Had a knock on the door Thursday evening. Opened the door and was asked “Trick or treat”
I said neither and shut the door.

EXPOSED: Sport NZ spends $170k on 298 emails (yes, seriously)
Sport New Zealand is one of those Government quangos that sounds all very well, until you realise they simply have too much time (and too much of our money).
The fully-taxpayer-funded crown entity is to be the (to quote from their website): kaitiaki (guardian) of the play, active recreation and sport system in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Sport NZ Group also includes High Performance Sport NZ, which leads the high performance sport system, supporting athletes and coaches
They spent $170k as part of a “campaign” to thank Kiwi coaches. The website generated an “e-card” (i.e. an email with a picture in it).
Sport NZ pumped $131,598 of taxpayers’ money into the project (topped up with another $40 grand from charity) to generate just 298 emails! that’s $575 per e-card…
Nothing says “thanks coach” like spam – ooops – a $575 email
Sport NZ is run by the BEAST Raelene Castle.
You don’t want to make the They-Beast angry.
Raelene Castle is a trail of fail.
Netball, rugby league, rugby union
So got a Wellywood overpaid roll
Wherever the Beast goes there is money wastage .
A liebour Appointment.
Should be rescinded by nude nut, but the nutless nude nut wont .
The Beast was on AUD 815,000 pa when she made the Israel Folau cock up.
R.A. lost near $10 million that year after having to pay out Israel Folau and other causes.
Castle had its salary halved as the ‘Game’ was in trouble in AU.
Then came Convid and its salary was reduced again to AUD 285 k pa.
But the liebour goo-mint rescued the failing bitch later in 2020 with a sweet Nu Zild deal in wellywood.
That’s nice, dear.
Shonky shapeshifters sticking together.
An utter disgrace. Heads should roll.
Support that Sport New Zealand!
Another “gift” to a labour supporter?
Who was the person that created and ecard?
Fraudulent.
Now this is a new twist to playing with my pussie. 😆 😆

JD Vance’s brutal swipe at Kamala Harris after recording a 4-hour Joe Rogan podcast
There’s some Peter Jackson dimensional foreshortening movie magic going on in the picture with both Trump and Rogan in the same frame (2:44). Joe is 5ft tall and Trump is 6ft2. I wouldn’t be surprised if the props and the table is sized to make Joe look bigger. He has a Napoleon Complex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex

yup very frustrating indeed, 2 nice days aint enough drying time to get anything done before the next rain.
if i were still contract milking id be down in the dumps but thank fuck im just a boy now. noticed the mood at work change big time over the past week when the last stint of rain set in. getting too late to sow crops, silage/balage ready to come off but cant get on paddocks, autumn sown paddocks with large areas drowned and ponded etc.
sometimes less responsibility is a good thing, stupid boy dosent miss the stress of running a farm.
apparently its the wettest most challenging spring since the early 80s, the past few weeks havent been as bad but still get rain at least twice a week… bet when it stops the poor cunts end up with a drought.
Here ya go Mr Ed. Your Meme on Saturday Fun “Take Me Down To Transgender City” has just become a reality.
How this happened is to gruesome to think about.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/trans-mans-pregnancy-and-birthing-journey-in-aotearoa/2SH7ALDG5VDQDDD6QQWKI4FOZ4/
what in the fuck did we do to deserve that shit hooli?
the worlds fucked and in desperate need of a giant asteroid smashing it.
SB, you said “in desperate need of a giant asteroid smashing it”
In the case of these two Arse Bandits, I think it would be “in desperate need of a giant Hemorrhoid smashing it.”
I know we once had Trevor Rupe up this way but glad you have these two, to balance the books down you way, well almost your way.
I only encountered Trevor Rupee once & that was circa 1969. Three of us decided one Saturday to head over to Wellington for a pub crawl to celebrate a birthday. We took our mascot in the delightful form of Mrs Nasska to be as our sober driver & ventured into the land of shitty weather & crook beer.
Closing time saw us pissed as chooks & in need of coffee before we faced the two hour plus trip home. Carmens on Vivian (?) Street was going to be it but things didn’t go well.
My mate started off about grubby, smelly old men in dresses & it went downhill from there. Trevor mentioned something along the lines of “we don’t have that sort of behaviour here darling” & we were unceremoniously dumped out on the footpath pissing ourselves with laughter.
My beloved dined out on our misfortune. Three strapping rural lads (we had a combined weight of nearly 50 stone & not much of it was fat) were given the bum’s rush by a few podgy old poofters.
We should have gone with Plan B which involved the strip club at Courtenay Place. 🙂
Carmen/Trevor hammed it up
At least pretty sure sure he never claimed he could have babies.
Was a good sort in many ways. Carmen was who Carmen was.
an invented persona.
I remember as a 7th former going to Carmen’s coffee lounge.
The trannies/cross dressers were hamming it up. We were never in any harm !!!
I had a brief chat with Carmen in Kings Cross back in the early 1990s.
Not a person with any malice as far as I could see.
Not trying to control or impose her/himself on anyone.
Then we had Georgina Beyer who was Nasska’s local MP – elected, not list – for 2 terms
Georgina Beyer actually beat Notional’s candidate Paul Henry in 1999 to become MP
I don’t think Beyer claimed to be able to have babies.
It s a recent phenomenon of pushing perversion and sickness on the general populace.
The amount of lies and abuse pushed on kids and creating fear -the chinese coof, climmy change etc – is disgraceful.
Deliberately creating mental health problems. Shitheads!
The MSM are at the forefront of this. They are disgusting. Not the doing of old of old drag queens; since deceased.
I would like to think Jeff Bezos call out of the WaPo had a genuine ring to it .
Get back to reporting facts. Not likely. They never have, never will.
Some men get sexually aroused by dressing as women. The ancient Greeks even had a term for it: autogynephilia, some dudes are perverts.
Our trouble is, that big Pharma, make big money off this industry now. They’ve turned a perversion into big business. Frankenstein level plastic Surgeons, corrupt drug companies pumping out sexual inhibitive drugs (all from Tel Aviv – what a surprise). There’s too much money in the pervert industry now. Nothing to stop it.

