It is like most reports or Commissions of Enquiry, either the terms of reference are too narrow or the recommendations are not acted on. Complete waste of money. The latest Welfare Enquiry is so disheartening that it may as well not been commissioned. ...
In an ideal world the law would be set in stone, never to be tampered with, no matter what government was in power then it could possibly be tolerated. But of course that will never happen and it will be meddled with, the criteria widened and it will end ...
Since when did Roger Douglas the pig farmer need "public support" to bring in his harsh regime of economic reform. Rubbish that she needs the public on board. Ardern is known to have said she is risk averse. She has an overwhelming mandate to do whatever ...
More snippets from Devonport. I was visiting there today and a middle aged female stalwart from the area accosted me in the doorway of a shop and demanded why I was wearing a mask. I said "I am setting an example" she replied "well I think its all a lot of...
Out of all this turmoil and cliff hanging US election a new saying has been created. The Philadelphia Mayor has told Trump "to put on his big boy pants.....". I can see this becoming a new phrase when somebody male is acting like a 2 year old and having ...
Even if Trump is frogmarched out of the Whitehouse he will still continue to keep influencing and ruling the Trump followers from his Twitter Account. He is a master at it and is addicted to his daily edicts he pours out to his people. Unless he can be ...
Aljezeera (if you can get it) is giving non-stop coverage, interviews, stats etc and is very helpful if anybody is interested.
Hi Robert With all the turmoil in the world going on its nice to see our nature cycle operating well in our garden. Pegleg our patriarch of the blackbirds has one again mated with a female and is now feeding his family like his life depended on it. Gammy ...
MFAT are issuing safe travel warnings to kiwis residing in the US citing pending violence and civil unrest with the pending US presidential election and up until the swearing in of a new president. Sounds pretty much like it is a forgone conclusion there ...

I agree with you Logie97. I too see heaps of people walking straight past obviously placed QR posters and registers with pen attached to manually write their name and phone number and they obviously need to see Specsavers. Also well placed hand sanitiser ...
Off topic here. Have just come in from a 2 hour trip- - out with a friend op shopping and generally looking in different shops and timeout for lunch. This is Auckland North Shore and I can tell you the attitude of our residents here is total apathy towards...

Like you I have erosive gastritis and arthritis. The gut wont take anti-inflammatories so I just take fish oil and glucosomine and its amazing how pain tolerant one can become. I have had foot surgery and a knee replacement but I still do get out and walk ...
Those Green Fairies sound like great ladies. For all the female elderly arthritic ladies and gents mustn't forget them, and those who have anxiety and stress in their lives young or old bring it on. Being a reformed non drinker for health reasons a calming...
Anyone experiencing polling booths not open for early voting in their areas. Devonport a rather twee quaint area of our Auckland North Shore has two out of the three booths closed because it is school holidays and kids need the buildings for their holiday ...
Judith Collins is just a trashy piece of trailer trash. Her "poor wee thing" describing Jacinda Adern is classic "how low can you get" - uncouth is another description or as my old grannie used to say to me "all hair oil and no socks". She is a disgrace to...
I am not a small brained provincial hick thank you. This is our shit up here and for the sake of the rest of the country we shouldn't be allowed to take this shit out of town. [Removed the first sentence of your comment from your user name field]
Was out in the Albany shopping precinct (mall and adjoining blocks of shops) on Saturday morning and was so impressed with the very high turnout of mask wearers and shoppers using the tracing ap. All ages and ethnicities . I would have put it at about 85%....
Thank you Muttonbird. No matter what your beliefs are nobody is above the law. Public Health safeguards are a serious matter for everybody. Why these fundamental churches/conspiracy theorists big so deep into the dark web I have no idea. They become so ...
It is unfortunate that Pacifica people are involved with this Evangelical Church. These fundamentalist churches attract people of all races, and all kinds of levels of our society. I know well educated white folk who are life long followers of the ...
Thank you Robert. Yes we love our birds. Tui, fantails, kereru wax eyes and then all the blackies, thrushes starlings you name it. They make such a mess in the garden but then they give us such a lot of fun. They love our bird baths, tui dive bomb into ...
Hi Robert. I have posted you in the past of our resident cock blackbird. He has a damaged foot which has bent in on itself. He manages very good and is looking splendid. I am wondering if you know how long these house wild birds survive in their natural ...
I survived the Hong Kong flu in UK which killed 1 million approx world wide. It was the 1968/69 H3N2 flu variant. It was a disgustingly nasty illness but unlike the Covid19 virus it did not have lingering side effects. This Covid19 virus is a terrible ...
Thank you Patricia. Yes we worry over our kids no matter how adult they are. There are many countries all over the world in a far worse state than we are and yet there are so many here who just cannot appreciate how better off we are here. Even our worse ...
Completely agree with thee presser. Lots of totally unnecessary provocative questions. Hipkins and Bloomfield dealt with them very well. On a happier note we in Auckland are having a simply beautiful day. Did all the rose pruning today, gave them a feed ...
The Australian Foreign Minister should have told Pompeo that the US should get its own house in order first and regime change there should be a first priority.
Channel One breakfast show had a slew of emails in and all were praising Collins and saying about time National got its act together. What surprised me was most of the emails were from females. My goodness me we have a lot of red neck rwnj's in NZ. It sent...
Even if the stress of being confined is, as you say not a reason to call it a mental health issue - then explain why does a person smash a window and break a fence to get out if it is not a problem they have in their head. By the way having mental health ...
