The PM had a much publicised booster shot last week.
Now it's hiding self isolating because it was near a possible Covid carrier.
I was under the impression that the vaccine was supposed to ensure people could return to their normal lives - or is it simply to bolster the profit margin at Pfizer?
Cooked, spiced Peanuts
Total cooking time 39 minutes
Total preparation including cooking approx 45 minutes
Cooked in 18L air fryer but works in larger unit (I've also used 30L air roaster successfully) and probably (I can see no reason it won't) in smaller unit.
500gm peanuts preferably skin on but blanched works.
1 Tbs olive oil for blanched peanuts, 1/2 Tbs olive oil for skin on.
Mix: 1 Tbs Salt
1Tbs powdered Chippotle
1tsp Cumin
1tsp Coriander
1tsp mustard seeds - crushed (optional)
1tsp Celery Seeds - crushed
Mix should do 3 or 4 lots of peanuts if kept in small seal-able container.
Heat peanuts 12 minutes, 145C I use ring-type sponge dish.
Add Olive oil, stir thoroughly to coat peanuts, return to cooking dish and heat again for 12 minutes at 145C.
Add mix to taste (I like about 1/3rd of mix per batch) making sure you spread over all peanuts by stirring nuts while adding.
Heat 9 minutes at 145C, stir thoroughly and heat for 6 minutes again at 145C.
Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Serve or store - will keep for a week or so in sealed container unless I get at them first.
I eat a small ramekin (about 2 Tbs) daily and they certainly keep me regular.
The Headline:
For what?
Russia appears guilty of moving it's own troops within it's own country, helping, militarily, an ally who asked for that help and then, when things were settled, buggering off home again and having a rather popular (within Russia) leader.
Russia is also attempting to persuade Ukraine that it's joining NATO would be a mistake and probably carry some rather serious consequences for the area (and indeed, the world).
International wanna-be warmongers, notably deeply unpopular within their own countries, are sabre rattling.
It is rather obvious the reason for this sabre-rattling is nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with internal problems within (particularly) the USA and Britain.
Now Gerry Brownlee, ex-MP for one of the safest blue seats in New Zealand until a brain-dead communist sheila defeated him is, on behalf of his party, demanding New Zealand "sanction" Russia.
New Zealand has serious problems with the most corrupt Government in it's history, has very serious inflation and a massive economic problem because that Government is intent on destroying any once-viable industry in the country as well as the Government introduction of apartheid to New Zealand but National, in the form of Gerry Brownlee, are worried about bloody Russia.
Given also the recent elevation of a schoolteacher-like tosser to leadership are National deliberately trying to avoid election to the treasury benches?
.... or a potentially lost pay packet?
With the UK and the sensible part of the USA removing mask requirements the manufacturers have lost a large part of their market.
At exactly this time the most corrupt government New Zealand has ever seen, a publicity-hungry Otago schoolteacher and the mask manufacturers are urging an increase in mask usage.
Coincidence?
I notice the dictatorship pushing even harder the untested non-vaccine.
Every report from real doctors (i.e. non-experts) state that the vaccine is unnecessary for the very mild Omicron and, if administered, doesn't work.
Does someone miss out on their bonus if the public wake up to the uselessness and probable danger of this "vaccine" and refuse to get endless "boosters"?
Meatloaf has died.
He was 74.
I first saw Meatloaf (I had previously heard and enjoyed his music) in the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie.
That turned me into a fan.
Meatloaf's voice had gone, production had finished and he had retired (many, many times).
He had lived life as a hard man, abused royalty and generally made watchers smile.
His legacy will be do exactly that, to make people smile when they remember him, whether singing, acting or acting up.
RIP Meatloaf.
It seems that one of the NZ Rail ferries across Cook Straight is broken and will take some time to fix. A broken gear box.
I can understand Kiwi Rail being a bit concerned by the loss of business but surely the rest of New Zealand needn't be worried.
Last year we were, as a country, assured that maori in canoes had travelled to Antarctica so moving a bit of freight across a body of water so small an untrained maori sheila (we are also assured, maori tales being a literal and completely factual account of events before he awful white man forced things like a written language on them) swam across it (for a shag?) should be child's play for our brown betters.
