Poms

 This headline and story intrigues me:

 UK invests millions of pounds to try halt misogyny early 

 GB's new State religion is based on misogyny.

Is this a new recruitment policy? 

Supreme Dictators

 

 

Ani O'Brien: NZ Courts think its 2018 and declare puberty blockers reversible

Supreme Court rules Pascoe Mt. Messenger land acquisition negotiations were improperly outsourced

 

High Court rules Human Rights and Race Relations Commissioner appointments unlawful

 

Supreme Court finds Govt must consider climate change when offering oil and gas tenders

Nice to know New Zealand's unelected failed-upward brigade are looking out for their our interests.

Labour Correct

 The headline" 

• 
  
• Tangi Utikere: Labour Transport spokesperson on the Government scrapping the road cone hotline

'Waste of money': Labour lambasts scrapped road cone hotline

 Must be true. I bow to the experts.

 NO New Zealanders have as much experience at wasting money when in Government than Labour.

 

Hero

 I watched the footage.

Who shot the Bondi absolute hero? 

Far Right

 Again this morning, while reading a rather lightweight column, I was told of the dangers posed by the "far right".

Problem is I've never seen any "far right", certainly never witnessed any particularly dangerous to society "far right".

Every atrocity I read of or watch news of , is perpetrated by lefties or those lefties love, support and defend. (Islam anyone?)

Every one!

When I ask about the "far right" I am invariably pointed to a few (very few) disorganised nutters hiding away in back-woods locations and never coming close to approaching civilization, a few totally deranged individuals who dress in leather and polished metal in hot weather (such is their "intelligence") or those already in prison.

Unlike the left nutbars, who hide like scared rabbits, the "far right" nutters wear advertisements in the form of large tattoos they happily parade.

In fact at least 90% of the "far right" appear to be in prison. Ninety percent plus have already been caught!

Not so the leftie nutters whom the invariably anti-gun left happily arm and aim at anyone and everyone (i.e. anyone with a functioning brain) who disagrees with them.

The left works to keep these scum in society, pretending they are of society. 

I'm not proposing a solution to this, definitely not suggesting that for every innocent person killed or maimed by a leftie lovie we should hang upside down and flog a leftie activist nor that it should be a different leftie activist each time.

After all I'm a right-winger, a kind, compassionate, thoughtful and considerate individual. 

I wonder whether Moon green cheese is edible? 

A Solution

 Two stories of interest in the New Zealand news today include two separate terrorist attacks (in USA and Aus) and the infestation of a fresh-water clam in the Waikato.

My understanding is that, alongside pork, Mussies hate shellfish.

Understandable when you live in a hot countries which for centuries were the centre of Western knowledge but were too bloody stupid to invent refrigeration. 

I divert.

The knowledge of one of these stories my assist New Zealand in avoiding being part of similar future stories of the other.

Instead of completely eradicating the Golden Clam, restrict it to the Waikato river (the area is of no use to humanity for anything else) and pass a law stating that being part of, or supporting in any way, Muslim terrorism will result in being hung head-down in a barrel of golden clams and barbequed until dead.

Despite initial wailing and gnashing of teeth New Zealand will become the safest place on Earth.

Milford Sound

 Reading around the traps I note this heading:

 

Saturday December 13, 2025 

News:
Ngāi Tahu set to take 33% stake in Milford Sound Tourism 

Remembering Kaikora and Whale Watch I need to ask: Are they going to pay for it?

Communists Spend

 Headline from today's News:

COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT SPENDS MORE OF OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY!

 Of course they worded it differently.

Most people getting the minimum wage are doing so because they're too bloody bone-idle lazy to get off their fat, useless arses and try to improve themselves. 

More often than not they're not worth what they get now.

Not to worry though, the lefty Gummint will happily steal the poor bastard who built the business's money and give it to them as a reward for their indolence. 

God defend New Zealand! 

Gone to the Dogs

 The destruction of the Greyhound Racing industry by Government Decree is attracting a great deal of comment right now.

Far more, I suggest, than the "sport" itself ever has in New Zealand.

I've twice worked with dog trainers (almost all industry trainers are part timers) and heard the stories of their methods and successes.

One thing that stands out is the way dogs are discarded (read "made dead") after any sign they won't win.

Non-racing greyhounds are next to useless - not even glue-factory/pet-food worthy, and are treated that way.  

I can see why Mr Peters has decided to end it all.

Cancer

 Far more than 90% of the country welcomed poison and untested medication promoted buy a corrupt cunt into their bodies.

Cancer rates are predicted to spiral out of control.

I wonder if there's some form of correlation? 

 I notice a headline on NewstalkZB website suggesting tips on how to sleep in predicted hot and humid weather summer brings to North Island nutters..

I bet it omits the one tried and true method available to all adults - copius quantities of cheap plonk.

Query

 Has the Christchurch school indoctrinator, purveyor or rotten food to children, signed the recent petition promising to keep children safe (including from poison)?

A Win for Taxpayers!

 I note this story from Pravda NZ this morning.

The story states (my interpretation) that a petition calling for New Zealand to reinstate racist indoctrination for school children was handed to the Minister of Education She personally accepted it.

The petition has 24,000 signatures - again, according to the story. 

As an aside the 24,000 obviously received their education before the original indoctrination occurred. I doubt you'd find 24,000 of the recently "educated" lot able to sign their names. 

I divert,

The petition is a win for tax-paying New Zealand. 

24,000 racists have, apparently happily, identified themselves to the Government. The Government should now represent the People of New Zealand and immediately remove any and all Government payments to these people and any organisation they represent.

New Zealand can make a stand the future World will acknowledge: Racism in New Zealand WILL not be supported by taxpayers.

Free speech is great - as long as you are prepared to take responsibility for what you say. 

Out, Damned Spot

Shouldn't the "decolonise" crowd be pushing for the removal of recent immigrant African/Middle Eastern/Sub-Continent crowds from Western countries?

1800 years, then USA, then BOOM!

" Yet Christianity has been a cornerstone of Western civilisation for nearly two millennia, shaping its moral, cultural, and institutional foundations". 

I'm not going to link to the AI-produced bullshit that quote came from - I'm not that nasty.

Suffice to say it was at the top of yet another article I didn't continue reading but the line actually does contain a grain of truth - albeit accidentally.

For 1,800 years (AD) man did not progress. In particular Christianity, based on happenings over the last 225 years, proved the handbrake on western advancement.

Some art was produced, China had some invention but real progression for man only genuinely jumped ahead after the formation of a country that forbid religion from taking part in governance. The United States of America.

