Sympathy is for victims
Not for the dumbarse that brought the misery on himself.
He may have been a 'good boy' who is now all broken over killing one young girl and maiming another. That's tough- he is still alive.
He will still (probably) be alive when he gets out after a token prison sentence.
He will be alive to get over it.
If he is miserable and repentant now- that is how it should be!
Apparently- "He's too scared to have fun."
'Fun' being scaring people by hooning about on a motorbike?
And-"He's a thoughtful, caring kid, and he's always thinking about other people."
Not on that night he wasn't! Remembering that he had been told to slow down several times already.
Then- "...Nikita, who started riding motorbikes on the family farm at the age of 10 and has been a competitive motocross rider for almost two years..."
So he's not a first-time rider and inexperience is not a factor. That paints a much grimmer picture...

A good start
"...A Gisborne judge made an example of a tagger yesterday when he jailed him for 42 days..."
Good show! Of course the prick should have received a good flogging and a day in the stocks as well!
The charge is 'Willful Damage' which accurately describes the act. When these arseholes are caught they need to receive a little willful damage themselves!
Tar & feathers is another punishment that comes to mind...

A breath of fresh air!
For months all I have heard are tales of gloom.
A couple of days ago I was rum-inspired to email an old friend I haven't talked to for a some years.
She has had two babies, her business and her husbands are booming and all is good. I will be catching up with them- for the first time in ten years- in a couple of months. I'm really looking forward to meeting up with people doing well! So many are divorcing, in recovery, or generally hating the life, the Universe and everything.
Some might think I'm like that, but it's not true. What I hate is the way the world is GOING!
It was so great to hear from a couple doing well and enjoying life!
Despite all that the powers that be do to make it otherwise...

Happy, shiny people?
"...The number of people receiving the sickness benefit due to depression has more than doubled in the past five years..."
What depresses the crap out of me is the amount of income tax I'm paying!
It's not just being on the dole thats depressing!

Voluntary taxation
Not quite, but here is somebody who has asked for voluntary payment for his services.
Some tell us that people won't pay for anything unless forced (usually by das state)
Read Chris Muir's story and see the opposite happen!

We're goning on a Moa hunt...
An Australian is adamant the moa is alive and well in remote North Island bush and aims to prove it with photographic evidence next month.
Nothing like that overwhelming optimism that totally ignores the facts in front of your face!
Still- I'd like to see him find one. (I want to know what they taste like!)
"...Gilroy, a cryptozoologist (studies hidden animals), says he discovered 35 separate ground prints on a previous visit in 2001 which suggested a colony of up to 15 birds..."
A cryptologist is a critter that I didn't know existed!
He may have this right, though:
"...He's also convinced about the existence of the yowie – in his words: "a homo erectus – a tool making, fire making hominid."
I'm seeing quite a few of them over the holiday period. Usually seen dragging their knuckles on the pavements outside the shops or on the front doorstep of their squalid huts, drinking beer...

The surgery is estimated to cost around $20,000 and Casey Voges, 29, is planning legal action to force authorities to let him have the procedure in prison..."

Blog Rankings
A round of applause for Tim of Tumeke!
A lot of work has gone into this ranking of NZ blogs. While any method will draw it's criticisms (blogs with multiple authors, defunct blogs, etc), it's all subjective in the end.
I'm delighted with my 59th place- after all, I make no effort to cater for the masses. They can take their unwashed bodies elsewhere!

"...The Corrections Department has been forced to explain why two staff members attended a work Christmas function dressed as a suspected terrorist and accused mass murderer - both of whom have been inmates in New Zealand jails..."
SO FRIGGIN WHAT!
I tell you one thing- it certainly wouldn't be custodial staff- they don't get frickin' Christmas parties- THAT sort of extravagance is only for the pen-pushers!
Corrections wouldn't give the front-line troops the steam of their piss!

The consequence-free world strikes again
This cretin is due a flogging (for starters) Won't get it though!
I was at the local beach yesterday and commented to the wife that parents that by kids these bikes need a good kick up the arse. For us it was simply a noise issue. The next day, it's another parents worst nightmare.
But hey- he's only 15 and can't possibly know right from wrong! Don't destroy his life with a prison sentence!
BULLSHIT!
Old enough to be operating a motor vehicle, old enough to be responsible for the consequences. You want to play with big boys toys, you take a big boys punishment when you screw up. If you can't do that- stick to your BMX!
"...Daisy, aged 13, died in Whangarei Hospital yesterday morning, just a few days before her 14th birthday this Friday.
Her friend, also aged 13, remains stable in hospital with serious injuries, which the Herald understands include a broken leg and smashed hip.
A 15-year-old boy, who was driving the motocross bike and suffered minor injuries, has been interviewed by police over the crash and been referred to youth aid..."

