Consider this old line

'If you have done nothing wrong, you should have nothing to hide.'

"...Police officers who shot dead a teenager are going to unprecedented lengths, including requesting to use a Darth Vader-style voice distorter in court, to keep their identity a secret.

The officers – known only as Officers A81 and A84 – went to the High Court at Auckland yesterday because they fear being "paraded" before the media and the family of the dead youth, Halatau Naitoko..."

How many times have I heard senior cops throw out that line!

'If you have done nothing wrong, you should have nothing to hide.'

Sauce for the goose...

UPDATE:

I need to add that I actually SUPPORT the right of police officers not to be dragged through the media as was Keith Abbott.

I want their senior ranks to extend the SAME right to civillians who are in a similar situation- like Greg Carvell.

Featherston Christmas Market

UPDATE:

Due to foul weather yeaterday- it is on TODAY 1200-1600

Bring huge wads of cash and an appetite!

This event is inspired by Christmas Markets in Europe. It combines New Zealand traditions with those from the Northern Hemisphere. A range of gifts, food and entertainment, all Christmas related with an opportunity to do some Christmas shopping. Enjoy the Christmas tree lights and the carols by candlelight finale. To be held at St Teresa's School in Bell Street, Featherston from 6pm to 10pm. Any funds raised will go back to St Teresa's School and the Featherston Community.

This is worth a visit for the food fair that goes with it!

And if it goes really well, my wife- who is one of organisers- will be pleased and I might get sex.

School Fundraisers

After four hours working in the rain for an event that had to be cancelled due to wind & rain- It would be a lot simpler to just donate $65 per kid (thats what last years effort brought in)

But of course all those out there working in the wind & rain are the same ones that would happily cough up for their kids.

Those NOT out there working in the wind & rain are also the ones who wouldn't put hand to wallet.

Guess which group outnumbers the other?

There is a lesson in this somewhere...

National Socialists at it again

"John Key would like to see the families of those killed in the Erebus disaster get the chance to visit the crash site, and the Government could play a role in getting them there."

Sod off!

Here is the great NZ grievance/victim industry snuffling at the trough again.

Let's get it right here- the TAXPAYERS are the the mugs who would foot the bill. For the government to pay, those troughers would have to dip into their own pockets. Something about as likely as a Frenchman living next door to a brothel moving house.

Do ALL those others who lost a family member through negligence or misadventure get a trip costing thousands 30 YEARS after the event?- I think not!

Anyway- it was 30 years ago- move on.

Meddlers In Time- A Synopsis

The story starts several years before the main tale, with two of the main characters narrowly escaping from a trip to their near future, gone wrong.

They decide to create a new, and hopefully more friendly universe, by causing a split in time, back in the 9^th century.

In order to advance the technology of the 9^th century and build a power base, they set about recruiting a team of down-on-their-luck engineers and adventurers, with the lure of large sums of money, adventure and the chance escape their lives! For a one-year tour and a return to the same time and place, they are offered information worth a great deal of money- namely winning lotto numbers and sports betting information!

The reality of the mission sets in for the team, when they find themselves on another planet, Transit, hundreds of light-years from home. Here they train for the mission and learn how to use the time/space gateway to acquire all manner of equipment, from desiel to trains.

Training completed they jump back in time to 9^th century England, landing in the Derbyshire area with a huge store of supplies and equipment. They set up a prefabricated stronghold and in their first few weeks save a local village from sure destruction. Soon the local people start to accept these strangers, who turn out to be not so terrifying as they first seemed. Fields are being ploughed, timber milled, wells drilled and even telephones are installed. Trade flourishes, thanks to the new roads and a few bloody executions of robbers and bandits.

Meanwhile, a more deadly game is being conducted from Transit, as the city of Rome is destroyed and the 9^th century religious leaders are systematically and sometimes spectacularly assassinated.

Expecting to winter over quietly, they are surprised by the arrival of a large invading army from Europe. Despite being short on numbers, they utterly rout the invaders at the outskirts of the city of Sheffield.

