Heeeeeeeeeeey – nazzer !!!!!!!

And I threw in an extra week for free too – I could’ve repassworded my ass out of hock in time for 20 Jan. I’m just far too kind and generous to the rest of humanity. Where’s my parade for being far far far too much and so damned cute with it ?

Demerits are like motorbikes. You haven’t really joined the club until you’ve canned off. And I’ve crashed every type of vehicle there is and taken naps in most forms of moving metal.

And the demerits are just like my old shitarse job driving large pieces of junk full of self-loading living dead cattle on two legs. They could’ve chucked me any old time they wanted – I was late every single day to work. 1, 2, 3 – you’re out of here. But I was late every single day for years. And the insults and banter has been going on here for ages – I’ve been around over a year now – nothing ever happened. It wasn’t like – Len Brown sex scandal level of shock – it was just – oh ok. Well that could’ve happened at any time and now it has. So – that’s fine, someone can spell out exactly where the line is for me.

250 looks too low. If either of these two stay in then they have to get well past 250 – and if they can the Indians could do it easily too – if we allow them to.

Handy hint…..usually when the “C” word comes up you’re sailing fairly close to the wind.

That was a lovely little shake. Now I’ve got to wait until late evening for the old ticker to calm down. Thanks a lot plate movements….

I got the low rumble warning and then waiting for the shake bit is awesome fun. Like watching someone take a swing at ya instead of just getting blindsided.

to nasska & johnboy,

I have been reliably informed that “the bridesmaid” stigie is out of action for the weekend living it up at a wedding in Queen Charlotte Sound, some luxury resort. Just in case you were wondering or not.

Nosty – yeah, but it’s when you know that *something* is coming – you just don’t know what. You’ve time enough time to coil up like a spring with anticipation of the earth doing a booty dance…..

This joint did the old jailhouse rock. It didn’t shake it much… but that’s like David Tua telling you it can’t really hurt because he wasn’t putting any effort into landing a left hook to your jaw….

nazzer – you are indeed as always the wise wizened wizard, a wheal whizz….

I got booted because of some kind of weirdo internet stalker slime that oozed into the place setting up multiple accounts so they could tell me just how much they loved me. Of course this idiot is going to do whatever they can to get rid of me. Pretending to be lots of different people, hello ?? Yeah – I’m the one with a problem. Setting up multiple accounts initially to target one other KB user. Yeah – I’m the one with the problem.

On the office romance thread my numerous posts were showing that this idiot, with who knows how many accounts, was adding multiple downvotes to each post. I don’t give a shit about downvotes – it matters only that it shows how pathetic this twerp is. Claiming that I’m a monster while pretending to be different people. Good one.

So what – can a user have as many accounts on here as they want ? Can I have ten different usernames and accounts and post using all of them at one time and pretend they’re all different people ?

I don’t know exactly how it’s done but “Petal”, one of the mods on Whale’s blog posted this last year (8 June):

….”The only thing that ever amused me was redbaiter leaving a comment, and within 10 minutes he would have 15 upvotes, when it takes an hour or so for anyone else to accumulate that many. It was when he started saying he was the most popular and publicly supported commenter as “proven” by his accumulated upvotes that it was time to expose him. Yes, it can be rigged. Easily so. You want upvotes? Go for broke. Just having 4 browsers will get you 3, and that’s before you do anything more exciting than that like use your tablet and phone as well. I found it amusing he decided to trade on it. Of course, he didn’t like to be called on it, asking if I thought he would really do that on purpose. I replied in the positive, as it was very obviously rigged (unless he has a few dozen acolytes on stand-by at all times). His ability to “outperform” any of the prolific and genuinely popular commenters by a factor of 3-4, and to do so not throughout the day but within 20 minutes of posting was a little too odd for it to be believable. “……

“One of life’s great sporting joys is listening to “Rocking” Ron Snowden being part of the cricket commentary team.

The man is so bad at the job that he has become compulsory listening, he is the Wellington equivalent of the appalling Allen McLaughlin.”

so there Dime was.. driving home.. listening to this idiot. it went something like this:

“Hes hit it, here we go, a catch coming up! and hessssssssssss dropped it!!! (at this point im thinking fuck yeah)… hes dropped 100 grand!”

that was his commentary of a 6! prat!

Nasska – exactly. It’s the internet. And….. yep.. it’s the internet. So for me I’m shut down by an actual troll with multiple accounts who doesn’t give a single fuck about this site or anyone or anything on it really – just wants to take me down. Cool.

