Who sleeps all night in their old age? I find myself waking up (or being woken up) every 4 hours a night. Every night.
It’s not fun to be woke.
luxury, try being younger these days and getting a good sleep it just dosent happen.
4hrs is just about a full night sleep for stupid boy 🙁 plus ill wake at least 2 or 3 times during that 4 or 5hrs.
been like that since i was about 10yrs old, paper run at 12 then dairy farming at 14 suited my sleeping habbits well.
..bladder probs?
Old age.
Of course Maori were the ones that built Stonehenge they were the instigators of all that was in the world, maori were the best at building everything, pyramids absolutely everything, Tea party members are the cleverest ever in the world, especially the two leaders. Oh and of course there is the king who could forget him, I guess it was in the early days and lately as well they are so clever.
I love the lion looking very chubby after eating everything on board even Noah and his family.
And if anyone ever believes either of those stories they are so stupid that there should be a special place for them.
Good morning, hope you all have a great day.
…did this all on their way back from Antarctica
theres a circle of large boulders partially buried at the top of a mountain in fiordland that someone found quite some time back, they claimed they were carried up and placed there by early maori.
it was being discussed on forum at the time and i got banned for suggesting maori were dumber then the rocks they carried up there cuz there were heaps of other similar looking ones scattered around the summit they couldve used…. it just looked like a natural formation which it must be cuz nothing ever come of it but my point still stands that maori are dumber then rocks 🙂

Nothing wrong with a lot of pillows – cushions, however, do not belong on a bed.
“axing kaipara maori ward could cost ratepayers up to 100k”….. why dont they tell us how much maori wards cost plus all the extra koha, cost of pandering and project holdups the grifters create?
100k sounds like a bargain, cheapest thing a council has done.
Axing the maori ward would involve phoning the place holder and telling them not to come to work (if they ever did actually turn up or do anything), and shredding the headed note paper. How does that cost ratepayers up to 100k?
McD, you mean not coming to work like this Maori Ward Geezer.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350380753/taurangas-maori-ward-councillor-leave-until-2025
I am wondering what the hell he was applying to become a maori ward geezer for if he knew he was not going to be able to take up the position till 2025. WTF are these people doing????????is he receiving an honorarium? Of course he is they do NOTHING for nothing.
But, but Lizzie, this Geezer, he of te Maori Ward, one, Mick Sydney, is getting paid the princely sum of $110,000 while he was away from his employment.
“Arataki councillor Rick Curach raised concerns that Māori ward councillor Mikaere Sydney, who was granted a medical leave of absence at the meeting, would be paid $110,000 while on leave.”
Not a bad sort of gig.

Within days of being elected he got terribly ill.
When he became elected it made me ill, but I don’t get $2596 per week whilst I am ill.
OMG that is absolutely ridiculous. I am sorry the man is so ill? But seriously that would make me so unhappy if they were receiving $135k when the remuneration authority suggested 89,695 for a counsellor People of Tauranga you were possibly better off with what you had.
I see the maori concilor wears his hat to the meetings. He’s soecial, dontya know!
I would hope he provided a doctors nate!
Will eagle eyed ratepayers, check on his progress?
Reversing the local Commies work of defacing our great culture will cost them their very souls. Without the Virtue signalling they are husks
PM Christopher Luxon says ‘Ukraine could happen’ in Indo-Pacific, warns ‘splendid isolation’ not enough

