Just have to jump in here, I love to read The Standard, have done for years , but , I really don't understand why some of you , normally lucid commentators , get dragged into the predictable media bias . Purely not to hear the sound of your own voice I ...
Just briefly I also would like to add my thanks to LPrent and the contributors of The Standard, I have been reading TS since about 2010 and have seen a few writers come and go. I don't comment very often unless I am really riled up or things are happening ...
FYI, our favorite ex-Northland MP is now CEO of Carrington Resort on the Karikari Peninsula. The resort is now owned by a Chinese consortium who are buying and developing large tracks of the peninsula. Margaret Mutu conspicuous by her absence. What nexts ?
Bullshit Jenny, Stephanie is one of the most thin skinned, aggressive commentators on this blog. If that makes me a chauvinist, then so be it, I don't think very many of my female friends and relatives would agree but maybe at 54 I'm a bit old school and ...
What a fuckwit Hotze, LMAO.
Agreed with Meconism that is.
Agreed, 100%.
Geez, that felt good ticking that box today, and knowing I was backing a winner for a change. Have to say, in the last week only one person I spoke to tried to convince me to vote for Osbourne. Everyone else was giving me the nudge to vote Winnie,actually ...
Well, unlike most on here today I get to go down to my local school and cast my vote, as will my wife and my elderly father. All 3 of us have voted Lab or Green all our voting lives. This Saturday will be a first for us, we will be voting Nz 1st. I know ...
I remember well , when Malcolm was found wandering around a hotel in the States with no pants on. I figured he wasn't so bad after all. R I P.
Spot on Murray.
It never ceases to amaze me, the absolute shit that comes out of this mans mouth. I've heard a bit more about the Sabin fiasco, not pretty, not pretty at all. Although, Rimmer is coming to the rescue for Osborne, thank god for the mighty 200 eh.
Fistula, grow up clown, we don't need the stasi, we got GCSB. Oh thats right, they work for your side, there alright.
Snap tracey, she did nothing but infuriate me today ( truth be known, she does most days) .I had fired of 2 strongly worded txt to her before it was even 9.30, one telling her she really should be in Parliament throwing up patsy questions to the government...
Ok Gosman , I have listened to Radio New Zealand all day , everyday for the last 20 years. I know what it used to be like, I know what it is like now. What has happened during this time? Presenters have changed, the board has changed, Govt has changed. ...
Tracy, not that im aware of, but im just a pleb. Tracy, how many nat voters north of Kaitaia youa ask, well every farmer and his wife normally, the wealthy elite in Pukenui and the forestry block owners and most of the logging truck drivers I come across.
Tiger Mountain, as I said both those bridges are on the books. This is not New money being waved here, I should know, we have the Transit contract and the FNDC contract. Whether the bridges would have got the go ahead remains to be seen, although I will ...
As I work in the roading industry in the Far North, I can assure readers that Joe Carr was quite right on Morning Report this morning. Both the Taipa bridge and the Kaeo bridge are both on the nine year plan and have been for years, no new money there. I ...
Our prayers are behind you Helen, all the very best, you are a great leader. First Union members Far North.
I'm picking thick.
+100, thats exactly how I am feeling today.
I'm with you CV, lead on brother.
Lost you from No2 onwards, pays to be a luddite methinks, all the best with that.
Thank God Tiger Mountain, someone else who understands how fucked up it is up here. The political ignorance is actually quite astounding. Having lived up here for 25 years, it never ceases to amaze me how skewed the comprehension of politics is by the poor...
I can hardly wait.
Dead right CR, it's amazing the eternal optimism on here sometimes.
Skinny, you need to keep up mate, I gave you a heads up ages ago and I waited 3 weeks before I said anything on here. FFS. Read between the lines man.
Although I really have great respect for TS and most of the contributors, most of you really have no idea about Northland or the way it works. As one of the great unwashed working class people up here and not a desktop warrior I have a hell of a lot more ...
As I say, take from that what you will, I know a bit more but purely anecdotal, we will have to wait and see. Assault is quite a broad term. [RL: Leave this alone. I'm still of two minds whether I should have let your first comment stand. I don't like it ...
4 weeks ago, a good mate of mine rang to ask me what I new about Mike Sabin, I gave him a quick run down, you know, ex cop started Methcon went big nationwide, traded in old missus for younger misses, 2 sons one a reporter one very badly hurt in rugby game...
Excellent Paul, although you could throw all the other stations in there as well.
