I went to a physio for a twisted ankle, and was informed there was nothing that they could do with it, then they booked me in for three more appointments, I told them I wasn't coming back if there was nothing they could do, was then told they would inform ACC I refused treatment. WTF? Seriously.WTF? |

| 819236 | 2009-10-12 00:48:00 | What bad investments? The sharemarket went down and has now recovered. The ACC investment team usually outperformed the other funds so their recovery may have been better than average. Rubbish, it is nowhere near back to what it was. Look at telecom, ackland airport, rakkon, ryman, vector, fletcher, all are well below what they were. ACC has lost a lot of our money, gambling on the NZ sharemarket |

| 819237 | 2009-10-12 01:01:00 | Maybe someone forgot something... The biggest of ACC's customers are people who hurt themselves playing sports. Maybe someone could dig up some statistics so we can have a look and see what percentage are from sport-related injuries. That'll be the biggest shocker in there. It's one thing when a guy falls off the roof by accident (NOT NEGLIGENCE - that is something else entirely) but a totally different thing when I guy goes out to play rugby and hurts his back... Or some a$$hole who decides to drive drunk, ends up a cripple (or cripples someone) and the rest of us pay. Physio has become a joke. 5 sessions for a twisted ankle? I think not. Yes I think sport injuries are almost self inflicted, as you will always get injured eventally. They should at least have to pay higher pemiums, due to the high risk. How about that guy with no legs, who climbed everest. He came back to NZ and required heaps of medical attention on his stumps, and that was self inflicted. |

| 819238 | 2009-10-12 01:15:00 | I wonder how much the pyshio bill is, maybe they could email you a utube type pyshio vid and you could do the pyshio at home. The total cost would be to pay 1 person say $12.00 a hour to send out the email |

| 819239 | 2009-10-12 04:43:00 | Im with you a 100% Cato. When I was a young fella involved in a risky sport we took out insurance either weekly or monthly (Cant remember which) but a guy used to come around work and sign us up and collect the premium. Home accidents, work accidents, fine. Engaging in known risk sports like mountain climbing and rugby to name a few. No way. |

| 819241 | 2009-10-12 05:28:00 | Anyone remember of the case where there was a guy who claimed ACC for injuries he said prevented him from doing any physical work, but got video taped chopping wood? Well, hang those kinds of people and exhibit their carcasses to other would-be bludgers. Oughta do the trick! |

| 819243 | 2009-10-12 06:56:00 | Only good Bradford was the van made by Jowett. My god ! What have you been drinking? Does it glow in the dark? ;) As I recall it made a good cement vibrator, but only briefly.The Lucas was the good bit of the Bradford. The engine appears to have been made along the lines of an inferior compressor as fabricated by a high school cooking class. Possibly the best thing was that bits of the body fell off as the engine power reduced, keeping the power-to-weight ratio pretty steady at 0.001:1 while the brakes improved rapidly to approach pathetic. They were recipients of many humorous pranks in hotel car parks, but none of these could approach the one which resulted in the owner buying it. Probably one of the last vehicles made that would have benefited from borer treatment. Of course, by comparison with politicians of the same name, they look good viewed through the bottom of a whisky bottle, but then the same comparison makes almost anything look bright. |
