    I was in London earlier this month and hailed one of them black cabs. I said to the driver “Waterloo please” He asked “What, the station”?
    “Well, I’m a bit fucking late for the battle” I replied

and if you want serious reading (and yes I know it will get the goat shagger of his couch), try having a look at this commentary.

The Dow could have delivered more Christmas Cheer. Down 650+ points. Worst Christmas trading ever and worst week in a very long period. Will 2019 see the beginning of some big changes in the world order?

  Must be the military industrial complex throwing a tantrum as Trump stops throwing trillions of tax payer dollars and countless lives at pointless wars.
  
  He has proven himself a great and noble statesman, who has spread peace from a position of strength. Unlike the brutal and ignorant Obama.

  If you look at the Dow chart, you will see a Mt. Fuji-like profile.
  
  The Dow had been steadily ramping up each year since 2009, so a correction was bound to come.
  I’d say that around 15,000 would be a saner level, but what do I know…
  
  Bear in mind (no pun intended) that the Dow is only composed of 30 stocks.

  The DOW is only 30 shares. Wait to you see what the needed correction brings and it has nothing to do with Trump. Hilliary would be facing this too along withe rest of the world.
  
  The COL is going to love 2019. They have no idea of what is in store and believe they are rulers of NZ.

      Mnuchin’s phone check on banks liquidity is largely irrelevant. The market is operating as a casino. Mnuchin may affect timing briefly but not the neccessity for the players with their quants to cover positions or forfeit. Some more months or years to run and much more carnage. Grant’s advisors are going to be puzzling over what to say.

    Agreed Kev. Kiwis will yearn for the return of the Key/English management team, their intimate understanding of the world economy and their contacts in the major financial markets. Robertson’s diversionary ‘Wellbeing Budget’ will count for nothing if he is incapable of getting the basics sorted.

      I am sensing a doozy in the making. Savings are implicit in total economic activity. The notion that those foregoing using their resources so that someone else can take advantage flies in the face of common sense. Only a greedy opportunist would take those saving, leverage and speculate with them in high frequency “trading”. The freely created money from the central banks have blown up asset prices too. Double the money supply overnight: double the prices. The correction will mean losses through the whole economy.

    Yeah, but the left won’t thank you for pointing it out.
    
    Fact is there are sound evolutionary reasons for people being tribal and preferring their own race, culture etc. The very same reasons we love our own kids so much. It is about protecting OUR genes.
    
    We can’t socially engineer away our true base nature. What we can do is put a few simple rules in place that moderate it and allow civil society.

        There they were for generations squashed between their Colonial Masters, but somehow they retained their language, their distinct writing script, their distinct cuisine and they replanted their forests after the Japanese stripped the country bare.

  Believe it or not – Islam actually improved things for women in many primitive tribal societies. It gave them a few rights and rules around treatment of them. Like your example, before that you could beat them however you wished.
  
  Most of the worst aspects of Islam are actually a reflection of the prevailing cultural attitudes of the people who adopted it. This is not unique to muslims either.

    It seems to me that computers don’t use a normal language so much as we use a language to control them, like the traditional commands for driving a draught horse team – commands brought over by settlers from Britain.
    
    “Language” to me includes the notion of being two-way. I suppose that. in a loose sort of a way, draught-horse commands can be called a language, but if so it’s in even more danger of becoming extinct than Maori is. Perhaps we should teach it in schools.
    
    The internet, notably Youtube and Skype, are revolutionising human-language learning. Enthusiasts aren’t stopping a learning one or two new languages.
    
    Part of the fun in learning a new language is learning about new countries. Maori language isn’t exotic to most New Zealanders, and there’s bugger all written literature in it compared with in Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, German, Hindi.
    
    Would there be 100 books published in Maori a year? Compare this with nearly half a million new and revised titles in English in Britain and United States, more than 100,000 each in Japan and Russia, and in NZ (overwhelmingly in English) about 3,600.
    
    If you’re having a quiet Christmas this discussion of the difference between human and computer languages may be interesting:

    The Sceptics’ article is quite correct, for the following reasons:
    Science, as it is internationally understood, and has been for over two hundred years, is based on the ‘hypothetico-deductive’ model. In brief, this is it:
    A person gets an idea or makes a proposition (the hypothesis); this is then tested by experiment, which must be empirical (observable, replicable, and preferably measurable), or by rigorous logic (as in the case of, say, theoretical physics).
    The hypothesis is thereby supported (but it can never be shown to be true beyond doubt) or found to be false (‘refuted’, in Popper’s terms). If the latter is the case, then an alternative hypothesis is created. If the former, then the hypothesis is refined.
    Thus, science inches forward.
    As I understand it, Maori ‘science’ fails to meet these stringent criteria. Yes, it does rely on observation and simple experimentation (“Does the berry poison people or not?”) but it lacks any underlying theoretical paradigm. It also incorporates elements of spirituality (or superstition, as one may prefer) which, by definition, cannot be tested because they are a matter of belief, not reason or empiricism.
    So, whatever it is, this practice of Maori is not science.
    I suspect that those who promulgate this falsehood are likely to be either ignorant of the philosophy of science, or politically motivated – or both, of course.
    The day that Maori ‘science’ adopts the hypothetico-deductive model is the day that it ceases to be ‘Maori science’ and simply joins the mainstream.