The Deadliest Catch
Hard men doing a hard, hard job- for big rewards!
That's what made us- risk-takers who put it all on the line. Not girly-boys scared of tearing a knuckle or losing a nights sleep. Not wimps who have to run inside when they get wet.
A job where respect is earned the hard way and failure to measure up is not tolerated.
Men living hard and making big money- or maybe losing their lives.
Inspiring stuff!

Weight loss plan
This is one Christmas that I have not been overeating.
Some strain of nasty has gotten into my inards and while the grosser effects have passed, I have no appetite and bloat really easily.
I have dropped about 4kg since the 26th when the trouble started.
All I have to do is keep it going for another three weeks!

Albert and the Tiger
There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool,
That's noted for fresh-air and fun,
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Went there with young Albert, their son.
A grand little lad was their Albert
All dressed in his best; quite a swell
'E'd a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle
The finest that Woolworth's could sell.
They didn't think much to the ocean
The waves, they was fiddlin' and small
There was no wrecks... nobody drownded
'Fact, nothing to laugh at, at all.
So, seeking for further amusement
They paid and went into the zoo
Where they'd lions and tigers and cam-els
And old ale and sandwiches too.
There were one great big lion called Wallace
His nose were all covered with scars
He lay in a som-no-lent posture
With the side of his face to the bars.
Now Albert had heard about lions
How they were ferocious and wild
And to see Wallace lying so peaceful
Well... it didn't seem right to the child.
So straight 'way the brave little feller
Not showing a morsel of fear
Took 'is stick with the'orse's 'ead 'andle
And pushed it in Wallace's ear!
You could see that the lion didn't like it
For giving a kind of a roll
He pulled Albert inside the cage with 'im
And swallowed the little lad... whole!
Then Pa, who had seen the occurrence
And didn't know what to do next
Said, "Mother! Yon lions 'et Albert"
And Mother said "Eeh, I am vexed!"
So Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Quite rightly, when all's said and done
Complained to the Animal Keeper
That the lion had eaten their son.
The keeper was quite nice about it
He said, "What a nasty mishap
Are you sure that it's your lad he's eaten?"
Pa said, "Am I sure? There's his cap!"
So the manager had to be sent for
He came and he said, "What's to do?"
Pa said, "Yon lion's 'eaten our Albert
And 'im in his Sunday clothes, too."
Then Mother said, "Right's right, young feller
I think it's a shame and a sin
For a lion to go and eat Albert
And after we've paid to come in!"
The manager wanted no trouble
He took out his purse right away
And said, "How much to settle the matter?"
And Pa said "What do you usually pay?"
But Mother had turned a bit awkward
When she thought where her Albert had gone
She said, "No! someone's got to be summonsed"
So that were decided upon.
Round they went to the Police Station
In front of a Magistrate chap
They told 'im what happened to Albert
And proved it by showing his cap.
The Magistrate gave his o-pinion
That no-one was really to blame
He said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms
Would have further sons to their name.
At that Mother got proper blazing
"And thank you, sir, kindly," said she
"What waste all our lives raising children
To feed ruddy lions? Not me!"
Moral of the story?
Don't tease the fucking Tiger!
We probably won't ever really know if the did, but I'm reminded of a similar scenario at Wellington zoo. I was watching the Lions when a group of kids started winding up a lion on the other side of a plexiglass window. This animal was charging the window and the kids though this was hilarious. I ordered my wife and kids out. I rarely take that tone with them and they left immediately. The other damned fools had no appreciation of the power of these animals

- Reintroduction of the Death Penalty, flogging and an annual decimation in prisons.
- Lindsay Mitchell wins a seat and in a deal between Nats and ACT, is appointed Minister of Social Welfare (or whatever they call it now)

Lemmings on the move
Happens every year at this time.
People living at one end of the country get an unexplainable urge to rush to the other end of the country.
And they all leave Mr Brain at home. Which could explain why credit card spending goes through the roof at this time.
If I had it my way (I don't) I would be retreating into the hills for a couple of weeks, as I used to do in my younger days, to spend time hunting, fishing and growing facial hair.
With not a she-mountain isle-blocker, camper van driving retard or a subhuman wearing Crocs in sight!

