If he spent less time trying to convince everyone about fake news and spent more time doing his damn job - President, then he might find more people find in his favour. Sadly, the little boy needs his ego constantly stroking.

The bloopers on youtube are a must see. The show itself, whilst funny and entertaining, is brilliant for its educational angles too. Learn something new every epsiode and I like how the Chasers, sometimes explain their answers. I love general knowledge and this show helps. Bradley Walsh is appearing in the new Dr Who series, I hope that he can juggle the two commitments. A decent actor and an excellent show compare.

I just did some research on houses in La Grange, Kentucky, USA and what $400k USD ($620 NZD) gets you would make us all cry. 4 bedroom/bathroom on a full acre in a very nice suburb. Has NZ gained a 0 ego in itself? Are we becoming too expensive for our own good?

Just before everyone gets excited, do you really think the petrol companies are going to let you get away with cheap electricity? As soon as it becomes popular, just watch the price of charging go up to match petrol prices...oh, and of course the Government of the day wanting their piece of action in taxes. It might be clean and green but it will not be the big money saver we all want and need.Right now, petrol is one dollar more than it needs to be and I dont see any Government making an effort to reign in the profitairing especially when they appear to be the biggest offenders with their taxes. National, Labour, makes not difference. They are all the same.

These two were well ahead of their time. By todays standards, their humour is mild. Their shows were interesting, not just the cooking and their own interactions. In my humble opinion they did more to promote their lifestyle choice as one that suited them without forcing it onto others with in your face humour - Please note Ms Moa!They were fun, and in front of the cameras never took each other too seriously nor themselves. Their self depreciating humour was good. As a hetrosexual male I found them to be entertainig and more than acceptable in a world of change. They were just being themselves and being honest and I respect/respected them for that. may they both rest in peace.

If EVERYONE on the slopes actually boycotted the food and drink (Will never happen but one lives in hope) on the slopes, the price will come down as those businesses will feel the pinch. They need a reminder that they are there for a purpose and not to take the punters so damn for granted.

When he stands all of Brazil stands as well? So when he dives, they all dive too? Hes a cheat, easy thing to just say and its 1. He was trying for an advantage and to get someone carded.Kane - Golden Boot for top scorer, Modric won the Golden Ball for player of the World Cup and Neymar won the 3 meter board!

Factual checklist:Aged 16, Godgiven talent shows up on world stage at world under 18 tournament. Aged 20, hailed as the best talent since Pele.The World Cup hand of God CHEAT. Followed by his solo wonder goal.Introduced to Cocaine. After years of abuse, seeks treatment in Cuba.Shoots at journalists at his front gate.More Cocaine. Packs on the weight.Attempt to coach Argentina despite no formal qualifications. Gives double bird in display of poor sportsmanship.

Rugby fan? People watch it for the passion, skill and unpredictable style of some plays. Neymar when not diving and acting, is actually quite a skilled player and can amaze plenty of people when using it. Football is usually (Not always sadly) a flowing game and with good match officials and two decent teams is a joy to watch. Other codes are so stop and start it really detracts from the spectacle.

Poor Divemar, no longer there. The Belgiums had Brazil ssused out and executed an almost perfect game plan. They deserved to win, as did France in their game. No Suarez to dive anymore either. Phew !!

Any price drop will happen in 3 months because the fuel they buy today is in storage for 3 months. They might drop the price but I doubt it. However should the price per barrel go up $1 then the new price will see petrol up immediately 3-5 cents, despite it being 3 month old fuel. Thats what these Cartels are doing. ripping, scimming everyone off to the Max. The politicians will rattle their sabre of disapproval but the reality is is that they are planning how to use the extra tax on election bribes/promises. This applies to all political parties, Not just National, Not just Labour. All the piggys have their noses in the trough.

Neymar, Suarez, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Arjen Roben, Drogba, Rooney, all in the last twelve years are guilty of diving to win an advantage at World Cups. I believe VAR should be allowed to review any controversial calls and should it be deemed to be a dive then a red card should be issued. Should any player be found guilty of it three times within a League Season (Or a International Cup Competition), they should be allowed to have a rest from the game for 12 months. Not just ban him or anyone guilty of that offence but confiscate any income from any source to that player and use it to promote the game at youth level.

So much for the Government dishing it out to the Petrol Cartels over their absurdly high prices, when they themselves are going to dish it to TAX PAYERS themsevles. Two groups of professional liars all milking the public for everything they can get.

A classic trilogy with a cast that really complimented each other. Theyve aged well. What they need is to do is some voice overs for a decent video game and my cars Tom Tom!What they have done, is given us a wholesome family movie that I am not afraid of my kids watching - even part 2 which did seem a little darker and seedy in the future.

They seem to be the Facebook of apps other than Facebook - gathering a bit too much information about ones system, whether it be on a phone/tablet or on a laptop/desktop.

Once again, someone has offered a rational argument for discussion and the village idiot trolls - The Hardline Pro National & Pro Labour have turned it into yet again another bun fight to serve their own needs. Grow the hell up and let us have a rational discussion without the petty cheaps shots at each other. Take your toys elsewhere you muppets.

I just watched that video clip over and over. If the guy stood on his foot which had had surgery on it recently, why was Neymar holding his upper shin area?? His acting would get him a starring role on Shortland Street, where hes more convincing than the current encumbants.

A shame we dont have an ANZAC game against Australia every year on ANZAC Day. Alternate it with Aussie and also have the games in NZ played at places like Napier, New Plymouth, Dunedin, Christchurch, Nelson etc etc Not Always at QBE or even Wellington. Although a game at Wellington would get more punters than at QBE - The Home of NZ Football.

As with the nurses, where were they when National were in power. No major strikes then were there? I didnt vote Labour , I can see they are trying to correct the low wage economy. The Nurses are now sorted, give them time and hopefully all the deserving parties will get their rises. But we need to be patient. As I said, where was all this industrial action under National while everyone except the rich were getting shafted??

I was just about to type the same thing. Bradford said privatising the Power would force cheaper prices. What Mad Max didnt say was that private companies have share holders and the point is to maximise profits for them, not the paying customers. Mad Max should have been held for treason against the NZ people. I too have 3 young children and a wife. I am not looking forward to the bill that should arrive tomorrow.

I love toll roads, not great if your credit card is maxed and you have 3 days to pay. I prefer cash myself but no, you cant do that. The road out by Tauranga is an excellent road but unlike transmission gully, once you are on it, thats it, you cant get off till the end. So who is going to police this and how are they going to collect? It would be nice if you could pay at a bank. Perhaps pay like a ten trip ticket in advance, forward your car number plate and the cameras click one trip off your card every time you enter the toll road?

Typical TV 3 screw up, Why only Auckland? WTF?? The English programme focuses on familys all over England, not just one city. This smells like your typical cheap NZ made reality crap, whereas the English version is brilliant. and racial backgrounds didnt become an issue. It was just diverse types of people.

The only boost they are getting is a free run on dictating the price of petrol - Irrispective of who is in power, Labour or National, the Petrol Cartels are screwing everyone over Not just the politicians. we should be paying approximately $1.11 per litre for 91. In Kentucky (USA), my friend was telling me yesterday, petrol is $2.42(USD) per gallon ($3.34NZD per Gallon). 3 litres in a Gallon = 80 cents per litre, then add the infamous Govt grab and the Cartel grab.......

3 Billboards is begging for a sequel. I want to know what happened when Francis and Sam caught up with that other guy. The film ended like No Country for old men. - with the viewer wanting to watch more and see what happened.
