A pluviophile is a person who loves rain and rainy days. It’s a term that describes someone who finds joy and peace in the presence of rain.
Are you like me, getting a bit fed up with the tears of the Catholics over their man dropping off the perch?
We need to gang up on ROL and get him to sort out the new guy and hurry up about it.
You will understand that its pissed down all night again and its still pissing down.
One of the local whaka ama canoes has made its way miles from home and has been found on the side of a road at the top of the hill. Bloody Maoris behaving like Noah. No animals have yet been harmed on this journey. ( I kid you not)
3 hrs ago.
·Anonymous memberJust came off state highway 2 at Cameron road and there’s an outrigger canoe sitting on the side of the exit ramp?
Maybe Waka Ama styles? Didn’t seem like it would have fallen off a trailer without being noticed, and I’m just conscious that scumbags like roaming on stormy nights like this, when there’s already noise outside to cover their theivery…..
So if it’s yours, that’s where it’s at
Noahs New Ark.
I am very certain that I am not remotely like you, and see no correlation between rain and Catholicism. Nor do I have any inclination to ‘gang up on’ ROL.
Trump spoke to Zelinsky after the pope’s funeral and when asked about his discussion said The Vatican “was the nicest office he’d been in”
That’s sounds like a response from Agnes Brown.
Translation: Feck Off. If I told you you’d report it wrong.
I’m trying as hard as I can. I’d prefer one who is not ancient, understands Climatology and DNA/mRNA sequencing. Also one who has a hatred of paedophiles. I’ll talk to the Boss about stopping the Angelic hordes crying.
The crims were out and about and took the canoe, just in case it flooded!
Noah’s descendants?
Morning, must be a fair few of them up this way. The last couple of days we’ve had the most rain I’ve seen since Easter.
Ha, Ha, you’re funny mate!
Did you ever consider been a comedian. Co’s we ain’t got any!
Not since Billy T.
Raining in sunny Hawke’s Bay now.
Why can’t you keep it up north?
Very green driving up through Waikato today. Wipers needed all the way. Very soft underfoot.

Prisoner voting ban to be reinstated by GovernmentThe Government will reinstate a total ban on prisoner voting, Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says.
Cabinet has agreed to reverse the 2020 law change made by the previous government, which had allowed prisoners serving sentences of less than three years to vote.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360670649/prisoner-voting-ban-be-reinstated-government
I could think of many pieces of legislation that could be changed /reinstated before this.
Is this move to reduce Labours vote?
Irrelevant
it is just another ANNOUNCEMENT
Nothing has been actually done
it is words
from goldensmith who is such a feeble follower he could not lift a pound of butter off the table
….that in the second half of the notional unled and listless coalition term that some legislation may be introduced.
introduced, not passed.
but there are not enough sitting days for it to be passed
-unless it is the TPB they want to kill off quickly before Easter.
the pollies are still on holiday after taking Easter, Anzac and all last week and again this week.
there are 6 sitting days in April, done by the 10th April; 9 days in May and 6 days in June.
Oh to be a list MP
no wonder TPM are playing up.
If notional intended to do something they would. But they don’t.
even the ritual disemboweling of The Treaty Principles Bill was an effort to DO Nothing.
and nothing shall be done.

Great job robbo.
…everyone here owes me a debt of gratitude for Robbo leaving. I bought a magic set just before the election, waved my wand, and ‘poof’ he was gone!
Was it a big poof?
Yep 660k of poof from the uni/taxpayer.
‘poof’ and Robbo in the same sentences.

