As you get to know me, you’ll wonder why I’m not.

I wandered out a bit earlier and thought gees its a bit cool. 12 degrees the phone said. going to 25.
It is the kinda of days we usually get in late autumn when the stags are roaring. cool in the morning with nice crisp days. Thats about april or easter time.
Doesn’t bode well for a warm winter. Might be a freezer.
Foggy and 5⁰ here , but when the sun does come out its only a day between a cut paddock being silage or hay in janurary .
According to Ed’s thermometer, its 7.8 degrees in the metropolis of Hamilton. Probably 4 or 5 in Cambridge, Brrr.
^ Does not really matter what the winter turns out to be.
Or if the system spikes electricity prices, or even if it is available, or not.
Get plenty of fire wood, coal or lignite in.
It is just part of the same concept, “Drill baby drill”.
No intention to suffer either way, as a warm house, makes one feel like a millionaire.
“Put another log on the fire, Baby”.
Do not suffer,
Life is to be lived, & parts of it to be enjoyed.
DID YOU KNOW
A small amount of alcohol placed on a scorpion will make it go crazy and sting itself to death!
1)Birds don’t urinate.
2)Horses and cows sleep while standing up.
3)The bat is the only mammal that can fly. The leg bones of a bat are so thin that no bat can walk.
4) Even when a snake has its eyes closed, it can still see through its eyelids.
5) Despite the white, fluffy appearance of the Polar Bear’s fur, it actually has black skin.
6) The average housefly only lives for 2 or 3 weeks.
7) For every human in the world there are one million ants.
9) Alligators and sharks can live up to 100 years.
10) A honeybee has two stomachs- one for honey, one for food.
11) Elephants weigh less than the tongue of a blue whale. The heart of a blue whale is the size of a car.
12) Blue whales are the largest creature to ever roam the Earth.
13) A cockroach can survive for about a week without its head before dying of starvation.
14) When a dolphin is sick or injured, its cries of distress summon immediate aid from other dolphins, which try to support it to the surface so that it can breathe.
15) A snail can sleep for 3 years.
16) The fastest bird, the spine-tailed swift, can fly as fast as 106mph. (Peregrine falcon is actually 390km/hr or 108mph)
17) A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
18)The leech has 32 brains.
19) The average outdoor-only cat has a lifespan of about three years. Indoor-only cats can live for sixteen years and longer.
20) Sharks are the only animals that never get sick. They are immune to every type of disease including cancer.
21) A mosquito’s proboscis has 47 sharp edges on its tip to help it cut through skin and even protective layers of clothing.
22) The human brain has memory space of over 2.5 Million Petabytes which is 2,500,500 Gigabytes.
Just for howtis.
Well, that amused all the small minds for the day.
2)Horses and cows sleep while standing up.
Some MPs sleep while at work in the debating chamber.
16) The fastest bird, the spine-tailed swift, can fly as fast as 106mph. (Peregrine falcon is actually 390km/hr or 108mph)
That did not make sense. 390km/hr (confirmed) is 243 mph. So the fasted bird is not the swift, but the Falcon, unless you think a Falcon is not a bird.
The swift is the fastest bird in horizontal flight.
The Peregrine falcon is the fasted bird in vertical downwards flight.
And that matters to smaller birds that are prey of the falcon, including swifts.
12) Blue whales are the largest creature to ever roam the Earth.
Do you have any data that confirms that Blue Whales at one stage had legs or feet?
13) A cockroach can survive for about a week without its head before dying of starvation.
Some Labour, Green, or TPM MPs can last years without a brain. And can frequently lose their head in the debating chamber.
22) The human brain has memory space of over 2.5 Million Petabytes which is 2,500,500 Gigabytes.
All that storage space, and Hipkins can’t even remember what a woman is.
My understanding is that the fastest bird is the White Throated Needletail.
I can guarantee there is at least one shark out there, not feeling too well and wondering if it has a brain tumour because it has heard sharks are not ever supposed to get ill.
cows can sleep standing but rarely do, 99% of time the sit/lie to sleep.
the cow to produce 200k glasses of milk is either small glasses, a freak high producer or about 10yrs old… not that many cows get that old, usually culled at 6-8yrs when they miss a season getting in calf.
dont believe everything you read on facefuck old chap.