Luxon gives foreign policy speech in Sydney
VIDEO CREDIT: Stuff
Christopher Luxon has doubled down on warning a Ukraine style conflict could hit closer to home.
In a question and answer session following his speech to the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Luxon was asked why New Zealand was so committed to supporting Ukraine.
The prime minister pointed to the importance of a rules based order, and warned “Ukraine could happen in a flashpoint across our Indo-Pacific region as well.”
He had previously made a similar warning while at the NATO summit earlier this year.
When Stuff asked specifically what flashpoints he was referring to following the speech, he name checked the Taiwan Strait and North Korea.
“Essentially what’s happening in Europe could happen in the Indo-Pacific, and that’s why, you know, that’s why we stand with Ukraine, because, you know, those, those values are what we’re standing up for,” he said.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350380641/pm-christopher-luxon-says-ukraine-could-happen-indo-pacific-warns-splendid
So he stands up for nazi values then.
Well being Catholic of course he does, either that or he is as dumb as those rocks of SB’s and knows nothing of the European History.
Both I suspect.
The Lowy Institute is a jew run outfit.
Probably major direct input from Israel
WOFT listening to them if you want independent views
at the risk of upsetting Mr Ed I shall quote from wikipedia
There are other sources but this is an easy cut and paste
Hey, just putting the facts in front of you.
——————————————
Based in Sydney, the Lowy Institute was founded in 2003 by Slovakian-born, Australian-Israeli billionaire businessman Sir Frank Lowy.[2] Lowy, a veteran of the 1947–1949 Palestine war,[2]
and close associate of two former Israeli prime ministers,[2]
emigrated to Australia and founded Westfield Corporation, a global shopping centre company;
he retains a key role in various shopping centres in Australia and New Zealand.[5][6]
and
re Frank Lowy who is 93 and lives in Isreal
…His son Peter, is chairman of Tribe Media Corp, the parent of the Jewish Journal[33] and served as chairman of the University of Judaism.[34]
Yep yep
very partisan !!
🤣🤣
luxflakes is dumber than a rock
What is the equivalent of Ukraine
Adjacent countries to China
like Vietnam; Korea; Japan
the USA is an occupying force in both Japan (for 80 years) and Korea (for 70 years)
It was f’ing around in Vietnam for nearly 20 years from 1957
They cut out the middleman = NUTO
So US are the aggressors
After Germany invaded Russia in ww2 Russians fought back. It cost many lives.
They rolled on to Germany
They passed over countries they had not occupied prior to 1940
(Russia is a adjacent to many muzlim countries; USA is not)
Russia created a buffer to direct aggressor Germany
Russia occupied these adjacent counties for 45 years until 1990
They left 34 years ago
US is still an occupying force in Japan and Korea
and an occupying force in Germany with armed solders, many military bases and weapons that Russia could target in conflict
Who are the saints and who are the sinners
luxflakes is a dumb azz puppet that could not understand real world politocs
Waht does it say apbut NZ when the cuurent and prior 3 PMs are dumb as fuck ?
1 can be an accident.
3 ina row -luxflakes, adrain and hipkins
Yup. Support Putin over these other idiots any day of the week.
More then 3/ Add in Key, Bolger, Shipley and Clark.
Nah
to be fair
Key and Clark were/are intelligent
Lets stick with facts despite the desire to deride all.
Shipley, yep, she was not on the bright side.
Luxflakes seems to have really low comprehension levels.
—————–
Cant make out Spud bolger at all
He is certainly slippery; along the lines of key.
He monumentally stuffed up his first term in 1990 to 1993. A walk out by many MPs from the party.
From a near landslide in 1990 (mainly a huge reaction to the last years of fat guts and palmer.
Mike Moore does not count. He was a place marker PM for 7 weeks.)
Bolger almost lost in 1993.
Surprisingly remained PM for another 4 years after 1993.
Is he dumber than a (swar) brick?
He is following orders doesn’t require thinking.
NN needs to understand the first rule of conversation. Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
1 Is he Catholic? I thought he was the type to belong to a very much more happy clappy variety. Not Catholic who are very trad in their views.
2 Is he thinking that the Ukraine is going to assist us in this war that he is predicting? I think not personally. He really is a very stupid FUCK isn’t he if he thinks that a war could erupt at any stage .
He only stands for his globalist war machine masters. He is a godless globalist. He should rename the party to National Globalist Leftwing Party.
Big mistakes for National this week. Submitting to US warmongers to extradite Dotcom & sucking up to war machine. Let’s check up on 100 day progress. Oh shit.
Luxflakes started out catholic and has moved to the evangelical /happy clappy brigade.
Easily led; therefore makes a good puppet.
With the president out of picture the war machine is revving on full throttle.
UK, US contractors spearheaded a NATO invasion of 3000 men into Kursk to swarm a power plant in Russia. They have been stopped and been killed. But Putin is now moving his ICBM & ballistic targetting to within UK, NATO, & US. A couple of bombs in London might wake everyone up? Maybe.

Ed, if govts can just turn off the internet like that please tell us how well your beloved crypto ponzi will fare and function during those outages?
You are at the mercy of you goo-mint
the goo-mint are not your friend.
In NZ the public service (misnomer ) has gone rogue .
Notional must have really been asleep at the wheel during their leadership changes – 4 leaders between 1 January 2020 and 31 Dec 2021; notwithstanding the 2 interim ones of Nikki Kaye and Shane Reti .
Notional are just waking up to this and Notional have themselves been an occupied force since John Key took over nearly 20 years ago.
we saw how malicious a goo-mint can be in 2020/2021
And that was just the clay model for the REAL Thing .
It is not just the internet.
What if your electricity goes out….

The prior intent of 3 branches of govt
Executive, Judiciary and Legislative
…has broken
The (alleged ) fourth estate is broken .
The Executive is full of marxists eg Education Dept
Judiciary has been stacked since Margaret Wilsons time with woke, lefty bleeding hearts.
Legislative is stacked with green party marxists, outright criminals from maori party ; overgrown schoolkids in liebour; religious fanatics in Notional
They are pathetic.. but they control you and if you misbehave
they can use the other arm- the poolice force- to subdue you
they did on 2 March 2022 in parliament grounds
They even unleashed these pricks on rescue helicopter pilots after White Is. so don’t think there is any benevolence present, whatever.
Bleak ?
Prove me wrong !
The US second amendment had great foresight
and the goo-mint wants a gun register
After their bovver boys screwed up and allowed Brenton Tarrent a gun licence
..or did they screw up !!
Was it deliberate
It will be safer that your money in the bank. Most keep their crypto in self custody.
How would a disabled ATM machine enalble you to get access to your cash in the bank or buy anything with eftpos?
true Ed but what about internet filters/bans that prohibit crypto while everything else still works?
tbh im suprised the uk hasnt used the latest “far right riots” as a mechanism to try out their kill switch. at least it shows govts have some restraint on using it i guess.
If the internet was shut down we would have a lot more to worry about than bitcoin.
yeah i know, the lack of tiktok and porn will devastate our nation. poor vikey would be beside himself if he didnt get his hourly dose of zuckerburg