As the only business allowed to operate in new New Zealand is maori business we should just stand back and watch how it's done, marvel at the alacrity, efficiency and engineering.
Hone and co. will have everything humming in no time at all.
For the last few weeks the front page of every "news" site in New Zealand have dutifully reported that Omicron-positive people have been moving about in the community and naming "places of interest" they have visited.
Many of those places are high-volume of visitors-type places (supermarkets, highstreet restaurants etc.).
Omicron is, according to the same "news" outfits, extremely contagious.
Yet not a single "outbreak" of the virus, not even very small towns have been handicapped by people getting sick in large numbers.
All the dead bodies in the street we are constantly having to navigate through are from Alpha, Delta etc.
Could it be that Thomas Midgley Jnr. is to blame, that the quickly hushed study finding that UV and Vit. D inhibit transmission of the virus were correct and New Zealand, due to it's geographical and lifestyle advantage actually has very little to fear?
I notice a group of parents are taking the New Zealand Government to court to stop the "vaccination" of 5 - 11yos for Covid.
Good on those people!
I, of course, doubt that our politically-select judges will rule against the Government but this will at least highlight the issue.
I have also read reports of children suffering immediate adverse reactions to the drug and going directly from the vaccination centres to the hospital. These reports are, of course, not by MSM outlets.
The issue certainly needs highlighting, if only because every report now contains a version of the following line (this from the above quoted story) "Clinical trials found the Pfizer vaccine was both extremely safe for children and very effective at stopping them from suffering severe Covid symptoms".
Reports elsewhere note these "clinical trials" are of a very small number of children, both I've seen quoted of, including those given placebos, less than the odds of contracting a serious health problem from the "vaccine".
This misinformation is rife among those attempting to destroy the Western way of life.
STOP this child abuse!
I don't like Bishop Tamaki.
I dislike what he does, what he pretends to do and the fraudulence of his message.
While I agree with him on his virus-measures stance I disagree with his methods but I cannot disagree with his right to protest the current dictatorship's disgraceful apartheid.
The shameful actions of separating the fools from the thinkers (drugged and undrugged) and attempting to drive the thinkers from society is equal to the drive to gift control of New Zealand to a small group of racists.
Tamaki, for all his faults is guilty in this instance, of not kow-towing to the government line.
The stasi arresting him for this "crime" demonstrate just how far the dictatorship has sunk into the mire of <i>we know best</i>.
The Democratic Socialist Republic of New Zealand is now a police state!
I notice New Zealand msm reporting (days late as usual) a leftie mouthoff, Stewart, accusing J K Rowling of being anti-Semite for a scene in one of her children's books.
What I don't notice is the follow-up where Stewart states he was only joking and meant no such thing.
Rowling is now listed among the heretics because she has stated that people are born either male or female so all the luvvies have jumped in to berate her.
No doubt soon the luvvies will be buying millions of her books so they can burn them.
Rowling must be laughing her tits off!
Travelling between Washdyke and Hinds yesterday I spotted four marked police cars and, I think, one unmarked car.
Instantly I felt safe and secure.
I knew for sure there was no way there was any gang activity anywhere near that highway at that time.
The Headline:
The date: 04 January, 2022, the place: New Zealand.
It's bloody summer for christs sake!
Less than 30C is a warm day, nothing more.
Just what cretinous hole did the halfwit publishing this stupidity crawl out of?
The case of Andy and the whore continues to make headlines.
For the life of me I can't see why.
Andy, of course, was the spare but that ceased to be the case years ago, when Bill came along.
Now he's an over-indulged nobody.
He was single, was offered and accepted a whore. Based on the photographs published a quite contented whore and based on reported facts, an of-age whore.
Being a whore is one of the most popular jobs for females, always has been, still is.
I read recently that in Victorian Britain 20% of the female population was involved in prostitution.
I also note that Andy is not accused of trafficking "under-aged" girls (who were almost certainly of age in their home countries), his main crime seems to be he was friends with the Maxwell sheila.
I have only noted these things because of the inexplicable wall-to-wall coverage of the affair by the print media.
I still can't see the attraction.
