  • Hard News: The Whankernui Factor,

    To be precise, getting serious, you can't take them.

    I can take them, you mark my words, I know Karachi you know. Chop them down with the edge of my hand.

  • Hard News: The March for Democracy,

    Hide and his Mates Intend to Steal 1/3 of New Zealand
    This is so wrong I can't let it slide.
    Not only is the Dancing Fool trying to stack the vote with the "Landed Gentry" and the change in the method of voting, from STV to FPP (locked in for 2 elections) He also wants all the assets.

    When it comes to our public assets, then we see why Minister Hide wants less democracy in Auckland. Hide will appoint the initial directors to the boards that control our water, transport and other utilities.

    Maybe it's time for us to march or, at least, pay attention to what is happening to our largest City. This is not just about Auckland, this is the thin end of the wedge.
    Time to stand up and be counted.

  • Hard News: The Whankernui Factor,

    Personally I would have liked the whole (wole?) thing to have been left to History as one of those anachronisms.
    "Grandad, why does the river have a different spelling to the town?"
    "Well boy, that is an interesting story"
    Rather than just another divisive load of bollocks because, no disrespect to anybody, when a culture has no written language the argument is, purely, academic, surely?.
    Since when was the English language phonetic?.

    <ducks for cover, again>

  • Up Front: Because You Are Wonderful,…,

    Ah yes. Apparently the Universe is composed, mainly, of dark Sarcasm but as the holiday season is upon us I think I must reiterate some of the above wisdom. Don't sweat the petty stuff but as it's Summer, feel free to pet the sweaty stuff. I, for one, will not be holding back on the festive nature of being.

  • Hard News: It is your right and duty to vote,

    Education Minister Anne Tolley says she will sack the boards of primary schools which allow teachers to boycott national standards, saying they would be refusing to obey the law.

    Now she is beginning to sound like judge Dread, or is that Judge Mental?.

    Unfortunately he catches skinks.

    Apparently you can get special pouches to keep them safe in your underwear.

  • Hard News: It is your right and duty to vote,

    What would I know about what the mass of people think? Was I among the quarter of the population of Greater Auckland (it must be true, because the papers said so) that converged on The Domain for Christmas in the Park?

    We are the masses, we are part of the 75% who didn't go to Comercialarse in the park.

    Oh, I don't know: could paleogism be the new word of the year?

    Dinosaur Spoof?

    Friends don't let friends text drunk.

    Friends don't let friends eat birds.

    I just wish Colin would nail one of those friggin' awful Australian mynahs that have begun to wake us up with their squabbling again.

    Yeah, those damned mynahs squabbling over the natural Resources that rightfully belong to the damn natives. I remember the mynahs strike of '72... oh hang on...