I suppose 59 comments isn’t actually a bad effort starting on November 8 for someone who probably couldn’t care less and has no real interest in the place. Wow – that’s even only slightly less than one comment per day on average. Cranking them out like nobody’s business.

I’d already seen the Redbaiter upvote thing but you’ve just hit it out of the park so thanks for that. Shit you’re useful mate. You’re like no. 8 wire or something. KB duct tape – just wrap your brain around shit and watch it keep ticking along forever and a day.

Just tried to turn on 1 News for the first time in years. Wanted to see some of the Tolley v Turei inane catfight, and especially Crusher weighing in.

I get to the third story which is of some feral looking woman whining that her brat might be bullied because she doesn’t have a tag for paying her school donations. Ms Hillbilly is concerned this “will reflect badly on her as a parent”.

Of course it reflects badly on you?! I sympathise to the extent politicians proclaim us to have “free” education but you are really just doing your kids and your kids’ school/teachers a disservice by being a tight arse or not being able to afford it…schools aren’t profitable corporates you know?

One of the idiosyncrasies of Kiwiblog is the political & theological tendencies of many of those who comment here & even those who vote on those comments.

Our host is of a socially liberal & fiscally conservative bent & as such, an easy fit within the National Party yet his blog attracts religious fruitloops & conservonutters by the hundreds. Even DPF himself is regularly attacked by them on the basis that he is too liberal.

If you want your “Karma” scores to always be positive may I suggest…..

1) Think of the most outlandish piece of conservoshit you can think of & push it hard. eg all beneficiaries should be stoned to death would do the trick.

2) Learn to love Baby Jesus….never under any circumstances say anything vaguely positive about another religious grouping or deny the existence of an imaginary Skydaddy.

3) Always type the name of Our Saviour, Colin Craig, with your head bowed & reverence in your heart, for he is The Great Messiah sent to save us all from the degenerate heathens.

OR you could always do what I do & extend two fingers to those who know better than me how to live my life. Your “Karma” score will be as bad as mine but at least you can face tomorrow with a smile. 🙂

What a joke.

Hard questions thrown at Len Brown

Auckland Mayor Len Brown’s family values in the wake of his affair were questioned today during a public question and answer session in Pukekohe.

At the Mayor in the Chair event, Auckland businessman Rick Splinter questioned him on the controversy of the Sky City room upgrades – and the integrity of his ”family values”.

”My family values are between me and my family,” Brown replied, who until then had escaped any tough questions on his personal life.

”But I voted for you because of your family values,” a woman interrupted from the library floor before turning and leaving.

On the other hand:

But there was also support for Brown during the afternoon’s discussions.

Karl Flavell, of Waiuku and a representative for local iwi, urged the mayor to take care of the Manukau Harbour, to ensure environmental balance in the wake of heavy localised growth.

Flavell came away feeling positive, after Brown promised a visit to the marae to see the iwi’s concerns first hand.

”Yeah, I think the mayor is back on track, and he’s moving forward. He’s ready to lead the waka.”

I wonder how Flavell would have responded if Brown had invited him to visit the Ngati Whatua room instead. Would “moving forward” and “leading the waka” have a different meaning in that context? 🙂

nasska – I think about the smile option and then I think…mmmm….I don’t think so and take the ‘stay in bed blank expression of who gives a shit’ option.

Great post – of course a fanboy would say that.

Do you know what would be cool ? If it turned out there were really two Gods called Adam and Steve. Obviously both bent as boomerangs and camp as anything. That would be what I call a plot twist. All the lovely fresh arrivals to heaven will have no trouble showing their loving respect for a happy couple.

You know nazz – what is it with you ? Every 60+ talkback caller has the same punchdrunk sad cracking shaky voiced last legs drone and carbon copy shared collective socially-programmed brainfart outdated bollocky set of dinosaur views. How do you manage to be as old as fuck and yet so utterly unlike the 99.9% of cloney crones of your generation ? Do you sometimes feel like Darwin would have ? 🙂

AN 18-YEAR-OLD girl brings her boyfriend home from uni and asks her mum if it’s alright if he sleeps in her bedroom that night.

“You’re a grown up now,” says the mother. “But don’t do anything stupid.”

Later, the mother is walking past the door when she hears, “Baby, baby, baby, ohh!” inside.

She burst in and screams, “What the hell are you doing?”