If you saw One News yesterday, they had an example of adverts designed to make you part with your money this christmas. One was the Heathrow Bears, which looks like it has been running on UK tv for several Christmases already. Very cute, and as an IT bod, I like the way the video call behaves (lag on startup and juddering during movement). And the Mrs likes teddy bears. But you do have to watch for the PC reprogramming (note the skin colour of the humans at the end).

Jacksie, have you wished Jesus a happy birthday yet and did you say sorry?

“I and the Father are one.” 31The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God,” (John 10:30-33)

  We tried the Schweppes tonic while over there. It comes in 1 litre bottles (ours 1.5 litres) and is bloody watery shit, without the fizz of the local stuff. One litre is not enough for a couple of decent G&Ts.

GROPERS
No. 63: Santa Claus

A 62-year-old man with a bushy white beard who played Santa Claus at a Massachusetts mall has been charged with groping a teenager playing an elf and barred from the shopping center.

The pair worked at a Santa photo booth at Hanover Mall in Hanover.

The incident is said to have occurred Saturday afternoon when Herbert Jones, while sitting in his Santa chair, allegedly “reached up and pinched” the buttocks of the 18-year-old woman, according to a police report, The Boston Herald reports.

The woman also told officers that the 275-pound mall Santa had told her in the past: “I wish you were a few years older and I was younger.”

Jones pleaded not guilty Monday in Hingham District Court to indecent assault and battery. A judge ordered him to stay away from the shopping center and barred him from playing Santa anywhere until the case is resolved.

Jones denied touching the woman to police and mall management. He told officers that he was sitting on his Santa perch when the woman walked by and brushed against his hand, the newspaper reports. Jones said he pulled away in an attempt to avoid contact. …

NZ Herald article: Hundreds of people from ‘all walks of life’ enjoy City Mission Christmas lunch

Let’s start with the Kiwiblog archive:

1. Mikenmild on 25 December 2017:

It’s a Kiwiblog tradition – dissing city mission meals.

2. Holysheet in response to MIkenmild:

It’s not that we diss the meals. It’s more like we know most of these lowlife are just taking advantage of the good nature of others. Bludgers are synonomus with the left.

3. RF on 20 November 2017:

I know a couple who take advantage of the Auckland City Mission Xmas nosh up. They are well off and could afford to prepare their own dinner but as it’s free food they take advantage of it. There have been reports of tour bus passengers attending and paying the tour guide for the privilege of a good Xmas dinner.

And now to the article:

Douglas Hadfield and Moana Ryer were positioned in the middle of the crowd enjoying the lively scenes surrounding them. “We live in a lodge just the two of us and we decided to get out and enjoy the Christmas spirit. Our social worker gave us the tickets so we thought why not,” Hadfield said.

Why not indeed!

For Nishanthi Sengundar, the festive day had double meaning – it was her 29th birthday. “Being here with all these people is so special, I couldn’t ask for anything more.” Attending the event was a surprise gifted to her by her husband Sundar. The couple were joined by their children and family friends.

So a “surprise” gift for the wife, but one that the children and family friends got to enjoy too!

  Next year I might ‘surprise’ my wife with tickets to the City Mission lunch- Nothing says ‘I Love You’ quite like sitting in a room with a couple of hundred deros and bludgers!
  An added bonus would be the stench of urine and Cannabis from one of the homeless people seated at your table…
  *The best part is most of them would have spent a couple of hundred on piss and pokies this week already.

Gather round pissheads…..the wowsers are at it again.

…..”A central city liquor store considered one of the most high-risk in Wellington has had it’s opening hours slashed by more than four hours a day.”……

…..”opposition to the store’s license, made by the medical officer of health, New Zealand Police and a Wellington City Council licensing inspector”…..

You’ll be reduced to straining meths through bread rolls if this carries on! 🙂

      St Lukes was closed today. Did you go to the empty carpark and sit in the car wanking yourself over the goat calendar we sent you via the St Albans mailbox? Or did you go to the City Mission Christmas lunch and perve over underaged girls instead? Both equally likely options in your case.

I like marshmallow balls as well, but powdered in icing sugar.

‘Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern hopes baby Neve will one day take on her Christmas tradition making marshmallow balls while National Party leader Simon Bridges’ neighbours might want to put noise control on their speed dial – he’s hoping for an electronic drum kit from Santa’.
