Re: Serious Q - Freelancing...

Yeah, it's not much cop for freelance jobs really. www.writerfind.co.nz tends to be a bit better.

Thanks for the advice though.

Just how far behind the UK is NZ???

So, off the top of my head, and in no particular order, I was thinking that New Zealand has the following issues:

1. No insulation in the homes as standard
2. Piss poor wages
3. More...

Mine also. Being able to sit in an interview for a job and tell them that i've had extensive contact with media the world over and run PR campaigns on a worldwide basis goes a long way.

Re: So it's not just us Brits that can Whinge

I wouldn't exactly say a position of authority but I do know what's going on and I do have a fair amount of dealings with the councils in the Auckland area. And i'm certainly not a politician but I...

First off, let's get something straight. I wasn't judging you as a person and I wasn't telling you how to live your life. I was simply responding to a comment you made that I thought was...

Thanks. I can't stand that attitude, it drives me insane. If you really want to effect change, you can, it just takes some effort.

Re: So it's not just us Brits that can Whinge

That's possibly the most self-defeating and frankly, stupid, thing i've ever heard. In many cases, such as in a restaurant for example, if you don't complain that the service is poor, the manager...

Re: So it's not just us Brits that can Whinge

Don't be a pillock. If you're going to make sweeping generalisations, at least insert some intelligence into them first.

Re: So it's not just us Brits that can Whinge

Actually, it doesn't. We have about 411 million barrels of oil sitting at P50 status. The stats in the CIA report are as of January 2002. The stats I was quoting are as of July 2005.

Re: So it's not just us Brits that can Whinge

New Zealand Aluminium Smelters, they use a huge amount of electricity. This one facility uses 5.6 TWh of power annually apparently. NZ generates about 36TwH annually... so you do the maths.
