    @Chris-B. said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

    The exchange rate in the late '90s was probably around NZ$4 to the pound, so that lawyer should have been able to pay his $16K debt off almost painlessly instead of sticking his head in the sand and hoping it would evaporate.

    Not very sensible or responsible, but he was probably operating under the misguided assumption that he'd never want to return to his country of birth.

    What a loser this guy is. I wouldn't want anyone to know the extent of my stupidity. He got absolutely skewered on stuff in the comments

    There was pretty much zero sympathy for him, I think being a lawyer probably didn't help much if he did a nursing degree or something I think they wouldn't have been so excoriating .

    Funniest one I read was "lawyer complaining because he didn't read the terms of the contract he signed? LOL "

    Ferald using the term "prisoner" to describe a [somewhat unfortunate] family's living conditions.

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11863709

    I'm sure Kelvin Davis will take up cudgels for them if he thinks they actually are prisoners.

    "Somewhat unfortunate" = Interesting how the parents have a severely disabled 9 year old, but then decided to get another baby 16 months ago. On the bennies too. Surely you'd pull the pin on further children once you'd had the disabled child.

    Last time Maccas didn't ask, and sent home one with a "boy" toy, and one with a "girl" toy, shit got very real in my house.

    I knew it was only a matter of time before some social justice warrior complained about that. I feel genuinely sorry for that woman's kids, they must be so confused.

    It is incredible the lengths people are going to to deny the biological differences between men and woman.

    The thing is the happy meal toy is always shit and 99% of most kids bin it before they make it home.

    These chicks just have too much fucking time on their hands, oh the injustice of it all.
    First the Manchester bombing then this, wont someone think about the kids?

    this is gold!

    In a gender neutral world, how can we have such sexist and genderist events like this?

    One man asked, "So if I arrive with my wife and our four sons, will you turn 5 of us away because of our gender?"

    What if they all turned up in skirts, claiming to not be male....

    @taniwharugby Turn up anyway and berate them for assuming your gender. Then demand to know what their trans inclusion policy is.

    Or just take your business elsewhere...

    This is pretty shoddy from the spinoff and the lynch mob on twitter, I've been wondering why the spinoff is largely ad free and it turns out Auckland ratepayers subsidise if .
    Cheers @Kirwan and the other aucklanders here.

    Yes, because gender assigning is to blame for why you live in Tokoroa.

    @jegga running stories from anonymous sources with no proof is becoming pretty commonplace among many media outlets. Journalistic integrity is at a massive low right now.

    With any luck, she'll be convicted and placed on a no-fly list.