Silent Night
Blissful peace!
Everyone else has gone out to look at Christmas lights.
I'm on-call and have two choices:
Stay home and have nothing happen
Go out and have my phone go nuts with fault calls
So stay home alone is the choice!
No doubt I will pay for this...

The imminent famine
I sure there must be one coming- going by the hordes buying up at Pak & Save today!
Honestly, the shops are only closed for two days! How much can you frickin' eat in that time.
But then looking at the numerous examples of Ambulocetus* blocking the aisles- quite a bit!
All I have left to do is pick up my ham on Monday, so I can avoid the Red Shed, Pak & Save and the other forms of retail hell for the really crazy days.
The seasonal insanity has also spread to the roads, going by the low-grade moron driving at 65km on the open road, oblivious to the rest of the world.
It's that or German Cortinas doing warp factor nine on their way to the cutsy holiday cottage in Martinborough or Greytown.
Normally I go into hiding at this time of year, but I'm working so I can't...

Inquest looms on 200-year-old skull
21.12.2007
By Don Farmer
An ancient skull of a white female found near Featherston and with what appears to be injuries inflicted on it could prove to be a testing finale for outgoing Masterton District Coroner Jock Kershaw.
A forensic scientist and a very experienced consultant forensic pathologist both examined the skull in Auckland.
Their conclusion was the skull was "not Maori" and "clearly the skull of an adult woman".
The experts put the time of death only as "beyond living memory" but when it was forwarded to the Environmental Science and Research laboratory for carbon-14 dating an accurate finding on its age was made.
Police are not willing to make public the age of the skull before the inquest but have confirmed, in information requested under the Official Information Act, the mid-1700s as being "in the ball park".
Could we have a few inaccuracies in the history books?
Never mind- this inconvenient find will soon disappear...

Perspective
All day lying in puddles, working in 100% humidity and covered in mud, oil and rust, straining to undo frozen bolts.
I thought that was a shit of a day.
Then I got an email from a chap I have known for years. He has been sliding downhill form depression for some years. It looks like he has reached the turnaround point now, but on catching up with his past couple of years- I decided my day, job and life are really nothing to complain about!

Oswalds Easy Eggnog
Forget the bullshit recipes found elsewhere. Eggnog is custard with booze added- that's about it. You don't need to make custard- the stuff in the supermarket works fine.
So:
Take one litre of ready-made custard
Whisk in 250 mls of cream and a cup (big) of dark rum, along with a teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
Is that easy or what?

We had them in the army too. They would fuck anything in a uniform. The consent issues might be dodgey by todays PC standards, but we are talking about a time when life was different.
There is an old saying 'there is none so righteous as a reformed whore'
That's about the size of it. There sleazy past comes up, so they deny it saying the were raped.

You cant judge the standards of 30 years ago by today.

“The meals on Christmas day are almost identical to that served on any other day with the added extra of a Christmas mince pie. The menu is the same across all 20 prisons.
News flash!- that might be 'Truly Awful' to a metrosexual tucker-fucker, but there are many thousands out there in NZ that would be delighted to receive that- not aghast.
Anything better for the inmate shit-heads is just like feeding a pig strawberries.
But he seems to gets the moral of the lesson- DON'T GO TO JAIL!
“Lunch is a portion of chicken, a serving of vegetables and a mince pie. Cold meat, salads and fruit will be dished up for dinner.
“While the meals are nutritious, they are by no means lavish.”
Meals are one thing Corrections gets about right- although they are soft on luxuries like tea and sugar.
However, I reckon Christmas should be a day of fasting- as should any day not spent working be!
One soft-cock doesn't agree:
"...Top Wellington chef Martin Bosley was aghast after seeing a photograph of the prison Christmas fare.
"That is truly awful," he said of the meal. "Your first thought is, 'Thank Christ I'm not in jail.' Imagine being sentenced to 18 years of that."
However, he said that, with a budget of $4 a day for three square meals, he would find it hard to create anything more appetising..."

Make the punishment fit the crime
This
Is not trivial- the cost of spam is enormous
I believe the punishment should fit the crime- thus all spammers are to be reduced to- Spam!
Put through an industrial-grade mincer, rendered down, seasoned and sold for dog tucker. (which is all Spam is fit for!)
If it won't sell as dog tucker, at least they won't take up much cell space!

"...About 95 per cent of emails this year - up from 70 per cent in 2006 - were classified as junk messages, according to a report from US security firm Barracuda, Agence France Presse reported.
Most of this is deleted by email filters run by Internet providers before it hits inboxes..."

