Whereas the Cruz and Kasich supporters will vote trump as they hate Clinton as well.

It’ll be interesting to see how many votes Gary Johnson can get from the Bernie and Anyone but Trump camps.

The Cavendish Banana that is 90% of those eaten worldwide since the 1960’s is being wiped out by a virus. The Cavendish banana was developed in Britain after the previous common banana was wiped out.

The banana fungal disease has been discovered on a farm in Queensland and the authorities are trying to prevent it spreading. Bananas are A-sexual, reproduce themselves so it is inevitable once the fungal spores reach them the plants will perish as they have no immunity. It is inevitable the fungi will spread.

Never fear, the race is on to produce the next banana to win preference for sales worldwide.

Shades of the Irish Potato Famine of the late 1840s. Just as well few people use bananas as their primary food source. Ecuador? Pacific Islands?

Yep the previous main banana clone was called Gros Michel “big mike” largely wiped out by disease back in the 1950’s, hence the “Yes, we have no bananas song”. No big deal they will develop other clones.

BTW wild bananas aren’t asexual. Only the seedless cultivars are.

Why Trump will win Indiana

1) Trump is now close to the magical 1237 and the Republican delegates in Indiana don’t want a confused contested Convention (as is now -ironically – threatening the Democrats) and will vote to clean this away – ie give it to the clear frontrunner Trump even if they don’t necessarily support him.

2) This is all the more likely as Indiana is an end-game and decides if the circus rolls on to CA or not; Repub.s want this put to bed so Indiana will deliver.

3) The Ted Cruz VP early announcement re Carly Fiorina looked desperate.

4) Carly Fiorina is toxic in Indiana after her outsourcing while at Hewlett-Packard (she was Hewlett-Packard CEO 1999 to 2005).

5) News is that HP is outsourcing even more workers offshore: plays right into Trump’s simplistic but resonant narrative “Jobs for America First”.

6) Gossip that Trump could choose Condelezza Rice is – even if untrue or as yet undecided – a Trump trumping card to the early Carly roll-out. Neutralised.

7) Delegates don’t like the idea of that supposed behind-the-scenes Cruz Kasich collusion (Reagan tried this against Ford and it failed).
They also don’t like it now appears both lied or are lying about this – plays to Trump’s “Lying Ted Cruz” by-line (which he would not say unless he had evidence).

8) Someone has likened Cruz to a look-a-like Nixon (which I have also thought).

9) Geraldo Rivera says he cannot support Cruz after anti-semitic sentiment detected in Cruz statements in New York by that veteran reporter.

10) The Boehner comments were devastating; not so much for their allusions to Lucifer (obvious hyperbole) as much as the revelation that internally Cruz is not liked by anyone within the Republican party.

To save money I re-cycled the wooden windows that folk had dispensed with to fit aluminium [ which let heat out wonderfully 🙂 ] so when I came to double graze with 3mm plastic the wooden windows stayed put and had the plastic screwed to them when they opened and on simple 2×1 frames for fixed windows. [ Being a mere male I am more interested in how things work than looks ]
I was influenced by an America and his ‘Engineer your House’ book which I read in the sixties and he depreciated the thin air gap of the typical double glaze glass and none of my gaps is less than 1cm and often 5-6cm. Living on a main road with trucks from 4am taking logs to the wharf I enjoy a 100mm gap which reduces the noise level and I sleep through the traffic. 🙂

Donald Trump took a major step toward sewing up the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday with a victory in Indiana’s primary election, dashing the hopes of rival Ted Cruz and other GOP forces who fear the brash businessman will doom their party in the general election.

Meh. The smell puts me off, but each to his or her own.

But the way Pacific Islanders cook green bananas in coconut cream (tastes like kumara) is ok…and Cook Islanders banana poke is fantastic. Is about the most unappetising thing you’ve ever seen. – not dissimilar in appearance to dog shit, actually! – but it tastes like a very rich instant pudding. Goes straight to the hips and tummy, not to mention clogging the arteries!

Interesting read.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/79563531/st-john-response-times-questioned-after-man-waits-for-an-hour-with-broken-leg

I have to say, I have very little time for people who criticise the work of St John. I know a few people highly involved in various aspects of the organisation, and it’s often a thankless task… with a fair few time wasters.

But go ahead and read to the bottom of the piece and tell me how well you think the article matches the headline, and the reality of the comments.

Since Penny Bright not only claims Cameron Slater slights her good reputation, but because others also makes unclear statements (the hose has been there 4 years replacing a leaking pipe, the meter was not functioning properly, Penny’s partner altered the delivery system), I think she needs to tell us –

Does she actually use any Watercare water? 
And does she pay for it?

A straight “Yes” or “No” to each question in view of the importance Penny places on her transparency and integrity as a 2016 Mayoral candidate.