Local workers are recruited- reluctantly at first, but they soon adapt to what is for them- a life of relative comfort and ease. Before long, working for the strangers brings high status. As the best of the local workers adapt to modern life, they are being prepared to be the next generation of leaders.

Another stronghold is established, in a more remote area out of sight of the locals. Here more material and reinforcements arrive. They set about improving the basic facilities of the original stronghold and adding a few home comforts! The district warms more and more to the mysterious travelers as they build roads, provide medicine (compliments of a medical team rescued from a Afghan jail) and bring law and order to a wild time and place.

Word reaches the King, who sends men to investigate these stories from the north. This band of soldiers are meet by the time-travelers and left in no doubt that the stories of their power are true. The Kings men are feasted and sent back loaded with gifts of swords and tools, having also had some spectacular demonstrations of 20^th century weaponry.

Appeased by treasure but also made all the more curious, the King decides he must see for himself. He rides forth with his horsemen to see the steel fortress and ‘thunder bows’ with his own eyes. He has decided that an alliance would be the prudent course of action and readily grants the request for all lands ten miles around, in exchange for protection from the north.

Over the winter months, a local militia is equipped and drilled, while the tradesmen of the district come to learn the secrets of the strangers. The future leaders of tomorrow begin their education. Roading and mineral exploration continue and as the team get to know each other better, the stories regarding how the time/space gate generator was obtained and the effects of using it are revealed.

As the end of a one year tour of duty draws to an end, most of the team have elected to stay on, while those who have decided to leave the 9^th century, start to prepare to return to their old lives- and their new beginnings.

Meddlers in Time Part Two- A Synopsis

This story starts with three of the characters persuading their wives to travel back in time with them.other of the original group are signing up a permanent members of the group.

Not everyone is happy about the arrival of the strangers and there is a shift in the balance of power with the king deposed. Now is the time for a show of power- with 20th century weaponry and the devestating use of gate technology.

After the fate of their enemies is settled, the story jumps back four years in the baseline time, to a camp in New Zealand, 790AD. This gives a bit of background on some of the characters, as they start the first practice run for the 9^th century operation. Some of the technology not revealed in the first book is used here.

In the next part, an ambitious plan to hijack a ship at sea is carried out and a new crew member is gained. A colony site is prepared in New Zealand and the story of how the gate generator was acquired is told in more detail.

A brief covert mission is carried out in the 21^st century, to deal with a personal problem, with unpleasant consequences for an unwanted boyfriend. The second engineering team arrives and a spacehip makes its first appearance.

Loose ends are tied up back in the 21^st century, as team members travel back to the time and place we first proposed the mission. Meanwhile, colonists are selected for the one-way trip to 9^th century New Zealand and their leaders are shown their new home. Along the way we find time to build a holiday home- in a most unconventional way.

The new technology is taking hold and the nearby citys are benefiting. Wayne tell the story of how he destroyed a world and a local worker joins the team.of travellers and visits the 21^st century. More high tech equipment is coming into use, with memory implants being used on talented locals.

The colonist are more or less willingly moved around the world and the team prepares to snatch a busload of 20th century engineers who are plumetting over a cliff. The locally trained army prepares for two battles and there is an unexpected turn of events when a set of memories is misplaced.

The narration is taken over by a newly-sentient computer and some of the 52^nd century characters are revealed. Another interesting character comes onto the scene and an intricate scheme for a staged 'death' on 21^st century earth is carried out.

Bodies are cloned and an unexpected price is demanded for this service.

The book finishes with a wedding and the story of the third book is started at the wedding party.

Don't buggerize about with this!

"Wellington police are investigating three drive-by shooting incidents where people have been shot at with a paintball gun.

Yesterday a cyclist and a pedestrian were shot at in Wadestown about 4.15pm, Acting Senior Sergeant Corey Watts of Wellington police said..."

I would show no mercy to those that play silly-buggers with these or imitation firearms for that matter. Paintball guns HURT- which is fine when you are playing paintball with other consenting adults- but not when innocent persons are shot at.