Yesterday I watched a couple of YT live streams on the Canadian elections and then read many posts on X this morning.
Sad eh.
Anyway there are major problems in Canada and Carney is really copping it on X.
Even NN posted a congratulatory comment and has been smashed by people telling him to FO and why support a communist etc.
People in Alberta are talking splitting and setting up their own country.
I hope Australia doesn’t fall over to the lying Albo this weekend but looks like they will.
Albanese will get back in,
The student loan reduction has bought a lot of votes .
40 years ago AU Govt were very wary on raising taxes on booze and ciggies. That is long gone.
They are cautious on petrol taxes but that is more than offset by anti-coal -oil -gas and net zero so it is being done by stealth.
AU politicians have no shame on direct and clear bribes.
John Howard did it multiple times for elections. Straight cash handouts.
it is a dirty game ….and suits politicians.
———–
Re Canada
watch for Doug Ford move to Federale politics.
does not matter if Carney is really copping it on X.
He is IN and the boss. Just people venting.
X does not have a vote
…However a lot of Ex people vote in USA , That may be stopped in this 4 years. Being dead did not stop you voting in 2020 ☠️💀

“Poilievre’s HUMILIATING Loss” – Canada ROCKED By Carney’s SHOCKING Election Win
The PBD Podcast and Viva Frei break down Mark Carney’s Pierre Poilievre’s shocking defeat, exploring what it means for Canada’s political future and its relationship with the U.S.
I read earlier that Pollievre has remained leader of the party and so do not be surprised if a Conservative MP, in a rock solid seat, resigns forcing a bi-election allowing Pollievre back into Parliament.
Also read an article suggesting huge Chinese influence in the election supporting Carney, but that could be a sour grapes piece.
...suggesting huge Chinese influence…..

Maybe Alberta will join the U.S lol, Trump takes Canada one state at a time
There was a referendum setup for Alberta, in about six months, before the election took place. Bound to go ahead now, given Alberta is apparently. strongly Conservative.

considering Quebec has wanted to go it alone for decades and many Canadians west of there (ie all the Rest ) would be happy for them to sod off and go back to one language, less complications, and stop doffing their cap to childish whiny froggies who moan like the maori elite
It must be me, but the smug Tart that is the Minister of Finance, Nicola Willis, who talks down to everyone as if they are inmate in a Special Needs Unit at the local Primary School, pisses me off greatly with her language and her condescending smug attitude to all citizens of this country.
To Whit, in yesterdays pre Budget announcement, she said made this juvenile statement.
“There will be no lolly scramble in next months Budget.”
What the fuck does a “lolly scramble” have to do with a Budget and and why, with the most serious of State matters, does she have to reduce the subject to pre-school language.
Not just you.
The tart sounds like a 12 year old schoolgirl anyway.
Who could take Willyless seriously?
She is playing house with serious role and well out of depth.

Heard an interesting stat from a former FBI negotiator on a video this morning. Seems that around 3% of the US population are 6′ 2″ or over compared to CEO’s of of fortune 500 companies where the number is 39%.
Seems it should be height privilege that’s a problem rather than white privilege.
What I’m hearing is that I should emigrate to the States.
Hold my beer.
Just let me put on my invisible crafted height riser shoes.. ☺
à la Tom Cruise !
One would think that many of those basket ballers would be doing very well as CEO’s too, with their privileged height? ?
Or is that privileged height only to be used for market ads?
Then to make money from merchandizing?
Or is there a capped limit on height? or certain “height bands”?
those basket ballers
as Jack Nicholson referred to them

“NEW STUDY — Pfizer Recipients Face 37% Higher Risk of Death Than Moderna RecipientsStudy of 1.47 million Florida adults by MIT’s Retsef Levi and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo finds significantly higher all-cause, cardiovascular, and COVID-19 mortality after Pfizer vaccination.”
I would have respected the reverse as the moderna vax had a higher production of spike proteins. Maybe it’s to do with contamination levels.
Legal protection against “vaccine side effects” should be voided if the cause of death is vaccine contamination due to negligence on the part of the manufacturer.

