    Gissa job!

    the construction industry need you. can you pick up 20 kgs. where a full one'zees,( glasses, hard hat, boots , gloves hiviz.. speak Chinese, say yes m8, you would be perfect ..
  3. the manukau bar changes on a regular bases you would have to dredge on a weekly / monthly bases. The Waitamata is yearly at the moment. health and safety would have two different senrioes east coast has no bar crossing and would be ezyer to manage. West coast 1). narrow entrance. 2). 4-6 meter swells. . regularly 3). wind and your ship is 399m long 59m wide and a draft of 14.5 m
  4. OK, lets start with the manukau harbour. here's a pic of the entrance. you'll have to use the north channel as the south is to shallow how will you deal with the north channel bar. it's about 10m at low tide and 2.5 km wide. the ships are Triple E class 399m long 59m wide have a draft of 14.5m carry 20000 containers. May as well do the big one if were moving the container terminal. what sort of health and safety plan would you have in place in the event of a disaster ( they happen just look at the Rena )
  5. option 1 ) so a hundred years ago they pictured ships 399m long 59 m wide and a draft of 14.5 m. 2500 containers per ship. Nope. this is the future , right. Hong Kong , China, Singapore flattered Islands or just made land , we cant do that. Option 2) even with your figures WHY would you put this on the tracks. you have unloading times, storage areas and so on. To far wrong place. option 3) the firth of Thames is the best bet. Its in the golden triangle , Auckland , Hamilton , Tauranga. lots of land and deep water. Option 4) move the Navy to Whangarei free up Devonport and turn it in to a car yard for import's.
  6. Ron, Sam, Dutch what ever your name is today, your options must be challenged ... option 1, the Manukau harbour is never going to be an option that's why the cement boats have stopped . the channel can only be entered at high tide or the bigger ships carrying 2000 plus contains will ground. not to mention turn around area restriction with other ships ( the LPG one for starters). Option 2 will never work. A) the trains would be 24 km long for each ship unload 2000 x 40 foot container = 80000 feet or 24km Option 3 we are nuke free here
  7. yes it is a problem. Combining it is a bigger problem too, Waikaraka Park run a top notch line up, full grids. Where do they expect to fit in... midget, tq's
  8. I live 3km from waikaraka as the crow fly's , when the wind blows my way we get it . when there is concerts at Mt smart we get it. I'm all for people having fun, but the move into "my area" so they can is wrong. it's not just the noise but the parking, traffic control/management. and what's to say that they wont close that down in the future
  9. maybe they where wondering why she was on the out side and not part of the herd.
  10. when you have a city with 1.5 million people and traveling time from one side to the other can take the best part of 1.5 hrs . Millennial see open green areas as the perfect place to build and sporn. just look at the mt Albert housing development , LOL 4000 houses no roads, bike lanes and no one to build them . Pie in the sky stuff. but what do you expect from a Sheila up the duff. I cant help but thinking there is a deeper issue here at play I drought it will ever be a cricket ground
  11. they just put on more concerts. Ed has just had 3
  12. there's a guy around I forget his name labelled it Fake News
  13. That is journalism to a tee these days, credible news reporting is all but a thing of the past.
  14. is there way of finding out what happened like an incident report.

    Quick rant thread.

    I've had this happen to me recently, I rang them to let them know I'm on my way down to pick up item. That's when I found out it wasn't even for me. Not even anyone in my street or even " burb" . I put it down to laziness.

    E46 M3 project

    commit take the plunge. leap, no regrets
  19. do you not have aircon
  20. fusion energy is where its at. cars will be powered for life and you will pay only for your kms. no petrol stations you either prepay like road users or your car will be tracked by GPS and sent a bill for your kms. maybe 50 years away but that's where it heading
