Why would someone who hates the All Blacks watch the All Blacks?

Very odd.

“Sounds like a perfect undercover job for our Nasska!”

That would be a two man job. I could look disaprovingly at the patrons and every now and then shout “sinners!”

And if I could do that near to where the busty girls are, that would be a sacrifice I am willing to make. 🙂

Sounds like as good a reason to iron the overalls, polish my boots & book a plane ticket to NYC as I have heard in a long time Nostra.

….”To assess whether you’re the right fit he and his team analyse your social media feed and comb through your friends list – oh, and you have to be hot, naturally.”…..

This is where it could get a bit tricky. I’ve got the “hotness” factor covered & the friends list contains some of the best vets & drench salesmen in NZ but this social media feed bit has got me stumped.

Does Kiwiblog count? 🙂

Do people not remember how John Conner suffered for us to save us from the machines?

Nasska:

… this social media feed bit has got me stumped …

If you speak to Redbaiter nicely, he may set you up with a Twitter account, which will give you impeccable social media credentials.

A word of warning though. You’ll need to visit TrueblueNZ, and Redbaiter has previously described TrueblueNZ as “a bit too cerebral for the kind of clapped out hippy dropkicks, hillbilly progs and urban liberals who proliferate [on Kiwiblog]”. So you’ll need to tread carefully. And, of course, you’ll need to take insults like “culturally isolated backwoods hillbilly who judges every other family by the desperate degenerate behaviour of his own” on the chin.

But, applying the no-risk no-reward principle, the lure of an elite NY sex club must surely be worth it!

Read the pages in those links Nostra. Looking back we’d have to admit there were some pretty hilarious exchanges going on at the time.

Poor Baity ended up totally progged. 🙂

re The Warriors vs The Sharks; by far the finest effort from the Warriors this season despite an extra time field goal.

Best Cronulla side I’ve ever seen.

Left Right and Centre

Anyone know the percentage of foreign born and children of those voters who voted to Brexit ?

The Porirua Report for Nazzy . . . this one’s a farkin beauty. I’ve finished running event – just two of us left now talking in car park. Right in front of us old Honda – yeah – it’s parked on the grass. And then this lowlife starts spinning wheels pedal to the floor on grass with car sliding slowly forwards and side to side – churning it all up. Both tyres right side ripped to ribbons and falling off rims – what the damn hell ? In the morning – right in front of two grown men – let’s ride the grass wheels spinning right out. Who knows.

Fuck – we watched this scum – brown fella – and then high-tailed it. Wasn’t the only one who called it in later. Cops got him. Charming locals. Car must’ve been undriveable – don’t think it could leave. Stolen ?

Google news is usually my first port of call for information these days now that I no longer watch TV or get a newspaper. But I’m finding it more and more frustrating. The selection of stories in the ‘NZ edition’ is simply awful.

(rant begins)

The internet allows us instant access to the very best newspapers from around the English speaking world, none of which unfortunately are based in NZ. However the google news NZ edition is dominated by lightweight pieces from second rate NZ news rags. There is not nearly enough international coverage, and what little there is often consists of those same lightweight NZ sources offering inane and often ill informed commentary on what is going on elsewhere.

If it is a story about Trump I’d like to read about it directly from US sources. If it is a story about Brexit I’d like to read UK news stories about it so I can get a sense of what is really going on over there. I don’t want to read an opinion piece on those subjects written by a NZ reporter interviewing his/her keyboard who probably knows no more about the subject than I do.

And another thing. Why are the science links on the NZ edition almost exclusively about climate change? There is hardly anything about engineering or the space program or biology or chemistry or physics or indeed any hard science. You can find plenty about those subjects in the US edition, but there is almost nothing in the NZ edition. It is like they think climate science is the only kind of science NZers have any interest in. And a lot of that stuff isn’t even science. For example what is a story speculating about the possible impact of Brexit on carbon emission targets doing in the science section? Really!

To get a decent sense of what is going on in the world and to get any decent information about science in my news feed I have to read the US and UK editions. They tend to give US and UK centric views of the world, so I sometimes also browse other editions to try to counter that. But why does google think we want ALL our news to be geographically filtered. I can understand it maybe for local stories, but they do it for absolutely everything! They do it for international stories!! They do it for SCIENCE!!! If anyone from Google is reading this, how about a global english language edition for people like me who don’t want their news to be always geographically slanted. Yes it is very clever that you guys know where we all are and can give us specially tailored news. But I really wish you wouldn’t.

(end of rant)
