I'm just getting more cynical as I approach dotage @ Chris T. It's a right of passage. Won't be long before the folks at ZB will be offering me a job in their bid to be fair and balanced. I think Mike Baker on NewShubs the Nation this morning had some good...
You mean as opposed to indecent ones? Put 'em in the stocks I reckon! NAME and SHAME is the only answer. That'd learn 'em
The link is along Cable Street Wellington - plastered over the footpath. A bloody disgrace! And I bet those bloody radical left-wing Labour Party supporting New World franchise owners are responsible. If I had my way, I'd put them in the Army!
Exactery. It's a enabling recipe for all the ticket clippers. Incidentally, I meant to comment on this thread but ended up doing so on Nick's last: https://thestandard.org.nz/wellington-buses-now-how-a-local-authority-harmed-public-transport/ at 9 and 10. ...
Bloody Hell! Another conspiracy for Mr Muller to sink his teeth into. First it's portraits of JA on bus shelters, now it's pavement stickers telling us all to "Keep Left Unite Against Covid 19" The Electoral Commission really should get involved!!!! I mean...
Ditto thanks to Nick. Actually I was thinking how pertinent this morning's Kim Hill/Anand Giridharadas interview is to the way local gummint now operates. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018754514/anand-giridharadas-beware-of-...
It's going to be interesting to see the reponses in here to Kim Hill's interview with Anand Giridharadas (link not up yet @ Sacha - except maybe https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday for today 11/07/2020 ) Pass the popcorn Edit: Fark me! How ...
Sorry in advance btw, but the most charitable thing I can say about a Boag and her dripping jewels, OR the leopard skin and her worshippers, OR the drummer boy and his worshippers, OR people that claim a membership to the 4th Estate but who fall short in ...
"Can I ask National to slow down the bad news as I am trying to do some work." Same here @ Mickey. Well not so much work as putting jigsaw puzzles together without the aid of social media, but as someone who has a memory that's not unlike the elephant, and...
"National Party supporters forgive their MPs everything.........." and they seem to like their corruption cloak and dagger covert style. I guess it makes them feel suphusticated and intelligent. At the moment - I'm busy pivoting - teetering on the fulcrum ...
I'd like to dedicate this to you and Mrs Wayne, Wayne. And tell her no need to pull out the Elna (oops the pedal powered Singer) just yet, and Mrs Wayne's tablecloths are safe SO FAR. Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag And smile, smile, smile, While...
Just shows @ Ad. The gNatz should have gone to Specsavers. Woodhouse might have got himself a Musk instead of a Thiel. At least he does stuff.
I think I probably meant that "'prePanel" where someone was discussing their cooking prowess. It wasn't Wallace Chapman, Phil O’Reilly, or Catherine Robertson. I had to turn it off after that.
HEEEEELP! Mozza. I take it all back! Did/Are you listening to today's Walruss' "The Panel". It's fucking excruciating darling - but I'll persevere . Put a drizzle of Olive Oil and a bit of Sour Cream on it, shove it in the fridge till Sunday and call it a ...
I wouldn't mind hearing you as a guest on RNZ "Saturday" with Kim Hill. Perhaps discussing the meaning of life and the Universe, or the male ego. All txt feedback to be read out in full. That'd be worth a listen
Sometimes I think we might either need a more activist judiciary, or at least an SSC experienced in judicial matters (like the current Ombudsman or Children's Commissioner) rather than the crop of former ps CEO/business oriented do nothing dipshits we seem...
/agreed once again. But then I lament the state of our public service (the middle/senior ranks at least, although in some cases - such as WINZ, the culture certainly trickles down). There's just been another bloody good example of how its all hanging ...
/agreed "In any decent political climate, this should mean the end of the Natz party" unfortunately it is just not in a gNat's DNA, whether its the older gNat, such as the dripping Ms Shipley or the dripping Ms Boag who regard themselves as royalty - even ...
Christ! There goes that "best practice" again. That was trotted out this morning by Worksafe - who in their defense as to questioning over their inability to investigate complete bloody fuckups said: "It's best practice". I'd hate to think what a bloody ...
"Hey Peter, since you're happy to criticize ministers for actively trying to make improvements,........." Sorry to say @ Just Is, but I'd pick you up on the first part - i.e. the "actively trying to make improvements" More like a Minister that's a damn ...

" I have complete faith in my officials " (Even the ones that are politically AND/OR selfishly motivated)
"Many of the regional councillors responsible didn’t stand again in the 2019 local government elections, realising that after what they had done re-election was less than likely." I'd say more like .......... " realising that after what they had done re-...
Most humble apologies @ Sacha By the way, since you've provided the link that I should have done, how many people that post here do you think are going to take the time to listen to it. My 'reckons' are that they'd much prefer to monitor the words of ...
Jesus H Christ @ TRP. You mean its taken this long for you to have awakened? Especially re Clapton. In breaking news, a complete arsehole is a bloody good guitar player. And really nice guys are completely useless as politicians and heads of government ...
EEEEEEEEEEEE OOP fellow The Standard townsfolk. Anyone else been listening/following "The Service"? and if so ..... wotcha opinions and reckons? ( I come from a position of having a 2 degrees removed member of whanau who was a spook till he died a decade ...
It looks like a nice enough day. Budgie smugglers, white bobby socks and sandals or fleep flops. Now I think about it, the gNatz now have their own Tarn Yabbit in the Muller.
That's exactly what it is. Not that complicated one would have thought. Inputting small amounts of data to a database to ensure drivers are compliant with the regs. I guess Logmate's developer is probably making a killing these days removing all references...
Just for some light relief ..... Has anyone else come across an 'app' called 'Logmate'? I'm just curious because for what its ekshully doing, it really should be capable of running on the most back-level "smartfone" device anyone ever invented. NZTA ...
I'm too busy pivoting @ Incognito to be channeling anyone. But as gorgeous and tremendously intelligent as I am, I'm still marveling, and struggling to understand the human specimen's ability to talk 'past' one another. So far, as an explanation, all I've ...