Throw the bloody book at them and charge them with aggrevated assault or suchlike!

Creative justice would have these twats sent to a paintball club to be taught the meaning of pain!

Sunday Sermon- Tiger-Tiger!

How often do you hear folks talk about how 'The Government' will come to our aid in troubled times?

It is true that they will turn out- but as often as not late, in the wrong place and/or not in a position to be of any actual use.

In the late sixties/early seventies a tiger escaped from Wellington Zoo. Leaping to the defense of the city, a group of troops from Shelley Bay and Dorset were rounded up and issued with the latest and greatest new SLR's. A little on the light side for Panthera tigris for my liking, but soldiering is a contact sport and you have a reassuring 20 round magazine on said SLR.

So the troops/tiger bait debus at Newtown and are issued ammunition.

Now troopies who are about to go on safari notice little details that quartermasters chose not to.

"Sarn't Major- these bullets won't fit!"

"Suddup and sign for them!"

So off they went looking for (or trying not to look for) kitty with 7.62 rifles and .303 ammunition.

The police, having not been blessed with nice new SLR's, managed to shoot the Tiger with one of their .303's- which happily came with the correct ammunition.

This is the sort of silly thing that used to (and still does) happen all the time...

UPDATE:

I made the premium catalogue!

Smashwords have formatting criteria to meet and produce a great guide on how to achieve this using Word. I now know a LOT more about using the functions of this software- I was also finally forced to design a better cover!

I have always been hopeless at using imaging software, but when you are actually MOTIVATED...

Free advice of Libertarianz- and others!

(Which may or may not be worth what you pay for it)

• I have always found it more productive to support somebody moving slowly to your position.

• Constantly challenging people who are starting to lean in the right direction just pisses them off.

• I try to sell one idea at a time. If they buy that one, move on to the next.

• Start with smaller ideas first.

• Save the big picture for later- just give practical alternatives for real-world problems.

• Think more about nuts and bolts- HOW to make pay roads work with technology.

• Can the 'gone by lunchtime' talk- it scares the horses!

• Talk about phase-outs, transitions and timeframes.

• Work on topical issues. Give a practical solution.

• The right to self defense is an easier sell than legalising sub-machineguns- and need to come first.

• DON'T EVANGALIZE!- EVER! You have some great ideas and some that may need a little tweeking, but are not tooo bad- but NOBODY will listen to one who comes across as a sanctimonious arsehole!
  

• 'Softly, softly- catchee monkey'- now write it out a thousand times!

They believe themselves to be principled people too

Fanaticism- I can do without it!


'A skunk is better company than a person who prides himself on being "frank" - RAH.

On Libertarianz

They represent the ideals that are closest aligned with my own- although I disagree with certain areas, such as immigration. On the whole I like and agree with what they have to say.

But damn, so many of them can be an evangelizing pain in the arse in the same way Greenies are with their oh-so precious ideals!

In the real world (the one where Libertarianz votes barely show on the radar) our ideals get a little bent- after all, they are IDEALS. We strive towards them and sometimes achieve them. As often as not, we wind up making the best of a bad situation.

We take out family tax credits, we get treated on ACC and our kids go to public schools.

We live in a world with a political system we don't agree with or like- but we are stuck with it. One day- not anytime soon- it WILL grow up into a model we like. (not in MY lifetime though)

In the meantime, you need allies and friends if you wish to grow.

Try not pissing them all off...

Before and after

Piano stool- TradeMe $15

Sandpaper, leather & varnish- about another $20

Smug 'clever bastard' feeling- priceless!

200k

I just noticed this site passed the 200,000 visitor mark a couple of days ago!

Onwards to a million!

You are kidding...right....

No.

"Double murderer Graeme Burton, whose leg was amputated after being shot by police, received a $10,000 leg which was paid for by taxpayers..."

That's ten grand that SHOULD have spent teaching cops to shoot straighter! If they could hit center of mass, this problem would have gone away. And don't get me started on how he should have been hung in the first place...

