Of late, most evenings I have established a trilogy of TV viewing. First up is The Chase which just confirms how dead from the neck up I am. Then the news, which confirms how infantile I am and finally Master Chef which definitely confirms my culinary skills are scarce. For
Yesterday whilst driving from Bucklands Beach to the Botany Town Centre (about 7 kilometres in heavy traffic) I had to stop on 3 occasions at pedestrian crossings. Not a problem normally, except on one occasion when those who were crossing were pushing their bikes. They were middle-aged men looking splendid
I too did a little dance when I heard the news late Thursday afternoon that we have collectively eradicated “that woman”. My thoughts returned to the thousands of brave determined protesters who spent twenty-four days on the lawns of Parliament. It was their commitment, determination and courage that turned the
There are times when criticising the PM becomes spontaneous. Her very presence, addressing any issue, can leave one thinking how this country could be so unfortunate as to be lumbered with such a lamentable simpleton, but there have been a number of occasions when her true character is indisputably exposed.
“You can expect to get the warmest reaction you can imagine” New Zealand Prime Minister @JacindaArdern says Kiwis are “so excited” to welcome tourists back from next month after two years mostly shut off from the world. pic.twitter.com/EvBuyAWfC0 — Sunrise (@sunriseon7) March 17, 2022 Could you imagine having
Thursday’s events on the lawns of Parliament have spooked the government and the police. There were no arrests on Friday. There were no advances by the police and no violence amongst the protesters. The MSM were predicting, and undoubtedly hoping for, major confrontations but were left with nothing. The
First of all, I must apologise for a very belated season’s greetings. I have spent the last ten days in splendid isolation with my family but without internet connection, TV and rather questionable radio reception. It was bliss. On the odd occasion when we ventured into town we found
I believe the Covid vaccine discord festering amongst many is more than a simple conflict of opinions and options. When public debate is deactivated through political provocation and media compliance, we have oppression. We are controlled by a one-party system that has abandoned democracy in favour of an ideological manifesto
Just for now, I have had a gutsful of Covid, terrorists, Ardern, the MSM and this Labour Government in general. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to escape the confines of living life in a political straitjacket within this now depressing regime. Walking long distances has never been an aspiration
Having watched TV One News on Tuesday night I was confronted with the cataclysmic disclosure that it was no longer possible to plan a prolonged future due to the world exploding from uncontrollable combustion and then having all its hard work extinguished by substantive flooding! My first thought was “swings
I was scanning the media on Saturday when I came across two stories involving infanticide. The first report involved a horrific reign of abuse inflicted by William James Sio upon his five-year-old son Ferro-James, resulting in his death. At the time they resided in a motel along Rotorua’s notorious
Sometimes words fail me. But not this time. I’m incensed. “They Are Us” an “inspirational story about the young leader’s response to the tragic events.” Now let me think, is it about the two police officers who responded with outstanding bravery when they apprehended a terrorist on a
In November last year four protesters who stormed an offshore supply vessel were convicted and “discharged” for wilful trespass in the Timaru District Court. Judge Joanna Maze, in passing sentence, had this to say to the protesters: “In time you may be referred to not as offenders, but as leaders“
There is increasing evidence that “resilience”, once an essential virtue to cope with life’s pitfalls, is a foreign concept amongst today’s younger set. Or in laymen’s terms, they are becoming soft. Your insistence that we all be “kind” is manipulative hogwash. Kindness does not protect the insecure
Having had several sleepless nights due to the anticipation and excitement about the forthcoming Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, I can now reveal that “Meghan chose a classically beautiful outfit, wearing a flowing monochrome Giorgio Armani gown. The ‘long triple silk georgette dress’ cost £3,300
The magazine “Thrive” has published an interview with the Prime Minister which was conveniently transcribed and summarised in the NZ Herald yesterday. This appears to be the standard direction the NZH ventures in whenever Ardern is up against the wall of public opinion. The focus was on the cuteness of
