Morning all from Kawau Island. Might as well have stayed home, the weather is very similar. Only expecting 50 knots south westerly today. Never mind, we’ll never run out of food, alcohol or diesel. Big piss up at the yacht club tonight – might pop over and give them drinking lessons. Have a great day everyone.
Yep T, you would not want to be a small dog or a wheelie bin out and about in Taumarunui at the moment. The likelihood of ending up in Whakatane very rapidly, is huge.
If you are keen Opotiki would be like visiting your towns folks cousins.
Do they have slow moving Land Whales there too, if so they may well be close inbred cousins of some of the inhabitants of this isolated burg, particularly if they congregate around the entrance of a New World Supermarket.
To truly identify if they are related and this species, please advise when you were last there and if they had sloped foreheads and carpet burns on their knuckles.
Ah well those ones are found in naaska country.
Can’t comment on their relatives but naaska can advise.
Kuhanganui are they not.?
Much wilder up potiki way.
comes from eating German eyes I think.
On 2 March 1865, Anglican priest Carl Sylvius Völkner was killed at Ōpōtiki. During Völkner’s recent absence in Auckland, rumours had spread that he was a government spy. Locals warned him to stay away, but he returned to Ōpōtiki on 1 March and was promptly taken prisoner.
During Völkner’s absence, Kereopa Te Rau had arrived in the area seeking followers for Pai Mārire. Widely believed to be behind the killing, Kereopa did not participate in the actual act. Völkner was hanged from a willow tree near his church, then decapitated. Kereopa swallowed the eyes, allegedly calling one ‘Parliament’, and the other the ‘Queen and British law’. This indignity to the head of an enemy conferred mana on Kereopa, but outraged Europeans.
Kereopa fled into Te Urewera and sought protection from Tūhoe, who respected him as the bearer of the Pai Mārire faith. Despite their vehement denial of any role in the killing of Völkner, Tūhoe were accused of involvement and the government confiscated land belonging to them and other ‘rebel’ tribes, Te Whakatōhea and Ngāti Awa.
The dense bush of Te Urewera offered shelter from pursuit to Kereopa, and later Te Kooti. As the Ringatū faith of Te Kooti gained popularity among Tūhoe from 1868, the influence of Pai Mārire began to wane. Still, Tūhoe did not disclose Kereopa’s whereabouts. Over the next three years the government’s relentless pursuit of Te Kooti and his followers saw the destruction of Tūhoe pā and crops, and many deaths.

There’s more to the story.
And then under the dung puncher who was the National Treaty Settlement Minister, one Christopher Finlayson, he organised a Pardon for the perpetrators of this heinous crime and murder as part of a Treaty Settlement..
Going to be a windy season this year.

what a way to start the new year for many folk… headache, hangover and making a bunch of resolutions that wont last the week
The drunkenness, headaches and hangovers are a way of forgetting their New Year’s resolutions.
“No, was my New Years resolution really to stop at two beers, or give up completely? I don’t remember that.”
Fellow campers are going to run a sweepstake as to when I depart for bed. Just another night. Why do i have to, Stay up, sit around with boring piss heads to see the New Year in?
Ah the New Year! ☀️😎🥰🥳🍺 Always starting the year with resolutions and hope for a good one only to see how quickly life shits in your nest. 👀
Live long and prosper.
Happy New Year everyone.
Just look at how long new years honners list is!
They should relaese it by category, be more interesting reading!
Sooty, plenty of Gongs for services to te Mouldy, te Mouldy Art, Pacific thingy’s and Chinese, but can’t see a Gong for services to the Honky Community or Colonialism.
Aaah well, maybe there will be some dished out when Chucks Birthday comes around.
Anything possible ardern got one and never even run in, let alone win the Melbourne Cup
Rawiri Waititi was offered a damehood for services to the circus industry, but he turned it down.
“Fucking colonial bullshit bro” he said.

Yet he INSISTS on wearing Pakeha clothes and making full use of absolutely EVERYTHING ‘Pakeha’ while simultaneously bagging everything that ‘Pakeha’ has made.
He’s a very confused lad, but John Tamahere has trained him well…
He 🤡 speaks when fed taxpayer funding through the slot on his back.
you’se forgot the rugby stalwarts.
I can’t identify every category where they are released by the Courts and then get a Gong.
There appears to be 11 different awards.
They should only issue one of each – make it a worthwhile award to be given, and if there is more than one possible recipient, then a televised mudwrestling competition could decide with public votes.
Dame Golriz Ghahraman

Please Sir, Even NZ’s BS awards have SOME pride so please do not cheapen them even further by awarding one (ANY one) to golly gee.