Tumahai said Poutini Ngāi Tahu was working with local government and the Department of Conservation to fix the issue of taonga being illegally removed and taken overseas or used fraudulently throughout the country.
His people wanted to have the power to turn up unannounced to mining sites to ensure all pounamu found was being handed over, he added.

Re: ‘His people wanted to have the power to turn up unannounced to mining sites to ensure all pounamu found was being handed over, he added’.
By extension, although it would only be pounamu at first, ALL mining would be eventually be subject to this, with the ‘I want it, it’s mine, I’m taking it’ mentality enabling them to appear on any site which is doing well, and demand to take whatever they want under ‘Native’ title, AND BE ABLE TO DO IT LEGALLY!!
Unfortunately, as part of his vote-cathing, Luxflakes will quite happily cave and allow this to occur.
The anti-whitey activists will, of course, milk it for all it is worth.
Of course the clipboard monitors will have to be all paid by the council and not by the elite iwi that control the rort.
V2, I see the Serial Troughers, Ngai Tahu are now referring themselves as “Poutini Ngāi Tahu”.
For your edification the definition of the word “Poutini”.
Poutini is the name of the Taniwha swimming up and down the West Coast of the South Island.

There’s a heap of cameras around that read number plates automatically. As fast as your car blasts by on the highway. We had one in Wellington car park. It was cool, but sort of freaky at the same time.
Standard Python scripts from publically available libraries can take a jpg image and pull out vector and text summaries of what it sees. Thats the heart of Tesla’s autonomous driving system. It takes video, and automatically labels everything, on the fly. This then feeds the AI which matches vector summaries to good driving practice. Getting ahead of problems. Eventually driving. Based on a computers ability to recognise faces.
I did not realise Lang Hancock had a partner (Peter Wright) in his iron ore discoveries. Gina Rheinhart is doing extremely well developing her businesses from her inheritance . The family of the partner seem to be doing very by just collectiing royalties via Rio Tinto.

Mrs Gina Rinehart AO is a leading figure in the Australian mining and agricultural industries. She is also a leading figure in Australia’s Olympic efforts (as the patron of four teams and the largest single non-government contributor to the Olympic effort in Australia’s history), and has received the rare honour of an order of merit from the Australian Olympic Organisation for her contributions.
Gina Rinehart is standing up for Right.
She stared down the woke stupid racist netballers who wanted to sledge her over a comment her father made 40 years ago.
Bada bing bada boom bada bang

She is strong on advocacy for mining pointing out its benefits.
Most of the mining is inhospitable dirt that has no other use and no neighbours.

AFAIR she had to fight pretty hard to get control after her father slacked off and got married to a gold digging Filipina.

LAS VEGAS, NV —
Voters on the fence about where to place their trust in the upcoming presidential election breathed a sigh of relief last night, as Diddy’s ex-girlfriend urged all Americans to trust her judgment.
Actress/singer Jennifer Lopez,
one-time companion of the now-disgraced entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, appeared on stage at a political rally to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in yet another strong display of her outstanding ability to judge a person’s character.
“I just have a knack for picking the best people,” Lopez said before introducing Harris to the crowd.
“As anyone can see from my track record — including all four of my marriages — I am a tremendous judge of character.
I strongly urge all voters to elect Kamala Harris.
She’s the best, most upstanding person I’ve met since Diddy, and that’s saying something.”

