I think he might have a fetish for Greenspans - as do many captured early on by the perceived wisdom of the cult. Looking at "3" and its offspring, and there'll be more to come before the day is oot, it's [like] like like like: I know you believe you ...
'pivot' has become so passe @Rosemary - everybody is pivoting and they need something new. There is a new word on the horizon. Forgot where I heard it, but immediately I did, "ultimately" I knew it'd become the new normal going forward (in that space). "so...
Yep ........... As I just sent to Bradbury's Open Mike: Just another example of how good people get shat on in our neo-liberal public service www.newsroom.co.nz/1270488/the-brave-new-world-of-oranga-tamariki All the good intentions in the world result in ...
No worries @grey. NZ will get what they get off their arses to choose. As @Incognito said at https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-30-06-2020/#comment-1724265 "If now is not the time for using some of the enormous political capital that Labour (read: Ardern...
I tempted to go with another 'diatribe' explaining the reasons for feeling so "strongly" but I'll refrain. Suffice to say they relate to things such as: - One's NZ-born toddler God/Guru daughter having to watch her mother being sexually abused by an over-...
"If now is not the time for using some of the enormous political capital that Labour (read: Ardern) has accumulated and campaign on a progressive and transformative policy platform then when is the time?" Exactery. And so far, despite some of the positive ...
Isn't about time we saw a biography of Sir John? "Moi Loif on the Global Stage through the Ages", by Nick Leeson, with a Forward by Peter Thiel. Available and exclusively on Amazon
He wouldn't know ETHICS if one of them jumped up and bit him on the bum. All Mike is interested in is having people listen to him - look at me, look at me - so the ratings look good enough to justify the salary and benefits He demands. More fool His flock....
Here's an idea for free. How's about we get the Greens to devise Labour Party policy. But ULTIMATELY, there's just one problem though, if and when either/or, or both are elected in that space going forward. It'll be about implementation of the policies and...
I'm afraid I've disobeyed my dear ole mum who once said if you can't say something kind, don't say anything. I have no problem saying unkind things to people who are unkind to others - especially when their motivation is about themselves (often dressed up ...
She wants the challenge of a new career. No doubt Harcourts Real Estate are competing with the Caci Clunuk for her buzzniss ekyamun and as an example of how you too can pull yasef up by the bootstraps and make something of yasef. Ploise, Paula, close the ...
This week, it wouldn't be the first time I've heard gNats advocate putting rival gang members on an island and letting them fight it out. Same could be said of the rival factions in the gNat gang. I freely admit I don't have enough sympathy to go around ...
+99.5% Seems obvious but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ni5fdUcqc And now back to resting on me laurels
+1 Strewth! Its as if Gordon put itchy powder in Ad's undies drawer at the old people's home. And here's me thinking sometimes I go over the top a little bit!
Maybe you recall the guy who thought it OK to refer to people as "SCUM" on social media and had to be 'managed out' of the place. To suggest other people who worked with him didn't know what he was like, and therefore said nothing stretches credibility. ...
Ae! As I read you and follow your comments here at TS, I suspect you've been through employment courts???? If so, I sincerely hope you NEVER ever agreed to any confidentiality agreement. That's the usual trip. Even Mr Hager fell for it, but another trick ...
Oh, and as for Grainne Moss: here's my impressive CV. I tick all the boxes. And just by the way - did I tell you I'm compassionate? Why no you didn't! Hark! panel. I think we may just have the perfect specimen for heading up a new improved CYFS. I think ...
Well it's not just the PS, but other stuff like the snails' pace in doing something/ANYTHING about the state of PS broadcasting and media - including preserving plurality of voice and the independents. There are ekshully one or two simple solutions (in ...
+1 @ Anne. We both know that weird shit happened in the PS (Yes Minister type crap since Adam was a boy), however something fairly radical changed with the reforms of the 80s and it seems that even with Chippie's desire for reform, nothing substantial ...
"I played with the idea of making wind so as to get my washing dry and swept the rotary clothes line round and repeated, then change direction." Do I have the solution for you @Grey! You just line the current crop of the National Party up adjacent to your ...
Rome wasn't built in a day @Micky. It might have been quicker to have just given him a knighthood along with his BFF in the last QB Honours list, and an offer of some prestigious pozzy on the Whurl stage representing lil 'ole NuZull that punches above its ...
By the way - it's a faith-based viral religion. A cult. I believe, therefore it is.
"Fucksake. WINZ apologised, but I want to know what they're changing about their system so this doesn't happen again." And therein lays the problem. You can never change the system - only ever add some bell or whistle to the existing framework. Unless of ...
OK, yes I see the logic in all that.
Well as a parent @ Grey, I'm clutching me stolen pearls and just thinking of the children! And it's just as well I disposed of all my worldly goods to them before I actually kark it and I now live at their pleasure. I'm just a bit worried that Donny Jnr ...
A question for @Andre Don't you reckon it's about time Putin called in the debt and insisted Donny O Jnr and Melania have the Hydroxy Clorax Queen committed to the Tallahassee Home for the Bewildered? If they hold out much longer, they could lose ...
Hark! I have awakened, and yes I think you are Orl Krect regarding the Gabe, and his freedom fighters who also used to lay awake at night worrying about where e's and b's and a's should fit in their vision of the future. Probably the best thing is that ...
I've occupied my mind with that sort of stuff for a long time. Whether its nomadic African tribes that once had the ability to travel on traditional routes but now have 'conditions' imposed on them, or the immigration policies of so-called 1st Whurl ...
"So where does racism (bad) stop and xenophobia (seemingly ok) start?" I'm really going to be laying awake at night now thinking about it, and the pros and cons of imperialism and past empires, arbitrary borders imposed on people by imperialists defining ...
"Poor chap! He’s that far out of place here in Aotearoa that even Enoch Powell would probably consider him a candidate for forced repatriation. And I’m certainly up for a pony if anyone wants to start a Give A Little page to buy him a ticket back to ...
"We're likely talking about relatively mundane and routine decisions made many times a day by many people on multiple sites." /agreed (There won't be a single person responsible) And not all of those people necessarily got the memo. Understandable in the ...
