I am aghast!

Aghast I tell you.

A "new" report https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/could-happen-tomorrow-government-warned-of-chances-of-catastrophic-earthquake/ suggest New Zealand is vulnerable to a natural event that may cause problems.

New?

As a schoolboy way back when we strode alongside dinosaurs on the way to school the talk of the town was about a catastrophic earthquake or tidal wave (the Japanese fellow was unknown back then) striking New Zealand causing problems.

We had two.

One caused a bit of mayhem in Lyttleton harbour (in Teddington the bar had to close - genuine catastrophe), the other caused row-boats in Ferrymead and the mudflats to swim about a bit.

But the potential earthquake was always present. When Mr Nordmier or Kiwi Keith or even Mr Muldoon was reigning supreme some even prayed for the that earthquake to hit "The Shaky Isles".

Alas it never did and Wellington, despite it's best efforts, has not been shaken out of existence or washed into the sea

The "new" report suggests similar things may happen.

Please forgive the unsteady hand typing this report, the shaking in my boots is rising higher.

You don't want it?

 

You finished with that?

It has no value to you any more. You don’t want it?

Tell you what; You clean and wash it and dry it (at your expense), sort it and give me the things I can sell. You can then pay me to come and collect it (that part is not optional) and I’ll punish you if you have included anything I don’t want.

You’ll also have to pay me to take away all the other stuff you don’t want (again, not optional) and I’ll punish you if you get that wrong as well.

Have a nice day.

THAT is council recycling in New Zealand.

White Men Misbehaving

 News reports (therefore unreliable at best0 tell us a group of racist white men, some with a bit of Maori mixed in, are attempting to sabotage a well-known fishing contest up north.

Apparently they are blocking roads, boat ramps etc.

Plod, of course, are too busy trying to trap some poor bastard doing 3Km/per hour faster than he ridiculously slow and completely arbitrary speed limit and investigating people exercising free speech from the wrong side to uphold the law.

My advice to any prospective fishermen wanting to partake: come armed and ready to use those arms.

Shooting noxious pests in New Zealand, as long as you don't endanger innocents, can be fun.

Restart

 A restart, not just to the blog but within my life.

I needed to move following an unfortunate series of events.

I purchased a caravan from "Selwyn Caravans and Motors Ltd."

The "Ltd" is right!

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS OUTFIT! THE OPERATOR IS A THIEF AND A LIAR!

I now live in a caravan at Woodend Beach. Life is interesting. (which makes me also a liar). But it's not bad.

I had decided to stop blogging and commenting on blogs but too much utter bullshit is happening.

Not just within the slime (msm - that greasy shit that floats over everything contributing only a very bad smell and an unpleasant experience) but with racists, including mainly white men pretending to be brown) and communists (socialists are communists without the intestinal fortitude) and now the truly nasty antisemitism crowd being given free license to mouth off refused to genuine good people (read: rightwingers).

I need an outlet. This blog is it.

Of course this blog is unread by millions (correctly so) so if you're here by mistake accept my apologies, read my ravings and thank your lucky stars your brain is not like mine.

I wish any poor bastard reading this a speedy recovery and note that if nothing else typing this entry has convinced me to buy a new, reasonably priced keyboard instead of this cheap crap.
