| 139963 | 2003-05-08 07:24:00 | Good point Agent - I've become sick of the multitude OT opinions that degenerate into petty squabbles - I'm now making a habit of unchecking the Watch This Topic check-box whenever I post a reply. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 139964 | 2003-05-08 09:35:00 | Agent, I never said the largest city. I did however say the 2nd largest population growth. The first 2 placings are actually taken by Auckland and Manukau, but can anyone tell the difference:p Whoops, sorry but that was last years figures I was looking at.:| Of the 74 territorial authorities, 43 (14 cities and 29 districts) were estimated to have experienced population growth in the year to 30 June 2002. Auckland City recorded the largest increase (12,700), followed by Manukau City (8,900), Christchurch City (4,900), North Shore City (4,700), Waitakere City (4,500), Wellington City (3,500) and Rodney ...... > Even if I'm wrong, you forgot to say whether you were mentioning Auckland > City as the area governed by the Auckland City Council, or Greater Auckland, > ie the area governed by the Auckland Regional Council (goes all the way up past Warkworth, that does). Do I really give a damn, or is this an exercise in futility. > habit of unchecking the Watch This Topic check-box whenever I post a reply. Why reply?:| saves the need for unticking anything. ]:) |

| 139965 | 2003-05-08 11:31:00 | This is an amazingly long thread. A country run so that we have power shortages is a pretty poorly run country. If that bothers you, just persuade your local MP to exhort parliament to ensure electricity is priced at the long run marginal cost of new generating capacity. Additional capacity costs, and someone has to pay for it. Who else but the users? |

I am thoroughly enjoying this thread, thanks mainly to you and radz -- haven't laughed so much since Timmy asked how to partition his hard drive. :D Thanks guys, keep it up. :-) Hey Greg, don't be so serious, mate. ;-) |

I'm sure some were attained which I had not planned for - but expected:p |

| 139969 | 2003-05-09 03:31:00 | Hey Clueless - I'm alittle confused too - I always thought of the West coast as being the West Coast - yet as has been mentioned some of it isn't. In Jan '02 I headed south for a week of 4 wheel driving on the West Coast - the "Base" was a motor camp in Westport (their address stated Westport, Buller) - something when sending a deposit to Seddonville (Buller). Pardon me if I'm wrong - but my impression now is that everything north of the Buller river is considered Buller ?:| |