Austria Handed Chilling WARNING
“EU Threatens Austria Over Budget as Right-Wing Party Set To Take Power” European Conservative:
After 40 years of drinking too much draught Guinness and eating too many Tayto crisps while propping up the mantelpiece in O’Reilly’s pub every Saturday night, Murphy finally succumbed to a combination of obesity-related diseases and cirrhosis of the liver, and died.
His wife had his body cremated. She placed his ashes in an ornate glass jar, and got O’Reilly’s permission to leave the jar on the mantelpiece in his pub, saying: “It would please Murphy to know his buddies can still see him and talk to him while they’re drinking to his health in the next world”.
The patrons who frequented the pub through the week weren’t aware of the true nature of the jar containing ash; mistaking it for an elaborate ashtray, they continually flicked their cigarette ash into it.
After about two months of this, one Saturday night Sean happened to glance at the jar. His eyes grew as big as saucers as he exclaimed: “Begorrah, would you look at that! These eight weeks Murphy’s been dead and he’s still putting on weight!”
A bit of history. Winston Peters’ speech to Parliament in 2005 when he introduced the “Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi –deletion Bill ”
https://breakingviewsnz.blogspot.com/2025/01/winston-peters-principles-of-treaty-of.html#more
I think this is why he is pissed off with Seymour and his Bill. Winston has tried for years to get rid of the so called ‘principles ‘ with no support ,especially from National who have allowed this bs to carry on for years.
It is the only way to solve it rather than trying to define something that doesn’t exist.
He might get another go, wiseowl. If Luxon stops Seymour’s bill then under the agreement between National and NZF , NZF can introduce their own bill (about the same as Winston’s 2005 bill) and Luxon has not said anything about not supporting it past the first reading. But Potaka will still be in the background doing everything to stifle it.
like a something in the woodpile.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -George Orwell. 1984
A devout Christian from Wales, just a bit mentally disturbed, stabs & kill 3 & severely wounds a others at Stockport.
So what if a jailed felon, Tommy Robinson from his prison wing hears that the culprit is a regular attender of mosque like sessions of prayer.
The media tries not to mention the gender of the prime suspect, nor the ethnicity, nor the religion.
So how does the media know that it is a mentally disturbance.?
So do the so called journalists know the name & previewed the medical records.
So another one.

A blade but not a knife.
No danger to anyone else.
Just a serious incident, but fighting for life, and the injury will be life changing.
A description of the victim, but never of the offender.
So we must not make assumptions.! ! ! …. under a penalty of pain / gaol ….. yeah right …. Just can not have any one being wrong as the far right are volatile & murderous
As an investigation will be underway.
So many reasons for an isolated incident. why?
Will we ever know what happened?
So much has to be read between the lines, & if the authorities could omit even more, they would do so.
And so wonderful to mis lead about Welsh choir boys are handy with a knife.
The same scam unfolds daily in NZ courtesy of our corrupt, social engineering MSM. Never a mention of ethnicity when a violent criminal bashes a toddler to death. No mention of ethnicity when welfare kids turned teenage thugs run riot. We are supposed to suspend all of our learned prejudices & keep a open mind even when the pixelated photos show non white appendages & common sense would alert a blind man to the risk. 1984 again:
……”In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.”…….
We live in a post-truth world.
I don’t really understand why Islam requires that girls begin wearing a headscarf at the age of puberty to protect their modesty.
By the time they’ve reached that stage most Muslim blokes will have lost interest in them anyway.
Maori threat is more to their children than committing crime with firearms. Anycase those with firearms are mostly gang members who don’t give a fuck about legislation, and the biggest threat they pose is to rival gang members. The other other bunch however tend to say alla snackbar quite a bit….