Quite right, Fletch. Next they’ll be trying to re-write the history books to say the likes of Alexander the Great, Pope Benedict IX, Richard the Lionheart and Leonardo da Vinci were all gay. But they wouldn’t get away with it in the case of Oscar Wilde!

Blackadder: Yes, well, look at Oscar Wilde.

Perkins: Ol’ butch Oscar.

Blackadder: Yep! Big, bearded, bonking, butch Oscar. The terror of the ladies. 114 illegitimate children, world heavyweight boxing champion and author of the best-selling pamphlet “Why I Like To Do It With Girls.” And Massingbird had him sent down for being a whoopsie.

The revolutuon against the elites is starting as German minister of Justice Heiko Maas has a mini Ceausescu moment as irate civilians chase him to his Merc, shouting “Traitor” He was loudly booed and chased off the stage by the German people. The people repeatedly shouted “Traitor”, “Leftist Rat”, “Get out!”, “We are the People” and “Maas must go!”, eventually getting him to cancel his speech and flee to his armored vehicle escorted by his armed bodyguards

Is that like Charles Darwin?

Just out of interest, Fletch, would you be in favour of a return to “traditional values” where we send the likes of Oscar Wilde to prison – with hard labour – for the ‘crime’ of homosexuality?

From your link:

This began the duality of Anglicanism/Catholicism that plagued Wilde throughout his life.

Duality?! No wonder the poor man was so confused – they are practically synonymous! 😉

What do you think of the English Reformation? A good idea – let me know when it happens.

Hmm, not really. Just read any of his stories and you can see the belief in God there – particularly overt in his short stories like The Selfish Giant, and The Happy Prince.

Re the viruses….

koi herpes virus (Cyprinivirus) belongs to a group of viruses that affect fish

Varicella zoster , the causative agent of chicken pox and shingles belongs to a group of viruses that affect humans, pigs and some other mammals.

Influenza viruses belong to a very different group of viruses from herpes & chicken pox types.
Avian (bird) flu can affect humans…. but not easily….. you have to be in close contact with infected birds.

You might enjoy Eyes Wide Shut?

Eyes Wide Shut is a 1999 erotic drama film based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story), with the story transferred from early 20th century Vienna to 1990s New York. The film was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick. It was his last film, as he died four days after showing his final cut to Warner Bros. studios.[4] The story, set in and around New York City, follows the sexually charged adventures of Dr. Bill Harford, who is shocked when his wife, Alice, reveals that she had contemplated an affair a year earlier. He embarks on a night-long adventure, during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an unnamed secret society.

Actually, on reflection, Starboard might have enjoyed it as his in-flight entertainment.

Yes Nosty.

Stanley Kubrick died, some say mysteriously, four days after screening his final cut of the movie Eyes Wide Shut – it was seriously and suspiciously re-cut after his death.

Isn’t that spooky.

Am I a sheeple, or am I better than that?

The sheeple decide.

Every day.

On that and a million other issues.

And how can a sheeple possibly decide if this is the very first time they heard the opposite side of an issue they thought they’ve always known about, their whole lives.

For example.

Tiny example.

Not now Reid I am having way to much fun reading the trump fellatioing on the other thread .
It is amazing when the wonks contradict each other yet totally agree that the don is the best thing since Colon Crag.

Eyes Wide Shut has a rating of 7.3 on IMDB. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120663/

Other films of note by Kubrick –
Lolita: 7.7
2001: A Space Odyssey: 8.3
A Clockwork Orange: 8.4

Synopsis:
A New York City doctor, who is married to an art curator, pushes himself on a harrowing and dangerous night-long odyssey of sexual and moral discovery after his wife admits that she once almost cheated on him.

And yes the movie is as boring as it sounds. 3 fucking hours of Cruise moralising

You’re totally off the wall Reid

No I’m totally grounded nasska. That’s what you can’t seem to get, those of you who get your only grounding from the world, covet its poison and spend your lives seeking it.

But the truth is not in this world, it’s not of this world, but it is part of this world.

And if you don’t understand that, look up the concept of transcendence, where something is part of and apart of something at one and the same time, for that is what explains what we see, what happens and what is going to happen, like nothing else.

If you’re interested of course. Most people don’t give a shit and are happy to live, have kids, die and get a grave that rots away without ever having understood the least little thing about anything at all. And the people who rule over us, just love that and do their best to encourage us to do that in every possible way, 24/7/365.

Lest we awake.

Don’t cut a deal with the Sardines Nasska, too far up in the snowline to even consider, in any case, best left up there, bringing them down would have the some stench as inside the hovel ole chap..?

