God defend new zealand...

New Zealand is under attack from  pin heads that want to change the flag.
They think its ok to just do whatever they like.
They somehow think they are experts on marketing and branding and they know whats best.
I dont think so.
Because New Zealand has a unicameral parliament then all they need is a 50% majority but these people have never read a history book in their lives.
They think their own thoughts are facts.
They marshall spurious arguments dredged up by spin doctors who themselves are parvenus that are driven to make their mark on the world.
They are being led by a carpetbagger who was head hunted by a PR firm and who took $80,000,000 with him when he left Merril Lynch and now thinks he has a mandate to make corporate changes as if New Zealand was just another company.
Well He is wrong and he is about to be flagged in the next general election.
Playing fast and loose with the very fabric of a society may seem like fun to an upstart but the reality is about to start to bite.
New Zealand is not a brand of fizzy drink that can be reformulated at the whim of some executive with too tight underpants that has nothing better to do than to fiddle while the rest of the country burns..

top ten writers of the twentieth century...

At the moment it is the New Zealand Festival of the Arts.
You have never heard so much back scratching and belletristic bullshit in all your life.
They all over the radio in the mornings telling everybody how much they learned in a creative writing course or lit 101 but none of them are wortha pinch of sh*t.
hehehehehehehehehehe.

found a 50c vhs of Never Love A Stranger the other day. A bit dated but it still contains dramatic power that very few NZ books or movies have ever matched.
When Spielberg was Filming Empire of the sun he always had a back pocket full of Marvel comics to give to his juvenile lead.
See that's the problem in NZ.
none of the noo noo heads read comics.

unnerstan?

now ya friggin intellectual ivory tower pinheaded tightwads worried about yer mortgages and all the other piffle get on amazon and get some real reading material!

Hannah Ockleford
never watched so much codswallop as last night on the trans man.
lesbianism is a psychological desire to spite the father.
No memory that was obtained before language acquisiton is capable of being expressed in language.
unnamed fears anyone?
and if you go back and listen to what that person said then you will get the message loud and clear.
anger!
alcoholism!
I am sick of show and tell bullshit on TV.
Just because you have aheart doesn't make you and expert on physiology or heart surgery.
Get off your asses and do some proper research you liteweights.

the wind blew and the sh*t flew....

So we stayed inside for an hour or two!

Banal poltroons;
again.
Radio New Zealand again:
Kathryn Ryan always trying to adopt vocal affectations. e.g. sydrum when talking to a doctor, yeah.
nah kathryn.
and havinga whole gaggle of drongos arguing about whether a 3d printer can print gold is not a debate.
Its just a whole lot of idiots yabbering.
thats the kiwi way mate.
yabber yabber yabber.
and another score for the banal poltroons in this case the New Zealand Customs Service/department/sitcom/episode claiming that 3d printers can print gold in the first place.
yeah right.
Its no wonder the head of the public service has to publicy procaloim the neutrality of the Public Service.
this should be axiomatic and not some new novelty that has just arisen.
Thats another score for the banal poltroons running the show.
British Blues Boom.
They really did it properly.
First skiffle and then folk and then Blues.
Those guys were competitive and able.
Jeff Beck.
Eric Clapton.
Jimmy Page.
They took it to a whole new level and made something new and vibrant and they learnt how to play their instruments without pro tools and vocoders.
hmmmmm
thats the way the world is now.
everyone looking for an easy way.

TRANZIT Masterton.time to put decent horns into your buses.
This little turd deliberately walked out in front of a bus this afternoon.
I asked the driver why he didn't use the horn and he said was ineffective.
If the driver had hit this noo noo head then a mob would have gathered and another made for TV drama produced.
Is this what modern civilisation has come to?

and another one for Masterton.
It seems as if a whole new generation of little turds has arisen who think it is cool to go down to the park lake at lunch times with un muffled cars and pollute the park with their decibels.
What has happened to public order and decency/
Why do these little shits get away with it?
where are the town fathers who are supposed to look after the interests of the citizens.
Its all just post modern pandering and running away from anything difficult.

Nyway the local poltroons think I hate machinery.
Actually I am neutral.
I dont give a shit.
If they think they are free just because they jump into their plastic replica hotrods and drive from A to A on a sunday afternoon then thats their business.
What I give a shit about is nitwits making a big noise just because they have a small penis and want everyone else to look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I hope the new Police Commissioner takes the bull by the horns and gets his legal team on to the laws about public nuisances and noise and gives them hell.

banal poltroons rool...

