At your target in front...

"Suspended Hato Paora College principal Elvis Dobson Shepherd has been found guilty of sexually abusing students at an Auckland school in the early 1990s..."

Yes, yet another...

Free Market

Fuck me!- its CMOT Dibbler!

We have crossover from the Discworld!

Bipolar NZ

In the world I live in- dominated by real men and a few women- doing all the stuff actually needed to make a country work- there is nothing but contempt for the bludgers along for a free ride.

But the trouble is that these folks are so busy keeping the world going round, they have no time-or interest- in changing which direction it spins.

THAT is governed by a class who are NOT bothered by the burden of meaningful work.

And the good people who matter have been brainwashed to believing that politics are distasteful and beneath then (the current system IS)

Politics are so far from the folks actually growing the food, making the power flow and keeping the roads open, that the politicians might as well be living in frickin' Narnia! (make your own observations about coming out of closets)

We need to get away from elections and move to gallows.

The people that matter are the only ones that know how to use a hammer and nails anyway...

Pot- kettle

"The Labour Party is concerned that ousted MP Chris Carter has become unbalanced, senior party figure Trevor Mallard says..."

That would be like the micky's throwing out a priest who took mass!

Feck- Liarbour are all barking! (along with most of the Nats and the others!)

Just noticed

On the 8th of this month, this blog has been going five years!

Serious airgunning

Stand by to repel boarders!

Watch this mess up your fibreglass boat!

Who you gonna call?

"Christchurch's newest team of ghostbusters is ready for paranormal action.

The new group, dubbed Christchurch Paranormal Investigators, was set up by Anton Heyrick who has been on the trail of apparitions for 10 years with various groups..."

The team are quietly confident that with good funding and time they WILL eventually find traces of intelligent life in the Village of the Damned!

Solutions are simple but unpalatable

SO- what would stop SO MANY children being murdered?

Stop funding the breeding of unwanted children.

Despite funding girls to 'care' for their offspring full-time, they consistently fail at their duty in numbers too large to be ignored. I call them girls because they do not understand that which a woman does. Your 'needs' come second to your children's.

Much, if not most of the problem would be the feckless male refuse they attract. These losers are attracted by sex, a roof over their heads and someone who get more taxpayer funding than he does to mooch off. At best they have no interest in another male's offspring. At worst, he is a loose cannon with a cracked barrel, as far as the kids are concerned.

I look at the town degenerates that hang around the scrubbers loafing on the DPB in our street. I hear their fighting and drunken/drugged carry-ons and know that it is just a matter of time there...

So WHY the gap?

"The wage gap between New Zealand and Australian workers has widened by $40 to $580 a week since National came to power in late 2008 promising to address the income gap..."

For one, they don't get the vapors at the thought of digging the place up for minerals.

Plus I suspect they have a better ratio of workers to wastrels.

More consistancy

One thing missing from the otherwise fair drink-driving penalties.

Stepped fines and penalties or how much offenders are over the limit- like they do with speeding.

And I believe the limit should stay where it is for now. Before reducing it I would like to see PROOF that between 0.5 and 0.8 is a problem that warrants change.

(Personally, my guidelines are one drink- that's it)

NZDF medal 'progress'

UPDATE - 19 MAY 2010

"The Government is considering the Medallic Recognition Joint Working Group's report on the proposed NZDF Medal.

The NZDF is NOT currently accepting applications for the planned New Zealand Defence Force Medal. It is anticipated that a call for applications will happen in the second half of 2010.

It will take approximately 20 to 22 weeks from when a decision is made by the Government, before any medals are available to be issued. There will need to be a tender process for the manufacturer(s), and then the medal and ribbon will still need to be manufactured.

The NZDF Medals Office expects a large number of people to apply for the medal and, even with extra staff to process the applications, this could potentially be a two to three year project."

You people work like old people fuck!

How many friggin' years does this have to take? You pricks can vote yourselves a pay rise in a few nanoseconds.

