If only the self-proclaimed “hard-working” right got as much shit for taking holidays as people on the left do for making money.

Luxon’s going to do a Key and go for a kickback knighthood from his successor. No one term PM or business ghoul should get a knighthood or damehood though #NZPol

Loving this by Joel Maxwell: "Perhaps the thing I find most offensive about culture warriors is their utterly unoriginal thinking. They are abject followers, disguised as leaders, desperate to prove they’re out in front when they’re actually about 40 years behind."

Even if you can get past the creator’s and rights holder’s awfulness, it’s too soon to remake this when people, and I dare say Cillian, are still mourning the generation of British acting legends that brought to life so many of these roles.

It’s great but I just can’t get past the Zimmer soundtrack retrospectively screaming Pirates of the Caribbean.

If you hated that you will hate the more recent Wild Mountain Thyme which has Emily Blunt and Christopher Walken doing Oirish accents every bit as well as you’d expect

Spencer and Bond were all hot air and surprise surprise the big developer buy out, like all Microsoft acquisitions, did not go well. People work at companies like MS to procreate, not create. They probably made them use Teams as well.

In 10 years Xbox will be reduced to just making controllers.

If MPs started making ageist comments about Winston we all know Brownlee would toss his roast swan drumstick over his shoulder and do something about it #nzpol

The Thames Valley cops or whoever came forward with the clinching bit of evidence must have a major beef with Andrew Windsor for this to have gone down on his birthday. Well played

I created a brand new FB account to flog some collectibles. I gave it my name, age, gender, neighbourhood and nothing else. The first posts on my feed were National, Luxon, NZ First, Peters, then Act (all blocked) until someone on the left (Hipkins) showed.

“Hi Lisa Carrington” says someone to a high-profile NZer appearing in a TV ad. Who greets anyone with first and last names?

Who else, apart from ad agencies, punches below their weight in New Zealand?

Commercial TVNZ is a huge threat to democracy. If you’re wondering who’s scheduling wall-to-wall slop, it’s their advertisers. You can’t vote with your feet when viewing figures don’t come into it.

Imagine the power they have over its newsdesks, and wonder no longer why they report as they do.

I watched The Eagle Has Landed the day before Robert Duvall died and marvelled at how he’s cast as third fiddle in it and effortlessly steals the show.

No sign of the next business wunderkind parachuting in for them, or that the public will fall for that again.

All they have are senile career politicians, sycophantic lobbyists, mean girls and conspiracy theorists.

Cozying up to fascists must mean Judith Collins has gotten over her shock at the relocation of parliament's Winston Churchill painting in August 2021.

At the time she said, "he was one of the very few political leaders who was prepared to stand up to the Nazis and fascists..."

This edit was 2013 and there’s been oodles of legit updates just to this paragraph since. Interestingly this was when Dirty Politics was in full swing. Hager’s book came out 2014.

I’d be nervous it would be a bit toxic for me, I’ve never edited Wikipedia before. Maybe more of us need to start!

Surely this heavily affects Peters’ base? Shows he only cares about cashed up seniors.

Photo of a printed article titled "Work, Work, Work". Article reads:
On about this date in 1801, Britain's first census was begun. In a subsequent survey conducted in 1881, residents were asked to furnish their "rank, profession, or occupation." Some of the more puzzling responses, as preserved by the London Genealogical Society, included:
• Colourist of artificial fish
• Knight of the Thimble
• Disinfector of railways
• Examiner of underclothing
• Invisible net maker
• Electric bath attendant
• Proprietor of midgets
• Fifty-two years an imbecile
• Knocker-up of workpeople
• Maker of sand views
• Gymnast to house painter
• Turnip shepherd
• Emasculator
• Sampler of drugs
• Fatuous pauper
• Drowner
• Count as female
• Fish-bender
• Goldfish-catcher
• Cow-banger
• Running about
• Grape-dryer
• Beef twister
• Random waller

Remembered this oldie after Simeon Brown suggested an antiquated occupation for the teens of NZ. It's from the same era his religious beliefs come from after all #NZPol

Track down ‘Detectorists’ from the UK. It’s the perfect comfort watch. Lots of gentle laughs with two hapless but lovable metal Detectorists and their fellow club members in the idyllic English countryside.