A guy trained a gorilla how to play golf.
He challenged a semi-pro to a game of golf, the semi-pro vs the gorilla for $500.
First hole, a par 5. Semi-pro hits a nice shot, next shot could get him on the green.
Gorilla up next, swings and CRACK! The ball is out of sight.
Semi-pro gets to the green on the second shot and sees the ball that the gorilla hit is only 2 inches from the cup.
Semi-pro gets out his wallet and forks over $500. “No way can I can keep up with this”.
Semi-pro, as he packs up his clubs then says, “by the way, how does he putt?”.
Trainer says, “Same way”.
Now that as I said above, to hold my beer, while I put on customized height rising shoes.
As some 120 NZ’ers leave NZ every day, this guy articulates well the reasons what Canadians consider, and advice for them.

Five orange heavy rain warnings have been issued across Aotearoa.
Thank the wet heavens for that ! Phew.
at least we are safe in NZ.
Perhaps out Airforce can help out these Aotearowians
I hope they have good SatNav to help these coz I cant find Aotearoa on Google maps !!
Howie, “Aotearowians” now look Old Spoon, you have to know your Native Language and in particular, Know your Hori Speak.
You see, all May Oori words end in a Vowel, nothing else, no “N” no “S” no “Z” so you can not have, or be an “Aotearowians” or even a simple Aotearoan. You simply can be a Fella from Ao Tea Roa to give the place the original May Oori spelling from Mr Thomas Bracken in his fine book of “Musings From Maoriland”, Published 1890 (an Original Copy of which I have). So the current designers of all words Hori need to be looked at, by the Mouldy Language Commission and they need to come up with a word in May Oori that defines the good citizens of the place once known as Ao Tea Roa that ends in a Vowel.
I as a citizen of New Zealand, will no doubt have sleepless nights until this vowel situation is properly sorted.
…..”they need to come up with a word in May Oori that defines the good citizens of the place once known as Ao Tea Roa that ends in a Vowel.”…..
They have. Regrettably Te Potti Mouldi favour “Tauiwi” with all the connotations the word evokes.

