Gillard Government M.O.A.F.U’s.
Australian Labor Party Policy, can be likened to a runaway train, traveling at full throttle, down a very steep incline, on tracks that lead to the mouth of a tunnel, that has not been built yet.
Should the engine be turned off now and the brakes applied, the shear momentum of this M.O.A.F.U. dictates the inevitability of the train reaching its final destination.
Auckland Sky City Casino – Duty of Care – Nope!
“A picture speaks a thousand words” as the saying goes…
A man can’t even take a leak in their toliets without the self promotion. Where’s the picture that says, hey, haven’t you been here long enough and it’s time to go home to your kids.
These pricks at Auckland Sky City Casino take the punters money after they’ve had a few beers/wines – as they do – oh I mean the GOVT allows it to happen – read between the lines here…
Let’s think about it, we have laws against selling to intoxicated people, let alone people that have had one too many before gambling (nope we don’t, do we?) – but the GOVT doesn’t really care. Take a peek inside the Casino at any given night – what do you see? – PEOPLE THAT CAN’T AFFORD TO BE THERE – and – PEOPLE THAT ARE ON WELFARE!!!!
Back to the DUTY OF CARE aspect as the title suggests – The casino has a gazillion camera’s watching you, yet, 1) they allow you to gamble when you shouldn’t really; and 2) when you hit the car park after they have tucked you of all your hard earned $$$ – they aren’t anywhere to be seen – the cameras that is, and lets face they have a BIG car park.
After you drive out of there – again ‘DRIVE’ – because you’ve got no money left to get a cab….. Do these wankers care that you might get nabbed by the revenue cops?
What about the money laundering from drug trafficking that goes on because the Sky City Casino doesn’t inform the Revenue Police. It’s not until the Revenue Police notify them and suggest they want to monitor yet ‘another’ of one of their regulars.
When is this GOVT going to start punishing Sky City. This company is clearly the biggest money launderer assisting outfit in the country!!!!!
NOPE!!!! Can’t seeing it happening in the short term future – lets just keep reading about it in the papers, year on year on how another drug dealing scum bag has cleaned a pile of money – a few million normally – through Auckland Sky City Casino.

Handshake Shop opposite North Shore City Council
That’s right, directly opposite the North Shore City Council – this is fucking hilarious or what.
One of my pals owed me a favour and he says, “I’m taking you to a special place mate because you’re such a good bastard”. Anyway, we arrive, haha, it’s a handshake shop just over the road on “The Strand” from the North Shore City Council in Takapuna, less than 100 metres away.
The trouble was on the day the talent was a bit shabby so I took a rain-check.
“X” marks the spot, it’s down a little bit of a driveway off “The Strand”. What if all the swanky people in Takapuna knew this was here? There would be a few toffee noses out of joint for sure.
I personally think these shops are the best thing since sliced bread, I especially love the part when the little cutie says “can you please turn over” and she then spends a couple of minutes trying to work out how to broach the subject of a hand-job for an extra $20. My usual reply is “what!!! I can do it myself for FREE”. Of course, the downside is when you’ve got about 9 (nine for you academics) grubby mates like I have who frequent them often and who make comments along the lines…… “mate, if my wife asks, I was with you yesterday afternoon”. It makes me wonder why I am frowned on by these women (the wives that is), well at the very least not invited over for the occasional big dinner.
Recalling – a recent trip to China and in the flash restaurant, my young mate Todd, I think he’s only about 25 said to me right in front of the money sucking witch I was dating at the time – “is it true that 17% of all Asian girls who go to NZ to study work in prostitution?” – well $&*# me, I almost chocked on my ham and pineapple gourmet pizza. I asked him why he thought that, and he reckoned it was published in the main paper up there one day.
So you send your pretty little daughter half way round the world to study and not give her enough pocket money and she’ll then have a one in five chance of shaking hands with a very large selection of willing customers.
What’s even more thought provoking is that this is probably true…. Take a drive around any Auckland suburb these days and look for the signs “MASSAGE”, “TRADITIONAL” etc…. They’re EVERYWHERE.

