Slightly disturbing that the unprepossessing Chris Bishop, former tobacco lobbyist, decidedly economical with the truth (“I am a tenant so I know what it is like”) is looking like a better option with each passing day.
I was thinking something similar. Amazed that he is still Key's man despite his wittering incompetence. I have previously derived some amusement at the thought of Key cringing with embarrassment at his choice.
It seems Luxon skipped the embattled step to go straight to the terminally wounded animal stage.
And he has stayed with this name which says quite a bit about him.
What sort if name is Markwayne?
Especially when supported by JuCo with a mad gleam of delight in her eyes.
Am I correct in my memory of earlier times that when the overstayer numbers were analyzed, it turned out that more were from the UK and Europe than the Pacific islands?
I always want to ask Chris Bishop the date of the day when this country had no rain, no wind and no sun. Anywhere.
I read one of his Dubai books - maybe this one. Based on a ten day stopover which was underwhelming.
I may have uncharitably described Dubai as the arse-end of Earth, myself.
Agree. Introduced into commercial production by Duncan and Davies. Tagged by my Mark as "not one of VC Davues finest introductions".
The bulbs of February on the cusp of autumn in today 's #garden post. jury.co.nz/2026/03/01/f...
Dear F’ing Seymour, where are the private enterprises offering a viable, competitive alternative service to AirNZ to New Plymouth???? Even an expensive service is better than none.
Admittedly we have 4 meters but all low user and our bill is tipped to go up $66 a month.
Why does this make me think of Simon Bridges? And this man defending petrochem waste. www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-dai...
Or the head of Taranaki Regional Council's monitoring team drinking a glass of water to show it is 'safe' - can't recall now if it was polluted farm stream or fracking fluid.
Well look at that! A paramongia from Peru and Bolivia that has sat here without flowering for years stretching in decades. I was a bit stunned that Mark could dredge its species from the depths of his memory banks, never having flowered it.
He would not be above chasing a cyclist, I fear, especially if they looked like a rat, cat or bumblebee but he is not going to lock onto a human leg and pull them off their bike.
It is a mystery to me that we did not hear the ambulance and the local grapevine has failed to inform me of this dramatic event.
Ralph would like it known that it was not him who attacked the cyclist just interviewed on RNZ, who was attacked and bitten on the small road that forms our bottom boundary. He has not been impounded, is not a staffy x German pointer and would never dream of biting passing cyclists.
I did not last the distance either. I bailed after his diatribe on Chloe.
This twat must be one of the most arrogant and stupid men I have seen.
The trouble is that good people back away and it becomes dominated by people I would never seek out to spend time with and it is very hard to escape those voices that I can avoid in real life.
I don't understand why the low NZ dollar is not getting more attention. I feel like if we had a left wing govt, they would be getting hammered. Has it not yet hit at the petrol pump (genuine question - I drive electric)?
Obsessive conspiracists, I think. And on the lower side of the intelligence bell curve.
Today I learned from the dreaded Facebook that Jacinda Adern, amongst her many other crimes against humanity, had close ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Well who'd 've thunk it? Maybe the same people blaming Tamatha Paul for Wellington's poocalypse.