The USA did not invent all things but they created the environment where the industrialisation of those inventions could flourish.

Finally free from the restricting influence of religion, invention and industry that allowed more than just the elite to be advantaged jumped ahead and in the last 225 years most men have gone from stone-age to industrial age.

With this in mind this column is worth reading. It is 

David R. Henderson: Giving Thanks for Freedom and Growth 

I stole it from Breaking Views 

Mr Henderson goes back 6,000 years (correctly IMHO) but my quote was about Christianity rather than general God-bothering.

Cricket? Updated

 Spring and Summer weather in Canterbury, particularly for the Canterbury Plains, is predictable: Almost every year late October and November produce warming, dry and settled conditions, December and early January have all sorts of crap conditions, often hot and cold in the same day with constant showers (rather than steady rain), late January, February and March are usually back to warm settled stuff, all with the possibilities of the odd hot (36-40C) day thrown in.

So why does NZ Cricket continue to schedule Hagley Oval test matches in ChCh for December?

Do they hate test cricket (The only form of real cricket!) that much? 

After watching and listening to this game (or much of it) on free-to-air TV NZC are not the only cricket haters, most of the commentary team do as well.

They were terrible! 

I listened to two sheilas who have never payed the game, a group whinging and whining about a warm day with a gentle breeze and a lot of grizzling but no genuine or informative comments on New Zealand failing to produce test wickets or the failure of the NZ team trainer to get players fit for the strains of five-day cricket.

As an aside, well done Tom Latham, well done West indies. 

Maori Electorate Voters

 I draw attention to the Point-of-Order column: Labour winning all the Māori seats would be good for NZ

It's not worth reading but it only takes two minutes so go for it.

I draw attention because it is the latest column I've seen of utter irrelevant rubbish fed to gullible readers. 

The only thing good for New Zealand that can be done is a general information campaign explaining to most people with Maori heritage that removing themselves from this elitist racism bullshit and signing up for a General electorate, therefore avoiding the circus sideshow that is Maori-only elections, will give them far more influence on the governance of their country.

Such a campaign will need to be, and should be, led by a non-political organisation maybe based around Hobson's Choice or similar. 

Super?

 The headline: NZ Pravda

Kiwi actor on becoming a gladiator: 'Māori blood is like a superpower, eh?'

 Only if the target is White men's money or the things they create mate!

A Rare Display of Sense

 And it comes from a Judge, so very rare indeed.

Ignore the headline:  'Sorry would have gone a long way': Teen's remorse questioned after fatal RnV crash and read the story.

The story is about a young lady who made a mistake. A bad mistake that caused the death of her friend.

The key word there is "mistake".

The New Zealand policing system (Can't call it "justice") is such that everything has to be blamed on someone and that person penalised. 

Mistakes are non-existent and every happenstance is a deliberate action according to the "Law". No accident can happen without someone being penalised.

In fact most of that policing system has one purpose: It's a "yob" scheme for shysters, keeps the useless bastards off the streets.

The prosecution of the young lady, as is the regular prosecution of people in similar situations where a mistake or an accident has caused the ire of the always corrupt porcine types, was for no reason other than State revenge - the young lady had a life.

The judge erred in not pointing that out to the otherwise unemployable lot but then, one can only assume in a fit of remorse, took the very correct course and has recognised that to further penalise the young lady (She had already offered financial compensation) would be unfair.

Well done Judge  John Berseng!

 

 

High Court

 The headline:

 ‘Left with no choice’: Ngāi Tahu takes Govt to court over conservation law changes

intrigues me.

Not the action, given the fact that all the lower courts of New Zealand can't wait to kow-tow to their brown-skinned mates (as the recent Uber ruling proves), the concept.

What I can't understand is why the highest court in the land doesn't tell the lower courts "Stand aside children, the big boys (us) will decide this"?

The lower courts being the laughingly called "Supreme Court" and down, the highest court, the House of Representatives. 

F#*@ed up again!

 The headline:

NIWA principal scientist says drought could be coming as weekend forecasts hit 30C

NIWA's highest paid (but still grossly inaccurate) guesser has just jinxed the summer. 

Based on NIWA's usual accuracy we're in for rain - heavy, unceasing bloody rain.

No link, they don't deserve one. 

Feminism

 

The Headline: 

Ani O'Brien: Parole Board called it "managed risk", now a woman is dead

 A few decades ago the feminist movement demonstrated that most male abusers of women were cowards.

The feminist movement encouraged women to not just not accept abuse but to fight back.

Most of us men stood back and quietly admired the sheilas. The male sheilas hated it.

Then, of course, we saw far too many go too far and that admiration dropped off.  The male sheilas started loving the female domination over them.

Then came the pooftas, the cross-dressers, the disgusting male prostitutes.

All of a sudden the Western world was anti-women again and the male sheilas revelled when their domination shifted to fella's dressed as sheilas.

Women once again became victims of the cowards. 

Maybe it's now time men started supporting females to fight back again. To reimpose feminism.

The world is already fucked so their going too far is unlikely this time and we may finally see a balance with both men and women rising to the top with the cowards and sheilas of both sexes pushed under foot where they belong.

The male sheilas will love that. 

 

 

 

 

Govt. Saves Kids

The headline: 

Discussion of puberty blockers should be removed from the 'political arena', GP says

The story is basically the headline.

Does the GP not understand that it is GPs disgracing themselves over both the "gender" fraud and the Covid panic that has made Government intervention necessary?

As an aside am I the only one who, when he reads the word "expert" immediately conclude the person quoted is an opinionated wanker with no knowledge at all? 

 

 

CoP30

 This has to be shared:

Burnout

 He's right you know!

 Dr-Jarrod-Haar-Massey-University-Professor-of-Management has come up with a study showing people don't turn off from work during holidays.

He say that causes "burnout".

Let me first acknowledge that Jarrod is probably studying civil servants, teachers and other useless, non-contributing to New Zealand, academic types but a voice from the ex-workforce may help.

I'm willing to bet Jarrod has never suffered work nor management in his life so I'm going to offer my own experience to the fact that he is correct.

Throughout my working life I worked long hours (60+ Hour weeks were common) and took my holidays often in short bursts (2-3 days) when I did take them. Most of the twenty years spent working for the slave-driver (myself) I didn't get a holiday at all.

I suffered burnout.

Of course that "burnout" was when, at 69 years of age, I finally gave in to the viral infection I'd suffered from for the previous five years but I'm sure burnout was a contributing factor. 

Jarrod would believe me. 