Buy a Fireman a beer!
I can't praise those unpaid volunteers enough!
I was one of the first on the scene of a nasty crash an hour ago. The vehicle had hit a power pole, the driver was badly injured and the ute was on fire.
With my extinguisher and another from another first-aider we kept the fire down, but could not extinguish it.
The driver was trapped and there was no way we could get her out.
It was a real relief to see that fire crew arrive, just as the engine was starting to flare up, as we were near out of options!

Restricting slug guns is not exactly what I would do...
"Police in Tauranga doubt further restrictions on the use of slug guns will stop youths from committing crimes..."
They would be right. These morons simply can't look 15 seconds into the future and see what the results of their idiocy could be.
Story:
Well lets look at dropping restrictions on carrying ALL firearms. (For those who LEGALLY own them)
"...He says packs of youths looking for trouble is becoming all too common, and they seem to have no respect for the law..."
Well, I bet the little shitheads will respect a 230 grain chunk of lead & copper. The thought of getting a REAL slug in return may just deter them from waving weenie airguns about!
Just let us protect ouselves. The police, with the best of intentions, can't be everywhere...

On the Positive side
I'm always impressed with people who create or discover a new niche and make a business out of it.
Today I 'found' one, while looking for something for the wife. It's a local boutique that sells upmarket labels- second-hand.
The owner spends two days a week hunting down the good stuff amongst the dross in the second-hand shops, then resells it in her shop. I'm told you can get an outfit for something like a wedding or formal occasion for under $100.
Ladies, if you like a bargain and don't mind second-hand (as in worn once)

Thieving swine!
Hey you pinko shit-eaters! You know who you are- I've seen your IP addresses on my stats tracker and know you look in here.
Re-adjust the friggin tax tables, you bottom-dwelling scum sucking crapheads.
As you thieving bastards well know- they have not been matched to inflation in eight-odd years.
$800 in bloody tax last week. I should stop working 13+ hr days and let your friggin crappers dry up!

Sympathy- Zero
Nobody wants you, you piece of Shit!
What a friggin' surprise that nobody want the chief suspect in a double infanticide in their town!
Some advice for Mr Loser:

- Get the dorky ring out of your face when you are in court.
- Learn to like your own company.
- Cut lengthways, not across the wrist.

Shutting the stable door after the horse has buggered off
Typical of the Army- now that they have been burgled- they now have guards wandering around outside the museum! More Mickey-Mouse for the current intake.
(I have spies everywhere!)
To those who say that the thieves need dealing to by the SAS- I say NO!
Let them take a kicking by a bunch of WW2 vets.
Like being impaled on a blunt spike- it takes much longer....

A despicable act!
Charles Upham's Victoria Cross and bar is among prestigious military medals stolen from the Waiouru Army Museum.
Nine Victoria Crosses, two George Crosses and other medals were stolen in the theft early today.
Museum staff discovered that several displays had been broken into, after the alarm was activated in an annex to the building sometime between midnight and 6am.
Link: http://www.stuff.co.nz/4306566a10.htmlI'm going to take a guess that this is going to turn out to be a theft by activists. This property is too hot and too specialised to sell.
Any penalty on the books is not enough for these lowfife scum- whatever the reason!

Stop!- thief!
Former minister Bunkle gets diversion for theft
6:00AM Friday November 30, 2007
Former Government minister Phillida Bunkle has been given diversion after pleading guilty to taking about $30 worth of items from a supermarket.
The former Alliance MP and Consumer Affairs Minister was charged with theft after walking out of a Paraparaumu supermarket without paying for coffee and a bottle of wine on October 16.
The Dominion Post reported yesterday that Bunkle had returned from Britain, where she had been for several weeks, to face the charge at Porirua District Court.
The judge was convinced that, as a former Alliance MP, Bunkum genuinely did not understand that it is wrong to take other peoples property.

A consequence-free enviroment
Where a 21 year-old can knock up a 12 year-old (having shagged her since age 11)
Sordid story here:
And-
"...Police chose not to lay charges against a 21-year-old who fathered a child with a 13-year-old girl - even though he confessed to police he had been having sex with a minor..."
I would be choosing to cut the friggin' pedophille's balls off and feed them to him!
"...Asked about police protocols in the case of someone having sex with a minor, a spokesperson at Police National Headquarters said charges were laid only if there was sufficient evidence and proceeding with a case was in the public interest..."
How about DNA evidence?
Or is he planning a career in the labour party?
Feckin' unbelievable!

$500 + $130 costs was a start.