“OnlyFans thot ‘Bonnie Blue’ claims to have set a record by sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours

…..”claims to have set a record by sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours”…..
There wouldn’t be a great deal of sleeping involved. Those figures indicate a 41 second gap between shots & finding 1057 serial no-hopers suffering from premature ejaculation would take a bit of doing.
theres more then 1 fuckable hole, you boring old coots probably hardly ever strayed from hairy and missionary.
plus the queue of guys will all be tugging away so theyre ready to slam it in and pump away, bet more then a few were almost at the gravy stroke by time they pushed past the flaps so theyd struggle to make full use of their 40seconds
Even with one in the pink & one in the stink you’re looking at a 1 min 20 second turnover.
Being a boring old coot has a lot going for it. 🙂
My response on X about this
That’s a funny definition of sleeping. Call it what it is. Fucking 1057 weirdos in 12 hours.
That’s only 40 seconds per fuck. What real man would do that?
Maybe I am wrong and she did get 1057 idiots all together and just lay down in the middle of them?
What a feck’n mess and I’m not just talking about the obvious.
1057 in 720 minutes – must have been a lot with my endurance.

Not that they would worry about the police,;— well the police would seek justice if anything ‘untoward’ happened to those prowlers too.
Now where were the girls, of DEI? Did they say they would not even help a guy, as he is in the wrong place, not listening to their warnings?
Work ‘ealth & safety’ laws & regulations seemed to have worked for the DEI Fire Person. Were any injured, died, or raised a sweat?
Certainly No fire problems for the head-office staff.
Seems to be a number of home owners that did the grunt work, as I see by the clips that U tube have.
And the fire department could not do the same? FFS California needs to revolt against these twats in charge. They are criminals. Also furthers my resolve never to follow any evacuate order ever by any Government official, especially Civil Defence. They are the most incompetent of the lot.
Now they’ve had a clear out the planning can begin for the BEST OLYMPIC GAMES EVER!
Realism or sarcasm?
At the local level Civil Defence is run by district councils. As the parent bodies are invariably top heavy, poorly run, semi accountable, incompetent & generally unaware only morons would trust them with their lives & property.
The January 2023 floods – 2 years ago- were a fine example of FAILURE .
It was very heavy rain at 3 pm, pouring at 5 pm
Huge deluge for over 40 minutes at 7 pm
This was Friday evening at start of the long Anniversary weekend
Local Govt and Central govt failed.
there were cars stuck on the motorway where dips flooded.
Auckland is undulating.
No prick could make up their mind about the Elton John concert
finally cancelled at at 7.10pm – concert due to start at 7.30
Elton John was able to fly out of Auckland at 10 pm
He was more organized than any goo-mint wallys
Council already stuffed up and told people to use trains to go to concert …. then at 3pm they informed that all trains were off everywhere to take advantage of long weekend to do repairs
…which of course never happened
Civil defence could not make up their mind
the roads were a mess with cars bobbing about in water at 7 pm but NZTA signed off soon after and wished suckers a good weekend.
The Met office was shite (no surprise)
Every level of Govt failed and there was no central co-ordination.
There was severe flooding by 4 pm
It was a huge fail that was clearly unfolding from 1 pm
Lessons leant ???
2 weeks later they failed again in Gisborne/ Hawkes bay
So yeah, NO lessons learnt
and if it happened next week…. it would fail again
…..But there will be an inquiry. It might even be royal one.
Wow.
And the usual talking heads will get well paid for 6 to 20 months
and nothing will change.
and yet we have an ever tightening net of elf and safety that creates massive compliance costs to the point of killing productivity.
Like all these situation these shitheads stand around, spout crap, scratch their azz and let it fail
Then have an INQUIRY
woop de do
nothing gets improved.
and no-one is accountable
So pointing the finger at the Demonrats in California will not solve anything.
It is no better here.
Bureaucrats and politicians are the same in the western world.
Civil defence is amateur hour that takes a long time to mobilise,
Addressing a flood build up in the four hours leading to peak is beyond them .
Everything local government touches turns into a clusterfuck.They’re beyond hope.
Our local government made a new skate park at Waitara. Our mayor turned up to open it and had a skate round, fell off an broke his wrist!
Climate change did it.