Michelin

 I have noted with some amusement the attempted furore over the Michelin Guide rating some New Zealand restaurants.

I have some experience in restaurants, working with some excellent chefs.

Not one of those will on the Michelin list; They were, to a man and woman, brilliant chefs who knew their customers needs and wants and filled those with culinary delights.

The Michelin people, meantime, want pretentious wankers who set out to create crap that suits them (the chef), for pretentious wankers instead of the regular customer. 

Many of those pretentious wanker customers regularly stop at Maccas on the way home for a real feed. 

If you want a real, chef prepared meal, go to your local that has a good reputation. If you want to impress someone with a great meal, do likewise. The local guys and gals are bloody good at what they do.

If you want to pretend while masturbating socially, the Michelin crowd are for you. Enjoy - if you can. 

 

Give It A Miss!

 Time to pull the pin?

 A satellite image showing Tropical Cyclone Tam on its way towards New Zealand in April 2025.

 The NZ Herald, on the main page overnight, has the above picture and a column telling us about projected cyclones for the season ahead.

A normal NZH-type climate column; Lots of shock-horror, lots of "warmer oceans" type rhetoric.

The story is about the calamitous (based on the tenor of the column) prediction that there will possibly be between 5 and 9 cyclones this season.

The story then tells us, almost as an aside before charging ahead with the calamity theme, that the long-term average is 9 i.e. there will probably be less cyclones this summer. 

The story is to serve one purpose only: to hammer the lie of global warming causing harmful weather.

The tactic and general theme is to try and scare anyone who doesn't read the full column or, given current education standards in Godzone, the many who have no comprehension of the English language

Surely it is time this sort of bullshit reporting ceased and news organisations returned to reporting news. 

 

Royal

 Randy Andy is being stripped of his entitlements and honours for shagging a (based on contemporary photographs) prostitute.

Andy was, at the time, divorced, therefore single and free. 

Meanwhile, in New Zealand a significant sized group of racists, communists, thieves, fraudsters and country destroyers run around flaunting their "sirs" and "dames" completely unhindered by officialdom.

And, yes; the lack of capitals is deliberate. 

Guilty or Innocent?

 The headline intrigued me:

 

2025 Trans-Tasman Sheep Dog Trial Test series set to get underway

No mention of the charges the dogs face and a few questions remain unanswered:

Does New Zealand or Australasian Law specifically cover sheepdogs or are all animals subject to it?

Will the dogs face a jury of their peers? Dogs or just sheepdogs?

Will the trial be bi-lingual and, if so, who will translate?

What punishment do the dogs face if found guilty?

Will there be an appeal?

Test series? What's it a test of? Do they mean internationals?   

Bean There

 Last summer/autumn I had too many chillis. I had purchased two types on special that had been mis-labelled and the seller only knew they were chilli plants and no which type.

They turned out to be a long (4-6") one and a small round ball-type, both very hot.

I loved both when added to my food.

I froze some - with fresh chillis just wash whole fruit in clean water, freeze separately on a tray and the bag, they last for at least six months.

Still with left-overs I sterilised a jar, filled it to the brim with cheap Pinot-Gris and shoved in one large chilli. I then threw the jar in the back of a cupboard and forgot about it.

I found it this week, six months later.

I had just cooked a bean mixture (red, white and black beans with peas) so made a bean salad by adding capers and some of the pinot-gris. After mixing the salad I put in a sealed container and refrigerated for 24 hours. 

Had some with cold meat (beef and salami) last night for dinner. 

The best bean salad I can remember tasting.

PUT THE CARBON (CO2) BACK YOU BASTARDS! 

Sorry Sir

 The headline:

 Geopolitical analyst talks ahead of possible Luxon and Trump encounter

It's not often I feel sorry for The Don. 

Update: The Don got lucky. 

History. It Ain't So.

 I keep reading this sort of stuff, in damned near everything published in New Zealand:

  Māori have a rich cultural heritage and a deep connection to their land and natural resources. Their identity is rooted in a unique worldview that emphasises the importance of kaitiakitanga, guardianship, over the environment, demonstrated in their commitment to sustainability and community wellbeing.

 That came from an item on BreakingViews.co.nz but, with very minor variance, is to be found in almost every news and current event comment.

Problem is that it is a load of utter bullshit.

History (before racist embellishment) tells us that most maori had no land at all, just territory they controlled through might. They had no "worldview" because they didn't know of a World.

Most existed in small, itinerant tribes moving where they could, raping the land they came across before hunger, or a stronger group, moved them on. Even when tribes were larger different factions were separate entities combing only occasionally for trade (eg Southern Ngai-tahu were very different from Canterbury Ngai-tahu, not even thought of when Canterbury Ngai-tahu were decimated by Wanganui cannibals in the 1930s. The Canterbury tribe looked to whalers/traders to repopulate their territory.).

Hunter/gatherers with the handicap that they quickly destroyed anything worth hunting except themselves - and after they obtained better weapons they damned near did that as well.

As such they also made no advances in technology from when they were delivered to these shores.

The above quote is simply the invention of greedy, mainly white, thieves intent on gaining yet another way to relieve you of your hard-earned goods.

Lock those thieves up, shoot every pollie left of NZF, decapitate every "leader" and hang every "teacher" and NZ will suddenly find the part maori remaining are bloody good guys.

Bus Fire

 Overnight an electric bus was involved in an accident, caught fire and burned. It burned through the night, typical of Lithium-Ion fires in vehicles. 

These fires are happening with some regularity.

A passenger (according to reports) was killed in the fire: " Witnesses reported one person on the bus was unable to be freed in time."

Fires in electric vehicles are almost common nowdays, deaths from these fires regularly reported and yet some bright bastard involved with a Jafa bus company purchased these death-trap buses for use in public transport.

I seriously hope this bastard and her decision-approving superiors are charged with, and subsequently convicted of, murder - this was premeditated.

 

High Wind Warning

 The two photos below were both copied (stolen) from NewstalkZB website today.

 

 

 

 Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon joined John MacDonald to get the latest from their district on storm preparation and damage.

 Both are attached to advertisements for a radio segment by, probably, the most unfortunate broadcaster in New Zealand radio.

I highlight these photograph for this reason: the radio segment is about the high winds ("windstorms") hitting Canterbury as I type.

Both photographs show a person holding an umbrella.

High wind + umbrella =  

 

BSA Bullshit

 The BSA attempt to censor The Platform has ignited a series of articles and comment from internet users and commenters.

I have read at least half a dozen columns, each condemning the attempt, and seen headlines for probably double that number.

I even commented about it myself .

