,no,no.

they have a wage scale... forget the figures as it has chaged a bit over the years... just out of training school year 1 exsample -$17,000 year 2 -$19,000 rear 3 -$21,000 and so on. pricipal normally top cap.. like i said would have changed a lot over last 10 years...someone in know will put us right.

i thought the kiwi saver was the governments(national & labour) way of bringing in a user pay system... you put your money aside in a kiwi saver and when you reach retirement age that is all you get... no government handouts like the pension...although it was made clear some would not be able to contribute to kiwi saver... that is really a myth... if you are unemployed...you can still claim the $1,000 to set up with kiwi saver... what else you put into it depends if you are able to or not.. say on a unemployment benefit of $400 you choose to 10% that would be $40 (using that figure as example not many benefits really at that amount)5% would be $20 . of course you don't have to put anything towards it.. and just go on the interest it collects.. but you have to look at wider picture... if your 18 or 20 now you may have something put aside by the time your 70... but if your say 55m by the time your 70 not a lot would be in your savings..so you are still relying on a pension of some sorts..it is my gut feeling that both parties will at sometime over next decade do away with pensions .. which may see an early demise in elderly people...i suggest to my own children save as much as you can even if it means doing without those overseas trips etc.for the next 5 years or so things are going to be tough with this recession...and savings hard for even low income earners..

i think the new payroll company is australian.from news reports a week or so ago. i stand to be corrected.. but thats what i heard, one would think they would be more on the level ..in relation to being an english speaking country to say..india.. but honestly..i'd think if they knew that all this was going to happen inn advance they would have been able to fix it or a least part of the problem..if not they clearly should be dumped and replace with someone else.this would happen in big business wouldn't it?

i havd no problems with the teachers/principals at schools were i was a board of trustee member...with the exception of one.papakura central school were the principal and a t the time a fellow board member who soon became the chairperson .. and mayor of papakura... decided that i should concider standing down (this was when the election results came known) because they felt a person that missed out had more to offer the school and it did not wash well with them that someone that was umemployed became a board memeber...since i've been in southland i've experienced several strange teachers/principals details that i shell not go into on this forum as legal action against them is still pending. but i can say this... when a child gets his/her pants pulled down by some older kids something has to be done about it.... they got to sit in the office for the rest of the day.. the child that had pants pulled down swang around and bite one of the kids as he could not free his arms.. he was suspended for his actions..remember his pants were pulled down exposing his bare arse... the response from the teacher,principal and the board of trustees was discusting to say the least...and our concerns about the pants being pulled down laughed at by them all as one big joke...that is the board.principal and teachers i have that is were my concern lays...the teachers and pricipals that i have encounted in southland .by far the strangest lot... we are talking a bout one school were in one year the pricipal reported the parents to CYF without reasonable or just caurse..just because she could...soon turns the other way and runs when she shes me in the shops...hence this is now the job i do... helping parents that have problems with schools,and cyf...while there are some bad parents out there not all are bad,just as not all teachers are bad... alot have to follow what they are told or be hit over the knockles so to speack.. hope this helps clear up the matter..

this issue with wages started /or become knoen before this new payroll group took over...teachers ,cleaners,and other starff were prewarned that their wages may not be in their bank come normal payday..some were told that they had been over paid..in some cases, releif teachers were paid $7,000 for 2 or 3 days releif work... i can not understand if this era was picked up then why couldn't it have been fixed before these people got their pay/wages...i think a few years ago while living in papakura,my wife worked at a local school.. who changed payroll group.. and they had a big mix up with everyones wages.. so this must be an on going thing..one would think they would've learnt by now.. and got things right. i for one would not blame anyone if their wages were paid wrong or not paid into my banlk at all... most are part of a union and they should be jumping up and down.. and the government should also be doing something ... i bet they took their taxes out from these peoples wages... hire purechase agreements etc are not always as acommodating as some think, and nor are mortage people like banks... they take but not give, and they soon add late fees for late /non payment.. when clearly it is not the fault of these people ..they pay the price,their bosses and payrool people have a lot to answer for.

there may be some that love their job and do it really good. there are a great number that should think of staying at home or changing jobs as they are complete ****wits at being a school teacher /pricipal.and i stand by that...been on enough school boards.. and have had quite a bit to do with schools/since with grandchildren etc.. overpaid glorified baby sitters... knew to many teachers that put themselves through training colledge by working at night.... in massage palours....then they claim to have morals.. by teaching our children?

they belong to a union whats wrong with them.... with draw your labour until they fix the problem... and this comes from a guy who strongly thinks teachers and principals are over paid....but lets face it no one in there right mind can afford not to be paid on time....what is wrong with these people.. take over payroll ..do the job right or get replaced with someone that can.... anyway isn't it an australian company? that could explain a lot..lol.

