  1. I see DPF's now has the lunatics running the asylum with the usual mental defectives simply being shrill and frenquent.

  5. Gudday.

    Just came from murrary's.

    "Fact is George its actually a law in New Zealand that no one is permitted to display an actual likeness of The Dear Leader"

    - actually it *is* a rule with the media that any camera person who makes her look bad is not allowed to film her again. Only the old hands get to try apparently...

  6. Try? There is no try. Just do.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Yes, do or do not, there is not try.

  8. Hello to Murray, Keith, Scrubone, and WhaleOil!

    Sorry about the mess, this place will get sorted out soon. Zen?

    I seemed to have scared off most commenters with my recent posts, but then that was to be expected.

    Did anyone catch NewTalk ZB this morning with Holmes and whathername, Jane Clifton, who were talking about the repeal of S59? Holmes was very quiet through the whole thing, hardly argumentative. I was mostly asleep and trying to wake up, so I didn't really hear much of it as I use the radio from 7am as my alarm. The mornings when Helen Clark are on are the hardest to wake up on.

  9. Another Try looks like the Blues are following Yoda's advice

    ReplyDelete
  10. I didn't catch the ZB one, but I did hear Sue Bradford on Morning Report. Hilarious. Well worth listening to.

  11. Yea, LLPOF was clearly seriously rattled. She had a bunch of trite phrases (i.e. lies) she always trots out. She forgot most of them this morning.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Just getting my google account working again, after I forgot the pw.

  13. An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.

    A cop pulls him over.

    "So," says the cop to the driver, "where have ya been?"

    "Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.

    "Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening".

    "I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.

    "Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"

    "Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

    ReplyDelete
  14. Right, I'm off. See ya later.

  15. Has anyone gotten used to the lack of daylight savings yet? I'm still having trouble waking up in the mornings, strangely enough, because I go to bed later, wake up at my normal time and drift in and out of sleep until it's time to wake up.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think one of the reasons these exasperating bloody wimmyn like Clark Bradford et al are like they are is nobody gave them a backhander when they needed it as kids.

    When you grow up you get to crave someone to give you some barriers. Nobody does. Then when you get to be a politician and are surrounded by taxpayer funded horse-holders, flower strewers and bungholers it becomes impossible to be corrected or to even consider the need for correction.

    Thus they become 24 carat arseholes. Unpleasant unloved and a pain in the arse to all around them.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Another try...I wonder if Howlett will get one?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Lucyna, I must be the only person in NZ very glad to see the back of daylight saving.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hi Oswald! Did you have a nice dinner?

    I found the sound byte that woke me up this morning - it wasn't as long or as dramatic as I thought it was in my sleep befuddled state.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Borat DVD arrived today from Marbecks - great success!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Really, kg? You like it getting dark earlier? Or do you get up really early and appreciate the extra daylight then?

    ReplyDelete
  22. The RSA is very old-school with meals- they serve food. Not what food eats!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes but if understand correctly there is also... "beer".

    ReplyDelete
  24. Why would I go if they did not have "Beer"?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Last time I went to the RSA I brought two raffle tickets and gave one to the old man. His won the $200 and he tried to give me my two bucks back! I should have taken it as the next time we were sorting out the bar bill run up by the baggy arsed soldiers detailed to bury him. He left a request that the 'burial party is to be adequately refreshed following the service' Those bastards knew what an order was...

    ReplyDelete
  26. And yet here was me unadvised of this activity.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The early-morning daylight, Lucyna.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi all

    Nice new place you've got here Zen & Lucyna.

    Seems to be chugging along nicely.

    Are the boys playing soccer this year?

    Must be about time to start?

    ReplyDelete
  29. and that's the bonus point.....Aaron, bags Borat after you...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ouch Murray, you're to sharp for this time of the week.

    You can't be working hard enough

    ReplyDelete
  31. I found the morning report thing with Sue Bradford that Jim mentioned.

    Andrei, I'm really trying not to think about soccer this year, even though my son's mentioned it a few times. We are swapping schools soon, and I think there might be some soccer there. I hope. All those practice sessions in before dinner time in winter were just too much. I got very cold.

  32. Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT, "What starting salary were you thinking about? "The engineer said, "In the neighbourhood of $ 125, 000 a year, depending on the benefit package."

    The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks' vacation, full medical and dental insurance, a company retirement fund of 50% of the salary, and a company car leased every two years - say, a silver Lexus?"

    The engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
    The Human Resources person replied, "Sure, but you started it."

  33. Any of you guys got web cams? Pop on over to my site and leave a mugshot.

  34. Best bumper sticker I have seen is
    "more people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than in American nuclear power stations"

    ReplyDelete
  35. Now, this was interesting. In the midst of talking about why Labour is pushing through the anti-smacking bill, John Key said that Labour was broke, couldn't afford to fight another election, let alone pay back the $800,000 they owe on the last one, so want the anti-smacking bill through to then push forward public funding for political parties!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Kg, you're one of those strange people that get up early, then, aren't you. If I could, I'd get up at 9am or so. Just can't really do that with kids. I'd probably also go to bed at 1am. As it is, I go to bed at midnight at wake up around 7'ish.

    I was in Sydney in 2000 when daylight savings started in August in preparation for the Olympics. It was a bit of a shock at first, but then it was great! It would be nice to run daylight savings from the end of August to maybe the end of April every year.

  37. WhaleOil, I don't have a webcam. People might figure out my secret identity if I did. Can't have that!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Though, I could always wear a mask ...

    ReplyDelete
  39. It makes no difference to the lumpen peasantry like me. I juggle two business' Im at it at dawn, dark means I stop outside only. In between theres the office and it stops after midnight.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Mask is good, or perhaps backlight so you face is hidden like on the doco's where people spill their guts but don't want anyone to know who they are.

    ReplyDelete
  41. See if you can get a shot of Benson Pope in a mask

    ReplyDelete
  42. LOL! I could probably do an accent to disguise my voice as well.

    This could be fun.

    Maybe I should get a webcam.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi Lucyna and all.

    Forget the web cam - we don't have the bandwidth to use them properly

    ReplyDelete
  44. And being annonnymouse is more fun

    ReplyDelete
  45. George, you sound a bit like my husband - he does the same sort of thing and hardly gets any sleep while he's at it.

    While as I have given up trying to work and juggle kids at the same time. We make more money now with hubby working and me looking after the kids, rather than both of us working and paying a nanny. And I'm more relaxed. Kind of.

    Except today I spent lots of time just worrying because I let my 10 year old go off for a long bike ride with his friend and then he didn't come home on time. Apparently it gets worse when they are teenagers.

    ReplyDelete
  46. But, but, there could be arm waving as well. I like arm waving. I can be very expressive.

    ReplyDelete
  47. You think you are expressive now. Wait till you have teenagers

    ReplyDelete
  48. Docjok, I'm quite happy to wait. I'm sure that's why people get lots of grey hairs. Having a 10 year old (and a younger one) is hard enough.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Just being funny. You'll be alright - as you are spending time with them, have instilled some discipline and morals over the years. Teenage years are all about maintaining the relationships.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Jeez, there's some weird sh*t on you tube. How to waste an evening...

    ...so why are you interviewing yourself?

    ...am I?

    ...yes, you are asking yourself the questions and overdubbing later.

    ...so I'm not actually looking at anyone?

    ...no, it's just you.

    ...this interview is over.
    ...this interview is OVER.

    ReplyDelete
  51. A belated "hello" back.

    Are you practicing to be a roving correspondent?
