I would be following this very closely if I were you.

I think the whole thing is a joke and dont understand the WHO reasoning.
Did this person have acute symptoms of covid prior to being shot? Shouldnt this be clear cut enough to even bother with any "investigation"?
I cant find anything to back this up, but it appears they felt he was linked to a covid case, so the body was tested anyway.
I know of a similar case from a friend in the USA where this particular person died in a car accident, but has been marked as a covid death and as a result does not qualify for a life insurance payout.

Has anyone received any Countdown Bricks yet? 
I shop online and 2 weeks running ordered the bricks - should have been entitled to 7 each week but order came with "Countdown Bricks Out of stock" on the packing slip.

They shouldn't be Out of Stock already surely, as the promotion only started on 4 November.
If you are getting them please let me know which stores have them. Thanks.

So here's my one for the day:

"Pregnant people"

Wtf is that?  The ONLY creature who can get pregnant is a female WOMAN.  As far as I'm aware.

Anyone also got a bit of 'Pc' crap they'd like to share?

Morning All...

This poll is open to any registered user. If you know other users please encourage them to check in here and vote.

We have a great list of user submitted names - your mission is to choose your THREE favourites.

TMMB admin will then select the final from those three.  
(We opted for this approach to retain a measure of control over the final outcome) 

The more votes we get the better the poll will be...

Remember we are looking for...
- Simple, catchy and easy to remember. 
- essentially a brand name. 

Think about how it would sound in a sentence if you were telling someone about it...


Many thanks...

We are getting close to the poll for our new message board name.  It will likely be run over this coming long weekend, so make sure you drop by - the more votes we get the better the result will be.

The format will most likely be a poll of all users which will select the top three candidate names.  After which the owner/admin/moderators will select the final name.

Thanks for being a part of this, we appreciate your input... 

TMMB Admin

The Trademe message boards are closing on the 15th, could be a good chance to let people know about TMMB before it does!

Definitely not advocating spamming, but a few sneaky plugs can't hurt

"Discovery has announced it will launch two new free-to-air channels, Gusto and Rush, as well as a new Newshub Live at 8pm bulletin and AM Early show in 2022.

The news was unveiled as part of programming plans that will see Discovery, which owns Newshub, increase its local content by 70 percent as well as expanding its news offerings and transforming its on demand service, ThreeNow.

New Zealand's fourth primary free-to-air channel Gusto will launch in March 2022, taking over from the former Choice TV. The channel will air local and international titles such as Changing Rooms UK and Kiwi production Great Southern Truckers, as well as the new Newshub Live at 8pm bulletin."

I received this camera today , a Kowaflex. This is a single lens reflex camera, with a shutter in the lens, made in 1960. This type of camera tends to be unreliable, and cameras made by Kowa are doubly so. The mechanism is complex, and needs regular maintenance, which most don't get.

   

I have removed the top and bottom covers, and separated the camera body from the mirror and lens assembly. On this camera, the shutter does not operate correctly, and the capping plate, which covers the film gate when the camera is cocked, does not move to the correct position.

The camera body

They behaved. 
Hate to have to take out the tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets to quell the filthy, unclean, virus spreading ASPD's from going on the rampage.
Now this blak sack of socially spastic scumbags want to block up the freeways and cause mayhem in some vainglorious act of social unrest to forcibly assert their will on us. The very same thing they are protesting against. 
Collectively dumber than a shovel.

I hope they are met with the strongest possible resistance and prosecuted to the full letter of the law.

TMMB are looking for photos that you may have taken on your NZ travels. Particularly anything iconic, and that can be used on this board (with your permission) , for the new galleries. Preferably nothing that has come off the internet, so as to not breach any copyright/reproduction (and whatever else) rules.

If you would love to share some of your photos, that would be awesome. How great would it feel, to really be a part of this messageboard, to see your photos being shared.

kiwi1 or nzoomed might be able to give more light onto what they want, but you can check out the "New TMMB homepage" thread in General Discussion, to ask any questions you might have.

There is a thread in "Tips and tricks" for "Adding images and other attachments to posts" which will show you how to do it.

Thanks.
