Yeah, that was straight up heavy petting.

And yeah, failing to follow the instructions of a flight attendant or captain is a serious offence.

Best I can do is the end of the month.

The second sinking sounds like a salvage operation gone wrong, so not likely to be the same group of people.

You’d think the landlord party would be more receptive to owning something outright.

If it can also do the job of a regular tug, one would hope it would be a net income.

It’s likely going to be a long time before any substantial updates come out of the investigation.

I’m kinda over how every story about this guy also includes a recap of the entire saga right from the start, despite there being updates every few days.

You’d think he’d have stolen some rubbish bags.

Also another update regarding what sounds like another campsite. It sounds like pretty bleak living conditions for the kids, with rubbish scattered all around.

The kids will know who it was, I’d be fascinated to know how they feel about Tom after all this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the kids see through his behaviour, they can be a lot more perceptive than we realise.

I already posted that one.

That’s a very kind way of putting it.

I’d love to know what his reasoning was behind what he did.

Absolute goober.

Modern vehicles have GPS calibrated speedometers, and are often dead on. But for an electronic speedo, there’s no excuse for more than a few percent.

Quite remarkable seeing her criticise John Key, he’s typically been held in very high regard by the party.

A speedometer that far out is effectively useless, and if I bought a vehicle like that I’d take it up with the dealer.

So yes, Seymour might not have even been speeding.

I’ve seen almost 10% out, checked against a GPS app on my phone, so almost 110 on the speedo to travel at 100 actual.

I’ve actually fitted tyres a size bigger than recommended to get a speedo to read accurately.

Only one of them is actually committing a ticketable offence though, as a speedo reading isn’t accurate enough to issue a ticket.

It looks like a Toyota, they’re pretty notorious for having inaccurate speedometers. He was probably doing closer to 95.

They really should, it would be hilarious.
