“Why should I, as an actual Taxpayer, pay for their pecadillos.
If Auckland want all these things then let them pay for it.
My views are, I am sure supported by most of the 70% of the country who are not Aucklanders.”

Oh dear!. Paulus, if the Jafa’s were to do as you say then your miserable little hick town would have no money spent on it at all. Jafa’s fund the rest of NZ, you should be kissing their backside. Every time you have your local road repaired you should thank the people of Auckland.

“Can all the provincial holidays and have the Monday closest to Matariki instead.”

What the fuck is Matariki and why the hell should we care?

A better idea would be for the rest of NZ to fall in line with Auckland/Waikato and have their anniversary when the Jafa’s and cow fuckers have theirs.

Most Obama bots wouldn’t have a damn clue what the song is about or least of all its origins-

On September 3, 1814, following the Burning of Washington and the Raid on Alexandria, Francis Scott Key and John Stuart Skinner set sail from Baltimore aboard the ship HMS Minden, flying a flag of truce on a mission approved by President James Madison. Their objective was to secure the exchange of prisoners, one of whom was Dr. William Beanes, the elderly and popular town physician of Upper Marlboro and a friend of Key’s who had been captured in his home.

Beanes was accused of aiding the arrest of British soldiers. Key and Skinner boarded the British flagship HMS Tonnant on September 7 and spoke with Major General Robert Ross and Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane over dinner while the two officers discussed war plans. At first, Ross and Cochrane refused to release Beanes, but relented after Key and Skinner showed them letters written by wounded British prisoners praising Beanes and other Americans for their kind treatment.

Because Key and Skinner had heard details of the plans for the attack on Baltimore, they were held captive until after the battle, first aboard HMS Surprise and later back on HMS Minden. After the bombardment, certain British gunboats attempted to slip past the fort and effect a landing in a cove to the west of it, but they were turned away by fire from nearby Fort Covington, the city’s last line of defense.

During the rainy night, Key had witnessed the bombardment and observed that the fort’s smaller “storm flag” continued to fly, but once the shell and Congreve rocket[4] barrage had stopped, he would not know how the battle had turned out until dawn. By then, the storm flag had been lowered and the larger flag had been raised.

During the bombardment, HMS Erebus provided the “rockets’ red glare”. HMS Meteor provided at least some of the “bombs bursting in air”.

Key was inspired by the American victory and the sight of the large American flag flying triumphantly above the fort. This flag, with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, came to be known as the Star Spangled Banner Flag and is today on display in the National Museum of American History, a treasure of the Smithsonian Institution. It was restored in 1914 by Amelia Fowler, and again in 1998 as part of an ongoing conservation program.

Aboard the ship the next day, Key wrote a poem on the back of a letter he had kept in his pocket. At twilight on September 16, he and Skinner were released in Baltimore. He completed the poem at the Indian Queen Hotel, where he was staying, and entitled it “Defence of Fort McHenry”.

HamiltonJet MD slams John Key’s acceptance of high NZ$ as “arrogant and not very intelligent”; says over-valued NZ$ big threat to its business

Whiteley was asked after the apperance before the parliamentary inquiry what he thought of Prime Minister John Key’s recent comments that little could be done to bring the New Zealand dollar down and that it was good for importers and consumers.

“It really is an arrogant view and it’s not really very intelligent,” Whiteley said.

“The single target (of inflation between 1-3%) is now past it’s use-by date. It’s time the government did its bit,” he said, arguing HamiltonJet was continually improving its efficiency and productivity.

How concerned are you about housing affordability?
January 23, 2013 – 10:03am, Gareth Vaughan

Not concerned. People can just rent, or borrow more money and/or set their sights lower.
78% (214 votes)
Very concerned. I and/or my kids may struggle to buy our own home.
14% (39 votes)
Moderately concerned. There are still affordable homes or apartments around if you’re prepared to look and move suburbs or to a new city/town.

A woman walks into her doctor’s office, scared of the recent
strange development to the inside of her thighs, a green spot
on the inside of each. They won’t wash off, they won’t scrape
off, and they seem to be getting worse.

The doctor assures her he’ll get to the bottom of this, and
that she needn’t worry until the tests come back.
He sends her home.

A few days later, the women’s phone rings..
Much to her relief, it’s the doctor. She immediately begs
to know what’s going on with these “spots”??

