I have purchased at $29.99/kg in the very recent past. You generally have to pay the Sealink tax on the island but, I guess, my point was that you can get NZ lamb in NZ at a price similar to the ludicrously low Euro prices! Just about. Sometimes.

$29.99/kg in Woolworths right now, even on the island, think the frozen legs are under $20/kg.

Well I left the orange one on the floor of my bedroom one night and awoke in the small hours to see a disembodied head, illuminated by a shaft of streetlight coming through the curtains, and it scared the shit out of me, briefly. So I can’t listen to that now without seeing the undead.

That’s as old as my my mum. I don’t know if that’s important but good luck.

I don’t see any need for that display to even be there when everyone knows a mysterious stranger delivers them by creepily entering your bedroom under the cover of night and placing them on your bed.

Definitely need to find more good feeds on here because at the moment it still isn’t as good as the other place, when you have carefully curated your feed to avoid the nonsense. Please help.

I think my dog is a jazz critic, she has been growling at Art Blakey and Melody Gardot on the TV but is transfixed by Jimmy Smith, Nina Simone and Ramsey Lewis. Seems a bit annoyed by Katie Melua but fairly non plused.

Same except we won some games 4-3, or 6-4 and he was still moaning about how it should have been 5-0. Except his teams can’t defend.

Which must mean there is quite a lot of Joe Royle’s Ipswich in this Barcelona side.

Maybe they should have shared them out a bit.

I’m enjoying the mockery that Arsenal have just made of the daft xG nonsense. Scored 7, xG of under 2.

I believe the first two were TV catch phrases, not stand ups, so maybe even older!

Finally, bluesky is making sense and becoming relevant. I’m not joking, this is like twitter 5yrs ago. Or MySpace 20yrs ago. Or the pub 30yrs ago.

Can’t wait to hear them do Dominion/Mother Russia.

Favourite thing out of Aus, it’s nice to see that after 30yrs the Antipodeans finally get dance music. open.spotify.com/track/733ZMp...

And my favourite tune of this year has been … a re-working of an 11 year old song that was definitely around in 2023 but I think officially released in January 2024 … youtu.be/QAuv5X8VCX0?...

Yay, December 1st, it’s that special time of year when music lists come out!! Like decorations, not allowed before.

Urgh. Who is responsible for that, we need answers.

Difficult to tell as i can’t make out the leaves but, given where it is and the breadth of the boughs, I’d guess Pohutukawa.

Largest incidence of cars overtaking you in a hurry that have on the back a bumper sticker saying ‘SLOW DOWN YOU’RE HERE’. Also Waiheke.

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Largest incidence of bumper stickers telling the car behind to ‘SLOW DOWN, YOU’RE HERE’. Definitely Waiheke.

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Largest incidence of vanity plates telling EVERYONE where you live is definitely WHYEKE (don’t think I’ve seen that one so shouldn’t annoy anyone). #waiheke

I’d only vote for two on this list so I did.

I was starting to find this place a little dull but this is better content. I haven’t seen this yet, too big or too small?

An aside - I haven’t heard the word ‘milquetoast’ for a while and it’s now looping on my internal jukebox accompanied by that badger badger badger snaaaaake tune so thanks for that 😂

Probably a while, given how tricky it is getting her to give up the rabbits she’s caught.

My response was directly and only referring to this comment, you must be thinking of someone else’s comment?

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Sure - but does that makes it 18% less working class? I haven’t seen statistics on that.

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

And, fwiw, I agree with the OP about Palmer but conflating her opinions with her living on Waiheke is just lazy, crass and more befitting the other place we used to inhabit.

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

It quite literally IS insulting to generalise on such fractional statistics.

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

I’ll be sure to tell this to all my colleagues in retail, all the tradies, the hospos, all the medics and teachers and gardeners who live/work on the island and only have one home. But thanks for your sweeping generalisation. Not even sure why i’m bothering to respond to this lazy stereotype.

damon_th @damonth.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Indeed. Be less Thatcher (Maggie not Ben, tho’ wait, yeah either). But, yeah, same, insomnia is pffrt. First time i’ve used ‘pffrt’ since about the 2002.