For those living in a remote cave the BSA decided that they now can censure and censor internet commenters and started with The Platform and Sean Plunket.

Mr Plunket called mumbo-jumbo "mumbo jumbo". A professional complainer complained and the sheilas of the BSA acted - with malice.

Most commenters I have read, barring national's official spokesman (and the Minister) have expressed their disgust of the BSA sheilas' actions,

None however have addressed the very important point the the BSA action was not just illegal and immoral, it was, in fact, blatantly racist.

For that reason alone the BSA sheilas should be marched, naked, from Cape Reinga to Bluff with a public flogging every lunch time along the way. 

Woolly Thinking

 

 The headline:

 'Too young to drive': Eight youths in stolen car lead police on Auckland motorway chase

From the report: 

“Safely resolving a fleeing incident, allegedly involving eight youths who were all too young to drive, was a top priority for Waitematā Police in the early hours of this morning,” Bartlett said.

I don't doubt the quote, which makes this report rather disturbing.

The youths were too young to drive legally. They may have  been too young to drive safely (although the ending of the incident may suggest otherwise) but they were NOT "too young to drive".

They proved that - emphatically! 

When senior policemen make statements containing woolly, inaccurate phrases it usually means their thinking is woolly, inaccurate.

Waitematā West Area Response Manager, Acting Senior Sergeant Matt Bartlett; From someone who's very job requires clear thinking I find this troubling indeed. 

Are you in the right job? 

Pay Worth

 The child-minders, the already highly paid bedpan dispensers and the ACC fraudsters are going on strike.

Fair enough.

I suggest the Government retaliate by passing legislation ordering all Civil Servant's wages reflect the value of the work they do, not the job description and remove ALL minimum wage restrictions.

In this case the first lot will end up paying us, the second keep what they get now and the third will immediately lining up to get into debtor's prison. 

The private sector can pay what they want 

Too Many?

 The Headline: 

 

$1.2billion funnelled into highway projects for Roads of National Significance programme

I hope they get bulk discount. 

$1.2 Billion will buy a hell of a lot of orange plastic cones. 

I'm Told

 that you may not speak ill of the dead.

Fair enough.

That Hitler was an entertaining fellow, Saville certainly kept the kids on their toes. Stalin was good to his mum.

In the same vein Bolger was not the most damaging Prime Minister New Zealand has ever suffered under. 

He does hold a big lead in the race for second place though.

Notably it was all downhill from then on. 

The Dictatorship Expands

 The headline:

 Peters blasts BSA over move to regulate podcasts and online media

I urge you to read the story.

The BSA (The outfit charged with keeping New Zealand broadcasting sub-standard) has decided that it's jurisdiction now applies to blogs, substacks and podcasts.

The BSA has decided that it can impose it's blatant racism and communist censorship on same.

The BSA is, of course, made up of f@#$ing sheilas, including a shyster, one who thinks like her industry and  the obligatory racist.

ACT MUST join with NZP and force the Coalition to reign in this outfit, preferably with the use of stockwhips for management, underlings sent back to the caves and asylums they escaped from.

New Zealand must start to fight for it's freedom! 

Strike and be Damned!

 Secondary school "teachers", or at least the unionised ones, have announced a series of strikes starting today.

The Minister ain't happy.

 I'm of two minds.

The benefit of time off from the incessant communist and racist indoctrination of most classrooms may be far greater for pupils leading up to important exams than the benefits from those pupils being babysat for five to six hours a day by the otherwise unemployable.

Rather than whinge I suggest the Minister tries to find out if this is so. 

One Third

 One third.

That's right, 1 third.

According to this story from a gentleman who has worked it out, 34% (1 third) of the electorate given a choice voted for apartheid. 

What an indictment on New Zealand as a country, on the New Zealand Education system, on the New Zealand mainstream media.

This was not a vote on the concept of apartheid, this was, remember, a vote on whether your local representatives must bow to a bunch of honky dudes pretending to be polynesian.

One third of people's representatives subject to the recent election must now kiss the arse of these honkies.

It is not often I'm pleased I'm an old fart but I am today. The Gods willing I shall be either dead or non-compos-mentis before this disgrace causes it's worst problems.

God defend New Zealand! 

HELP!

 The headline:

Local elections 2025: Andrew Little says he's been elected Wellington's next mayor with a 'healthy lead'

No doubt correct. 

One can only think: The people responsible for this mistake were also responsible for Angry Andy's predecessor.

The terrifying part is that these same people are, mainly, Govt. employees tasked with assisting the management of New Zealand.

God Defend New Zealand! 

Your Fault

 

You are slightly independent. Your children are teenagers (or you decided not to inflict on the World further brainwashed life) and life is starting to become bearable.

You, of course, still work for the useless (Civil servants, lazy bastards etc.) via tax but your business is good. Your life is comfortable.

You’re sitting in the sun, sipping on a cold drink, contemplating your navel – and your new, temporary swimming pool your friends and their teenage kids enjoy so much on BBQ day/nights.

As you sit there the peace and quiet is disturbed by a new neighbour moving in to your cul-de-sac.

The new neighbour is a single female with four, multi-coloured children, all under six. You (your taxes) are responsible for and support this “family”.

The rules say that each morning you must pick up these children, take them safely to child-care, kindergarten or primary school (whether they want to or not), you must pick them up from said activities at the appropriate time and deliver them back home.

After ensuring that food, beverage and entertainment is available for them you may return home, sit in the sun and guard the swimming pool against incursion of the afore mentioned children.

At least that’s what the Water Safety Council demands.

They want to ban above ground (temporary) swimming pools because, once every two years, someone drowns in one.

That someone is, invariably, an unattended toddler. Note the "unattended".

The Water Safety Council demands that YOU are responsible for that toddler!

Sending Them Where?

 The headline: 

UK police operation tracks down gang suspected of sending 40,000 stolen phones to China

Sending 'phones to China?

Isn't that the modern equivalent of sending coal to Newcastle? 

Outright Abuse!

 The headline: 

Greta Thunberg abused in Israeli prison – activists

The story: Here 

Pure abuse at it's most basic form, there can be no doubt about it.

I can only hope that poor, abused Israeli flag gets the counseling and comfort it now needs.

From the linked-to story: " “They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” he told the outlet."

I await the film showing "Poor Greta" having her near naked, almost certainly dead, body bundled into a jeep to be paraded around in triumph. 

Meanwhile it will be hard to pardon Israel for their action of inflicting 137 on an already suffering World. 

 Israel deports 137 Gaza aid flotilla activists

They should have left them, and their "aid" (ha ha) in Gaza. 

