	Got a phone call from a mate.  He's in invercargill golfing.  Do you want any oysters?  Hell yeah.  How much? 
</p>

<p>
	$35 a dozen a grade.  $42 for 2dozen seconds. Ordered 2 dozen a grade.  I normally buy from shop on main south rd hornby.  $50 dozen cooked. 
</p>

<p>
	So I just ate a dozen raw in malt vinegar with lots of white pepper.  Very yummy.  A dozen frozen to cook in batter later. 
</p>

<p>
	I shout myself a couple of times a season anyway. 
</p>

<p>
	The Mrs B refers to Michelle Boag. However the Mr X doesn't always want to be disclosed so lets just keep it a secret.
</p>

<p>
	Now the Mrs B and Covid data leak with the intention of harming the government was just too devious to be credited to Mrs B. Not so MrX. Being neighhbours and both wanting to crawl up the National Party staircase therefore a natural marriage and shall we say plotting.

<p>
	Who is making these so called threats? Can't be skin heads or "white supremisists" or is it being dumbed down to appease Islam like the changing of the name of the 'crusaders' franchise....why are we losing our culture in our country, why is our leader wearing an hijab which is a symbol of oppression for millions of women around the world? I am proud of all the Anzac veterans who fought for our freedoms.... unfortunately the left all over the world are slowly giving our culture and freedom away.

	Bizarre situation where NZ media are not allowed to name the accused for the backpacker murder but it's plastered over all the online editions of the UK newspapers.
</p>

<p>
	Vile little scumbag by the way.

<p>
	I had to allow myself a wry smile about the Jamie-Lee Ross shenanigans playing out in our political arena at present.
</p>

<p>
	National Party not long ago making a big song-and-dance about low-level issues involving a couple of government flea-weight ministers Curran and can't even remember the name of the other one, Whaitiri I think.
</p>

<p>
	Now National's No.1, Simon Bridges, right under the pump and the National Party staggering from blow after blow dealt to them by one of their former likely lads.
</p>

<p>
	Looks like Winston was right on the money. Simon will be gone by Christmas.

<p>
	Watched yesterday as a former Nazi was deported from the US to Germany.
</p>

<p>
	The US citizen was 95 years old,a widowed with no children and suffering from denentia and other illnessess.
</p>

<p>
	He will spend the rest of his life in a nursing home in Germany.
</p>

<p>
	A jewish lady (whose parents were killed at his camp)was interviewed and said that justice had to be done.
</p>

<p>
	I just hope that the Israelis remember this when they are finally taken to task for their crimes.
</p>

<p>
	Not taking sides,just want justice for all.

<p>
	Channel surfing last night and came across a great doco called The Wrecking Crew.
</p>

<p>
	Basically it was a story of how a group of talented musicians were used by bands to play the music for their recordings but virtually apart from being paid,recieved no recognition.
</p>

<p>
	One of the bst music docos' i have seen.

<p>
	I don't like a lot of those pretentious, egotistical TV people, but I liked Greg Boyed.
</p>

<p>
	Don't know him, never met him, but he appeared as a guy who had it all together.  So it was with quite a bit of surprise and sadness that I read this morning that he had ended his own life
</p>

<p>
	As per a quote from his friend, "he was fighting hard to keep that black dog away"
</p>

<p>
	Just watching and enjoying his style on TV, how would you ever know

<p>
	A lot of debate currently about freedom of speech, but are there not laws in NZ(see below), about hate speech.
</p>

<p>
	Where does this sit with respect to the 2 current issues
</p>

<p>
	"New Zealand prohibits hate speech under the Human Rights Act 1993. Section 61 (Racial Disharmony) makes it unlawful to publish or distribute "threatening, abusive, or insulting...matter or words likely to excite hostility against or bring into contempt any group of persons...on the ground of the colour, race, or ethnic or national or ethnic origins of that group of persons". Section 131 (Inciting Racial Disharmony) lists offences for which "racial disharmony" creates liability."

<p>
	No disrespect, but Simon Bridges does come across as a bit basic.
</p>

<p>
	How long before the Nats axe him?
</p>

<p>
	Whereas the Princess blossomed as soon as she took the reigns of the Labour mob, Simon has shown nothing, charisma, leadership etc etc

<p>
	1.....5 day workers will want more pay
</p>

<p>
	2.....4 day workers will spend more money on leisure/running out of money a lot quicker
</p>

<p>

<p>
	For many years I have been a fan of the Kiwi cartoon.
</p>

<p>
	Footrot Flats (Murray Ball) has always been a beauty but some of our newer generation are setting a high standard as well.
</p>

<p>
	Political cartoons which take the piss can be hit and miss, so the underlying point being made has to be subtle but ensure a smile on your dial.
</p>

<p>
	When I saw this one this afternoon by Emmerson online,  I had a chuckle.
</p>

<p>
	Goober Goff is thinking about a shit tax to fix the sticking sewerage situation in Auckland.
</p>

<p>
	This cartoon may not be too far off the mark if that happens.
</p>
