RE:RE:RE:NZ PM talking about oil in Taranaki.Sad but true Weeble. Us Kiwis can be very negative and then there is "Tall Poppy Syndrome". That means anybody who makes a success in life is fair game for those who don't. I found out the hard way when I was a 20 year old self employed commission agent that was making plenty in the 1980s. I went out and brought a brand new car and sales dropped off immediately. I sold the new car within six months and got an old banger and Voilà, reverse sociology in full action, I was making more than ever. Sad but true.