Confiscate Church Lands and Buildings
Well, if I am ever fortunate enough to sort this country out, one of the first things I will put into law is the confiscation of all church lands and buildings. In fact over time I’ll probably outlaw religion totally.
One drives around Auckland and they’re everywhere – church’s that is. Normally they’re closed, not even open for a homeless person.
The question has to be asked – how did they acquire the land and the buildings in the first place?
Some are very old indeed, so one can only imagine that the Bishop of the time said to the invaders can we have a bit of that and a bit of that and a bit of that over there. Then a bunch of people who had a fear of dying built the glorious buildings from their time/labour and materials that they donated so they could ensure a spot in heaven.
We could solve all the Maori land grievances by giving them half the confiscated properties. The rest could be used by community groups and the like.
Globally, as we’ve evolved, a little in the last 50 years, it does not surprise one to learn that recently McDonalds became the largest property owner in the world, surpassing the Catholic Church.
Consultants or just plain tossers
“Consultants are people who come down from the hill to shoot the wounded after the battle is over”. – Anonymous
So my last overnighter to Wellington, our capital, I recall two plonkers at both airports as follows.
Plonker 1 – In Auckland, I had to listen to this high and mighty woman who worked for Telecom, ring their contracted Taxi firm to bitch and moan how she was ripped and that as she booked her ride over the Internet and the fact she was a Telecom Corporate client she needed to be treated a bit better. This dribble went on for almost 10 minutes as she spoke with about three different people at the Taxi office. Thank goodness her cellphone is covered by that big company and even better I didn’t end up sitting next to her for 45 mins on the way down.
NEWS FLASH – Air New Zealand seem to have upped their game with the warm fuzzy stuff, but I think their new in flight safety video is a bit over the top with the Kiwiglish – no foreigner is going to understand it apart from the Aussies. Mr Sum So from North Korea here visiting his daughter in one of our fine English schools (more on this later) wouldn’t have a clue how to work out where the emergency exists are after viewing the blurb.
Plonker 2 – At Wellington, this cheesdick about two metres away at the gate whilst the plane was delayed rang about four people, requesting RFP’s and advising KPI’s etc etc, blah blah. Of course before he started his dribble with each caller he had to say, “I am about to board a plane”…… What is it with people that ring everyone that they think will give a shit that they are on a flight shortly. What I couldn’t understand is Air NZ broadcast a message that we’d be 30 minutes late, but I guess on his hourly rate he was ready to go.
One thing I have noticed about consultants over the years apart from the fact that they are all academics is that they typically fail to understand they have two communication devices attached to the sides of their heads which outweigh in numbers the mouthpiece.
I really have to find better topics to write about.
Air NZ and imported ingredients
The muesli bar was yummy, but one would have thought it would be made in NZ from NZ ingredients.
You would think that Air New Zealand could at least source a locally made product for an on flight snack – mutants!
Gosh, get it together…
These dorks should be paying me to be in charge of marketing, I’ll do it for half the salary package.

Telecom – Late Payment Fee – 34% of bill!!! WTF!!!
Well the biggest bunch of turkeys do it again. I forget to pay my bill and the new one arrives with this highly inflated extra called a Late Payment Fee – EXTORTION a better term – see picture below.
Notice how it states GST exempt? Why? Well it’s not a fucking good or service is it – it’s a fucking rip-off.
Loyal customer for years and they pull this stunt, another word – WANKERS. They obviously need this fee to top up their corporate taxi account.
These are the same WANKERS who when you ring up to do a one off payment on your c/card to your account they charge you an extra fee and read a script as follows “The credit card company charges you this fee not us” – WTF, again, WANKERS.
On another note check out this AWESOME Telecom ad on YouTube (a bit old now, but still speaks the truth insofar as Telecom is concerned).

Last Two Online Dates
Well to say the least, it is hard to find a decent bird on one of these sites. Having been a stakeholder in a big online dating site years ago I know all the typical stats and male/female ratios. It’s a bit depressing really when you’ve got an idea of the real deal in relation to how many blokes are on these sites for every girl.
Anyway, lacking a bit of company and tired of hanging out with birds that just want to be pals with no hanky panky but are quite happy for me to pay for lunch or dinner, I thought I’d give the Friend Finder (opens in a new link) a go.
Now, it’s the modern world and I have harped on about this in earlier blog posts, but I am a little reluctant to give a girl a second chance if she can’t pitch in on the first encounter with the bill. Now in my mind I am certain it’ll be a cold day in hell before I try online dating again especially after the last two turns.
Date #1 – cute as a button, 10 years younger, really dark too (from Africa), curvaceous, wore the dress like just ‘wow’.
We meet as agreed at a cafe, but she suggests that it isn’t suitable and perhaps we can try a local place close to her home. Mmmh, ok… so we arrive, and she wants a wine, hey no problem, better than a coffee I suppose. Trouble is, this place does a half glass and a fuller glass for $17 each. Then she orders a decent meal so one has to follow suit and I am thinking the $7 for coffee meeting has turned into $70.
Before she orders another I am suggesting we’re out of there as I have work to do that afternoon. So off we both go to pay the bill – the guy tells me $68 and where is she? Standing about three metres behind me, WTF!!!
Date #2 – the Russian girl. Now normally I wouldn’t give one of these the time of day, but she wasn’t all dolled up as they do and she appeared to be kind of normal. NB, I have experience with these ones after spending three weeks in the Far East (but that’s another chapter, probably a book).
So we’re at the restaurant, fortunately my mate owns it, and he’s a legend and so I am in for a discount. Surprisingly I am enjoying her company, we chat for two hours about many arenas of life. Also, she isn’t a ‘pig’ so the bill isn’t going to break the bank. It’s time to wrap it up and we’re off to the counter to pay the bill – wait for it – She has to go wash her hands – I linger back towards the bar, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting – finally I go and pay the bill and as soon as the EftPos unit indicated ‘ACCEPTED’ she appears.
I’m in two minds, one, it was a good date, two, well, I got screwed.
Next she’s insisting on a coffee somewhere and persuades me to recommend a place. So off we go to where I get 50% on the deal. But as we arrive and park she wants to try the adjacent establishment, argh! Time goes by and again we’re talking and talking – what an interesting, intelligent woman etc. Two coffees and two rounds of snacky type things that she wanted to try. But hey, she’s a doctor and earning good money apparently so it shouldn’t be an issue – she’s going to play fair surely……
After almost two more hours I am feeling a bit whacked and it is time to go – wait for it – no offer – nada – zilch. She was as quiet as a mouse, so again I am looking at another ‘ACCEPTED’ screen.
You guessed it, she didn’t get another opportunity either to tuck me.
If you’re a nice girl out there reading this or a taker (I can’t tell it seems), just look for me if you want a free lunch or dinner, I live in Auckland and can be spotted quite easily – I have a neon flash on my forehead ***ACCEPED*** / ***SUCKER*** it alternates.