The Salvation Army Family Store in Masterton has a whole boxful of vhs vids and I have really mined a large but not comprehensive seam of John Wayne flicks. (50c ea!!!!!!!!!)
Some of his oaters were a bit corny but the good ones are excellent.
see above.
Have just bought the Lacy Dalton CD. Its a pearler.
Re bullying in New Zealand on the interweb.
New Zealadn is full of talkers and slimeballs.
They never face up but skulk and creep.
They are aided and abetted by the media who present this constant diet of serial killers and smartasses on the teavy and all the creeps think that is what life really is.
They also have the slime sites like wail boil and kiwi blag and triedme opinions to air their bigotry and bias and racism and vitriol and hatred because they are slimy little shits themselves.
Nobody is honest in New Zealand.
Its all sub rosa and hyperbole that means nothing.
everybody knows the words but they cant do anything because they are ineffectual or some accountant is pulling their strings.
Its all pretty tawdry.
Plus New Zealand is overpopulated with morons and the good jobs are taken by timeservers and banal poltroons.
hmmmmm.
what can we do about this/
'In their lives there's something lacking.
what they needs a damm good whacking!'
Piggies
The Beatles

my time went so quickly....

I went lickety splitttly.
out to my ole '55.
Yes indeedy.
got a worn out throwaway from the library on Saturday.
Classic American Cars.
They don make 'em like that anymore.
nooooooo.
they dont make anything like that anymore.
Kevin Sapcey is great in HOuse Of Cards.
Kathryn Ryan was diuscussing it with Jack HItt on RNZ this morning.
Hitt says Washingtonis now governed by banal polotroons.
He is right.
They over educated nitwits who don tknow anything.
Oh I forgot.
They are postmodernists to the core so only their own truths count and they are flimsy to the max.
self obsessed one bookers.
They read all the exerpts for their papers buyt they never read the meat.
Ryan also talke to Barbara Mcmillan who is in NZ for writer week or something.
Her genre is war and history.
She talks of Princip who never would take responsibility for WW1.
another self obsessed fool with limited outlook.
A spoilt brat.
He wanted what the Habsburg Empire had provided but HE wanted to be in charge.
another banal poltroon.
Had to laugh at an Item on Inbox login from USA today claiming that 'most' Americans dont  think Obama is respected globally.
How many are 'most' Americans and how do the most Americans polled by Gallup form that opinion and do most of the globe share that opinion?
Thats what I would like to know?

The altar Song... Charlotte Dawson

Farewell Charlotte.
You were too big for New Zealand and too big for Australia.
You were made to be a screen Goddess but the only thing left was a box in the living room
R.I.P

ted nugent redux....

I see Ted is blowing his mouth off again.
Taking swipes at the President of the United States.
Wellhis music is no bloody good so I suppose he has to do something to get his name in lights.
Just because he sneaks around in the woods with a bow and arrow he thinks he is a tough guy.
I dont think so.
He just another geek who bought himself an electric guitar to make a loud noise and nobody listened then and they dont now.
Tough shit Ted.
Why doncha just grow up and zip it.
I saw ya on a tv show and you couldn't even look the camera in the eye.
Been looking for Robert Mitchum movies for my dvd player.
I gues I am going to have to go on Amazon and pay full price.
Now Robert Mitchum was the genuine article.
Not some feeb with an electric guitar trying to be somebody.
Robert Mitchum was somebody without even trying.
dig.

Watched the Al Jazeera special on child coal miners in India last night.
Well Al Jazeera said it was happening and the mine owners and the government bureaucrats said it wasn't.
Who do you believe?
My vote goes to al Jazeera.

And I hear people are taking potshots at the Salvation Army family shops for putting up their prices.
No doubt they have but they have overheads too and nobody goes away hungry if they are truly in need.
The argument that they are given the stuff doesn't wash either.
They are given the stuff to sell because that is the only way they can do things in the material world.
Seems to me that a whole lot of opinionaters are confusing the Family Stores with Antiques Roadshow and are getting their tits in a tangle becuase they cant find a lalique item for 50c and sell it for $20,000 on Trademe.
Well take a hike.