At most, Hopalong should have gotten a skateboard to slide his arse along the floor- subject to good behaviour.

Time for an upgrade

In 1991 I was told that I would need a tin knee in the future. The surgeon recommended I wait as long as I could, as the technology was continually improving.

Two operations later- the last one seven years ago- I think the time has come.

Grinding bone on bone, the damned thing now hurts like hell most of the time.

For the record, the initial damage was done by a drunk speeding along 37 years ago- I survived a 70kph collision with a vehicle- something most people are killed by.

Let's now see how the ACC system works.

I will keep you posted...

UPDATE

A quick examination- yes, crepitus and its off for an x-ray.

UPDATE

Arthritis- take some pills and put up with it.

A day to stay home

Tommorrow is the day when the area gets inundated with loud, obnxious drunks who leave a trail of debris from one end of the area to the other.

Fighting, vomiting and urinating in the streets. Loud music and screaming from intoxicated women in slutty clothing. More drunks staggering about than on the main street of Hokitika on ANZAC day.

Everyone getting stopped going about their lawful business as the cops search for the small handful of pissed drivers.

And who would be a train or bus cleaner on a day like this!

Yes, it's that time of year again!

How to get away with murder

In NZ, this is easy.

Just have a couple of drinks and run the victim down with your car!

You probably won't even get charged with manslaughter!

Now would you quit spending our money telling us how serious drunk-driving is. The courts are sending a different message...

Hooray for trademe!

Nine books from The Master for $26!

No blogging tonight - I'm off to Mars with RAH!

Some of the news is good

We forgot

Most of us have forgotten.

Forgotten the sacrifice made by so many fighting invaders and aggressors.

Otherwise why would we now let them march in through the front gate...

Hey you mofos!

What a load or arse!

"It is clear he [Burton] was determined, he was forceful and he assaulted Mr Marsh."

But that did not mean Burton had tried to murder Marsh, Mr Tomlinson said.

"It has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Burton had intended to kill, if that can not be proven then the jury must acquit," Mr Tomlinson told the court..."

(Bold Mine)

Who are you trying to fool?

As the prosecution said:

Ms Bell said the Crown had proved that Burton intended to murder Marsh.

"Why else would you stab someone three times to the chest if you did not intend to kill them?"

Indeed.

Now HERE is a classic poster boy for the death penalty!

I favour something creative in the coliseum- how about we see if hopalong can outrun a hungry saltwater croc?

And now for something completely different

A bit of praise for the local public health system!

I show no mercy to 'providers' wasteful and inefficent use of taxpayers money- but to be fair, I will also praise those who do their jobs well (doesn't happen often, but on the 'million monkeys with typewriters' principle...) I would prefer another system, but I'm stuck with this one- so I'm glad not everything is FUBAR.

I went to my GP with an old condition that has been deteriorating. Withing two days I had recieved an appointment time for x-rays some two weeks later- I consider that good, as my problem is not serious (as in life-threatening) and its a slow deterioration that can wait. The magic pills make that a bit easier!

I was seen within 5 minutes of the time on my scheduled appointment and out 15 minutes later.

Thats about as good as it gets!

But this is just the start, so lets see how things continue...

Diversity- it ain't worth it.

According to George Bush and now the Magic Kenyan™ we're not at war with islam. My question is: WHY NOT? Islam is at war with us.

Scum that need putting down

"Caleb Phillips, who suffers from severe cerebral palsy and cannot speak or move, had his $20,000 DynaVox touchscreen – his only means of communication - stolen on Saturday from his bed while his mother Zara was hanging out washing outside on the clothesline...

...Caleb had seen the thief who would have had to lean over him to take it off his electric bed where Caleb was playing with it..."

The lowlife that did this needs urgently putting down. A subhuman that would commit such an act is too dangerous to leave alive at at large.

It sickens me to know that there are those out there that would do such a thing. To remove them from this world would be no harder than spraying a room full of flies.