“You’re perfectly healthy….there’s no problem,
“But I’m wondering…is your husband a Harley rider?”
the doctor asks.

“Yes, how did you know”?

“Tell him his earrings aren’t real gold”.

From Longknives link:

However, the band and the singer had decided Sunday night to use a precorded music track, since they were unable to coordinate a time for a full rehearsal. “She wasn’t comfortable performing without a rehearsal, and I wasn’t comfortable that either,” he said. “We always knew that was a possibility.” Every singer in yesterday’s inauguration had a “safety” track at the ready in case weather, temperatures, or instrument problems arose at the last minute; Kelly Clarkson’s was recorded on Saturday in Washington, although she did sing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” live at the ceremony.

Are you really one of those sad bastards who is “proud to be a kiwi”?

Are you so lacking in self worth that you have to cling to the collective idea that being a “kiwi” is special? Ask yourself this, what do you have to be proud of?

The reality is bereal that we don’t have anything here that the rest of the world does not have (save for a few birds and the like)

We are not unique, we are not special, we are no better than any other civilised first world country. So what is there to be proud of?

Rampant nationalism is a very dangerous thing indeed. If you cannot see that then you are more stupid than I thought.

Redbaiter.

Patriotism is even more dangerous than Nationalism.

Look at the pathetic displays we see on our TV every week when we are force fed inane American sporting contests. Not one of these bowl things, or rounders series can start without the sickening and compulsory sight of faux devotion to the stars and stripes.

Nationalism and Patriotism are used by control freaks such as yourself Redbaiter to control or silence those who speak out against your fucked up idea of how the world should be.

quite simple bereal what I typed was typed by a sober person,

but translated for the alcoholically impaired, what I said was, ‘ Marvin Gaye had a chronic addiction to crack cocaine so he probably did’nt know where he was or care where he was performing and that it was sad that less than a year later his father shot him dead.

Last Saturday, my laptop was stolen from my car while I was shopping.
Lucky for me, there was a surveillance camera mounted on the wall near my car, and security personnel were able to give me a pretty good image of the suspect.

Now the police have asked me to circulate the picture to people I know, to see if they know or have seen the suspect.
I immediately thought of you for help on this.

If you recognize the suspect, please let me know.
I am not really interested in my laptop anymore as it is insured, but I would just like to get my hands on the person who stole it.

Does this look like anyone you know?

The scientist are predicting more extreme weather in the great global warming hoax

The cost of insurance is rising to pay for a strange and unexplained rise in high cost natural disasters

As well as increasing food costs due to again wild and extreme weather.

Why do you chose to degenerate the achievement our society has achieved
Little things like universal suffrage . Splitting the atom. The summit of Everest
We rate as outstanding in inconsequential details like
health, education, environment, freedom from corruption, community, life satisfaction,
freedom.
Take out income, work life balance and housing see who is left
http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/#/00555555550
We have a culture and a history we can be justly proud of
Nationalism and patriotism as per the USA. No. Piss on the flag, moon the governor general and always butcher the words to glod defend NZ.

Proud of my nation yes Why not .

So, a new week and its seems Mr Slippery is right up there, this time for either another memory lapse or just plain telling porkies.

The identity of a United States spy who mysteriously landed in Wellington last year can be revealed as National Security Agency director General Keith Alexander.

The visit by the senior spook was so top secret that Prime Minister John Key repeatedly refused to name him. The four-star general sparked intrigue when his US army jet landed at the capital’s airport late in November.

Mr Key, the minister in charge of intelligence services, initially denied knowledge of the plane, and, despite pledging to find out more, later refused to reveal the identity of the visitor.

Sources say General Alexander visits New Zealand up to four times a year, and Mr Key would have approved the visits.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/8233486/Mystery-spooks-identity-confirmed

Not sure why he needs to do this. Stupid in the extreme. But becoming a hallmark of his time as PM. A time that’s starting to look limited.

A spokeswoman for Mr Key said yesterday: “As the prime minister said last year, he doesn’t track every official that comes to New Zealand and he did not believe it was in the public interest to talk about who was on the plane.”

Really, how stupid do these people think the world is?

Parliamentary Inquiry? Since when? Nah…. it was simply another WOFTM knee jerk from the opposition parties.

And clearly the reporter missed the fact that, if the dollar was ever manipulated down for some reason, all imports would increase in price…. including everyday commodities such as oil etc. Pffttt….