It was made by the Kiwi owner of a caravan & details the hoops he had to jump through to get the new “green” freedom camping certification. The comments tend to suggest that satisfaction with Stuart Nash’s brainfart legislation has gone subterranean.
The reason for the new regulations was to get small vans converted to campers like the ‘Jucy’ shitheaps & hired out to tight arsed ‘ten minute noodle’ tourists off the road. They wouldn’t use the Porta Potties, preferring to shit in the shrubbery. Instead Covid took care of that problem & left us with certification inspectors who at best have no idea & at worst are using the new regs to boost their insufferable egos.
But the ultimate irony is that a way round the Porta Potty ban has been found. While Kiwis have to rebuild their caravans the scum who rent out Hi Ace Hiltons can circumvent the regs with a $120 bracket.

I got a new one last june. Expires 3/05/2028.It’s a blue one with nothing about no freedom camping, so I don’t understand what he is on about no freedom camping.
You may have beaten the 15th June 1924 cut off point. It may still pay to check as https://www.mbie.govt.nz/immigration-and-tourism/tourism/tourism-projects/supporting-sustainable-freedom-camping-in-aotearoa-new-zealand/freedom-camping-changes states:
“From 7 June 2025, all vehicles will need to be certified with a green warrant to be certified self-contained under the new requirements.”
It’s been such a cockup that I doubt that anyone actually knows what the regs mean & involve.

And once that whole process concludes, National is promising to vote down the bill when it returns to Parliament.
In a brief conversation with members of the public, posted to social media over summer, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon promised to “spike it” and “kill it”.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360547285/treaty-principles-bill-smashes-submissions-record
25 •06:08pm
“Even people who don’t support my bill appear to be supporting the idea of mass participation in what the Treaty means in 2025. I think that is very, very exciting,” he told Stuff on Tuesday, as submissions closed that afternoon.
The original deadline for submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill had been last week, but then Parliament’s website crashed.
Parliament’s Chief Clerk, David Wilson, said the sudden onslaught of submissions on deadline day – January 7 – had overwhelmed the system. As a result, he said more than 10,000 hard copy submissions were delivered to Parliament.
“We expected the bill to have a lot of submissions – but it was even more than we expected, so they really overloaded it and caused it to shut down. It’s great so many people wanted to have a say – but it was just a bit too much,” he said.
While Seymour said it was heartening to see such engaged debate, Labour’s Willie Jackson told Stuff this bill was not something to celebrate.
“We’re talking dangerous legislation here. This is dangerous legislation. He can pat himself on the back as much he likes, but people are worried. People are feeling threatened by this legislation,” Jackson said.
Next week, politicians – albeit not Seymour – will be at Rātana Pā. That is their first chance this year to sit kanohi ki te kanohi with te iwi Māori.
…Prime Minister Christopher Luxon promised to “spike it” and “kill it”…..
yep yep
that is what it is
The hair and teeth may be different but the luxon creep works for the same critters
that is
..NOT you and me
…Next week, politicians – albeit not Seymour – will be at Rātana Pā….
So the Cabinet Minister and soon to be Deputy PM who actually has Maori ancestry will not be Ratana
Representing the party that has more than 50% of its Ministers with Maori heritage.
Seymour, Chhour, McKee3 / 5
Good to know.
Are they allowed to speak?
No point them and their money going just to sit around like dumb cunts!
Luxon may well succeed in his endeavours to “spike it” and “kill it” but the issue isn’t going away.
but it is not going ahead
But it has awakened a sleeping giant. Discussion & debate will occur in the smoko rooms, bars & across dinner tables regardless.
From small beginnings come great things which is why TPM want debate extinguished now.
Viking
So,’ People are feeling threatened by this legislation,” Jackson said.
No Willie, NOT ‘People’, just you and your fellow troughers in labour and TPM.

Here’s Why Keir Starmer Won’t Be PM For Long
After a series of follies and false promises, it looks like Keir Starmer’s time as Prime Minister is coming to a close. Whilst you may wish to rejoice, the Labour Party will likely plod on under a new leadership, and it may even be worse – somehow.
