I’ll say no more then Reid. I can put up with a tad of chafing as long as no buggering occurs! 🙂

do you find that the Dark Steel suit chafes…. or am I not applying enough lanolin? ?

I have no idea. Perhaps you should ask Starboard.

I’m not much of a Trump fan

So you changed your position from a few months back? Yes I remember it because I was surprised.

Wiseowl says

This is a classic example of the appalling Matrimonial Property Act that Clark and co introduced and is now seeing many guys crucified when the change of life reeks havoc because the legislation is stacked in favour of the female.

Clark was first elected in 1981. The MPA was passed 5 years earlier.

I say, old chap, do you know why there still isn’t a published judgment for a certain matter that was heard last month?

In the decision, Venning said: “Ms Bright, like other ratepayers, has an obligation to pay the rates that have been validly assessed as payable by her. Her refusal to do so simply increases the administration costs of the council.”
…
Bright has confirmed to Newstalk ZB she will appeal the case in the Court of Appeal and may even take the case to the Supreme Court.

I’d like to read the full judgment but it’s not available at NZLII or Judicial Decisions Online.

You ask at 8.13 about Clinton’s medical issues. Some else linked this video the other day –it is worth a watch.

Nostradamus.

I have been looking out for it. It surprises me that there has been no sign. After all, he did have a practice run in March and I would have thought that he would have had most of the text of the judgment at his fingertips. I guess there is always a chance that the decision has flown under the radar. Is it possible, do you think, that the court is still waiting for the plaintiff to appear?

Did you edit your text? It looks a little different to the text that I read initially.
In my reply,I was referring to the defamation proceedings.

Venning J’s decision is available. I will try and get a link for you.

Nookin:

The fact that the media report was apparently able to quote from “the decision” suggests that it’s available. In any event, from Auckland Council’s perspective, they won the appeal and so they’re entitled to the benefit of the District Court judgment (confirming the amount of outstanding rates and penalties as at 30 June 2015 – so a further proceeding will be required for the rest).

Edit: No, I didn’t change the substance of my previous comment, other than to add the quote from the article. So, just to clarify, I’m focusing on Venning J’s judgment.

Why am I starting to see Twitter handles with brackets like ((This))?

[–]jayman419 27 points 2 months ago

It’s a response to an alt-right thing. Since most search engines filter out (()) anyway, they felt it was a say way to speak among themselves about who to watch and who to target.

After arrogantly explaining it to one of their targets, several Jewish writers changed their handles to raise awareness about it, and asked others to do the same.

[–]fuzzylogic22[S] 11 points 2 months ago

Thanks. Weird place, that internet.

[–]adrianmalacodahas ended his loop 5 points 2 months ago*

I remember way back in the day, putting brackets/parentheses around someone’s name symbolized giving them a hug. The more parentheses/brackets, the bigger the hug. I was confused as to why these Nazis were going around hugging people.

Yep, I was wondering why EAD was hugging various words, and asked him about it a little while back. Certainly beats Johnboy humping the blog. But in case anyone is wondering, hugging words that you don’t really agree with is a Nazi thing.

@ Nosty 8.49pm,

the “WTF” part is of course “What The Fc*k”.

Just a piss take and an observation on just what a dystopian world we’re being marched into.

I’m in my 30’s and even I remember a time when people were either a man or woman, straight or gay – and in reality everyone still is. It’s the Elites attempt to normalise freakshows and believe that such things are actually desirable.

I keep thinking of Huxleys quote as I wonder if it is me, or Society as a whole that has lost the plot!

“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.” They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted” – Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

Nostradamus:

Venning’s judgment is available on Briefcase but, for some reason, is not available on Judicial Decisions Online or on the Legal Information Institute site.

During the course of the hearing, she sought leave to produce additional evidence. One was a submission that she made to a select committee and the other was evidence of her involvement in the World Justice Rule of Law survey. The court, far from cowering from the formidable weight of such forcible submissions, observed that neither point had anything to do with the price of fish.

Another of her arguments was that the council had not withdrawn its offer of a rates postponement and so the matter should not have gone to court. Venning J noted that she had not actually completed an application for a postponement but had produced a partially completed application and would present it once Council capitulated in toto.

I have not seen confirmation that she has appealed. I wonder how she will persuade the Court Of Appeal that the following finding is incorrect:

[14] To the extent Ms Bright considers that the Public Records Act has anything to
do with this appeal, she is simply wrong

On a persuasiveness scale of 1-10, She came very close to minus 15. In cricketing terms, she did not unduly trouble the scorers.

Well, it looks like my down-tickers need the hugging explained. From one of the links in my previous comment:

“The inner parenthesis represent the Jews’ subversion of the home [and] destruction of the family through mass-media degeneracy. The next [parenthesis] represents the destruction of the nation through mass immigration, and the outer [parenthesis] represents international Jewry and world Zionism.”

Here’s one of EAD’s comments, to see the parenthesis in action:

I mean, the (((nation-wreckers))) had almost completed The Long March Through The Institutions, with the nuclear family, Christian churches, the indoctrination education establishment, traditional art, media, and the legal and political systems all being thoroughly subverted. All while the sheeple grazed in their meadow obvious to the truck that was pulling up to take them to the slaughterhouse.

…

Perhaps these (((Globalists))) know something huge (Economic Collapse) is around the corner …

Thanks for that summary. I can almost imagine Venning J chuckling to himself when he wrote the judgment.

One was a submission that she made to a select committee and the other was evidence of her involvement in the World Justice Rule of Law survey

She’s still banging on about that World Justice Rule of Law survey? Seriously, after I looked into that survey and posted my research here, I’m amazed that anyone, let alone Penny, thinks it’s a document worth readnig.

Nasska, in his usual way, summed it up brilliantly: “Were there ever an ego so great or a delusion so fervent?”

And when in life we encounter such creatures, what is the kind thing to do?

Thing about her is she has made a bigger impact in more people’s thought processes than any of us have, including DPF himself.

Simple as that.

No of course I don’t have surveys, but just think about it.

And is that success, or is talking to the wind, as we all do?

Hope that’s not depressing. think happy thoughts!

Kriss,

I never would have picked you as a defender of the hug profaners. And I call it defending because you are doing it via distraction. In other words, don’t look at what the parenthesis mean – look over there instead.

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Lucia. It’s a humanitarian move just like the South African trade emargoes were in the apartheid days and I assume you approved of those or would if they were needed again in your time?

I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it, I thought everyone who cares about protecting innocents from unjust persecution in the world would be well versed.

Posted this on the latest Huff ‘n’ Puff Trump piece but was especially self-enamoured of my own wittiness so I’ve pasted it here:

Hello from New Zealand and thanks for the show. With this particular contestant perhaps we should learn to reserve our indignation….or maybe the fourth estate people can do something about him, I don’t know.

Why are you thanking Trump? Blithering idiot he may be but surely you need to look at the way the the GOP has gone out of its way to destroy its credibility over the last 8 years and the electorate, displaying traits ranging from outrage to stupefaction, who put the twat there?

I get the feeling that if Scratchy the Clown had been a candidate he would have been a shoe-in.

The Americans have exactly what they deserve –two untrustworthy and unlikeable candidates equally unfit for the job and as apealing as the water in the olympic diving pool. Like one of the competitors said, it smells like a bad fart.