It must be pretty bad at Chez Bright stigie. There can’t be a whole lot of washing or flushing going on with the water screwed down to a litre per minute. I wonder if I should siphon a couple of 20 litre containers out of a trough & send them up to Kingsland.

After all, antiperspirants can only do so much! 🙂

An amazing Kiwi I have been friends with, I interviewed him live on radio a lifetime ago – he wrote the next little ditty you will all know it.

And here he is playing something original he played live for me in the studio. As well as reading poetry and talking about his life.

Didn’t you see that video Nasska of Penny having her stolen water (that other people pay for) going from 1 litre a minute to 100 litres a minute with the help of a borrowed angle grinder..?

I don’t think it was her connection she was “liberating” in the video stigie. The background was grass rather than concrete.

But I’m waiting with bated breath for her threats to sue Whale to take form. 🙂

I saw Tadpole at Big Day Out sometime ago, along with Tall Dwarfs amongst other acts.

Always though the Mint Chicks was a criminally under-rated Kiwi band – like a subversive Phil Judd on steroids:

I met both Bic and Boh many years ago when they were just teenagers. They were full on into music even then. Though there was nothing “special” about them.

@ Fletch

“Oscar Wilde. He had a long interest in the Christian faith and converted to Catholicism on his death bed.

Is that like Charles Darwin? ”

I’m not sure if you are being serious or ironic here, Kimbo. If the former, then his children denied any conversion and accused the originator of this story, Lady Hope, of lying.

If the latter, then my apologies for my defective irony meter.

Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty.

I’m sure that most here are quite annoyed about poor quality journalism and reporting, especially when it enables myths to become facts. Well, I have bad news for you – it’s always been this way, and I found a great example just recently.

Well if his Wikipedia article is anything to go by then current mainstream sources of information seem to treat him quite fairly.

Ted Cruz on the other hand is definitely the Zodiac Killer. Okay the murders started before he was born but that must have been his dad. (when he wasn’t aiding and abetting Lee Harvey Oswald)

From Stuff:

“Story co-host Duncan Garner made a red-faced apology to viewers on Wednesday night after the show’s segment on nude dining showed a close-up of genitalia.

The 7pm current affairs sent reporter Lachlan Forsyth to cover a stunt where radio station The Edge hosted a night of nude dining at a Hamilton restaurant.

Things went awry when they crossed live to the restaurant and a naked waitress walked in front of the camera, providing viewers with a close-up of her crotch.”

Left Right and Centre

Hamish McKay ? Can’t listen to him. Dreadful ear-melting accent. There’s quite a few of them. Corin Dan, Katie Bradford. Who else ? There’s heaps. Talk entirely through the nose. You can use your fucking voicebox and vocal chords. Alison Mau – she is bad, bad news. Shouty rough sounding peasant. Pain – pain – pain. I struggle to keep that on for any length of time. Cackling witch. And then there’s Pam Corkery . Tim Shadbolt (who I like – and I like his voice it’s so bad it’s good) and Sam Hunt. Then you had David Lange – who sounded like you were listening to someone talking from the other room – booming and muffled. Too much torque instead of talk. Gareth Morgan – like two cats fighting. Well – just as horrible.

I know – voice converter app – everything on the news and radio sounds like Peter Williams or Geoff Bryan.
A lot of kiwi accents out there sound like someone using bagpipes as a torture device.
Fo-wah – fo-wah – fo-wah. We went out for fo-wah hours. Twalve. Wun toe throy fo-wah foiyve / fi-eeve sux seveen eoiyght noiyne teen.

I can talk bagpipe too and probably can’t help it. Just try and do your best with it, eh ? Tone down the nasal twang a bit – even Reid can’t do to vowels what the average kiwi does.

Insulation comments all interesting – heated debate. Mediaworks – I see TV3 and TV4 (yeah I know 4 is being axed) as mostly shit for the braindead. Where’s the quality on 3 or 4 ? It’s all braindead American infomercial grade shit.

Which brings us to The Bachelor. How anyone of any age – even a total fucktard – could watch that complete bollocks I don’t know. No-one is finding true love on some dumbarse reality gameshow played out on TV. So why watch a bunch of 15 minute fame fuckwits ooze insincere slime from every pore and orifice ? The whole thing is just such a cringe-inducing poor taste schlockfest. Why is the weekly report always always always in the most popular section on Stiffed ? What kind of fuckin gimp actually watches that thinking ‘oh – how lovely and romantic, look at these really cool people looking for love on TV – I hope it works out for them’. *slaps forehead, shakes head*.

Here’s a question – how many of these Bachelor programmes did two contestants actually fuck each other, produce offspring and live happily ever after – or anything close to that ? Same as braincells of viewers – count it – ZERO !! That is all – have a very merry whatever the fuck else you’re going to do now – you’re a superstar. Here – would you like a rose you sexy mofo ?