The media LOVE to bang on about the BNP, but...

...look at what we have here in NZ!

"...Hingston conceded Harawira's email comments, in which he rallied against "white motherf*****s", were "unpleasant," but said the MP was provoked by reference to his wife Hilda.

"There is a Maori way of seeing things and a Pakeha way," said Hingston, who played down the prospect of serious disciplinary action by the party. When Wanganui sort out their mayor we'll sort out Hone..."

That would be right- Laws is the only media person with the bottle to call these racist scum out for what they are- so they try to transfer their bullshit to him.

The Nats need to grow a pair and send this ship of fools off into oblivion.

Traditional

I still have a few of these in my illicit fireworks cache!

I have been saving them until my son was old enough to take part in the traditional 'blow shit up in the back yard' Guy Fawkes warmup. Today it was airbursts, burying them in the sandpit, blowing up lemons, plastic tractors and launching plastic drink bottles.

Some of the good clean fun the wowsers have forbidden us...

I hope those that voted to dismantle the nanny state aren't expecting the Nats to make a meaningful effort to do so...

Just to be different

The franchise

THAT:

A citizen of mature age (21+), sound mind and in good standing in the community (roughly the same criterea needed for a firearms license)

WHO has completed a (defined) term of duty in a disciplined service,

OR has been a net taxpayer over the period of their working life,

SHALL BE: entitled to one vote in any central or local government election or refferendum.

Education doesn't seen to work

Why don't we stop wasting our money on trying to educate piss-heads?

It just isn't working. Drinking then driving has been promoted as a dumb idea for a long time now, but has failed to get through.

So where to go?

Breath screening interlocks on all vehicles?- La-la land material.

More police on the roads? (the one area in NZ that actually gets police resources- or should I say the uniformed branch of the IRD)

Tougher penalties?- How much tougher would it take to get through?
Flogging?
Lifetime bans?
Lengthy mandatory imprisonment?
The Death penalty?

OR

Just work on the areas where there is a chance of a return for the effort.

Raising the driving age
Raising the drinking age
Breath screening interlocks for convicted drink-drivers
Lifetime bans for repeat offenders
Lowering the alcohol limit

Because sure as hell the current system isn't working as well as it need to!

UPDATE:

I have been thinking more about this and it is not on punishing those who have done no wrong! keep the limit where it is- the problem drinkers are the ones WAY over the limit.

How about a mandatory two week prison sentence for offenders and a fine to cover the cost of their imprisonment?
THAT would be a wake-up call to many!

I remember the 'stunned bunny' air of one piss-head imprisoned for drink-driving- prison was something of a 'culture shock'! (if you are tempted to be sympathetic- it was his NINTH conviction- that's what it takes to get locked up for DIC!)

TRIPE!

"...Half of New Zealand's 12-year-olds are projected to fail the new maths standard, sparking parent protests that the Government is setting up a new "education underclass"...

"These children are going to be very publicly and very visibly labelled as failures," the leader of the new group, Dellis Hunt, said...."

TRIPE!

Here is a hard fact of life.

HALF of all people are below average intelligence.

That is how life works, yet we don't have half of us consigned to oblivion.

There are still plenty needed to fetch water and hew wood- while we don't have as many stables to muck out, we now have the warehouse for those who don't win a prize in the sweepstake of life.

And there is still the public service...

An old Chestnut

As the drinking age has been topical, I keep hearing that old chestnut 'If you can join the army and die for your country, you should be allowed to have a drink'

Fair enough- raise the drinking age to 21 with an exception for all those who die for their country!

Another problem solved!

Inevitabe fuckwittery

Had a near miss today on the Rimutaka hill- a van suddenly pulled off the road sans indicators.

Yes- to take a phone call!

I wonder how many rear-enders there will be this week as the brainless classes pull over without warning as their life-support systems ring.

Awash in a sea of the permanently baffled...

UPDATE:

Now that I remember, this happened about 500 meters from where Speed Racer went for a flying lesson last week!

Now THAT is a carbon footprint!