White Ribbon Bullshit
I didn't know that the dick-licking UN were behind this bollocks, until I read the previously linked article- but I'm not suprised.
For you neutered nannys of the UN- NOT SMACKING WOMEN ABOUT IS THE DEFAULT SETTING-RIGHT!
I see no need to 'show proof' that I'm agin it! (generally- I know a few that would be improved by a pickaxe through the spinal column!)
"...The New Zealand Crime and Safety Survey 2006 found that 26 per cent of women can expect to experience violence by a male partner during their lifetime..."
So about 74% of us don't do it. Sod off and bug the other 26%

Tax avoidance
After an 18 month break, I'm back into brewing my own.The discounter that was selling dirt cheap beer is gone and the replacement's pencil is not nearly as sharp.
So sod him and the tax department- I'm back to making 40 pints for $12
I need another fermenter and the still will be coming back into use too.
On the subject, a clean up of the garage yielded 8 litres of misc. spirits and liquers, hidden behind assorted junk. This haul included several bottles of 19 year-old homemade Elderberry wine!

The Workplace and Workers
50% are nominally competent at their job- at least when closely supervised by a competent supervisor. This is not a state that happens as often as it should.
10% are self-starters and can do their job without somebody holding their hand. They will turn up and actually look for useful things to do.
2% are self-starters that will find ways of doing the job better, faster or cheaper. You hope they won't move to bigger and better things.

Toasted Martinborough
It's that time of year again!
Spare a thought for the cleaners that have to de-puke the trains and buses tonight!
It was a hot day today and there were more drunks at large than on the streets of Hokitika on VE day, 1945.
One of the lads on cleanup last year (age 18) made the interesting comment that had a younger crowd at a rock concert left such a trail of refuse, discarded clothing, glass and vomit- the media would have had a field day with it.
He had a good point...

Harden up you pussywhipped, Brady Bunch townies~
Did this article need a graphic images warning?A couple of friggin goat heads! They have probably been left out for the flesh to rot off- a lot of folks do that as they want to keep the skulls and horns. No satanic rituals to see here- move along!
"...A Waikato SPCA animal inspector said it was "very graphic and horrific" and severed animal heads should never be left in full public view..."
You friggin soft-cock weenie! Take a look in the butcher's shop and you will see pigs heads and other bits of critter. Whats the bloody difference?

Do these pricks dress up in a Fedora and a black leather trenchcoat and pose in front of the mirror at night, practicing saying "papers!" in a menacing tone?

"Almost 20 per cent of men do not wash their hands after using public toilets, a national hand hygiene survey has found..."
Link:
More anti- male crap which implies we are dirtier than saintly women!
"...Overall 92.4 per cent of females washed their hands, compared with 81.0 per cent of males.
Female subjects also washed their hands for longer with a median duration of 8.8 seconds, compared with 8.0 seconds for males. Only 8.1 per cent of subjects washed their hands for at least 20 seconds.
Males who did wash their hands used soap almost 10 per cent less often than females..."
We are comnparing apples with oranges here- or perhaps bananas with peaches!
News flash! Males and females have different plumbing and to be blunt- males don't have to wipe urine off themslves (usually) Unlike Jornos, most of us have mastered the art of not pissing on our fingers!
I find the fact that 8% of women don't wash fingers that have been in amongst their bits & pieces more disturbing.
And when leaving a public toilet- your hands are going to touch the doorhandle which was touched by the scrubbed and the filthy!
I have been in many a public toilet where Mr Wobbly was the cleaner than any fixture in the room!
Perhaps it's time gloves came back into fashion...

On a more serious note
Stealing from an Ambulance:
One of the lower things that a scumbag could choose to do. It's in the same league as stealing food from children or taking a pensioner's life savings.
Bastinado or keel-hauling sounds about right- for a first offense.

I did it yet again!
I have a bit of a 'thing' for just avoiding smashes on the Rimutakas. When I say just avoiding, I mean that I have passed the about to be crash site five minutes or less before the incident. This has happend on no less than eight occasions- about once a year. Not so much now that I'm working locally.
Today's one would have happened less than 60 seconds after we passed the site, going by the position of the convoy of emergency services.
When I was commuting, there would be signs of a new crash (broken glass, fences down or paint on the rock) at least three times a week. It's not really a hard road at all. You just have to slow down in the wet, wind or when there is ice on the road.
A hell of a lot don't.
UPDATE:
I did it again today!
I arrived at the club and a chap who arrived 5 minutes after me asked "Did you see the burning motorcycle on the side of the road?"
Wasn't there when I went past that spot!
Before you ask- yes- I did get that new pair of glasses!

