shopped.

I'm pretty sure this is a *dupe. Yeah, I think I've seen this before.

so to neatly summarise both poolcleaner and robbersdog:

Finish it!!!!!

Pharmac (go look it up) here in NZ has a big part to play in our overall lower health costs for medicines.

It's a crown owned entity that works out what drug is the best for a particular purpose and then says, "hey big pharma wanna have all the NZ'ers get cured of shitty disease x with your magic pill number 4? Well then gives us the generic brand and here's what we will pay." And then drives a sweet deal for all us kiwis.

It's that big of a thing that it's upset all the corporate fuckers that are driving the whole Trans Pacific fuck the little guy Partnership.

Then there is the ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) - It's not perfect by any means. But say for example you are playing football on the weekend and your blow your hamstring, well you rock on up to the local A&E, afterhours or medical centre etc, pay a fee of around $30-50nz, get checked over, if you need xrays/scans these maybe fully subsidised or again you may have to pay up to $50-80, get cheapo drugs from the pharmacy (thanks Pharmac) and go home and put your feet up. You're in the system now buddy!

Now have to put your foot up at home for the next 4 weeks, - what about work? I gotta get paid dog!! Don't worry homie ACC has got your back.

If your claim is approved (they pay first and ask questions later, after all you need to get better) you'll be paid 80% of your income while your at home working on your TV tan! ACC was created for workplace injuries, but falling of the ladder home still gets covered.

ACC works by all employers paying into the scheme via levies based on your wage/salary, also the higher risk of injury the workplace is the higher the levy the employer has to pay.

The pay off for ACC is that no-one is allowed to be sued. The govt will drop the hammer on the company, you get looked after by ACC. This has caused the odd issue here and there but overall. Sweet!

Disclaimer - This may all be a complete bunch of ass, but it's pretty close to the way it is.

if you listen you can here them calling "man overboard!" (two guys went over), but then the good old kiwi attitude prevails... "nah nah... keep going!". Awesome!

btw...these guys are getting up to 45-50 knots, or close to 60mph, that's 92kmh. I don't think sailboat or yacht applies anymore.

FIFY

Be more Duck!!!!

upvote for message!

downvote for stupid fucking Fahrenheit.

I really hope in 500 years time when humans are exploring other solar systems shit doesn't get measured in Fahrenheit and Feet. That would be depressing.

*dead

Only in Australia and New Zealand can you call someone a c*nt and make the other person feel proud!

I didn't know Kenny G was big in Guangzhou

I'm pretty sure Trance was referring to the XBone.

fuckin a!

Now do the southern border!!! That would be much more exciting, the shootings, the drug trafficking, the dying of dehydration, the fence, the lack of fence, the fence with holes, the towers, the net migration of zero as mexicans move back home as the US economy keeps tanking, you know fun stuff!!!!