The girl says, “Mum! We’re having sex!”

“Thank God!” replies the mother. “For a minute there I thought you were listening to a Justin Bieber CD.”

The island was given its Maori name by Kupe 1000 years ago.

Johnboy as resident expert of things in your patch can you confirm the above statement. I found it on the DOC website.

My recollection is that Maori have only been in NZ about 500 years.

Good on ya nazz. I might have to retire for the evening and as I drift off toward, and with any luck, a better place – not smiling at all – most likely grimacing in a manner not unlike someone constipated somewhere around the defcon four level of blue moon agony – I’ll be contemplating how much better off this country would be if everyone had to wear a hi-viz and the poor-off kids were given all the food they’ll ever need by starry-eyed lefties. And how much better off the families will be if they get a helping handout of $60 per week breeder’s bread. And how much less dysfunctional and better behaved the lower social echelons will be once they receive their little sprinklings of pixie sparkle glitter.

If only that had been the way when I was a wee nipper. I know that would have made a difference in my life. I could’ve been the next Bill Gates if only I’d had a better start and worn a hi-viz more often, like walking to and from school as they do nowadays. And a sun hat in the summer terms instead of melting my head. It’s the bulletproof feeling of assurance you get from brightly coloured synthetic safety clothing – swaddled up in an emotional state more receptive to the possibilities of this green/ blue paradise.

Hey – do you remember when I did a straight comparison between your life and RBs and he seemed to melt like the wicked witch right out of the place ? Well – could have been mere co-incidence. Or all the non-stop praying I did to my personal saviours Adam and Steve. Or the pins I kept sticking in dolls and chanting and clapping and cucumber-yarring. Aaaaah – I miss the good old days. Yes – it was a different time back in 2013. You could call an expensive jacket worn by a fat schoolgirlish sounding party co-leader vile, wrong and ugly and still watch your support in the polls climb like a skyrocket. We didn’t know how good we had it.

The man who said eight weeks ago that the New Zealand cricket team would take on the BEST team in the world at the one day game and thrash them 4 1/2 to 1/2.
I told him that whatever he had been drinking, I will have a quart of it.
This is the most unbelievable achievement in New Zealand’s cricketing history.

General Information The objective of this RFP is to find the best suited provider(s) for the supply of Professional Congress Organiser/Event Management Services for the Asia Pacific Forum (APAC Forum).

The APAC Forum will be held in Melbourne, Australia on 1-3 September 2014.

The successful provider(s) will support the Counties Manukau District Health Board to ensure the successful implementation of APAC Forum in 2014.

So how many knee-joint operations could be done instead of this exercise in futility and a nice trip to OZ for management.

Stunning thrashing of india in the final ODI game in Wellington, masterful stuff from Ross Taylor and a good bowling performance by the new guy Matt Henry, I had never previously heard of him but he had a solid first up performance and showed he has a bright future, would still have gone for Anderson over Neesham who IMO does nothing to justify a place in the 13 let alone the eleven.

Guptill has continued his batting as though he were opening in a test, I think it is certain that was a deliberate admin decision looking toward the tests. I don’t think there has ever been a recent time when the BC’s have had both the depth and solid enterprise to dig into the top drawer bowlers to initiate them against top international competition and continue winning. Good early rounds.

“If any of you were wondering what shite looks like here’s a photo.”

No you did not show the gutless filth who attacked a man with dogs, backed up with tasers, guns, all their filth mates, and a corrupt system. What cowards. Almost all filth are vile sexually deviant power tripping cowards. It does not matter how nice and decent your filth mates are. When challenged they back each other up and decency is forgotten. It is not about right or wrong for filth. It is about fitting in. Same for soldiers and other government departments. Right wing shills forget the filth and soldiers are the enforcement arm of political whim. Grow up nasska.

Historic Matiu/Somes Island

For such a small island, Matiu/Somes has a big history!

The island was given its Maori name by Kupe 1000 years ago.

<

Kupe

By checking "polynesian oral records" had "Auburn Hair"
Yes he was a GINGA

If the records of him and about him are accurate
and "they are"

The next Question is who were all the "Small Fairs skinned friendly aboriginals"
he found in NZ

Check the Oral History of his visit to "Mercury Bay" it state that quite clearly

Cook and Kupe arrived in Mercury Bay about 800years apart
but set foot in almost identical places

Read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patupaiarehe

So by their own "polynesian oral records" polynesians were NOT the first peoples of the Pacific