Wonder if Fiji will salvage theirs first?
I have noticed a huge increase in contraband cigarettes recently. I am sure this will result in a big decrease in tobacco excise duty. The bureaucrats will welcome that duty downturn as proof of the wisdom of their anti smoking moves.
Yeah, right.
Very few of the seized contraband cigarettes to date have been Rothmans or Winfield Reds. Instead they have brand names such as ‘Double Happiness’ & have no puerile pictures of diseased lungs on the packs.
Could it be that Chinese immigrants, many being heavy smokers, don’t think much of our nanny state tax & duties?
Until they need lung transplants that thier socist friends and yours will pay for out of your taxes while reducing your cost of living allowbnaces for your pension.
Won’t hear SB supporting your pension increase.
The only reason anti smoking mania got wings was that mad Aunty Helen loathed the smell of second hand smoke. No-one, including me, is suggesting that it doesn’t cause cancer, emphysema & a few other nasties but they generally show up in old people who coincidentally are the prime target if the country wishes to lower the expense of the codger dole & care facilities. I would note that few are forced at gunpoint to use tobacco.
Generally smokers die painfully & slowly so it would be an easy one to slip past the Godnutters.
Anuty Helen wasn’t the only one. Detested it forever.
But people used to be free to choose.
The nice thing is that we can now set the rules around where and when.
Out in the gutter is fine by me.
No, Aunty Helen wasn’t the only one. The first politician to ban smoking in public places and restaurants was Adolf Hitler.
He was also the first politician to ban ownership of guns, only allowing the SA (and of course the SS) to have them, The SA was mostly compromised of thugs and criminal gangs that were given legitimacy as the boot of the Socialist Govt.
And there were curfews and Germans (the vaccinated) were not allowed to associate with the unclean Jews (unvaccinated).
Not much has changed I’m afraid.
Anyone remember Smokefree 2025? How is that going?
“The Rules… from the Male Side” 🤣
We’ve all heard “the rules” from the female perspective. Now, here are the rules according to men. And yes, every single one is numbered “1” on purpose!
1. Breasts are for looking at, and that’s why we do it. Don’t try to change that.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up; you need it down. We don’t complain when it’s left down.
1. Saturday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. No, we’re never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let’s be clear:
– Subtle hints? Don’t work.
– Strong hints? Nope.
– Obvious hints? Still no.
– JUST SAY IT!
1. ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help fixing it. We’re built for solutions. Sympathy? That’s what your friends are for.
1. A headache that lasts 17 months? That’s a real problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments expire after 7 days.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.
1. If something we say can be taken two ways and one makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both. If you know best, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus didn’t need directions, and neither do we.
1. All men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default. Peach is a fruit, not a color. Same with pumpkin. Mauve? No clue.
1. If it itches, we will scratch it. We do that.
1. If we ask what’s wrong and you say “nothing,” we’ll act like nothing’s wrong. We know you’re lying, but it’s just not worth it.
1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want.
1. When we’re heading out, whatever you’re wearing is fine. Really.
1. Don’t ask what we’re thinking unless you’re ready to discuss:
– S @ x
– Sports
– Cars
– Computers
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. Yes, I’m in shape. Round is a shape.
Thank you for reading this. And yes, I know, I’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight. But hey, did you know we actually don’t mind that? It’s like camping. 😊
In the name of brevity, this one comment will suffice in replacing all the rest
“If something we say can be taken two ways and one makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one”
It’s all about what one says, and how one responds……
She’ll know what you meant.
Viking. Are you suggesting that women be direct, as men are not mind readers?
Think back a bit, to when you new girlfriend or even some random hot babe at a party walked up, kissed you, started unbuttoning you shirt and loosening your belt. Was you response to give her a kiss and start undoing her bra, or to simply reply “oh, you are offering to do my laundry?” If the latter, you must have been to a lot of ‘free laundry’ parties in your younger years.
I make no claims to fame.
Ladies must have been more refined way back then.
Oh well perhaps they weren’t.
Never going to tell.
Been 1 rule of my life.
…….”Come to us with a problem only if you want help fixing it. We’re built for solutions. Sympathy? That’s what your friends are for.”……
How true. The corollary is that if it’s not fucked it doesn’t need fixing.
Despite dodgy cellphone coverage I feel I must comment on the wonderful news that my good friend and one of my greatest fans the lovely Nadia Limbo has received a gong for being such an awesome person and helping so many old folks get rich buying shares in her grossly overvalued business. My very good friend Cindy must be so proud. I’m so excited for her I might have to have a bout of self swooning in front of the the mirror, isn’t she just so extraordinarily awesome!
🤮🤮🤮🤑🤑
Like me. Not a fan.
One good decision never to spend money on anything that other tart has anything to do with.
Ran Telecom into the broke dept and like so many continued on.
Wrong person me thinks V.
Nadia Lim was the cook show bimbo who fleeced the MFB shareholders and left.
both of them Ed.
The other one is still trying to fleece men.

I can see where this one went wrong, imagine shelling out six grand and ending up with her. That would make you wish you’d lost all your money in Telecom when she was in charge or better yet put it in Blue-chip.
Depends on how desperate and energetic she was?
her ill gotten gains got her a farm and allow her to swindle local muppets with her overpriced shit.
she wouldve been more use to most if she just done porn instead, at least then it wouldve been her getting reemed and not gullable folk on sharsies.