Interislander ferry Aratere to be retired this year
The rail-enabled Aratere Interislander ferry will be retired this year to make way for critical port redevelopment at Picton.
KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy said the move was aimed at preparing the port for the two new, larger rail-enabled ferries scheduled to enter service in 2029.
awwwwww the poor old vikey will be hysterical that his choo choo trains cant go for a boat ride for a few years.
pretty retarded really, it just proves the fucking point that we dont need stupid rail enabled ferries dosent it. save more money and can the rail part of the ferries along with the portside rail bullshit theyre about to blow money on, we simply dont need it…. cue the vikey dimentia rage in 3… 2… 1…
Pity that from your hay pile, you have no idea what you are talking about. As per usual.
It doesn’t prove anything except the short-sightedness of the current National govt. (normal behaviour) When it comes to rail. Go study some of the rail that happens overseas, you might learn something new.
The alternative to rail is thousands of trucks, which may be alright down your farm lane, but next time you have a couple of days with nothing to do, come visit the gateway at Tauranga Port and see what 700 trucks a day looks like, and that’s without the trains. You have no idea what you are talking about, none at all.
Why would we be surprised?
1. rails slow, consumers are impatient.
2. rail dosent make shit any cheaper, probs opposite due to all the extra handling.
3. not all indians want to uber so they drive trucks.
4. who gives a fuck about mahes fuckup city of tauranga.
if we can go till 2029 without rail enabled ferries then why not go forever without them?
you do realise ditching the rail enabled ferries still means there will be rail in north and south island dont you ya dumb fuck???
although large tracts of the rail network should probs be scrapped but thats another topic.
youre stuck in the mid 1900s ya stupid old cnut, rail is dying its on life support in nz. our country simply isnt populated enough or suitable geography to make rail work for modern life.
btw your port whinge, thats just a rage boner topic for you anyways but you do fucking realise trucks can deliver to end destinations and trains cant???
so in your deluded world we would just blow billions, add cost and delays just so you could see 700 trucks line up at the railway yard instead of the port…. what a fucking winner you are 🙂
seriously old chap youre fucking retarded and dont think things through. next youll be telling us we need horse drawm carts to replace buses… go extinct ya old dinosaur
Pity that from your hay pile, you have no idea what you are talking about.As per usual.
I seriously wonder whether shunting 50 ton + tare weight wagons onto a ship is good use of the space available on a ferry. Apart from Nelson which doesn’t have rail access everything loaded on the present Cook Strait ferries is destined for north of Wellington or south of Christchurch.
Surely a box boat service between the two centres would make more sense.
Takes too long and would be out with the weather even more than the current fleet.
As for weight, plenty of 60-tonners are going onboard.
…..”Takes too long”……
I read somewhere that 100 containers/hour could be loaded or unloaded at a fast port. Even Port of Tauranga boast of a 10 to 16 hour turn around of box boats.
…..”would be out with the weather even more than the current fleet.”……
Many of the cancellations of the Cook Strait ferries are because of passenger discomfort. There’s no need for passengers on a Wellington/Lyttelton container ship. It could sail in most weather.
…..”plenty of 60-tonners are going onboard”……
Maximum gross weight of a 40ft container is a tad over 30 ton. The cargo (max 26ton) carried on a NZR wagon represents less than half of its gross laden weight. (50 + 4 ton).
….would make more sense….
C’mon Nas
you are referring to NZ Rail critters here .
get a grip !! when the guy appointed to be CEO of Govt Rail back in 2008 had no rail experience. He Had been in Courier companies for years.
But with Jim “the great traitor’ bolger made Chairman
– after he had sold off Rail in early 1990s as
it was not the job of Govt to run railways
he got his Catholic mate in as CEO.
See
the doolans DO stick together.
I’m getting tired of the doolans claiming 1.4 Billion catholic members with all the recent pope talk
That has to be a massive exaggeration .
It’s like most religion. Only those who are truly fucked in the head believe in Skydaddy. Most of them are “cultural” Catholics & their designated denomination of delusion is more of an indication of which football club they support.
Most of South America and fair chunk of places like the Philippines are catholic as well as a lot of Europe. Perhaps you don’t know those countries exist?

So therefore, with Awatere retired, there will now be no way to use rail transport to convey things between the two main islands; which is effectively a reversion to the way that things were before the introduction of the Aramoana in 1962.
It took a long time (Since approximately 1974) but with the removal of rail communications between Wellington and Picton, effectively the ‘Truckies’ have won the battle for transport in NZ, a situation not helped by a totally apathetic Kiwirail BoD, who have little or no ‘railway’ experience and are invariably ‘political’ appointees by whichever party is in power, and an inept senior Kiwrail management.
What goes around invariably comes around and so it proves in this instance…
The BOD wanted that to happen, but Willyless decided she knew better as her truckie mates said so.
That’s the same williless that howitis is so enamoured with.
His view is that she can do nothing right.
Well, this supports that view.
See, they can get away with no rail enabled ferries, when they want to!

I don’t know anything about The People’s Voice so I had a look. Yes it is reported there but looking at the headlines of their other news items, I have seen the majority of those stories reported elsewhere on other prominant news sites in recent days. So is this story true? We’ll wait and see.
from time to time curious has a bit of clarity and common sense, enough so to call out bullshit from fellow nutters sucked in by everything on the internet… but tommorow youll no doubt lose it and go full vaxtard again.

Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry and mother-in-law in property stoush 4:54pm
Retiring Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry is revealed as having a second difficult court case. (File photo)BRUCE MACKAY / The Post
This story was originally published on The Post and is republished with permission.
Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry and his wife Laura are in a bitter property dispute with her mother.
Suppression orders originally made at the Barrys’ request ended on Tuesday after they abandoned an attempt to have them continue at the High Court at Wellington.
They said in their application they were concerned that if the case became known it would likely prompt politically motivated harassment, when Barry had already faced a social media campaign at times “vicious and personal”.