Horror yes, Shock ?????

 I have read today three different comments on blogs about the same instance.

 It seems some civil servants (in this case the Electoral Commission ones) have been promoting pro-apartheid propaganda of another public funded outfit, LGNZ.

Read about it here. 

All three comments attribute some sort of "shock/horror" to this action.

"Fair enough" you may think but, no, it ain't.

The "shock/horror" bit is as dishonest as the actions of those bodies.

This sort of tax-payer/rate-payer skullduggery happens now with such regularity that only a report detailing how civil servants did their job in a competent, non-political, unbiased way will now create genuine shock (although, as they're civil servants, the "horror" will remain).

Decolonisation

 "Decolonisation" is a word I keep seeing on my daily trawl through New Zealand websites.

The action of decolonisation, I admit, I have never read about.

Upon reflection I would like that to change.

I have decided therefore, subject to one condition, to support decolonisation (I like birds).

That condition is we use chronological order to implement decolonisation using a "first in-first out" process and demand those leaving use exactly the same form of transport they arrived in.

The sole alternative to be transportation to the 12 mile limit, upon which they are required to walk the rest of the way. 

I am amazed.

 The headline: 

Ryan Bridge: We need to break away from coalition governments

The story: I urge you to read it.

Mr Bridge usually, from what I see, produces short pieces on popular stories, mostly expounding on the latest fashionable view of those stories. My guess is that those pieces are added to the website by Bridge himself, or by a lackey assigned to the task without editorial supervision of any sort. No wonder then that this column appeared.

Yesterday (If Bridge's timeline is accurate) Government pollies turned up to a meeting with different, opposing views. They then proceeded to discuss those views, working out a compromise on the issue that could work for both parties.

Mr Bridge considers this to be a problem.

No doubt on Mr Bridge's planet the pollies would be banned from any meeting (probably by being imprisoned and shot), no compromise would ever be reached and the PM (Dictator) would advise the survivors of what the only acceptable opinion will be.

I am amazed: Not that this column appeared but that Mr Bridge found his way through his front door to the waiting transport that conveyed him to the NewstalkZB premises allowing him to produce such nonsense. His minders must be very good indeed. 

Locked Up!

 The headline: 

Increased reporting sees steep rise in prison assaults 

The problem: The headline is as wrong as the conclusion.

I seriously hope that the sharp increase in prison assaults is because more slime are being locked up for their sins and subsequently being rightfully punished for those sins but increased reporting of prison assaults means only that more are being reported.

Power to the ??????

 PM Luxon, temporary Dictator of New Zealand, has announced that there is an energy crisis coming to, if not starting in, New Zealand.

To combat this crisis he will give our money to proven wastrel existing electricity suppliers plus create an LNG import entity using, of course, more of our money.

No mention though, of any move to create facilities for the only sensible, long term, reliable energy producer available today.

I refer to nuclear  - a clean, reliable and safe (as long as current politicians are kept well away from the design and build process) source.

What's the bet Lake Onslow is resurrected shortly, to supplement these imports? 

Racist Supports Murderers; Says So.

 The headline: 

'Shame on us': Ex-Race Relations Commissioner slams Govt's 'torturous logic' on Palestine

The headline should have been:

Racist Jaarpie Upset NZ Not Supportive of Murderous Scum.

Unsurprising really that the one who turned the Race Relations Commissioner job into a support base for racists now also supports terrorist murderers push for legitimacy. 

New Felless

 Willis (and the National (led?) Government has appointed a new Governor for the Reserve Bank.

Reading reaction from economist-type commentators it appears she has been appointed mainly because what she lacks (physically) and New Zealand will soon have Greta (Mk II) in charge of inflation control and monetary matters.

The Chinese fellow may have got his wish: We now live in "interesting" times.

Trump Wrong for Once

 Mr Trump has done pretty well so far in his second attempt at leading the World but one thing he has just said (according to Daily Telegraph) misses the mark.

Trump: Climate Change the “greatest con job ever perpetrated”

While there can be no doubt the climate change fiasco is a major con job it comes only close to the actual greatest con-job of all time.

As yet no other con job in history even approaches the pinnacle that is the marketing of chicken skin and bone, covered with breadcrumbs, as food.

Still champion, despite many challengers, of con jobs is chicken wings.

Free Speech

 The current craze for mourning free speech amuses me.

1981 in New Zealand was about free speech and most of you were, as you proudly proclaim, agin' it. 

Recognition

 The nominal head of a leaderless committee, known (jokingly) as the Prime Minister and elected only by a very small group of people (the National Party executive), has decided New Zealand will "recognise" the non-existant (both in fact and historically) "Palestine" as a state.

The man represents probably less than 1% of New Zealanders. 

Is this legal? 

Long Winded Terror

 Many, many moons ago, way back before Adam headed bovines, I became involved, involuntarily, with some garage sales.

In Timaru at the time was two old men who attended such events, not to view or purchase but to find someone who's ear they could bend.

One spoke, for hours, seemingly without even stopping to breathe, on the Gnomes of Zurich, the other on something else equally bullshit.

Another cruised cricket matches on weekends, trapping poor bastards sitting around while teammates batted. He talked, non-stop, about obscure players who were never selected.

You could tell he was approaching. There would be a mass exodus of all except the unsuspecting doing score-book duty. 

Sir Bob Jones, in his columns, made mention of similar men in boxing circles and the impossibility of getting away from one of them once trapped.

Always a reasonably well dressed older man, fixed of stare, unblinking and with a very serious demeanor. Usually carrying "the evidence" in a bag or case and, without fail, terror inducing.

Their arguments only stood up until you had time to think. Mainly unrelated "facts" thrown together in confusion and drawn out to create strange, unsupportable conclusions.

Over the years, on occasion of boredom, I have wondered where these fellows went now TradeMe etc have largely superseded garage and yard sales.

I recently discovered the answer: They now pollute blogs.

Now, did I tell you abo.............................................. 

Right v Left

 

Right wing? Left wing?

I’ve read a bit on the subject of these over the last month or so. Commenters seem confused.

One viewed the Right as whatever she* thinks at any time while the Left was almost any populist movement – including movements that moved Europe out of feudelism and towards democracy before Marx, Engells put pen to paper.

Others viewed the Right as somewhere between Hitler and Pol Pot.

Since Charlie Kirk many others view the Right as anyone who does not accept, without thought, every dictate of racist, sexist or religionist scum. Notably for this last lot only one of the three Middle-Eastern Godbothering outfits is acceptable despite all having the same God.