Update:
Discussion has gotten a little off-subject, which is fine, but the post was pointing out that statements by scum-loving lawyers after the latest raids out in the jungle. I don't hear the people of Mirimar whinging that they have been terrorised and traumatised by the black-clad colonial oppressors!

Feckin' Halloween!
I don't like halloween!
We spend 364 days of the year teaching our kids to BEWARE strangers bearing sweets and on one day they are allowed out to SEEK strangers with sweeties.
How FUBAR is that!
The other bit that gets sand in my crotch is encouraging kids to BEG! To demand that which is unearned. That REALLY pisses me off! As somebody who believes that kicking beggers should be raised to an olympic sport, there is no way my kids are going to be allowed out to scrounge pogey bait!
Kids are natural opportunists and will jump onto any excuse to get sugar- I don't blame them for getting into the halloween bullshit. I blame spineless parents who won't say NO!
And that prick Tindall!

Random musings
Whilst watching a doco on volcanos on Sky, I couldn't help wondering about gas emissions.
Given that they put out far more gas and ash than mankinds puny efforts- we should be looking to the volcano when considering climate change.
Obviously, the volcano gods need appeasing.
Can anyone think of suitable groups of drones that can be flung into the nearest crater? I know I can!
After all- it can't hurt to have a dollar each way!
Hurt anyone that matters, that is...

Big sister is watching YOU
As we all knew Loonie Sue's Bill has saved zero lives from scumbag parents but is causing grief for normal parents.
"...She was told that her child, referred to as "X" in the testimony, had shown aggressive behaviour towards another student and when questioned told a teacher there had been a smacking.
Under new policy, teachers were required to report all smacking incidents to CYF..."
Now liarbour has recruited their toadies- the schoolteachers- as the CYFS Secret Police.
Would that a few punches were thown over that act as it went through parliment!

Pahiatua Playground- a blast from the past!
You don't see this stuff in the typical playground of today. But in Pahiatua the clock is in the wind-up period!Another great feature is that the park is in the center of town, between the north & south lanes- It's totally open and has nowhere to hide & get up to mischief!
The bottom image is a swing built like a battering ram. Just the thing to give the nervous ninnies and wet blankets apolexy!
Take the kiddies there before nanny's baleful eye turns this way...

Is it me or...
Or are our workplaces riddled with the terminally useless?
It seems to be that about one in eight suffers from delusions of adequacy.
I have spent the last two weeks doing damage control after a wannabe started monkeying with equipment he was supposedly a frickin' expert on. In the real world, it turns out he doesn't know shit from clay. Attempt to teach him the difference have all failed. Not only have I found it impossible to teach him to differentiate the two, but I can't stop him trying to use taste...
Over the years I have seen a procession of these knuckle-draggers pass through and holding qualifications does not excuse one from this list. Quite the contrary- the worst of them have an impressive looking CV- they just can't pick up a screwdriver without sticking it through their hand. They never seem to go short of a job, either.
When will managers learn to actually talk to past employers?

Reeducation- why bother?
Why bother trying to rehabilitate perverts?
"A controversial rehab programme that recommends jailed paedophiles quell their sexual impulses by imagining being gang-raped by skinheads will continue to be used..."
Link:
Hell- that would just excite half of them!
These disgusting subhuman slime simply need to be executed at first opportunity. A person who molests a child has no, repeat, no reason to live.
As we live in enlightened times, a quick death with bullet,noose or chemicals instead of the foulest torments that can be devised- which is no more or less than they deserve.
Like this peice of vulture shit who raped tortured and slowly killed a 13 year-old girl.
The fucker is stealing our oxygen and this needs to stop...

Feckin' wannabees
I have heard talk about the wannabee 'Freedom Fighters' training out in the sticks.
That's about all they are- wannabees with a bad attitude, a chip on BOTH shoulders and a few elderly rifles and petrol bombs.
The trouble is, these wannabees are how terrorist organisations start out. All they need is funding- and the money is out there- while the oil holds out. The only need to recruit a few capable and competent hotheads and people start dying.
Get some nutter, fill him up with P, give him a rifle or a few sticks of gelly and sic him on whitey!
Filling suicide bombers up with meth is nothing new- it's been going on since WW2. As an aside, many of the atrocities may have been meth-fueled. It was commonly used to keep soldiers awake.
And from those who should know better, you get comments like:
"Meanwhile, Maori Pa rty co-leader Pita Sharples said the raids had destroyed trust and set race relations back a hundred years.
He said raids in strong Tuhoe parts of Bay of Plenty reminded him of the atrocities committed at Parihaka, and of the pursuit of Te Kooti Rikirangi.
"This action has violated the trust that has been developing between Maori and Pakeha and sets our race relations back a hundred years," he said..."

