Someone I know, apparently intelligent, is anti-vacx and he scoffs at Wiles - that pink hair. I just have to shake my head and walk away when that starts. The thoughts are like a virus themselves.
edit Good things happened in the NZ film business during Covid19, now we have proved to the world that we are up to it. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55272486 Dec.11/20 How New Zealand's film industry boomed during the pandemic ...Thanks to ...
DF Why bother to reply with only a sarky patronising response. If you can't help, don't want to, it's no help to get negatives from the self-consciously smart.
Dunno if NZ Geographic will let you read Journey into the Interior but it is fascinating story of man and woman going back to Simple in NZ. Journey into the Interior - Lessons from 10 years in the wild. Great magazine support it if you can.
Organised by KPMG. Business to the fore, conservative conformism with what the pundits are doing from a 'best practice' viewpoint. What about what the thinking citizens want Mr Faafoi, or are we too far away from your high tower to listen to us. Do those ...
Sabine - you have lots of ideas which is great. So when you carry on from someone else's ideas can you acknowledge their ideas that you find good, instead of sort of being dismissive about them or ignoring them. Build up a group of supportive and ...
We need to remember when making remarks, negative, about local workers' reluctance to do this or that, that they are not having as easy a life as oneself. NZ is acknowledged by overseas tourists as an expensive country. (I put up a link some quotes about ...
Good points Ad. Scumo always looks happy when he is pictured with PM Ardern.
Williams pointing out the facts that some of us are not as well treated as some others of us, and definitely need an advocate is not too bad a thing is it? We know there are layers in society and the ones at the bottom have to put up with more than those ...
Wandering in their mind - that is a useful expression. We have had reality tv that isn't reality but managed theatre; does anyone know what reality is here on terra firma (plus occasional shakes)? This is one of the things that women were pushing against ...

Right on SPC. Make it easy to be gooder, until the whole lot go up on a rising tide. Carrots needed more with sticks available to be used, that do get used.
Sounds like good thinking SPC. And on why everything is SNAFU on housing and everything: Here is some more - a Ted talk on capitalism by someone who says he is at the top level of the 1% wweeaalltthhyy - people who have multiples of everything! https://www...
SPC you nail it - Free speech can never be truly free, but especially when you fix your moniker to it, it can be like punching yourself somewhere vital.
Brilliant Poission
If you feel like some intelligent goofiness thought up by clever collegians and profs, you can't go beyond Tom Lehrer's lucidity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxFCQplZgKI
That sums up a lot of business in NZ Ad.
The Nanny State gets taken for granted, but just compare it to the present which is more like the USA flim flam about standing tall and being independent. They started their country off with slaves, how independent is that. And when they changed from ...
Charleston could if the conditions are right, be a beauty spot on the West Coast. Perhaps there could be a marina in one of the double bays there. An historic piece says that in colonial days they landed in Constance Bay. There could be an ecological ...
No worries, we'll get it fixed and it'll go like the clappers. In the meantime a bit of the old pioneer spirit needed, and patience. [third and last time; removed the following text from user name: “Timely warning”] See my note above. Will do.
A gun sick nation. USA a fourth-world nation and soon emulating Nigeria probably. [second time removed the following text from user name: “Timely warning”] I haven't done anything to my user name - don't know why it should be different. Thanks for ...
Timely warning for now. https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/SC2107/S00051/frequent-flooding-in-nz-expert-reaction.htm [removed the following text from user name: "Timely warning"]
The farmers often bring up the loss of land available for farming and money earning. Perhaps the areas could be covenanted or something if that seems better to them, or shown how people with covenants manage, or they could grow special trees there that ...
I was looking down the coast - Charleston has a port which perhaps could have some work done to open the entry. Higher land behind. https://teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/20987/charleston-from-the-air This is thorough report on coastline. https://ref....
What a fantastic shot from Denniston Plateau. The air must be pure up there. Perhaps we could bottle it and send it to China.
Perhaps the government can establish what they want, and then come down from Wellington and work with the individual farmers and talk to the people and farmers in their area about what they could achieve and how best to do it. It would lance the bursting ...

A clever, amusing title to brighten the day. It's about a serious subject but just a pause for a smile before reading further. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch/audio/2018804301/money-for-the-mob-and-hoha-over-koha
Someone was saying about the heartless way the Covid19 system doesn't take into consideration personal circumstances and the reply seemed to be that those can't be considered - apparently it is first come, best served. Probably an algorithm deciding it. ...
