Reversing all those safe speed zones around schools etc is working out exactly as expected (Not that they mention that fact in the article) These are all on Simeon Brown and his desire to kill more people on the road🤦 #NZPol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...

The RAM raids are back on track….are we still back on track? 🤔 #NZPol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Please read this It's so very true as we think we are prepared, but we are not. Thank you Verity for being honest. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Attempting a rotisserie rolled pork roast in Auckland weather…wish me luck. #WeberKettle #BBQNZ

I don’t really understand why this guy is climbing the Taipei Tower without ropes etc on ’live’* TV. * 10 second delay Bugger that.

So I guess we’ve officially moved on from the 1 on 100 year storms? Northern Coromandel saw 1-in-250-years levels of rain www.tickaroo.com/e/GrrXPpHQIl...

Bunnings could have paused this campaign for a day or two…but decided not to🤷🏼 Ah well, we can dream of summer days again🌧️🌧️🌧️

Wasted five minutes of my life on the Watercare website trying to report a water leak outside our place (on their side of the meter), finally got the link that told me it’s outside the 9-5 hours they work...because faults only occur between 9am-5pm. No wonder there is little trust in CCO’s.

Love it!😂

First day back in the office tomorrow…oh boy, this is going to hurt. Have Tuesday off however…will be my recovery day #Phew

One of these is not like the other... #nzpol

And just like that I’ve deleted my Neighbourly account, wasn’t getting any value from it…and given these privacy breaches, time to reduce my digital footprint (Facebook and Twitter were first to go a long time ago). What’s next🤔

Finally, some 😭⚽️⚽️

First sunset of 2026…long may it continue

Spinning our way towards 2026, with the final cook of 2025. Happy New Year all. Stay safe out there, and have a great night!

Nothing beats spinning up meat over coals or any type of fire! Testing out the new EspetoSol Pitmaster series over hot coals on a Weber Jumbo Joe #BBQLife

He’s getting closer #Santa2025 At an impressive 1008 knots, it won’t be long

Looking at my Inbox, you’d think we skipped Christmas Day and advanced straight to Boxing Day (Sales).

How it started, how it ended. Smoked Salmon vacuumed packed and ready to go for Christmas lunch. Cured with Salt, then flavoured with Maple Syrup, Manuka Honey, Onion/Garlic salt, fresh ground pepper and basil. #SmokingLife

And there we have it, first Boxing Day Sale email award goes to PBTech! I guess I should brace myself for the deluge to follow!

This year on Bluesky I wrote 125 posts and 3,898 replies. I received 7,256 likes, whereas 62 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "not" and 😂! (Sounds about right, 2025 has been a year! Roll on 2026) www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

Colour me surprised (pun very much intended) www.nzherald.co.nz/business/eco...

Of course they are Genesis, be good if you invested some of that profit back into the network to help keep prices down eh? Useless. #NZPol

Boomers on smartphones holding them up to their ears while on speakerphone…on the bus. Yeah, don’t do that.

Has anyone asked Luxo if he’s aware of the fire in Tongariro National Park…he might get to put those gumboots on again this week (if he doesn’t skip the country in light of an impending disaster) #NZPol

It seems common sense and FENZ cannot be used in the same sentence. This is just nuts. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

PSA to anyone in NZ, turn your wake up alarm off now.

In today’s NZ Herald #megastrike

If ‘Survive till 2025’ was the CoC catch cry for this year, what have they got cooked up for 2026? I say vote in 2026 like your life depends on it! (It doesn’t rhyme but it works for me)

Just spotted Prime Mince in the Woolworths for $30.40 per Kilo, over $30 a Kg for mince…someone is having a laugh. Used to pay that for decent steak not so long ago. So much for that laser focus on the cost of living #NZPol

$6M seems like a pretty cheap deal for the NZ Govt to dump a second hand survey ship within their sovereign territory. Would cost more to dispose of in the more traditional way🤔

Eric Smidt‘s super yacht berthed down in Wynyard Quarter yesterday, not a bad looking boat! www.superyachtfan.com/yacht/infini...

Make a band singular. Bro

www.1news.co.nz/2025/08/30/p... "It's probably the strangest thing I've pulled up from 400 metres. How did it stay in the net is what I'd like to know? We've got mesh it could fall through, that's what amazes me." (they are telling on themselves here…bottom trawling, small object stay in the nets)

As seen today down in Wynyard Quarter. They aren’t wrong about the weather (or Trumpy)

This is hilarious, Bluesky #nzpol

So let me get this straight. Waka Kotahi can close lanes on the Harbour Bridge for six hours while Spark NZ film a commercial, but they refuse to close on lane for a Walking and Biking lane trial? I wonder why that is🤔 (are they afraid it will be successful?) www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607... #NZPol

I think I can answer this one without reading it. The global price of butter is dropping, what does it mean for us? Nothing, we will continue to be price gauged by the supermarkets. Remember when they were culling hens, and eggs were $1 each…they still are $1 each😡 www.stuff.co.nz/money/360782...

What a waste, PM and VIPs travel on the first passenger train running through the City Rail Loop…it will be the first, and last time any of them ride that train. PM only agreed to it as there were, ‘A lot less smelly armpits here…’ (aka, bottom feeders) www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...

Timothy Jago, the ex-ACT Party President is the gift that keeps on giving. While he’s trying to clear his name…fresh allegations have surfaced. Colour me surprised! #NZPol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

I think this means he’ll keep all the Gold medals and just give replicas to the athletes who earn them.

It amazes me how often the reaction to hitting “Tim Tams” and other cycleway separators is “those shouldn’t be there” rather than “there are a lot of bad drivers who can’t drive in a straight line and who need to slow down”

Oh, accidentally sat on the button again?

I know I should have been expecting that…gets me every time. Flash backs to March 2020. 👎🏻

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as stupid a headline as this one, I’ve never met a farmer who has had this concern…most farm kids are riding motorbikes before they hit 10. Just more plain old lies from ACT. #NZPol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Maybe just sell it cheaper locally chaps. #NZPol www.rnz.co.nz/news/country...

Cracker day in Tāmaki Makaurau, specifically Lake Pupuke…after a week plus of rain, we’ll take it.

Prime Video starting to include ads from 26 August, unless I pay and additional $2.99. No need to do anything they say, well there is something I need to do. Cancel my subscription I guess. Both Prime and Disney have gone to the dogs of late anyway. We watch most stuff on TVNZ On Demand.
