Amazing. You can spend most of your adult years as a lawyer or politician, then five years later you can mentor business people.

BREAKING: Waikato Regional Authority responsibilities and authorities to be sold to Serco.

Made my go-to salad the other day - cucumber, green beans, jelly bean tomatoes, feta, olives, and beetroot - and was shocked to discover we’re very good friends with someone who won’t eat beetroot. This is surely un-kiwi?

Golf is so weird. Huge swathes of landscape culled and privatised because men are too scared to just ask their friend if they want to go for a walk.

From an article about walking in the New York Times: “Those who regularly walked longer than 15 minutes were 80 percent less likely to die from any cause”. Somehow I don’t think this is accurate…….

Young woman with 2cm-long fingernails on the ferry. She sticks her cellphone to the window, turns on some sort of mirror effect, and spends the forty minute trip perfecting her false eyebrows, makeup and the lie of her hair.

Apparently the emergency signal on the ferry is seven short blasts of the horn, followed by a long blast. Why not really stretch it out and make it ten short and three long? It’s not like you’ll be in a hurry during an emergency.

The Occidental in Vulcan Lane, Auckland was deservedly packed tonight.

National Party announce new policy - first $30,000 of all incomes to be tax free. To be phased in starting in 2180.

newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/20/a... C’mon, they stand for road-building, fishing, and mining company owners who smoke and own numbers of rental properties.

I’m calling bullshit on the Minister’s failure to explain why the police staff filter what his own staff get to see rather than the other way round.

I can’t believe the coalition of clowns would fudge the comparative costs between old ferry deal and new ferry deal just to try to hide their fuckup.

One of the reasons I support vaccines - me front, fourth from left at the Durban Open Air School in South Africa in the 1950s. The school still offers specialised schooling for children with physical impairments. Many of my classmates were victims of "mild" polio.

Maybe we just don’t understand, and the bridge is mainly so Kãinga Ora clients can cross to the other side?

One of the lessons of the whole Epstein email dump is presumably that if you exchange emails with dubious characters you should always copyright your emails. © Garth Biggs 2025

Seriously? Isn't this shit just illegal? What's the parliamentary budget process for? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Larry Summers to Step Back From Public Commitments Over Emails With Epstein www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u... In reality, he’s “deeply ashamed” to have been found out.

Can’t he just plead: “I was only obeying (the FBI’s) order.”

The bloody neighbours have gone out and left John Cage’s 4’33 on full blast again.

My hobby is winning large Lotto draws. I’m not very good at it, but it’s cheaper than golf, and I don’t have to spend hours listening to the right-wing reckons of other golfers.

His whole career he played with a straight bat, so I cant believe he’d do anything naughty just to make money. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

It’s just a matter of time before Trump demands that Luxon pardon McSkimming, isn’t it?

The McSkimming saga should have been stopped at the point where he asked that a specific person be employed and assigned to the same office as him. That's not how public services work. This is so basic, the mind just boggles.

If Statistics keeps reporting huge numbers of people leaving the country, we’ll just have to stop them collecting this data.

Look, the economy must be getting stronger - people are still buying food despite the rampant price increases,

Wow. I used to think that Coster was one of the good guys.

Is the USA, its constitution, and its “democracy” the greatest long-running con job ever perpetrated?

There a real incentive for prominent pedophiles to join the ACT party, isn’t there?

Just calculated that next year it will be 63 years after 1963. Not everybody thinks of that!

Gotta love politicians who fall out with their parties, and try to inflict maximum damage on the way out.

From now on, if you ever eat at a top-notch restaurant, feign a French accent. They’ll fawn over you in the hope that you’re the Michelin man.

Liam Dann: “Is another GFC about to upend NZ’s recovery?” LOL, what recovery?

Dear subscription service, a limited-time “free” trail which requires that I give you my credit card details is just not going to cut it with me, but thanks anyway.

Those green shoots that the government keeps seeing? Don’t they know they should dry them before smoking them?

It’s just a matter of time before Trump grants a pardon to the Andrew (formerly known as Prince), isn’t it?

www.oneroof.co.nz/news/rich-li... How do you noisily buy a house?

I know the old get-fit saying “There’s no gain without pain”, but beyond a certain age it seems there’s just pain without gain.

Not great timing: "Huge Microsoft cloud crash leaves half the world without internet AGAIN". news.microsoft.com/en-nz/2024/1...

Not totally convinced it’s a great idea to sell control of you brands to someone and move down the value chain to become pure commodity sellers.

Trump loves Luxon, Luxon loves Key, Key loves Trump. It’s the eternal triangle.

Putting together a Board to lead a hostile bid to make Auckland Grammar a charter school.

Let’s get real, there’s going to be no reckoning with Trump’s enablers when he leaves office, he’s going to issue pardons on an unimaginable scale.

I can't believe the IDF has resumed their genocide. Who could have predicted that?

“Labour unveils targeted capital gains tax to fund free doctor visits.” FFS Labour, just bring in a straight-forward tax on ALL capital gains. This is as stupid as no GST on fruit and vegetables.

Do we really believe Trump and his supporters are too ethical to try to destroy all the Epstein records that implicate him?

Why King Charles hasn’t yet removed Andrew’s most valued title: prince Mate the whole stupid basis of monarchy is bloodline. You can’t un-prince someone born a prince.

I presume the folks at the Louvre Museum know to check if their jewels have ended up at the British Museum? They are notorious receivers of stolen property.

Chemtrails over Auckland!

I can't believe the IDF has resumed their genocide. Who could have predicted that?