What did he do wrong that many others were doing at the time
He responded when provided with takedown notices
As he said, he provided a storage location like Google Drive or Dropbox
He has to react after the fact for illicit material
This is a best a copyright issue which would not be an impressionable offence in NZ – all things being equal.
How about the same energy goes into the dark web that passes around kiddy porn or snuff movies – sometimes an overlap!
Ok, that wont happen.
It is not what he did, it is who he is
Same with the kiddy porn stuff. It is not what they do ; it is who they are that there is not a clampdown
Even the real life moving of juvenile kids. As demonstrated the movie Sound of Freedom – there is no effort to bring it under control
But people post some movies on Megauplaod and hollyweird — full of pervs and sickos – loses its shit.
Don’t mistake the fact he is an obnoxious Rsole with the fact he has been wronged

There was no need for a wanky helicopter rai.
This is lawfare on dotcom, the same as they have used on Trump.
……”Don’t mistake the fact he is an obnoxious Rsole with the fact he has been wronged”……
Very true.
……”There was no need for a wanky helicopter rai.”…….
The fact that it occurred at all was a wake-up call to those of us with above room temperature IQ levels. Sending in 76 police officers & two helicopters in order to arrest one fat German was total overkill which should have signalled the Hollywood involvement.

Furious today so have to vent.
Regional Council Rates arrived. They changed to land value rating and boy what a huge impost.
My rates have gone up 120% !
Fair bit of communication going on between locals.
They couldn’t even remove a bus levy when we have no bus service and have based on pre flood valuations.
Bastards
Time to bring out Madame Guillotine for both local and central goo-mint.
I’ll even take up knitting if that was a requirement !
wiseowl im sure most of those rate rises will be getting put towards new improved floodbanks etc//////
youve got drag story time, rainbow crossings, sister city junkets and lets not forget those expensive taniwha to pay for!
god knows how much our rates will go up, they made late changes here so our rates bill is delayed a month.
Time to kick up hell wiseowl. These Council bureaucrats have lost the plot and now think ratepayers are just ATM machines.
I get confused about how they base the ratings. I always thought in Wellington we had land value based ratings because of how they manipulate the capital value breakdown. For example our house is valued at 11% of the capital value, so weighting the land value miles more than it should. ( a young couple across the road has their improvements valued at $20k!! ) But a comment on a blog I read said it was meaningless and all they do is apportion your share of their budget on the your capital value’s proportion of the total of all capital values. Playing with numbers either way.
Two points with land vs capital value based rating:
1) Land value rating discourages land speculation. IOW if you’re paying the same rates regardless of whether or not you build on a section it makes a poor investment.
2) Councils have of late approportioned most rates on a fixed charge basis. ie $X water, $Y rubbish, $Z roading. Only “general” rates are based on land or capital values.
Its all the other add ons that they add as well.
Also a charge of $155 for public transport. WTF must be a subsidy for a bus service we don’t get in the rural area.
I think there is going to be a backlash.
ORC are screaming for 20% at the same time they are building a multi story hyper inflated overpriced bureaucratic temple for sacrificing ratepayers in Dunedin, on the old equally bankrupt Warehouse site. Sack staff until budget back on track I say.
And they are trying to outlaw forestry and farming and mining in Otago with their new Marxist water laws. Councilor’s are raging commies.

Do you know what Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill says? Have you seen the wording?
Nah! Didn’t think so, but the perpetual whingers on the Waitangi Tribunal think they know what the Bill contains and what Seymour is intending to put in it and as such have released a “Scathing Report”, on a Bill that neither has been written yet nor the contents known.
Another bunch of troughing fuckwits living on my dime.
Betcha Seymour won’t get a wink of sleep this weekend knowing that a scathing report has been issued on a Friday.

We’re laughing but suddenly the bloke on the table next to us pipes up “Mate, my brother was epileptic and died after having a fit in the bath.”
You know that feeling when you just want the ground to swallow you up? Anyway I said, “ Sorry to hear that mate, did he drown?”
He said, “No, he choked on a sock.”

Well yes and no.
Right people but just another jobs worth outfit that should have been shut down altogether.
Both of the outfits.
“We also welcome the appointment of Dr. Stephen Rainbow to his new role as the Chief Human Rights Commissioner. Like Dr. Derby, Dr. Rainbow has a strong history of defending free speech, and supporting the work of the Free Speech Union.
“In a time when major opposition is emerging in our own country from numerous corners against basic human rights, their work and leadership will be vital. We look forward to working with them to champion all Kiwis’ basic right to speak.”
Yes I tend to agree with the race relations post but a decent HR Commissioner would have been very useful during covid when our rights were totally non existent.
The positions are sops to political correctness. Both will owe their unnecessary existences to some half baked UN initiatives our idiot representatives signed us up for years ago.
