Food for thought I agree Reid but I suspect the real reason is their fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

Quite so Reid. I’ve never had the chance to use my Goldcard on the Waiheke Ferry yet.

Praise the Lord that I shall live so long to achieve that! 🙂

The real reason is FEAR.

False. Evidence. Appearing. Real.

Actually Griff it is you who are mathematically illiterate – it always amazes me who the scientifically and mathematically illiterate reveal their ignorance in their pontifications.

Temperature Griff old chum is a scalar variable that varies continuously in space (three dimensions) and time and has been recorded by reading different thermometers by different people at different times and places through the years to compute a supposed average with an arbitary start and end date for this process.

The number produced is essentially meaningless when compared to the number produced for April this year which by necessity will be either higher or lower than that with which it is compared. Of course by choosing different start and end dates for our computation of the “average” we can flip the result

By choosing a different set of thermometer readings to compute the “average” we can flip the result and so forth.

What I don’t get is the way to be really happy is to be all smug and superior about how you’re just simply way better than everyone else period, no doubt whatsoever.

Isn’t it.

So therefore how come the media instead of giving us all this bullshit about how there are victims here there and everywhere, why don’t they give us non-stop stories on winners just like us, who sneer and laugh at the silly old victims and their mishaps and disasters because, hello, it didn’t happen to us.

How come they don’t do that?

Talk about a ratings bonanza if they did.

Don’t agree Andrei.

The last JW that popped down to Chateau JB was an old grandfather chap with a little grandson in tow on a Saturday.

He started his spiel so I ignored him and addressed the little chap. From my house you can hear the happy little chaps voices from the Rugby park on a Saturday if the wind is right. I said to the little chap

“Why are you wasting your time trudging around the streets with this old sod when you could be down the road playing rugby with all the other little blokes?”

The old sod grabbed his little sprogs hand and fucked off. They have never come back. I inspected my mailbox for a black spot but couldn’t see one! 🙂

Of course you could. And imagine how many they’d sell here if the hopeless Hoskings simply featured winners like you and I roaring with cheerful laughter as we had our winning fun with the silly old motorists who thought it’d be a good idea to wait at the lights instead of just charging out, who cares what was coming. Ratings.

Through. The. Roof.

I hope the people replacing the Campbell Live girly debacle are reading this conversation very closely indeed.

BTW are you going to watch the last episode on Friday?

I might, but only because there’s a good chance he’ll start blubbing. The downside is that if he doesn’t I’ve just wasted 30 mins I’ll never get back. I’m thinking I might just tape it and see what the media reports about it, and if there’s no blubbing, I’ll just tape over it.

Andrei you seem to be very confused about what we are talking about.
You seem to believe that we do not have a representation of global temperature that is repeatable by a number of different statistical methods.
You can not “flip” the temperature by using different data as long the data used is globally representative it says basically the same thing.

I used a year because it is a common concept of time . we are talking climate not the daily chaos of weather.
The end date is the latest available on that site.
The globe is measured by many thousands of thermometers.
Changing the ones used makes little difference provided the number , spread and weighting is a fair representation of the globes temperature.
You are not a rational person so any one sane would find it extremely hard to debate with you.

Bleeding them doesn’t do any harm Reid but it’s the oil store between the flesh & the skin that gives kahawai its unpopular taste. Next time you prepare one carve the reddish brown flesh off the fillet & you’ll be left with a bland but edible feed.

Thanks mate, I haven’t had one for twenty years but I’m about to start fishing again. Tell me, as a fellow hunter, re: the bland but edible feed, how do they go if you chop their heads off and split them in half and bleed them and get rid of the reddish brown flesh and then chuck em back cos they’re bland albeit edible, but nothing else was biting so what the hell? Do they get over it, or do they just play dead and stop playing with you, for no reason at all?

The best bet in that case is remember to stick a couple of large hooks into the fillet before you cast it back out reid
You will be surprised at how many times a large fillet of fresh kahwai for bait will result in a large snapper taking the hook.
I would recommend running a separate rod for such a large bait as else wise it gets boring waiting for the big one. Stingrays are the inevitable by catch of using whole fillets so you need robust gear .

“Perfect Pukeko”

Shoot pluck and gut your Pukeko
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil
Chuck grandads old axhead into the pan
Chuck the Pukeko, ten carrots, three onions into the pan
Season with salt and pepper and boil for six hours.
Test the axhead with a fork.
If it is tender toss out the Pukeko
Eat the axhead on a bed of carrot and onions!

gee waikatosinger you accuse me of talking crap

I see what you did there Griff – comparing summer sea ice extent at one pole to winter sea ice extent at the other, and using percentage change where absolute change should have been used to further conceal the true situation. Yet another bunch of cute number tricks; another lesson in lying with statistics from Griff. Of course if you want to really look at what is happening to sea ice levels the number to look at is global sea ice extent; currently at close to a record high level. The fact that you need to resort to number trickery to try to support your case says it all really.

How about you back your hand waving with something besides wingnut talking points, cherry picked data , outright denial of realty, and a propensity to play pigeon chess….

http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/nasa-study-shows-global-sea-ice-diminishing-despite-antarctic-gains

Sea ice increases in Antarctica do not make up for the accelerated Arctic sea ice loss of the last decades, a new NASA study finds. As a whole, the planet has been shedding sea ice at an average annual rate of 13,500 square miles (35,000 square kilometers) since 1979, the equivalent of losing an area of sea ice larger than the state of Maryland every year.

“Even though Antarctic sea ice reached a new record maximum this past September, global sea ice is still decreasing,” said Claire Parkinson, author of the study and climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. “That’s because the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.”
