  1. I am from NZ living in Thailand. I can make a comparison between NZ, Aust. and Thailand.

    NZ is cheaper than Aust. Thailand is cheaper than NZ.

     But like both our countries Thailand is getting more expensive too.

    Still cheaper than both of our countries.

    Most countries in the world are getting more expensive.

    I think there is good chance you will survive here.

    Some advice. Don’t lose sight of your pension though.

  2. Unfortunately my digestive system can no longer handle red meat.  Don't think I don't miss it.  Even if I had a lean 125g steak I would be rolling on the floor in pain the next day.  The stuff takes at least 3 days before it exits the other end, and in my case it will not be a fun time.  My main source of protein is poultry and seafood.  I have the perverse fantasy of if a doctor told me I had ten days to live I would survive them on bbq ribs, any kind of meats and desserts I want, and opioids to ease the pain.  Oh, and Cialis!  :biggrin:
     
    When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had to learn how to control it, within those first six months I probably ate more vegetables than I had in all the previous years of my adult life.
    For you guys who are able to eat meat (bas-tards all!) my advice is to learn about adding fiber to your intake.  Hint: a few digestive biscuits with the morning coffee doesn't cut it.  The old saying about an apple a day is more valid than you might think; at Tesco I've bought some good ones imported from Oz, NZ and S. Africa.  The US apples seem to be improving from their "tree-grown potatoes" reputation, just avoid the "Delicious" variety.
     
     

    Royal Gala apples from NZ are the best.

  3. I think you meant lamb where NZ is world class. I would dump steak and survive on little butterfly lamb chops but they are expensive

    I had some NZ lamb last week which I bought at Macro. They have legs, ones shoulder and chops.
    I did enjoy it but prefer beef. NZ products.
    I have seen NZ beef steak at some Tops Supermarkets.

  4. It sounds like if a guy next to you built a two story house you would be forced into moving because your privacy is supposedly being invaded. If you do not already realize it, that is unreasonable. People can see into other people's backyards and other spaces in all sorts of situations. There are things on earth higher than your fence, sorry to break it to you. People can go onto these things legally, again, sorry to break news to you that should be known already. 
     
    Camera equipment is surveillance equipment. Isn't it clear what you are saying? That we should ban camera equipment now too. 
     
    I see you did not answer why tall buildings can be erected, if being able to view others' property is such a violation. Why not! Because there is no answer! Mystery solved. 
     
    Bottom line, equipment exists that people will be able to see you with, even from far away. Telescopes, binoculars, video and photo equipment, parabolic mics. Hell, there are even laser mics that operate off of vibrations from your window now! All I am saying, is if you want to ban drones, you better be for banning it all. And since we know that is a very dubious position, we can deduce you are probably not on very firm ground with your argument. Because in my estimation, drones are loud and have wide angle lenses and are not very adept at actually spying or invading anyone's privacy (unless you are way too paranoid I mean). 
     
    And, nobody cares! Most all these complaints are from people sitting in their backyard and a drone flew by. Unless you have a wife who looks like a victoria secret catalogue model, and she likes to lay out in the backyard and sunbath, I am betting nobody cares about you. They are just flying a drone. Guaranteed, 100% this is 99.9% of the cases or more, paranoid people who have no business being paranoid at all. Privacy argument debunked. Next, drone noise pollution... i think that is firmer ground to stand on in that debate. 

    I agree. As to drone noise. The drone I have is very quiet.

  5. What has that question got to do with this subject.
    Go back and get excited with whichever toy takes your fancy!
     
    PS; I don't think TV allows me to download a file as large as my log books etc!
    You said you were a pilot.
    I didn’t ask.
    I only asked what aircraft you had been rated for and where.
    Simple question.
    Nothing about wanting to see log books.

  6. What is restricted in my definition? 
    You are either a qualified pilot or you are not!
    You say you hold a valid licence and ratings etc therefore you are a pilot. 
    As I no longer maintain any ratings or licences for any type of aircraft (including boys toys!) as such, I cannot 'Pilot an aircraft', therefore I cannot call myself a pilot.    What is the problem with those definitions?

    What aircraft did you have ratings for and where did you fly?