we are already like south africa..in the days... were the minority rulz... minto and his gang of activists protested that this was totally unfair .. but they seem to support it here in new zealand... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm,maybe i can blame my parents because they were not maori,for all the unfair, and bad things that have happened to me in my life time.....some one has got to pay for this.. maybe a big slice of waikato or southland would be payment enough with about $170 million compo.... might do me and my family a decade or two before we need to ask for more...... tune in tomorrow for the continuing saga of kiwi casebook,were the poor get poorer and the rich get richer and if your white.. go directly to jail do not pass go do not colect 200...

they have two options.. a food grant... that is a seal,signed form dicrected to the supermarket you choose.eg,countdown new worls etc.. to the value of say $200.00,no cigs or chocolates ,booze.. and i think you can use it all and add extra money to your total but if you use $194 of $200 you have to find something else to make it to that total or as close to that total as possible and they may give you i think something like $2 in change. the other option is. they send you to the food bank run by the sallies or some church group,this is becoming more and more part of winz.. as they have been instructed by the witch from the west to make cuts... sallies and other church groups don't really see eye to eye with the government on this as it is a drain on their resorces..while the government uses the money in other areas for which they are not intended..like paying big fat eeo's a massive farewell package... that could pay 1000 people on a benefit a foodgrant of $100 or more. if a person on a benefit of say $200, paid out rent,power,medical,and food the odds are they would not have ****all left for anything else.. budget or no budget.. take gst off everyday food and that in it self would be a start.. I have stated that for some on benefits .. they should run up a card system. give them no money.. welfare pays the rent, power ,phone etc.. and what is left goes towards food .. and if that is not enough then and only then a top up with a food grant...taht has to be a step in the right direction.. and only give special food grants out for really desperate situations...

just getting away from school lunches.. the guy on a benefit from kaitaia that smashed a winz office window last week because he was turn down after applying for a food grant... i feel for that bloke... to get a food grant,you must show them a copy of your bank statement/balance. this is so they can see you have no money left.. then you must explain what you spent your money on.. then if you say you paid a over due bill or a car repaire you must show them the receit for payment.. yes the third degree. and then at the end of all this bullshit they say no,this can be really downheartening,i've been there, your guts feels empty you hear this almighty thud... within..your wind drifts ..what do i do,what do i do.. you wonder how your going to feed your wife and twenty hungry kids...until next benefit day... i'd say apply for a special benefit they can not refuse. most people on a benefit are entitled to ex amount for a food grant each year.some never use them some are in there every second week..i am sick and tired of winz case officers playing god... but hey this is the system we have and it is better than nothing at all. these people need held.. they need someone to listen. they do not get that by a national government nor did they get it under labour.. but they also don't get the help they need by the caseofficers employed to help them... i exspect a few more windows to be broken...maybe they should look at helping this guy and find a solution rather than putting this on the back burner and treating the man as a criminal...

grew up in mt roskill, a dry area... full of piss heads... but nrighbour helped neighbour...everyone had something spare to help those that didn't have as much...drugs would have been around..not in my circle of mates until late teenage years... and those that took dope soon were on the out as friends... doesn't matter what town i move to.. this stuff will be present.. found it even in meremere village... funny thing is the police seem to turn a blind eye to it so what can one do...currently looking for a farmhouse but still looking at moving back to auckland. don't know why... i keep to myself have as little to do with neighbours as i can.. maybe a hello here and there...we manage with what we have and the income we bring in..since both of us have been working we can afford things more. always food in fridge/cupboard,, clothes on our backs and rent/power paid for...not a lot fpr savings but we manage...now if we can do it then everyone else should be able to as well.

i might add the sheila with the tats and scabby body... doesn't seem to be around gore anymore... for quite a while i'd see her and a group of young fellas, coming home from liqourland scolling 8% rum/bourbons as they walked home.. oh.. about 3 doors from were i live is a tinny house ..they would make regular stops there... not bad for unemployed people, they give the good ones a bad name.. and yes as a taxi driver in the state of papakura you get to pick tinny houses.... lots of visitors all hours of the night/day...and with the normal crap that goes with it... and the police do nothing....the locals just say...it doesn't go on(happen ) in gore...thats an auckland thing.... well i've got news for them...... wake up and smell the coffee.

saw this sheila bending over in the supermarket. and spotted this tatto,on th ecrack of her butt.. most of us most likely have spotted them in our travel... mmmmmmmmmmm nice tat i thought.. (skinny sheila..one of few down here) well i looked again and she had scabby sores all over her back.. she stood up and turned around and her face ane shoulders were covered in this flakey scabby stuff... urrrrrrrrrrr .... many others clearly have tats from head to foot... i don't like pain so none on me.. a couple of my sons have them..god knows why... i guess i'm tooooo chicken... but heaps of sheilas down here with tatto's and okay for those they suit but there are some really wild lookers that look like branded hogs..