We decided it wasn't a good idea for those not into urolagnia
I did the pool water treatment qualification course today.

Another damp squib
After a very long wait for the local election result, it was a rotten damp sqib- as I thought it would be.
The only challenge to the mayor's job was by a chap who was overseas until just before the elections- thus nobody knew what he was about.
The usual popularity contest for a seat around the table seemed to be determined by who had the purdyest pictures plastered about. At least for one of the local ones it worked. Her blurb in the handout made no mention of any local efforts. My reliable sources tell me that is because she had none. A university educated type who is a waitress in a cafe. Hmmmm.
So the hope of a hard-charging firepiss mayor who drives out some of the inbreeds and muppets from the council offices is gone for this term!
But really- a council for a whole 6-7 thousand people? What a WOFTAM!

Local election results
Are nowhere to be seen.
Pathetic when you consider there are only a couple of thousand voters.
Perhaps SWDC has misplaced their abbacus.
Or they are a lazy, incompetent bunch of mindless jerks who need to be the first up against the wall when the day comes.
Or nobody other than myself bothered to vote.
It could be all of the above...

Making a position clearer
I has been said my posts are becoming too moderate.
I, however- have not!
I have assumed that my regular readers know my feelings on certain matters. An example being what the thieving swine responsible for taking our EARNINGS by force should get!
Personally, I would like to ramset them to a fetid dungeon wall (read sewer) and douse their bodies with boiling cheese fondue, prior to releasing a couple of hundred starving rats into their cell.
Although Iain Banks came up with a dozy too!
In this one, the offender was placed in a watertight cell. Above, a feast was being enjoyed and guess where the toilets emptied!
What a fitting fate for those who have leeched a living and produced nothing but a lot of verbal diarrhoea!

STOP THIEF!
THIEVING BASTARDS!
They love to bang on about the money supposedly rorted by the sale of NZ Rail, but that pales into insignificance compared to $8,700,000,000.
And we have a country full of morons who allow this to happen by voting for these thieves!
Election bribes to follow:

The whole sorry tale is here:
A three-year old tries to save her younger siblings "...As the man went for the girl's siblings, she tried to protect them, throwing her small self between her father and their smaller bodies..."
Now the thought of one of my children having to do such a thing makes me physically sick!
In my book, that's heroic- and at the same time sickening- that a child should have to do such a thing.
Also, on the subject- the subhuman piece of refuse who could turn on his family needs to be put down at first opportunity. Such scum are worse that rabid dogs and just as dangerous!

So finally shit-for-brains has realised where he is going to spend a large part of his worthless life, if found guilty- and it looks like he will.
And hes blubbing about spending the next seven months in solitary. AWWWWW!
That would be to do with the THREE breaches of parole?
If you go down, you will be looking at about 34 YEARS.

Big deal, so what!
I do wish the sheep would whip up as much enthusiasm tackling for the way freedom of speech is being minimised, as they do for bloody rugby!
I wish they would howl with outrage at our ridiculous levels of taxation.
I wish that, just occasionaly, they would riot in the streets over government policy.
And they can get away from the tribalist angst anytime soon! As those of us with lives did two beers after the whistle.
Perhaps less energy could be put into the pre-match primate threat-display and more into learning the bloody rules!
Move along- nothing to see here!

Just let us defend ourselves, if you aren't up to it!
"Police are being accused of double standards after it emerged yesterday they are required to do less training with firearms than hunters.
Police national operations manager Superintendent Tony McLeod said police firearm training consists of nine days in camp, plus 24 hours "maintenance" practice each year.
"Police were "not generally" trained to shoot at moving targets, McLeod said.
The president of the Sporting Shooters Association, Dr Lech Beltowski, said the training was insufficient.
"You can't, in nine days and 24 hours every year, teach people what takes years of experience and repetitive target shooting to achieve."
Members of pistol clubs were required by police to shoot 12 times a year or they faced losing their B class (target shooting pistol) endorsement, Beltowski said.
"For us to stay reasonably accurate we really have to shoot at least once a month ... There's a bit of a double standard here, I think..."
Link:
First, I want to clear up a point in this article- the reason pistol shooters need to attend 12 shoots per year is to demonstrate and prove a bona fide interest in the sport of pistol shooting.
Police training, not unlike military, is more about firearms drills and procedures than in accuracy. In these aspects, their training is good. Having mastered safe firarms handling, they need to move forward to action shooting, which includes moving target.
If they could take a dose of humble pie, their local pistol club could provide much valuable instruction in this area. We would be more than happy to help- for a small fee and a pile of free 9mm!
The only ones better instructors are a bit occupied at the moment, the SAS being a bit busy right now.