To me Right v Left is fairly simple:

Right means accepting full responsibility for your actions and recognising those actions created the present.

Left means it’s always someone else’s fault and someone else MUST fix it.

Note: Like a good fellow I’m trying to use preferred pronouns here.

Inconsiderate Driving?

 The headline: 

Whale dies after stranding on Dunedin beach

I can't help but wonder if the whale was too busy singing at the Kauri trees and forgot to watch where it was going.

I'm Back!

 I got seduced by another blog. I'm back!

Been thinking about New Zealand's leaders (PMs) and how poorly the list reads.

PMs I remember:

 

Holyoake Took over after Nash/Nordmeyer penalised working (and drinking/smoking) New Zealanders for the foibles of the chattering classes. In 12 years did nothing. Set the example the current lot.

An aside: Nash/Nordmeyer were still hated by my working-class grand-parents 10 years after they were deposed.

Kirk/Wowling: Too short tenure each to do much damage.

Muldoon: Great man who served New Zealand well for six years. Treated badly by the communist utter scum who wrote the fiction now called “history”. Went mad about 1982.

Muldoon didn’t always get it right (He should have drowned Bolger and Birch at birth) but most of his legacy benefited New Zealand. Unfortunately, at the time New Zealand could not afford Muldoon.

Lange: Dithered while the Great and Good Sir Roger, Mike, Prebs, Michael et al saved New Zealand. Gutless internationally. Entertainer.

Palmer: Did most of his damage when not PM.

Moore: I blinked and he was gone.

Bolger: Until the communist cunt, was the most damaging PM in NZ history. Introduced MMP – for which We continue to pay the price. TINA has a lot to answer for.

Shipley: New Zealand’s first sheila PM (Someone please remind Clark of this fact). Our Jen was shafted by the slime from day 1 and it still took them two years.

Clark: I once heard a businessman praise Cullen for his assistance. This is the sole positive I’ve ever heard about the Clark clowns.

Introduced the "sisterhood"; Now New Zealand is fucked! Coincidence?

Key: By far the most popular PM New Zealand has seen since WWII ended. Kept New Zealand afloat when so many others floundered.

The slime, with the help of brain-dead fuckwits, are intent on destroying his legacy. Many of those fuckwits support the National (socialist) Party.

English: Lost twice, both times for no real reason. Tenure too short to do any harm.

The Communist Cunt*: Appointed by Peters, re-invested by sheilas voting with their arses instead of their heads.

Destroyed or seriously damaged everything it touched – a typical communist.

Hipkins: The Dweeb too ineffectual to be called “a man”, less intelligence than the sausage rolls he claims to crave.

Post Cunt/Hipkins New Zealand has been run by a leaderless committee – badly.

God defend New Zealand!

* Thank you Parliament for legitimising this word.

Clearing House new-Seppo style

The Headline: 

• 
  
• Auckland dialysis patient says deportation of Tongan wife will kill him, case is with Associate Immigration Minister

‘I am dependent on her’: Man says deportation of his wife will kill him

 Is it just me or do others also think "Neat, two birds, one stone"?

 

 

Traditional?

 I was just perusing the New Zealand "news" sites and I came across an advertisement that was promoting herbs and spices.

Fair enough but the ad' claimed that you create a "traditional" New Zealand roast by taking (a hunk of) lamb and infusing it with herbs and spices before and during cooking.

Actually they called it a "traditional kiwi roast" but New Zealand has no tradition of roasting kiwis and, as the kiwi is a nocturnal, flightless bird of the not very bright type I doubt they use fire (or electricity) in preparing their roots and leaves and so that is wrong as well.

 All of that is wrong.

A "traditional" New Zealand roast is made by taking a hunk of dead sheep, more often than not hogget and throwing (almost literally) it in the oven in a bath of rendered animal fat for a couple of hours until all life and taste has been burned out of it.

Some fancy the roast up with parsnips, peeled hunks of spud, even, god-forbid, bloody awful tasting orange stuff but that is it.

It is not the grossly overcooked sheep meat I'm complaining about (although most genuine eaters do) but the bullshit use of the word "traditional".

Paltry?

 The headline:

Paltry $970,000 saved as Govt freezes incomes of 3000 families

 

 The Government (read "The poor bloody taxpayer") pays lazy bastards to just work 20 hours per week - or less.

 They use tax credits for this payment and it affects few people. 2943 families according to the linked story.

The Government has decided not to increase the limit of this credit this year.

The story appears in the NZH and is written by an obviously barely literate slime using the name  Thomas Coughlan 

Coughlan describes the amount the taxpayer saves as "paltry".

 Now, to me, $970,000 is a reasonable saving. A few Government savings of this type and maybe even old white men might qualify for medical procedures currently limited to racists. Hernia operations being the most pressing for yours truly.

But I'm always willing to be shown the error of my ways and be corrected. This time the means suggests itself.

Mr Coughlan should pay me (out of his own pocket) $970,000.00 and I can find out for myself just how paltry it is.

 

Is it...

 

...too late?

I think it is.

The decline in New Zealand started in 1982. We fought the good fight and we thought we’d won.

We’d beaten the dishonest and the non-thinkers (read “university polluters”), first with a successful Springboks tour and then the re-election of Muldoon.

The rent-a-mob and half-wit crowd had been put in their place – often by the long batons of the Red and Blue Squads.

An aside: Even now when you look at the honest (i.e. not heavily censored) photographs from 1981 every photograph is of the same people – Minto/Richards dressed as pooftas, a god-botherer in skirt, a couple of Back Power racists, a couple more communists (usually sheilas) and a demented group of young people who would go on to create the most racist and wet society the Western World has seen.

We, unfortunately, sat back and watched, almost coincidentally, the failure and fall of communism (the other “communist’ country, China was, in fact a military dictatorship using “communism” to keep the populace quiet – but that is a different story)and we cheered - from our armchairs.

We ignored the grossly dishonest spin put on the subsequent reminiscences of 1981, thinking the children would grow up and learn.

They didn’t!

Instead they started the brainwashing, led almost completely by those who had lost their idols of the USSR but not their desire to tell everyone else what to do.

The current Woke wankery, the current apartheid, all stem from them.

Most of their dishonesty was aimed at the young – the younger the better – which suited because “teaching” was, since the WWII crowd grew old, the preserve of the lazy and life’s failures. Real people did, “teachers” told children why they couldn’t.

Consequently New Zealand has ended up with three generations now (including current schoolchildren ages 10 – 25) who live by the lies of those early ‘80s.

People like the current PM and almost all the other MPs.

