The Beehive Blowhard
I believe finding dependable tenants to pay astronomical sums is becoming easier in the Far North. Contacting the 128 unsuccessful applicants with their bad news has become the hard bit. Last one being let that I'm familiar with went to a near retiring ...
Kiwibuild suited our appetite for bold transformational moves. It was great sound-bite fodder, Twyford said 100,000 homes 100,000 times. 2 years on, offered the choice of having Kiwibuild or 500 new modern robust emergency housing apartments..I think we'd ...
Yes, we have addressed the housing issue. We didn't move the wheel a few degrees and build on what worked. We constructed a hugely expensive new government department, wasted oodles of money and time, promised the earth and gave birth to Kiwibuild. Before ...
Yes, many sweet spots worthy of expanding on there. "Hey Gareth, how many airpoints you clock up last year?' is not a sweet spot.
Steering a country must be a bit like steering a fully laden oil tanker. A tiny input can have immense repercussions. A turning circle of kilometres and brakes that take 20 minutes to result in a stop. We live in an accelerating world, remember when it ...
I'll give you a good deal on your furniture and drive you to the airport as soon as tomorrow. Why on earth do you continue to tolerate this shit-hole? OK, that's not going to work. You need only respond "None of the people I love will leave the shit-hole ...
Ha! Onya Chairman. You remind me of a talk back radio host stimulating a full switchboard at the start of a shift. I like you, I think lots of us do, You're a lovable Marvin sort of an arse. :Life, don't talk to me about life." *Crikey! I see you've now ...
Aspiring to be Marvin is a false goal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKd6ZxCEJdI
Who did you vote for and why? You can either lie or expose yourself as the biggest sucker who ever drew a breath. Hmmm, nah, that won't drop yer dacs. You need only respond "I voted lab/green and I can't begin to tell you how bitterly disappointed I am ...
Of all of our possessions our most precious must be life. Without that, we've got nothing. It's not the homeless, crime levels, pay parity or any of those other catalysts we kick around. Being alive is #1. Life, circulating oxygen and firing up neurons, ...
"Yeah, he's going to burn really good. We'll struggle to recover remnants,...the snapper are spawning...Mac timed it like that. He took a fair toll on their population, utu."
"So none of us can get as drunk as Mac used to."
If I know my pals like I think I do I suspect they'd surmise "Blow the law, Mac will have his Viking funeral...we'll need a post party clean-up of military precision."
Funerals have evolved into a coming together to celebrate a loved one's life. Not so long ago they were a reason to come together and mourn, some widows obliged to wear black until they die. If it was me facing death in a few weeks, the thought of a send ...
If the state decides, it is murder. The primary decision-maker needs to be the person saying 'goodbye.' Supported by an intensive family contribution and professionals of the departee/family's choosing. Hopefully we will set the requirements for a "yes" ...
Yes, it's refreshing to see Seymour making himself useful.
Welcome change. We all make errors of judgement. What matters is what we do about it.
The natural response to a bill introduced by an ACT member is to consider what's in it for them I don't think Seymour's motivations are any more clandestine than political survival. A reason to be. That makes him guilty of being a politician. So from a ...
After leaping in early, I've read the comments to date. Geeez, I hate the paling up my bottom but I just can't get off the fence.
Isn't that a family thing rather than a this legislation thing? Anyone that sees fit to lay a finger on my beautiful 90 year old life loving Dad will need to stomp over me.

There was a 24 hour pause because at the centre of virtually all Central and South American elections there is the odour of Dodgy on the air. When the ticket to a better life revolves around knowing someone with some political pull, we will always get ...
Uber Eats. Those that desire to dine on butterfly wings in a white whine sauce can and the bill will still be cheaper than caterers. Caterers are so Elizabethan (II). Attach an extensive Uber Eats menu to the 'We're workin' late you bastards' memo. (I work...
Ha, you are so right re: Generics vs Best in field Brand names. We all know what you mean. The ingredients lists on the Coke, Watties and Gillette labels are identical to the Pams Products labels. Teenagers the world over are fed up with trying to convince...
I prefer titi
If we agree that central Africa is the cradle of mankind...the only endemic people are those there. The rest of us, migrating exotics.
Mother Earth made the arrangements = native tree Mankind made it happen, planted the seed or it was on the hoof of his horse = exotic tree ....If a South American Macaw flew from Sydney to Devonport and deposited an Australian native plant seed that ...
I wasn't aware of Henry and I'm so pleased I now am, thanks A. I agree, he deserves to be remembered. I like that Riccardo Scott painting of Henry in a rowboat full of parrots....Riccardo should of included a soft leather muzzled Lassie.
The Hosking sharks sensed blood in the water.
Yes, I think it was a combination. Jacinda's rise and the focus of Metiria's confession moving from the plight of beneficiaries generally to shining a torch up her bum. https://www.noted.co.nz/currently/currently-politics/what-metiria-tureis-benefit-...
