| 882779 | 2010-05-06 22:59:00 | Psh, nothing wrong with smoking - its cheaper than food and does the same job too ;) I don't think so, at $14 for a 20 pack that is a lot more than food costs. On those figures my family of four adults eat really well at an individual cost of less than a half a pack a day. We sure don't spend $200 a week on food. All the fruit and veges we can eat costs less than $50 a week, and a $250 monthly (quality) meat buy works out at a pitiful sum per day (less than $10 per meal for four adults). Groceries add a decent lump but our total food costs are still less than one pack of cigs per day per person. Smoking is a free choice, usually made by people with a death wish or those who don't know any better. A few don't care either way and that's ok too, provided they don't smoke around me, expect me to pay their medical bills, winge about the cost of their poison, or bleat that they can't afford food. :crying Cheers Billy 8-{) :annoyed: |

| 882780 | 2010-05-06 23:05:00 | Ah yes, but not if you buy rollies. About $29 for 30g, papers, and filters - and you can get about 70 out of that. |

| 882781 | 2010-05-06 23:18:00 | 70 from 30 gram would be a blardy thin rolly. In the short time you sucked it out you would need to fire up another one to keep the nicotine addiction satisfied. It astonishes me and it takes a lot to astonish me how someone could bring themselves to hand over 30 big ones for 30 grams of weed. The only reason I can think of is the people are mildly retarded |

| 882783 | 2010-05-06 23:31:00 | @Prefect. I have no idea of the market for "P" as in current prices but I'm fairly sure it's heaps per gram. The aproximate price is $1,000 per gram when I last looked but people still buy same and usually have to steal to support their habit. Also I thought this was a thread about slack IRD practice rather than smoking. The IRD are fast enough if you owe them money and can even extract direct from your bank account. Pity we can't do the same to them. |

If one was really mischievous, one might supply the IRD bank account number to a 419 scammer.. :D But you'd probably need to exit NZ pretty quick, with no intention of returning... |

| 882788 | 2010-05-07 12:02:00 | Ok, so I went down to the IRD to get my return, since I lost my job, according to my calculation I overpaid my taxes and student loan by several thousand. Now, I was told "sorry, we can't do anything about that. You gotta wait till july or august thats when we do all our calculation that's when you can get your money back". Now this is really annoying. I am not a bloody dole eating scum - I have been unemployed since September last year, I have not asked for bloody a cent. Since I am under 24, turns out I ain't eligible for Student Allowance since apparently my parents make too much ( I would get like 80$ a week - which is bullshit, and no they don't make all that much). It's not like my parents support, pay for my carp or anything. But the government says no, I say fine. I'll take the damned Student Living Costs (160 a week which I gotta pay back - barely covers rent). I ain't a criminal, I ain't bottom feeding scum, I just want my money, that I was wrongly charged by the government. And they tell me to **** off and come back in a few months. I'm running out of money, I have 20$ left in my account right now. All I know is IRD owes me money, I know Kiwisaver owes me money. The IRD tells me to wait and starve to death, ASB Kiwisaver tells me since I am studying most it's not a "significant financial hardship". I have no gas left, I have half a pack of smokes. And enough food till maybe sunday. What am I supposed to do? Ironically, if I wasn't studying I could go and ask for a ****ing hand out, I am studying so I can't even ask for that (which I wouldn't do anyway). All I want is MY MONEY BACK. Is that so damned hard? I am sure if I owed the IRD money, I'd have 22 of their agents on my ass trying to extract it from me via the infamous method called "anal rape". So yeah, life sucks. IRD sucks too. Why do they say I can get my returns if I actually can't? Lying bastards. I'm going to go and cut myself to make me feel better about myself. /rant Boo Hoo - go see Mum and Dad. |