Only insurrection or take-over by another country (most likely Indonesia, China or India) will correct this but it will mean NZ will not be the best place to be for the next 100 years.

All because we sat back, satisfied, when only half the job had been done.

A Fool

 In my inbox this morning was yet another missive from Don Brash, Hobson's Pledge, once again carrying on about the infighting between two branches of the racist, communist group.

During the lead-up to the last election, allegedly, a disgusting, grossly dishonest and racist communist used nefarious means to gain more votes than another disgusting, grossly dishonest and racist communist. Both using, of course, their part-maori heritage for the purpose - a free lunch. 

Mr Brash has been hammering this issue for quite some time.

In another post I opened this morning, this time from the Free Speech Union (FSU), there is a warning about the attempted (so far) racist take-over of Internet NZ which will, should it succeed, almost certainly see free speech in New Zealand seriously curtailed.

The two issues, except for the connection to the apartheid currently being promoted by all left-wing parties in New Zealand politics*, appear to be unrelated but I wonder:

Is Mr Brash, who I admit I regard as a fool**, being played to obscure the far more important issues (such as that highlighted by the FSU) that face New Zealand? 

* National, Labour, Green and TPM

**Don Brash; Probably the only New Zealand politician at that time who could have lost the 2005 election to Helen Clark.

A Fight for the Ages.

 A group of God-botherers disrupted and upset a gathering of paedophiles and their intended (if not actual) victims.

The slime PoS reporting on the event, Raphael Franks, didn't like that. 

The "report" mentioned "violence" in it's headline and at least twice in the opening sentences as well as stating the God-botherers used punches to get to their objective and later broke through a police cordon to perform a tribal dance.

Yet all this "violence" and not a single report of any arrests.

Given the police in this instance were paedophile protectors I find that unusual.

Or could it be that Mr Franks is, like so many pooftas before him, is just another scream queen?  

I note Mr Hipkins has come out supporting the paedophiles. As his lot promoted paedophila and hated Christian and Jewish (but not co-paedophile medievilists) God botherers I find this unsurprising.

Mistakes

 

We all make mistakes. Even me.

Many moons ago, that many I run out of fingers, I was doing OK.

I worked hard and long hours, spent little, owned my own home, had wife and two kids and brewed my own beer. Basically I lived a normal life.

I had a few bob in “investments” that I allowed to grow without attention.

Then I allowed my funds to be placed in a fund run by a typical Wellingtonian by the name of Renouf.

Mr Renouf, being as I noted, a Wellingtonian, got into trouble and was taken over by a Mr Judge.

I could have taken about 10c in the $ at that stage and run but Mr Judge was known (of) to me as one of a family my father (an ex-NZ rep) played tennis with.

They were (ChCh people will explain) of the Fendalton/first ships crowd.

I allowed my finances to be forwarded to an outfit called Ariadne.

There they remain!

I started again but without the investments I also had no wife and just one child.

Single Parent.

After a run of learning new skills while working low paying jobs I eventually became my own boss, retiring, despite scum like Bridges, Joyce and the communist cunt, with comfortable means (although certainly not rich)

I tell this story because, despite the National/Labour/financier scum, I accepted I’d made mistakes and worked to overcome the results.

Not so the people Icomment about now or their advocates.

 

 The headline:

‘Appalling on all levels’ – Experts slam ANZ for failing to prevent $250k scam

These people, having badly fucked up, are blaming the tool they used (their bank) because they fucked up.

Now that would be fair enough if the bank was at fault, if the bank’s job was to protect fuckwits from themselves, but its not.

The bank stores your money and, if required, lends you some. That is how it works. That is the bank’s only job!

The bank is not there to tell you when or where you can spend your money, its not there to be your parent.

The bank takes your money, makes a profit with that money and returns to you, with interest, that money. The profit (your return) is based on the balance of profit v loss. If the bank has to pay for someone else’s fuck up, the bank doesn’t pay, YOU DO!

These people decided to give their money to fraudsters (not even the NZ Labour Party) and now want the bank to carry the cost.

If you use the same bank these people want you to pay for their fuck up.

Tinman Burger

 

I like to cook. Not quite as fond of eating but I do like the cooking and playing with food preparation. Hence this document.

A while back in Seppo-land a group of immigrants from European cities most recently occupied by France, started serving meals in USA cities. The main meat available in reasonable quantities that was suitable was beef.

Unfortunately for these people ( both restaurateurs and customers) dentistry was still the domain of barbers and blacksmiths. Eating a steak was not always comfortable.

The solution was to grind the beef up then fry it.

Ground Beef has the wonderful quality that, if fried quickly starting with a ball it sticks together, becoming, once again, a steak.

Ground Beef was not just cheaper but more “ user friendly”.

The restaurateurs were probably from all over but Hamburgers was the name they were called (Germany came later), hamburger their most well known meat.

They weren’t silly.

To the present and I’d been having trouble finding a steak that did not become boiled beef after hitting the frypan. Added to my troubles was the fact that the added water makes the steak either tough or tasteless.

So I’ve joined those Seppos and started using hamburger ( minced beef in English). Find a good butcher who doesn’t add water to cheat you. He’ll be worth it.

Now I enjoy great steaks.

One very serious rule though: The steak MUST be only beef, NO additives in the meat - although sprinkling with pepper, fresh chilli or salt while cooking works DON’T COMBINE THEM IN THE MEAT.

Cold mince combines better than room temperature and, personally, I roll the beef into a ball then refrigerate for half an hour or so.

Then Simply throw in the frying pan (bang on the BBQ etc.) and fry to your preferred done-ness.

For a steak sandwich ( Tinman Burger ) use the crusts of a loaf of bread.

NOTE: I like soy and linseed bread and use these crusts but buns, sliced toast etc. does the job.

Butter the bread.

Cook the beef, add an egg, thick slices of tomato and the bread to the pan when you turn the “steak”.

The bread cooks first. Remove it, spread red sauce liberally on one slice and cover with cheese thinly sliced or grated.

Add the now cooked beef, tomato and egg to the bun with the cheese ( the heat will melt the cheese ).

I like to put fresh, sliced chilli on the tomato while it cooks but you can add jalapeno slices at this point or have used hot red sauce.

Put the other half of the bread on top, cut in half if preferred and enjoy.

Beer or a cold rose` works well.

Oh, and play with the recipe. I'm going to try a thick (home-made) satay sauce with my next one, replacing the egg. Here's hoping!

Attack!

 I notice the slime's all out attack on Seymour and ACT continues, *Pravda having now been joined in competition for most dishonest by the New Zealand Herald, both vying to be the local communist mouthpiece.