Are you waiting for a few more of us to friggin' die?

It is a national embarrassment to turn out to an ANZAC day parade and the only ones NOT wearing a medal are the ex-bloody servicemen! Firemen, Cops- yep they all have them (and deserved, don't get that wrong) Soldiers- forget it.

Every damned thing in the service needed doing the day before, so is it too much to ask for a bit of hurry-up on this?

Update:

The NZDF site has issued an update today that is exactly the same as the one I posted in May!

OI!- Wayne Mapp!- light a fire under these idle fuckers!

News flash- man leaves bar pissed

"A Wellington RSA has been banned from selling alcohol for a day after one of its members got drunk at the club and was caught drink-driving at nearly four times the legal limit..."

Slow new day, huh?

Everyone knows that driving pissed is a bad thing. That is not the issue here.

If there were any consistency in policing, EVERY drunk picked up in town who had come from a bar should result in a prosecution for that bar. [insert Tui ad here]

If all bars lost a day's trading for every drunk that staggered out the door- you would have a hard time finding a bar open at all.

It isn't even happening with people convicted for drink-related offences in other cases.

Why single out the Tawa RSA all of a sudden?

Some copper get their membership application blackballed?

Behind the times as usual

Given that I never get to the pictures, refuse to listen to what is hot and trendy and only buy the DVDs when they are at knockdown prices, I would be possibly the worlds slowest movie reviewer.

Yesterday I finally got a couple of hours between jobs and got to watch the copy of District 9 that I brought about a month ago.

At last!

Something quite fresh and new and not a freaking remake or sequel.

Lots of good splatter and effects- not for the kiddies like the R16 rating implies.

I hate to spoil a story by actually giving away any details (plus that would involve an effort on my part) so I won't.

It's a good, gritty fast paced action sci-fi- think shades of ET and Blackhawk Down crossed with Naked Lunch!

Well worth the $15 buck at the red shed and buying a copy might get Peter Jackson nearing to affording a local hanger for his new jet!

'Hate Speech'- Translation: 'Hates freedom of Speech'

Here endth today's lesson.

Fair Trade stuff

"...Fair trade bananas are flying off Moore Wilson's shelves in Masterton despite Oxfam warning demand needs to pick up or New Zealand may lose the ethical fruit..."

Another piece of 'feel good' marketing.

Of course 'Fair Trade' only works for overseas produce.

The buying practices of the supermarket chains here are conveniently ignored.

The bleeding hearts couldn't give a stuff about NZ growers- who get screwed over just the same as the foreign ones!

Dumb and the other one

"An energy company has been forced to compensate a Wellington apartment owner after a meter reader defecated in a plastic bag while at the man's flat and left it there.

The Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner has told Genesis Energy to pay $800 to Errol Anderson, after the incident last September. However, Mr Anderson says the compensation is insufficient, as he cannot rent the apartment out until the "stigma" of what happened has faded..."

I would say $800 for finding a bag of crap on your doorstep should take away one's angst. Asking $200k is about as dumb as the clown who crapped in the bag (pleading desperation) and then left it there.

I personally know of a similar case of a jar of urine being left in a ceiling space. Again the offender was too dumb/lazy to simply remove the jar and dispose of it and the contents.

Shit happens...

What are you saying here?

"...Thirty-eight people charged with unlawful assembly should be seen by the same judge on the same day, a Christchurch judge says.

In the Christchurch District Court yesterday, the first seven people appeared before Judge Stephen Erber.

Each of the 38 is charged with unlawful assembly relating to a gathering of 39 revving cars and 140 people at Chaneys, Belfast, just after midnight on July 10.

Police had planned to drip-feed those charged through the court to avoid clogging the system.

However, the judge took a different view yesterday, saying all 38 should be seen on the same day by the same judge to achieve consistent penalties..."

SO have them ALL flogged to within an inch of their lives!

That aside, is the beak suggesting that our highly paid and above reproach judiciary are NOT consistent?

Gosh, who would have thought!
