Geese, the Heated Rivalry marketing machine is working at 1000%.

Is it too late to bring back Buck?

I am not seeking, and won’t accept nomination as either NZ Rugby CEO or All Black Coach.

The positive view of this is that it frees him up to compete with Raygun at the next Olympic break dancing competition. www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/rugby/...

So it turns out that the much vaunted Constitution of he United States of America isn’t actually fit for purpose?

The people of the world have voted Donald Trump their inaugural Piece (of Shit) Prize. Congratulations Donald.

Bloody hell, it’s hot enough to boil a monkey’s bum.

Not sure he meant morality (he has none), or mortality (which is inevitable).

Lots of on-line chatter about a future with three spheres of influence- Us, China, Russia. I think that ignores both the EU’s strengths, and Russia’s profound weaknesses.

My contempt for the man holds no bounds.

Calling all Americans who believe that they need guns in order to easily rebel against the government in the case that it gets taken over by authoritarian dictators: Your time has come.

LOL, I bet at least one honours award goes to a completely imaginary person www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Headlines in the NZ Herald: What the fall of Maduro will do to house prices.

Message to people making posts about how Trump's latest thing is against some law, rule or precedent: He doesn't care, and no one with any real influence will do anything to stop him.

It's just a matter of time before this government promises New Zealand feet on the ground to support the US attack on Venezuela, isn't it?

Folks, Waiheke is full. If you have to leave Auckland, go to Omaha or Pauanui.

I have every sympathy with the people of Iran who want to throw out a theocracy, but replacing it with a monarchy seems sub-optimal.

Anyone know how the "Digital Nomad" visa allowing non-residents to work in New Zealand for up to nine months, given they work entirely remotely for a non-New Zealand company is going? Government made a big fuss of it late January 2025.

With all the anti-Muslim sentiment erupting after the Bondi Massacre, I looked up Australia's mass killing record. Muslims don't feature very often at all as perpetrators. This noise is just racism.

“Kairakau families brace for Christmas under level 4 water restrictions.” But at least they don’t have to put up with Māori input to the governance of Three Waters.

Dear USA, the rest of the world used to respect you. Now they treat you with the caution they offer a rabid dog.

"Leader" complains about his followers: www.thepress.co.nz/politics/360...

Oh, yes, the Ukrainians should absolutely rely on guarantees from the USA. Yeah, right.

Classic new managers playbook: 1. Blame your predecessor 2. Reorganise…… “Ministers announce a new ministry merger”

Heartwarming story: Family’s much loved cat goes missing in Boston, found three months later living on Washington man’s head.

Oh, well played Auckland Transport, well played. This information board is placed exactly where it obscures the view of approaching buses if you’re seated on the bus stop bench. Well played indeed!

“Why is Westpac lifting interest rates?” Because it can Saved you a click.

Does the Taxpayers “Union” really think traveling back and forth for work is a fun perk? “Reserve Bank defends $850k Wellington to Auckland staff travel spend.”

If kids were being harassed in a park would we ban kids from the park, or arrest the harassers? Now, if social media is unsafe for kids, why don’t we sort out the social media platforms?

On hold on a bank’s call line. I think they purposely understaff to the point that I start thinking it’d be quicker to take a bus and ferry ride and walk up Queen Street to an actual branch than to talk to someone on the phone.

I called it 14 years ago.

If you set aside $25,000 a day every day from the day you are born to the day you die, you still won’t have a billion dollars.

I suspect the only thing saving us from Trump’s gang becoming supervillains is that they are generally not very intelligent.

“Councils expected to foot a near $48 billion bill for Local Water Done Well” Bring back Three Waters!

People born before 1945 and still alive have seen the peak and collapse of the USA's world leadership in their lifetimes. That was pretty short as empires go.

Andrea Vance labels Bishop and Willis as “liberals”. Not by any definition I can think of.

The idea that Luxon can politically outmaneuver someone must surely put them in the “strictly amateur“ category. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Given his history as a tobacco lobbyist, the idea that Chris Bishop can be an MP, let alone a potential leader of the National Party just shows the moral bankruptcy of that party.

I don’t read his opinions, but Damien Grant seems to be against the Supreme Court ruling on Uber drivers. So I guess the court got that right.
