Is that you featuring in the you tube clip"machine gun shoot" ?

Nah - that's just a redneck gun-nut, Percy. To such people, guns are toys.

To survivalists, guns are tools.

I figured something more along these lines for your weapon Strat.



Maybe not quite as quiet as your suggestion, but it could be a lot more fun when there are no enemy in sight.

lol, thats very 1985 Yankiwi so a bit young for my taste

Guitars aint weapons. They are to be loved.
Hitting someone with your axe would be akin to slapping someone about with your wife, girlfriend or children. besides, I hear Hoop can take an eye out at 1000 yards with his ballpoint so no match for that.

That street sweeper looked rather suited to a career in armed hold ups

I thought I would wait until something unexpected happened, YK. I got bored with posting the same old same old "normal" chart week after week.



I now regret revealing my preparations for the coming apocalypse. All too often visionaries are perceived as cranks. As I have previously explained, my approach is to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I have always classed myself as a cynical idealist.
Well-read habitues of this forum will be familiar with this quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald :- “The true test of a first-rate mind is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas at the same time and still function.”

The question is, of course, am I am functioning? I shall make some enquiries.

How much affect will EQC have when they have to sell up to pay out all the Christchurch claims?

How much affect will EQC have when they have to sell up to pay out all the Christchurch claims?

Nil. They hold around $5 billion cash, and from what I remember JK saying, all of their equities are overseas. This makes sense, as it would adversely effect NZ if they had to liquidate quickly, and the fact a major earthquake could put a dampener on the economy too (think Wellington).

All up they have around $15 billion in assets, which is quite impressive given the commission was only set up in the 90's.

[macduffy]

I thought I saw or heard a report to the effect that the EQC doesn't hold any NZ equities?