without a word of a lie....for those of you that live in papakura and have sighted the mcveigh twins..the father was /is a regular at papakura tab. the girls, the mother and one of the boys were huge.. when the girls got in my cab, it would be like the flintstones... just about asre over... watching those girls snack out from a bakery ... would put most people off food.. well down here in southland... i find a great percentage of the females are obeast...i've even had my sons girlfriends sister tell me i was obeast... maybe i am/was... she could fit into my pants without much space left..her grandmother was /is 3/to 4 times my size.. and since my sons girlfriend had her baby she has balloned in size... they seem to marry and have kids at a very eary age down here cause by the time they are 20 ... they look as they would be 50 in auckland...heavy drinking and not watching/caring what they eat and most of them think they look good...... watching the wiggle of a southlander dropping from side to side as they walk down the street can be quite entertaining... put ya off females though... the over weight, the real cool foul words they use.. at least i can walk down the street and know my body is in quite good nick.. and although i'm in twighlight years, still in very good shape..watch what i eat,watch what i drink (no alcohol for well over a year)and i exercise....at 90k,still could lose another 20k but no hurry...i'm doing just dandy....

luches that east gore get from st peters, each item is at a cost... they don't get it free,for example, pies =$2.00 baked nuggets/chips=$4.50 combos =$6.00 noodles=$2.00 now i think you can get these noodles at suppermarket for $.59c just add water...quite a good profit margin....

trouble with that is some schools would take part of that $20 and put it into their running costs for the school instead of food for the children.. they simply can not be trusted to do what is designed with the money...yes you could get parents to do a day here a day there in the kitchen preparing lunches... but from my experience and i think most schools will ditto... modern mothers are a lazy lot....schools have trouble getting them to help pta's etc.. so what chance have they got to do meals....you need to employ someone to do it.st peters down this way has the right idea.... but i do question the healthly diet bit....although i'm at a cross road here.as i feel at least kids are getting lunches... some parents reason unknown can not afford to buy their kids a pie, of such for lunch....those same parents can not supply some bread and butter and peanut butter or jam.. they need to explore the reason why.. look at budget, at, educating them into cooking,etc..if on a benefit.. and kids are turning up at school without lunch when i was a kiddie, teacher would ask if someone had spare sandwhiches they didn't want, apples , biscuits etc .. and we were always egar to help out a mate in class.. these days the kids sneak out to where the kids put their luch boxes etc and steal what they want..we need to educate the children that it is wrong and the parents that they have an obligation to feed their children if they are having problems then they need to get help..and here lies the problem.... schools are so tied up with sucking up to departments like CYF, they make a parent that is having financial problems to be a bad family .. next thing they have cyf ..wanting meetings, making demand and threatening to take children from families...one can see why parents won't work in with schools... i have seen it first hand...and could tell a few home truths... about schools and cyf...but that doesn't help the children that go to school hungry without breakfast or lunch.. it is a fine line..and schools have got to stop being bullies and work with the parents.. without prejuduice.

of late there has been quite a bit of bitching about some children not having school lunches... yes this happens.some even turn up not having breakfast and some schools provide this for them...not really exceptable to some but at least children get feed. if schools are made to provide lunches what are the options... here in gore.. were the schools tell you not to give this to your child or that to your child and none of this is permitted at school for lunch.... east gore school sells food via st peters... and one of the things they sell is noodle pods.but in a recent news letter the school has instructed parents not to send kids to school with these as they need hot water and it is a health and safety issue... but they still continue to sell via st peters..a quick run down on a school lunch order.. calci yum milk keri juice mini burgers-chicken baked nuggets & chips macaroni cheese. wedges with chicken tenders and milk wedges with nuggets and milk wedges with pork riblets and milk meat lovers pizza chips wedges noodles-beef or chicken pork riblets chicken tenders chicken nuggets american hot dog hot bite pie toastie triangle-spaghetti/cheese cold foods lunch box (chicken or ham sandwhich, banana,yoghurt & mini muffin) juicy cookie time cookie fruit cup popcorn. message at botton say: please note all food is baked not fried in oil... we take my grandsons pills down to him at lunch time and watch parents turning up with macdonalds, pks of fish 'n'chips .KFC,and subways.. in my view schools have no right or no idea on what it takes to feed a child.. some may have a condition .. for example,gutem free issues... just to name one...

i rememeber old ken meir,at a trades coucil meeting ...with many great actists in attendace... he ranted and raved... and the more he did it the more they were wowed.. by his marvel...hone is the same.... the more dribble that comes out of his gob the more some listen ...actists in nz have rewritten maori history... some say for the betterment of maori.i say to full the pockets of the greedy....now you have to ask yourself why would any nz newspaper print a letter from a uselessmother****er like him ... maybe it is time we scraped the waitang treaty.... altogether... maori grizzle white man never honoured it... and from were i'm sitting...maori havn't done to much honouring either..

tall skinny... (i'd need step ladder)

most likely .that would happen. 1) i am not a royalist. 2)no enerty if person unknown. 3)talk skinny sheila with several body guards..... i don't think so.. 4)not my type/nothing in common ... and i focus on the word common.....she would claim i have no class.... i would claim she is a commoner....lol. 5) not a beautiful maori maiden... speaks some foreign lingo..... 6) more suited to some australian, backwood, softcock...
