Oh ffs what did you do now..........honda ct110 postie bike - another licker gets to have a go - sold

[Parky]

Zen man, zen.  Four people in the same office all getting involved because of their stupid work patterns is a recipe for disaster.  In a few days it will be on the HMS Royal Dutchman headed for Blighty by way of the Suez Canal

In the meantime, $2200, Nelson Bays....

Or $1000 in Taranaki.  Worth it for the Seat alone

 

[hairnet]

Stoppit bad man

I discounted the yellow version (cross cub scarily 2014 plate,)

Because small wheels ( twat to ride - like a Vespa) and the fact they wanted nearly 4k for it

I fuggin hate bastardized c90s ( sorry)

[hairnet]

excellent marketing

something you cannot buy officially but you then dont put a price on it

(i know how much they want)

Like a leprechaun's lavvy seat. 🤣

[Parky]

Got your paperwork ready to roll,, as soon as floaty thing heads away I will post it straight over.

Hopefully starting work soon.  Had fourth interview for public trust yesterday and fifth one for the Police next week.  Have given up on the financial advisor angle because nobody will give me a job, and what’s more there are few “advisors” anyway.  Most are commissioned salespeople and I don’t want to do that.  Complete waste of $6000 and six months of my life eh?
 

Might set up a sideline as managing agent for folk shipping stuff from NZ to the U.K.!

 

[somewhatfoolish]

Worth a look, there's a fair bit of old british shite that's at least superficially cheaper in NZ than the UK, as well as weird JDM shite that never made it over here.

[Parky]

That’s true.  Fancy owning the only Toyota Raum on your street?  Of course you do

[Parky]

Postie Bike is supposed to be travelling around the world on the Rio Madeira

Phwoar!  What a scorcher!

Rio has left Lyttelton here in Christchurch and I think is going South to Dunedin before heading off god knows where.  

So with my work done I went to the Post Office to send over the papers and shiz only to discover the Post Office doesn’t do posting and stuff at the weekends.  Am half expecting them to close half day on Wednesdays as well....

That could turn out well or be a pain in the ass.

Have seen pictures of brilliant British chod over in N.Z, which if shipper over (minus fees) could turn a tidy sum. 

If you ever come across any mad Russian cars or bikes - Give me a shout 😅

 

Good luck with the interviews 

[Parky]

Will be a pain in the ass.  As Hairnet will testify the various folk involved all need their palms crossed with silver and much paperwork for every step.

Maybe if I owned my own container I could ship Rust free Austin 1100’s back to Blighty and bring shedloads of Mannol oil products back here to sell online?  

Russian stuff?  Fancy this for £4500 with Toyota diesel conversion?  Being sold by user Bj13 which suggests both good and bad luck in one username.  Something about the duality of man no doubt....
 

[hairnet]

might if it was 4500 kiwi

the engine swap thing is very common for odd/euro stuff in australasia

was looking at E12 bmw in thai that had had a toyota six put in it :D

 

[83C]

This is ace. 

Don't mind me, just off to trademe for a browse...

[hairnet]

dont do that

i did that

 

[Parky]

Definitely don’t look up 1972 Nissan Datsun GX Coupe, 1983 Renault Other, Or 1990 Austin Montego

Montego will probably be just as terrible as a UK car except undoubtedly a lot less rusty

[Sir Chocolate Teapot]

Is it here yet !

[hairnet]

well its on the boat anyway

boat left friday (i knew that)

crate is on it (i didnt know that) nice of them to tell me (shouldnt have to be chasing them ffs)

when i spoke to them an hour and a half ago 🙄

[Saabnut]

Please change the title to the original artists - Sutherland Brothers Band - not that pseudo plastic tartan twat stewart (small s)  

[hairnet]

Lmfao never knew that

This is better

 

[hairnet]

Although the way they've been dealing with it it should be this

 

[hairnet]

this Stewart ok

[Parky]

The theme tune for this racket should probably be the Steptoe and Son theme.  Or the Family Guy tuba symphony

Kiwi types would probably prefer “Six months in a leaky boat”

[Parky]

Supposed to be headed to an interview for a job with the Police.  

Sadly I can’t leave the house as there is a full on raid taking place on the house opposite and our road is closed.  Shots have been fired.  At the moment there are around a dozen armed response officers crouched down at various points of his property and parked cars outside.   Eugene is going to be an ex Eugene soon.  Shame, I liked him.  Stupid bastard.

This is rural New Zealand.  You never used to find this sort of thing happening in South Essex

Blimey.

Do hope you're able to get another interview date. 

Stay safe !

[hairnet]

go and help you might get the job

is kiwi tv that bad

i read that as rant not raid oops

 

[Parky]

Made it to the interview.  Tough but ok.  Explained I had just made it because there was an armed raid opposite my house and the Inspector said “Ah, that would be Oxford.  The guy had an outstanding warrant for a firearms offence so we went to get him.  It was two shots you heard?  That would be the tear gas”

Silly Eugene.  Mind you he does do a nice job of fixing up Commodores.  Thinking about it, @STUNO do you need any Commodore bits?  There is a possibility one of my neighbours might not be around much......

STUNO won't but I might! Looking for a subframe/K Frame for a VB Commodore, to accept a 308 motor. I'm sure there's plenty more on my list but that's the stickler for the moment.

Let's hope that any tazering administered was nice and gentle...

And good luck with the job hunting! Fingers crossed on today's interview outcome.

[Parky]

Well as it stands:

Canterbury District Health Board May be offering a casual contract to help administer the Covid 19 programme

Awaiting NZ Police Communicator role confirmation

Down to final 2 with the Public Trust (the one I want)

Financial Advisor role still ongoing - they seem to think it’s all go despite me stating my serious concerns and to be honest the only way I will make on it is by selling product even when inappropriate which is going to lead to compromising ethics.  I won’t do that.

Westpac need staff but again I can’t be arsed doing a two minute video Highlighting how great I am and how much fun I will bring to the team.  I’m a highly trained seasoned professional, not a fucking antipodean Timmy fucking Mallett.  I might just send in a Ray Winstone style vid saying “Gimme the job you muppets.  I will come in, work hard, and leave when the shifts over.  What more do you want?  A biscuit?”
