I guess it could be worse. You could be selling cars and trying to claim it is "art".

I'm gonna sound like a terrible old fart here but... what is the source of that massive bass sound? Coming from the harbour, waterfront, I guess? It's really fucking loud....

There's nothing nowt as corrupt as "professional sport." At least professional wrestling doesn't try to deny it.

Blackadder Eating Vegetables

I mentioned to S the other day, in passing, "I'd like to make a meal with, you know, some vegetables." "You've got a lasagne, don't you," she responded. "That has vegetables?" "Well maybe a vegetable."

It's still kinda odd thinking back on this, my 70s and 80s childhood. We didn't have a colour tv until about 1984. Didn't have even a VCR until about 1988. But. There was always books. So many books. And a library card. And a reserve and a river out the back, and a dog to walk, and imagination.

Damnit. Daylight savings starts this weekend. Time really does seem to pass more quickly the older one gets. It's all relative, innit.

The government has announced the Head Start programme for local government amalgamation is not going ahead. The government is responsible for a total waste of ratepayers' money, and it's totally unacceptable 🤯

I mean, isn't the best response to all of this is to ask everyone interviewing, taking content from Jordan Williams to ask "why are you interviewing this sex pest?" Thing is, it didn't work on David Farrar, either.

A Hager book isn't just a Hager book. First comes the book, then come the denial - which are actually really important for setting the goalposts for the next step, which is other journalists trying to establish the claims for themselves. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Cookery advice. If I were to cook down the ragu sauce, and the big ol' bechamal, etc. Layering down a lasagne this afternoon... you reckon it'll still be good to do the final bake in the oven on Friday? Just, I've lots of spare time this afternoon, and all the things for a lasagne.

Except, you know, the Obudsman's power is to essentially go "tsk tsk, naughty, don't do it again." And when they do it again? "Oh, naughty, I told you not to do it again!" The Ombudsman needs real enforcement power. Also, see, the "Independent" police conduct authority.

Watching this game of rugby and, whenever they mention "referee Paul Williams" I'm constantly disappointed it's not THAT Paul Williams. 'Where's the dorky white dinner jacket?" I wonder.

'buildings no longer require earthquake strengthening' reads like mission accomplished, whereas 'the requirement for buildings to be earthquake strengthened has been removed by the current coalition govt to reduce costs' reads as an indictment.

I know we're only two episodes in but... who else is absolutely loving David Fane on the latest season of Taskmaster New Zealand. He has an explanation. A story. For everything. Ok, maybe absolutely bullshit stories, but, damn does he tell them well.

Related: I'm still absolutely loving having our provincial rugby tournament on TVNZ+ Watching it, for free, with some great competitions - it's really drawn me back in as a fan of rugby union.