Soft-cocks need not apply here
I read this and thought of an episode from years ago.
In my army days, grenade throwing was voluntary, as it was considered high-risk.
Of course we all looked forward to grenade day! Fuck the danger!
I well remember on day on the way to the range, the OC stood up on the bus and gave the official party line about this activity being voluntary.
He then continued with the non-PC bit that anyone who didn't want to play with high-explosive and steel WAS FREE TO FUCK OFF IMMEDIATLY ON OUR RETURN, AS HE DIDN'T WANT ANY LIMP-DICk SOLDIERS IN HIS COMPANY!
There were no takers, even the girls who, strictly speaking, were not meant to take part!

Heroism

Emergency crews were called to the house in King Street, Swan Hill, 340km north-west of Melbourne, shortly before 9.30pm on Monday, police said.
The dead girl's brother, four, escaped injury but her parents were burned trying to rescue the little girl from the flames.
Her father, 28, suffered burns to 25 per cent of his body - chiefly his hands, feet and back - while her mother, 25, suffered burns to 60 per cent of her body, Rural Ambulance Service spokesman John Mullen said..."

Told you so!
"Most anger management programmes for violent offenders are a waste of time, says the man who heads psychological services in our prisons..."
Link:
As anyone who has worked at the coal-face would tell you!
"...The shorter anger management schemes have long been viewed with scepticism by many prison officers.
"There is is a sense that many prisoners think that it will help them get parole much more quickly and that doing a course will be a tick in the right box," a former prison guard told the Star-Times.
"It is well known that you do an anger management course and then you get religion to try and speed up the parole process. But most people working with the offenders are very cynical that they make a difference,"the guard said.
Last year almost $50 million was spent on trying to rehabilitate New Zealand's prisoners and trying to reintegrate them into the community..."
I have a cheaper option.
Decimation
Every year we publicly hang 10% of the prison population. For every year of an inmate's sentence, they get one 'Ticket' in the draw!
I think thats a concept the shit-heads could figure out...

The Warehouse, the Warehouse- where everyone gets a Chinese puzzle!
Today I brought a new barbeque. The wife has a theory that if everything is cooked outside, the kitchen won't need as much cleaning.
That sounded fair enough, so I brought one of these new-fangled gas flame-pits (not that any such thing will ever REPLACE my Weber!) Of course it came in pieces- and they all do this- not just the Red Shed.
As with everything needing assembling, I anticipated trouble and was not dissappointed. Having done all this before I gathered sufficent tools to strip a small aircraft and began to study the Chenglish instructions. This was not helped by my failing eyesight and the 1-point print.
Having divined the mystery, I started assembly with frequent exhortations to the son of the Creator.
Black screws, a black frame and a 23 year-old pair of glasses are not a happy combination. i might as well have been trying to piece the damned thing together down a coal mine at midnight! Like so many of these kits, the alignment of the parts had to be perfect or it wouldn't fit together.
At least it WOULD go together when all was aligned- unlike with other kits the drill, file or sledgehammer sat unused. Also, it had the correct parts- no more, no less. The screws & nuts in a blister pack was a great idea.
What I can't help but wonder is exactly how many of these kits sit in garages unassembled or partially so? I'm reasonably handy at this sort of thing, having spent a lifetime pulling stuff apart and putting it back together- usually in a working condition.
Not everybody out there can rebuild a teleprinter, so I wonder how they get on? Is there a future for a knock-down kit assembler? One who pops around discreetly when the wife is out so hubby doesn't have to be seen conceding defeat!

Oh- of course- he didn't to the paperwork for a legal divorce and some lawyer in the judges club missed out on his pimp money!

That's right- US!
This bludging brood sow needs flogging! We need the likes of here like we need another fifty seats in Parliament. I have to wonder what kind of flawed mind can think that they are ENTITLED to raise a huge brood of dysfunctional children (they will be) at OUR expense. It's bad enough that she has already deliberatly had one.
I really would like to kick her arse!
The random breeding antics of the shallow end of the gene pool are bad enough, but when this breeding is done deliberatly...
What kind of life would a dozen kids have, raised by one moonbat?
