My opinions on matters of the day that, generally, have pissed me off. Being described as a 'Surly Curmudgeon', by those who meet me on a good day, I have a poor regard for the human species. This is my place for my free speech- not bloody yours. Crap under your own rock.

Play the race card, as always
East Coast MP and Police Minister Anne Tolley said today that Turei, lived in a castle and wore designer clothes.
Speaking during the debate on the Prime Minister John Key's opening statement to Parliament, Tolley said she was insulted by Green Party claims that she was out of touch.
She said said her role as an electorate MP included meetings with constituents who were among the poorest in the country.
"I'm actually insulted to be lectured about how out of touch I am with average New Zealand by a list MP who has no constituents, lives in a castle and comes to the House in $2000 designer jackets and tells me I'm out of touch," Tolley said…"
When the other side has gotten the better of you- play the bloody race card.
And Tolley then further wipes the floor with this idiot green:
"...Tolley described Turei's comments as "absolute nonsense".
"...Tolley described Turei's comments as "absolute nonsense".
"The Greens' co-leader is entitled to turn up in Parliament every day in expensive designer clothes, and good on her for doing just that," Tolley said.
"But don't then lecture everyone else about poverty..."

Looks idyllic...
The pictures posted yesterday are indeed Whale Bay. You would go a long way to find a more idyllic spot. White sands, trees right down to the beach, warm and crystal-clear waters and no crowds. It is a ten- minute walk from the car park and there is a modern and clean public toilet right at the beach. It's 30 minutes from town and sounds like the perfect spot for a day's outing.
Thanks to a group of volunteers who watch over the car park, can be (when there are there, that is)
Out of the holiday season, you don't park there or the natives will teach you what 'entitilitis' is- by ransacking your vehicle. Local have told me they used to park with the car unlocked and the windows down, just to stop them smashing in.
Now I see the police are out in force today along SH1 and every uniformed member of the IRD had a car pulled over. Would that they were so vigilant in the high crime areas AKA car parks, along the coastline. How hard would it be to lurk in the shrubbery and pounce on these thieving cockroaches? A 'bait car' with a few goodies left on the front seat ad you would need the prison bus to take away the trash.
Or is that too hard and who could blame the cops when these two legged rats will be told off by the judge and given 50 hrs community service- that they will never attend...

The first rule
"NO REAL LIFE MARTY MCFLY? Researchers have found no evidence of time travelers, such as Marty McFly from the Back to the Future movie franchise, bragging about their exploits online.
Time travellers, if they really exist, seem to be keeping their adventures to themselves.
Researchers with perhaps a bit too much time on their hands conducted an extensive internet and social media search for evidence of time travellers going back in history and then bragging about it online.
And they came up empty. No real life Dr Who or Marty McFly from the movie "Back to the Future" tweeting secrets a bit early.
Spurred by idle chat during Thursday poker games, an astrophysicist and his students at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, searched for mentions of Pope Francis and Comet ISON - before they popped into reality. Francis was elected pope last March and ISON was first detected in September 2012.
The idea: If someone mentions a Pope Francis in a 2011 tweet, Facebook post or blog item, then they must have come back from the future with special knowledge.
But no one posted anything prescient…"
Cretins!!!
The first rule of time traveling is- NEVER admit you can time travel!

Execution by mutt
I'm finding the story of one of the Kim Ill Mofo clan being executed by being fed to starving dogs a bit hard to believe.
I mean really- there are 120 dogs in North Korea that haven't already been eaten themselves?

Colin Craig veers to the left
DOUBLE the tax on alcohol indeed!
Straight out of the mouths of the enemy.
What your demographic* wants to hear is that you will PUNISH the ABUSERS.
Bring back the crime of Drunk and DISORDERLY in a pubic place. A night in a nasty cell and a stiff fine.
Alcohol related medical treatment cops a bill for the cost of treatment.
Simple, really- now write it out a hundred times!
*- and a few of the left, I suspect. Their principles (such as they have) are somewhat flexible when party policies impact on their pleasures or pockets

Dumpster deli- poverty of imagination
Left with just $50 for food some are risking their health or being arrested for stealing from supermarkets and shops to provide for their families.
One Masterton woman has admitted to dumpster diving and stealing food and local advocates say she isn't the only one resorting to breaking the law to feed children..."
I recall tales of the depression era from grandparents who lived through them. Hard times are not exactly a new phenomena, nor will they ever totally go away. What I heard was that kids did not starve- they just had to eat what was set before them and that meant cheap and little variety. Hell, variety then meant what was seasonal for almost everyone.
Staples were home-grown vegetables- spuds, silverbeet and cabbage. Bread was replaced with fried scones and the only sweetening was golden syrup. Meat was a luxury if you didn't hunt or fish- or trade with somebody who did.
Fried scones can be made for next to nothing and sure beat an empty stomach. Id you must have drink or tobacco, both can be had for very little. Tobacco is easy to grow (it's just a weed) and to cure. Seasonal fruit can be fermented (windfall apples are available for the taking)
Come to think of it, if the washing machine breaks, there is always the bar soap and washboard that has served for many generations.
It's just a fact of life that if you are poor, you are not entitled to the luxuries of the more affluent.
Televisions, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, SKY TV, microwave ovens, dvd players- these are not essential for life. Nor do you need pre-prepared food.
Go the the local library and get a few historical books on how people lived a century ago. Learn how to work with what you have- which is much more than your great-grandparents had.

Armageddon out and never going back
I was coerced into attending Armageddon 2013 (kids)
At least now I have experienced rush hour on the Tokyo subway, without spending a lot of money to do so. Although I suspect the Japanese would be more liberal with deoderants.
It could have been an amusing and interesting day in a decent sized venue or with restricted ticket sales and a few vendors would have gotten money of me, had I been able to get to them.
The event was a victim of it's own popularity, really...

One of us is doing it wrong
Many of us dream of retiring and sitting on the beach fishing all day, then going home for a few cold ones. Every day.
I'm told the bums a couple of doors up the street have been doing that for 30+ years.
Isn't it nice that folks like us get to pick up the tab...
BRING BACK THE WORKHOUSE!

Not funny
"Kiwis who believe laughter is the best medicine can now gain a degree in the subject, with the country's first medical clowning qualification to be launched this December.
Professional "care clown" Dr Thomas Petschner has brought the qualification to New Zealand through Steinbeis University in Berlin.
Those who seek to become qualified clowners can do a certificate, diploma or full bachelor of arts in medical clowning.
The university's International Institute for Medical Clowning is the first of its kind, with 240 people enrolled to study medical clowning worldwide... "
Well, I always thought that the B.A. stood for Bugger-All.
This sort of confirms that belief...
