Motorcyclists cost $XXmillion but we only collect X, or statements like M/c are 16 times more likely to be in accident, or Motorists subsidise M/c by X$ , well so they should its Motor car drivers who cause much of it. Or how about the statement its older riders fault, Read the rest of this entry »

Isnt that just typical, John Keys National Government introduces ACC Levys (read TAXES) on a small group in the community just because they ride large motorcycles, ie, they charge by the cc. ridiculas really when u think that they will collect maybe 5 million which they could save by cutting the exorbitant salaries they pay ACC staff (totally incompetent Managers) and the ACC bludgers that keep them in existence.

This is a simple poem but it says a lot. I wrote this for a friend.
You want someone who
Sees you for the first time everyday
You want someone who
Makes you feel special in everyway
You want someone who
Points out the stars and sunrise, special times
You want someone who
Shares the holy light, as their magic shines

After being made redundant from work on the 6th of April and unsuccessfully looking in the North Island for another job, the decision was made to accept our sons invitation to stay with him and look for work in Southland.

A good friend of mine started writing a book about the struggles and tragedies of growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1960′s, 70′s and 80s… I have been assisting her in small ways.