For context

Fuck, you are a twat? JD Vance, RFK, Elon Musk… Stick a pine apple up your arse.. (The metal one, sans pin).
“JD Vance, RFK, Elon Musk”
You’re proving my point, albeit very inelegantly:
JD Vance was a Never Trumper who supported Obama and likened Trump to Hitler (as if that’s a bad thing),and has been elevated out of obscurity backed by money from tech mogul Peter Thiel, whose largest clients are the CIA and Mossad;
RFK is a life-long liberal from a Democrat Party dynasty; and
Elon Musk supported and help launched the campaign of Ron Desantis, and who will benefit from Trump’s plan to staple green cards to the diplomas of Indian coders. Sure, he has opened up X bit, but he still has to visit Auschwitz to be reminded who’s boss when required if the speech on X gets a little too free.
So yeah, I’m not seeing any MAGA here.
The fact is that these people and all of the other grifters have not come around to Trumpism as it was in 2016, Trumpism has been so cucked in 2024 that they can support it now.
I think your problem, one you share with many, is that you’re a very shallow thinker who accepts what he is told to think and cannot make judgments based on a deeper level of analysis.
I think you know nothing about my ability to think, but you may think what ever you like, as all thinking is just that. Thinking. It bears no resemblance to reality or objectivity. Think about it, what is a thought, what is the essence of the neurological processes in the brain, the firing between synapsis that cross the sodium potassium bridges between individual neurons. We understand the process, but what is it in essence. Think about it… https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/synaptic-transmission#:~:text=Synaptic%20transmission%20is%20the%20process,inhibits%20or%20modulates%20cellular%20activity.

I’m extremely impressed with the lineup intheTrump team. I wish we had something similar in NZ. Love to see Government departments cleaned out. I just can’t see the Deep State allowing them to govern. Imagine Big Pharma losing all those billions.
“Love to see Government departments cleaned out. I just can’t see the Deep State allowing them to govern”
That’s the problem. All of Trump’s team are political Establishment insiders and GOP shills who are part of the Deep State. A lot of them were “Never Trumpers” and/or did nothing to support him in 2020/21, and in fact were actively against Trump.
None of them are loyal to Trump and they will never put America First with policies that reflect that proposition. If Trump’s team were made up of Project 2025 loyalists, then things could be very different. But Trump has been instructed to disavow them, because the Money Power doesn’t want America First policies and governance.
Mark my words right here: nothing will get done and nothing will change because Trump doesn’t like to “govern” and his team (who will govern for him) do not want change.
Personnel is the no. 1 factor, and the personnel are all wrong to perform any sort of “revolutionary” change.
Whatever the direction the Election takes, chaos and disruption is likely to ensue.
If the Dems lose, they’ll want Civil War. If the Reps lose, they’ll want Civil War. It is by design, and it sucks. The Military Complex wins either way.

Police announced Thursday they seized over 500 kilograms of illegal drugs, including 54 kilograms of fentanyl, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 35 kilograms of cocaine,.
The quantity of fentanyl alone could have resulted in more than 95 million potentially lethal doses.

OPur Next King?
The King has severed the Duke of York’s “£1 million-a-year” allowance in recent weeks, it has emerged.
In an updated biography about the monarch, author Robert Hardman revealed that King Charles has instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse to “sever” his brother’s living allowance.
The new chapters of Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, serialised by Britain’s Daily Mail, includes a palace insider confirming that “the Duke is no longer a financial burden on the King”.
The news comes amid ongoing wrangling between the monarch and his disgraced younger brother about his living situation in the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge home in Windsor Great Park.

food for thought on the banking Sector.
As MPs probe bank competition, Andrew Laming calls for an honest discussion on how capital allocation drivers are set
When we made our submission to the Rural Banking Inquiry, we went back into the Reserve Bank data to look at how each main banks’ agri lending market share has changed over the last six years.
The changes in market share are really telling, but what’s more interesting is the actual dollars that have been lent (or as the case might be, haven’t been lent) when looking at other sectors such as home lending.
Let’s look at the graph of the market share first:

Entire communities built around agriculture and livestock are dissolving as forest march into pastoral farming regions. Kate Acland sounds a warning that too much is being lost
The recent insights from Kate Acland, chairperson of Beef+Lamb and a farmer herself, into the Orme & Associates report on land use change highlight the urgency of the issue New Zealand is facing with farmland increasingly being converted into forestry for carbon credits. This shift, as she emphasises, is not merely a statistic but a real and accelerating trend impacting rural communities, food production, and New Zealand’s agricultural legacy.
Between 2017 and mid-2024, 261,000 hectares of sheep and beef land were sold and converted to forestry, involving entire farms, not merely marginal corners where trees might be sensibly planted as part of a balanced farm model. Acland points out that much of this converted land is class six, or hill country, “but it’s good, productive breeding country,” she says. The result is a direct impact on livestock numbers, rural jobs, and ultimately the economic backbone of farming communities.

A woman was in labour.
Just as the midwife was about to begin the delivery, the baby stuck it’s head out and asked the midwife
” Are you my daddy?”
The astonished midwife was astounded and could only say
“No I’m not”
At this, the baby disappeared back inside
The midwife called the nurse
The nurse came in and once again, the baby stuck it’s head out and asked .
Are YOU my daddy?”
“NO. I am not!”
Once again back in he went
At this point hearing all this commotion, the father came in.
Once again the little head appeared.
“Are YOU my daddy?”
“Yes I am”
The baby pushed a little until it was half out, beckoned the father to come up close
When the father was really up close, the baby reached out and stuck his finger in his fathers eye, and shouted
“Fuckin’ hurts doesn’t it?!”