The latest attack is re the school lunch thing that Seymour (IMHO wastefully given the recipient's carers are already overpaid to provide such) corrected and de-leftied (i.e. removed most of the incompetence).

Seymour should know better by now.

I digress: I wonder if this attacking Seymour has intensified because the slime now recognise that National, particularly under it's current "management", is actually both further left and more incompetent than their (the slime's) Labour masters? 

* Pravda also identifies as RNZ

Deport the Correct One.

‘Absolute disgrace’: NZ-born teen’s looming deportation to India draws outrage

I've read the story, seen the photographs.

For mine, I'd keep the young fellow, make his parents walk back and deport the shyster.

Sheila's games

 

The headline:

Why are sportswomen paid less than men?

• On Air
• Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The reason:  Look no further than what has happened to sheila sport when a couple of pooftas decided they wanted in.

 Add that most "women's" sport is actually blokes sport played poorly by sheilas - lately of both sexes.

Gone!

 Yet another DEI hire gone.

Gone, just like that. three in a couple of weeks.

Maybe health care in New Zealand will become available for humans again.

Mr Musk would be proud.

The Only Time.....

 in recorded history a TMP clown has made a factual statement and now he has to apologise for it.

For breaking the State Secrets Act no doubt.

Public Servants

 The headline (Pravda):

Ex-public servants still searching for work after last year's public sector cuts

The reality:

 

Market Exposes Value of ex-Public Servants

Mt Egmont

 Mt Egmont is about to become a person.

When someone injures themself while on the mountain will the Dept. of Labour (by whatever vowel-rich name they call themselves now) prosecute the mountain as they do with humans?

Assuming the mountain doesn't pay it's fine, where will they imprison it?

 

Quits

 

The headline: Health NZ boss Margie Apa resigns

Another DEI hire bites the dust.

Maybe Trump is good for New Zealand as well.

Raid

 In 1830 a murderous PoS from the Taranaki region called, I believe, Te Rapraha, hopped on a visiting European ship with his cohort of co-murderers and sailed down to Canterbury.

There he and his mates proceeded to fight, murder or enslave approx nine out of every ten Ngai Tahu tribesmen he encountered.

A contemporary account mentions a number of "meat packs" being loaded aboard the ship for the return journey.

An official Ngai Tahu historian told me there were approx 350 Ngai Tahu left alive after the raid. Most of those were old men and women and women (usually with child) who had been hidden from the raiders.

The historian told me that this group numbered about 350 spread over the area from Akaroa and Lyttleton to Kaiapoi.

The only way Ngai Tahu in Canterbury survived was a deliberate program of breeding with visiting seamen (mainly white) off the whaling, sealing and flax-trading boats.

Hence the numbers of red-headed "maori" running around when settlers started arriving around 1850.

I mention this history because I note the current (shamefully given he's a racist liar) Prime Minister spent Waitangi day among the descendants of this group. Basically he spent the day among sunburnt white people.

What a shame he didn't spend maori-troublemaker day with his maori mates.

A couple of other questions arise from this historical foray:

1/ Meatpacks? Before the introduction of bovine, ovine, equine or porcine species to the region.

2/ Why, as with the Chathams murderous raid, did the Taranaki outfit need to use white-man's ships if they were, as we are so often told, masters of the seas and oceans?

Editing Suggestion

 The headline:

"It's only going to get worse": Labour 'perplexed' by Govt's new Kainga Ora plan

The headline factualised:  

Labour Perplexed!

GO!

 The Mexican ambassador is at Waitangi and will meet with Mr Peters.

They will apparently talk about Mr Jones' comment to a communist MP.

One would hope that Mr Peters will tell the ambassador to fuck off back to kow-tow-to-Trump land and take the communist poof with him.

This would, of course, be the only sensible option.

???

 The story.

Shouldn't that be "Hopper loses leg"?

No, It Wasn't!

 I read once again today the assertion that "The Treaty" (I assume the 1840 one) was between Queen Victoria (on behalf of Britain) and approx 500 Maori chiefs.

The signatories of the treaty were about 500 strong, this is correct. It is the "chiefs" bit that needs to be checked.

The 500 included, despite New Zealand law specifically excluding them, 13 (according to Wikipedia) women.

Basically the treaty crowd toured the treaty around New Zealand getting anyone with a brown skin and a heap of vowels to "sign" it.

The "Treaty" is nothing more than a curio from 1840 and should be sent to a museum where it belongs.

Guilty!

 

Of course he's a crook.

His name is Jayson Alexander Herewini.

Anyone called Jayson is automatically guilty until proved innocent.

Heaven Destroyed

 Your standing there, in the forest, enjoying nature. Enjoying nature's "silence".

Standing still, as is your wont, just listening to the birds, the bees, the insects and the noise wind makes as it meanders through the branches, stirs the leaves and needles on the ground around you.

At peace with the World.

Then, out of nowhere, some brown, bearded, unkempt, sandal clad nutbar, her tiny dweeb halfwit partner in tow, invades your space with loud, wierd noise-making devices that don't just shatter the peace you enjoy so much but also drive away the birds and insects that create that quiescent atmosphere.

They will take forever to return!

For a bonus they throw odorous oil on you.

Can Kauri trees sue for breach of peace?

A Solution?

Committee.

 Paraphrasing, Sir Brian Roche has, as he was commissioned to, found the cause of much waste in the Public Service.

Too much "administration, too many committees.

To find the way to overcome this problem he has set up a committee.

Meat

 I like cold meat, particularly cold roasted beef. 

Just before Xmas I parked outside of a butchery in Rangiora. 

Having pretty much given up on meat and limiting myself to just buying cheap cuts because of the water content added to meat by most retailers I no more than glanced in the window but I did note a sign advertising beef mince on "special".

I wanted some (hamburger steaks are a favorite) so I purchased a kilo.

It was edible so I decided this week to investigate the shop more.

I wandered in and, after a look and noting prices were about what I paid elsewhere, I purchased some more minced beef and a topside roast (in sealed packaging). The roast was about 1.3Kg and cost me $22.

I cooked the roast on my BBQ.

To my surprise it didn't shrink to half it's size. It was all meat.

I have just shared the fourth meal off that piece with the flies and there is still plenty left (probably one more cold-meat meal, a snack and some rissoles to finish).

It also tastes bloody great!

The butchery is PNP Farm's Butchery specialising in Angus Beef. High Street, Rangiora. Their website advises that they are also in Auckland and Christchurch.

I recommend it - further I intend to purchase all my meat from there from now on.

Well done that butchery!
