Another proud Kiwi moment!

March 20, 2008

Look we’re first in the world!!!

New Zealand scored highest for thefts from cars..

Whoo HOO!!!

fifth highest for assaults, 10th highest for robbery and 11th highest for theft of personal property and for sexual assaults against women in The International Crime Victims Survey. The survey compared 30 countries in 2004 and 2005.

Remember you’re better off with Labour!

What a tuiad.

VOTE ACT! 


Shit we’re even leaving before we’re BORN these days.

Another kiwi who will never even see his homeland.

Well bugger me.

No one saw this coming.

Did they?

You know there are quite a few people and groups within New Zealand who take a dim view of threatening our PM.

Me. Most of the guys I served with, people with an ounce of belief in democracy, the New Zealand Police. Some other guys with initials that might stand for Saturdays and Sundays…. but doesn’t.

I don’t give a rats arse if you don’t like what we have-  and I’m asuming no one is going to be accusing me of being Helens numero uno fan - We have a system. Its clunky and fulls of holes and tends towards being abused. But its still a shitload better than people being full of holes under the one gun/one vote system. This is a can of very ugly worms.

The real problem we have now is that kiwis will quite simply NOT be able to grasp the reality of the threat.

When nothing else works a pig headed unwillingness to look facts in the face with see us through.


Hell I’d PAY to see it.

Storm sweeps navy’s boat away

Next you’ll be telling me someones nicked off with the army’s spud gun.

Perhaps the headline writer might like to go back to school for a bit. 30 -35 years might do it.


Things that are not “news worthy” in New Zealand.

April 2, 2007

Ten New Zealanders have been awarded the Bronze Star and seven have been awarded the United States Army Commendation Medal in recognition of exemplary service in Afghanistan between 2004 and 2005

These awards were made 16th October 2006. While Phil Goff played up the “peace keeping” side of what kiwis do on these deployments last I note that the NZSAS didn’t do a lot of bridge building for their PUC.

Here’s what the local media had to say.

Shhh.


Dinocam Update.

November 26, 2006

Yep, there’s our little purple dinosaur still keeping an eye on the White Island crater.

Some adhesive company really needs to look at cashing in on this.


The MSM Two-step.

November 10, 2006

So anyway a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine calls me all excited about the helicopter ride he got with a cool uber-steady cam to get footage for an animation he was working on.

As he said it’s fun to spend $17,000 of someone else’s money. Must be damn near tripping to spend $500,000 then I guess. I digress. consequently about 3.2 seconds after the Herald puts this up…

herald1.jpg

I get the outraged text message which involved some choice words re: the Herald and WETA. News flash for news people - New Zealand has more than ONE operation capable of animation work.

The work was in fact carried out by three Unitec Lecturers. David Rhodes - long hired podgey layabout and hard core tree hugger who is in no way related to “Toby” Rhodes the dog got himself on the electoral roll… other than having the same bloody minded dad of course. And his two co radicals Brett Oran and Zane Egginton.

A new company that is currently nameless but may well be called Three Radicals after I suggested it.

So anyway he’s giving me full rant when when he says “have to go, Herald on the other line”. What could this mean?
Well thanks to the miracle of of screen capture we can now show you the “after”….

Note the subtle yet Jackson eliminating change.

Does much of this go on do you think?

Well watch the animation anyway. It’s the nearest thing you’ll get to a finish stadium this side of 2010.

UPDATE: TV3 reports that the government turns to WETA to use the talents that brought us LOTR to produce this animation.

TV3 may now be found in the dictionary as a text book example of WRONG. Not made by WETA, not made by anyone who worked on LOTR, not made for the government. You can see the name of the company that paid for the work on the animation.

What is that TV3 “News” does again? Someone help me out here because every single time you look into any story they run you find it’s either not entirely accurate or is in fact completely without facts.


Banana Day in the Shire.

October 19, 2006

Actually yesterday was declared Banana Republic Day but I do work for living.

However here’s a little musical interlude from Whaleoil in the spirit of the band on the Titanic.

Good thing we have a bloody great big broad brown lifeboat to our left.


This is why we’re not a republic.

October 17, 2006

When it gets stupid, we have a safety valve.

In the army you have the OC’s hour, in a Democratic Monarchy you have HMTQ and her local rep.

To: His Excellency, Anand Satyanand, Governor General of New Zealand

We, the undersigned, being gravely concerned that the New Zealand House of Representatives intends to retrospectively legalise previous violations of the Electoral Act and thus usurp the Constitution of New Zealand and its democratic processes, earnestly petition Your Excellency, as representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Queen of New Zealand, that Your Excellency withhold the Royal Assent from any such legislation as an assertation that Members of Parliament govern subject to the will of the people of New Zealand at Her Majesty’s pleasure and not at their own.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Go forth loyal citizens and drop your head of state a line.

UPDATE: Greetings visitors from the pro-republican site. Read carefully - reading comprehension seems to be a weakness of republicans - I said “greetings”, not “welcome”. Lewis seems to have become confused into thinking we’re having a conversion. We’re not. This is a pro-Monarchist site, I do not encourage, link to, promote or provide readership to separatists. Before you waste your time typing comments, READ THE POST. Nowhere have I made any claims in this post regrading the powers of the GG. Lewis has, you can accept them or check his claims if you choose. What you can’t do is show up here after reading whatever nappy soiling howly bag he’s had, and claim I said things I haven’t. For the love of god people, you have eyes and a brain, do your own thinking and read before you type.

Kiwis in large numbers are pissed off, and being a democratic monarchy we have the right to petition the GG, regardless of the outcome. People want to speak up in these dark days as our democracy is being dismantled. Who the hell are you to try and shut them up?

And finally:

God Bless Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Head of the Commonwealth, Lord High Admiral, Supreme Governor of the Church of England (Defender of the Faith), Lord of Mann, Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces.