A man buys the fastest and most expensive bike on the market—a 2024 Turbo Zoomer, priced at $500,000. It’s sleek, powerful, and can hit speeds of up to 320 miles per hour.
One day, while stopped at a red light, an old man on a rusty bicycle, looking like he’s at least 90, pulls up next to him. The old man glances at the bike and says, “That’s a fancy ride you got there, young man. What’s it called?”
The biker replies, “It’s a Turbo Zoomer. Cost me half a million dollars!”
“Half a million?!” exclaims the old man. “Why’s it so expensive?”
“Well,” says the biker, “because it can go faster than anything else—320 miles per hour!”
The old man, curious, asks, “Mind if I take a closer look?”
“Sure,” the biker says proudly.
The old man leans in, checks out the details, and nods in admiration. “Nice bike,” he says, before pedaling off.
When the light turns green, the biker decides to show off. He revs the engine and speeds away, hitting 320 mph in no time. But then, in his rearview mirror, he spots a tiny dot gaining on him.
**Whoooooosh!** Something zips past him, going even faster!
“What was that?” he wonders, astonished.
Moments later, he sees the dot coming back toward him. **Whooooosh!** It flies by again!
Finally, he sees the dot once more in his rearview mirror, but this time it’s heading straight for him. **CRASH!** The impact sends him skidding to a stop.
When he looks back, he sees the old man and his bicycle tangled in the wreckage. The biker rushes over and asks, “Are you okay? Can I help you?”
The old man, groaning in pain, looks up and says, “Yeah… could you unhook my suspenders from your handlebars?”
That is very funny. Nice one to end the year with.
A kid says, “Dad what is politics”?
His dad says, “Think of me as capitalism, I make all the money for our house so we can afford everything, Your mother, well she’s the government, she runs the house, organises everything, and makes decisions on what to spend our money on”. “The au pair she’s like the working class, you we shall call the people and your baby brother is the future.”
That night the kid is woken by the noise of his brother crying because he’s filled his nappy. He goes to find his mum who’s out cold on wine and won’t wake up, he goes to find the au pair, only to see his dad fucking her senseless. Unnoticed he goes back to bed.
The next day over breakfast his dad says “have you thought any more about politics son?”
The kid says, “yes dad and I have come to some interesting conclusions. Whilst capitalism is screwing the working classes, the government’s asleep, the people are bewildered and the future’s full of shit”!
Special day…

Well if you had any curtains of any value and they were worth washing then you could find out.

meh fuck it, couldnt be arsed doin a full day at work so done the jit 🙂 finally some sun and no rain so me thinks its a good time to dig out my drone fishing gear and dive gear and be ready for an early morning mish!
hey Ed hows ya drone fishing goin you had much luck?
Not since last time. Am waiting for the school holidays to end.
I do not like sharing my space with all the other idiots out there.
fair enough, down here its easy enough to find somewhere with no or next to no other cunt but the tradeoff is we dont have near the variety of fish species you northern folk do.
I don’t know about that. Would love to catch blue cod sometimes.
Go on! Admit it you would love to catch any fish,
Even a goldfish!
Personally, I find the fish and chip shop the best!
Gutted, scaled and even cooked with chips!
I’m with you for that. Going to the fish shop is the best kind of fishing – no waiting hours for a bite, no stinky bait, no scaling, gutting, cooking – what’s not to like?
Me as well Sooty. Throw in a few battered mussels or oysters as it’s only very occasionally we partake. 😋
But you do have an abundance of the best.
Namely blue cod.

Possums and rats help stop the spread of conifers, study finds
, 2024 •03:54pm
Study finds pest is helping eradicate another pest
This story was originally published on July 08, 2024
Pest control of introduced mammals such as rodents and possums might control wilding conifer populations, a new study has found.
Scion invasion ecologist Tom Carlin led research into the contribution that seed eaters had on reducing conifer seed survival, and made some surprising discoveries – including that our pest mammals help to control pest conifers.
“These seeds don’t survive through the gut when they are eaten by rats or possums,” Carlin explained.

An elderly golfer comes in after a good round of golf at the new course and heads straight to the bar/restaurant area of the club house.
As he passes through the swinging doors, he spots a sign hanging over the bar that reads:
COLD BEER: $5.00
HAMBURGER: $10.00
CHEESEBURGER: $15.50
CHICKEN SANDWICH : $18.50
HAND JOB: $250.00
Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary money, the old golfer walks up
to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers.
She glides down behind the bar across from the old golfer.
“Yes?” she inquires with a wide, knowing smile. “ May I help you sir?”
The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, “I was wondering young lady, are you the one who gives the hand-jobs around here?”
She looks into his wrinkled eyes and with a wide smile purrs, “Yes sir, I sure am.”
The old golfer leans in even closer and into her left ear says softly, “Well then, be sure to wash your hands really, really good, because I want a cheeseburger.”
Disgusting
But niice!
