1168633	2011-01-12 18:39:00	Have we ever had such a flood or could we get one here in NZ ? Any one know if we have ever had such an event here in NZ. I know we had some major floods in the Manawatu a few years ago and some big ones in Greymouth and Queenstown. But have we ever had or could we ever have such a flood, where huge areas and whole towns are flooded ? I mean last year here in Tauranga it rained just about every day during the winter (that's what it seemed like). And that is what has caused the Queensland floods, day after day of rain. Or are we just too narrow a country for this to happen?	Digby (677)

Until water is going flowing around your knees its a non-issue. That said, It will be interesting to see if the river-walls I helped build along the Brisbane river have been affected, be a shame to see them collapse again. Plenty of blood,sweat and backache went into building them, of course the rest of the crew being skippy poofs didn't help. The error seem to be in its lack of height	Cicero (40)

"La nina" is much more accurately translated as "little girl", or just "girl". It looks like they've just opened up a Spanish dictionary and taken a literal translation of each word in the phrase.	johcar (6283)
1168640	2011-01-17 08:25:00	I do have to wonder about all the Kiwis that have moved to Australia and take advantage of the so called better wages etc. It would appear that not all are eligible for Aussie Govt help and Phil Goff says the Aussie Govt should come to the party and cough up. There are approx 500,000 kiwis there and I for one suggest they all come back bringing their expertise with them. home.nzcity.co.nz	Snorkbox (15764)
