What happened to my relaxed day? Add this story to Scoopit!.

Today was meant to be a relaxing day in Auckland, with only one meeting. But in the 24 hours since I said I was coming up here, today has become:

  1. Check out hotel at 6.30 am to go to TV3 (groan)
  2. Do Sunrise at 7.10 am
  3. Breakfast with Nick B at Chancery
  4. Meeting with a client at 10 am
  5. Conference call at midday
  6. Coffee with MF2 at 2 pm
  7. Chair a public policy committee meeting at 3 pm
  8. Drink with a friend at 5 pm
  9. Taxi to Airport at 6.30 pm
  10. Flight at 8 pm

Somewhere during the day, I also need to write the NBR column for tomorrow!

    suggestion for column..

    (seeing as you’ve been a natty for so long..know all the scandals/where the bodies are buried/the ‘secret agenda’ history..)

    ‘farrar spills his guts!”..

    (i’m sure you’d have enough to serialise it over a few weeks..

    eh..?..)

    Lounging in cafes, and boozing it up with a mate doesn’t sound too stressed out.

    [DPF: It is when I have 300 e-mails in my inbox and a column to write!]

    ouch! sounds almost as hard as my day…

    got to bed at 3am… drunk

    up at 730.. it hurt so bad i almost sobbed.

    sales meeting at 830… get the troops all motivated blah

    10am.. i plan on having the dump of the century.. drank a lot of vodka and some jagermeister so its gonna hurt.

    outta here at 430.. gonna have a brutal shoulder and leg workout

    squash at 630 for an hour..

    Here’s an idea, DPF. Get philu to write the NBR column for you, he’s got all day. Changing the sense of what he writes, like eliminating or inserting the word “not” here and there, for example, will be quite a quick process…….

    10. tired from busy day.. have puff.. puff.. to relax

  6. Murray (8,731) Says:

    I propose a “commenting limit” on DPF. Max comments in one day to prevent people with a secret agenda from hogging the comments because he doesn’t have a job.

    Well yes it does rather seem to only impact on phool doesn’t it.

    But unlike labours attempts to target oposition support I say make it for everyone. An even playing field for the unemploymentaly challenged.

    Give people who HAVE jobs a chance to have their say without wading through knee deep drek from the head cavity of socialist entitlement.

  7. ghostwhowalks2 (126) Says:

    I didnt kmow there was a position for self rightous busy body on KB.
    But Im sure Murray would be first in line with your clipboard at the ready, but if something stronger is required there is a legion of jackbooted followers bound to volunteer

  8. Lipper (2,207) Says:

    Not sure that I have any sympathy.

    Chatting with the Veronicas……..Italian Extraction……….Aussie……….twins………and Bisexual!

  9. Murray (8,731) Says:

    Ah yes the nazi reference from the socialist. The guys that put the socialist in national socialist. I put forwad the concept of giving everyone fair fair suck of the sav and wadda ya know I’m Hitler.

    We can’t possibly have any system that would apply to everyone could we. THAT would wrong.

    Cram it gaulighter.

    are you about 33-34..?..are you dime..?

    ..i ‘m just giving you a heads-up..

    .cos’..if that age..

    ..you haven’t got much longer for a lifestyle like that..

    ..eh..?

    ..you will either listen to your brain/body going ‘enough..!..’

    ..or you will ignore those calls to (alcohol) sobriety..

    ..and will slump into the rheumey-eyed mental/physical wasteland/disintergration/early death..

    ..of those who don’t know when to stop..

    ..eh..?..)

    ..and if we’re playing..’i'm more staunch/decadent/party animal than you..!’

    ..back in ‘the day’..

    ..i would start the day..with a (pre-prepared) hypodermic syringe loaded with heroin and cocaine..

    ..a large joint of cannabis and hashish..

    ..a strong perked coffee..(or two..)

    ..and a cigarette..(or two..)

    ..then i’d think about ‘getting up’

    (whoar..!..just thinking about it now..just makes me feel like having a cup of tea..and a wee lie-down..!..)

    How come I’m MF2? I am older than MF1 .. maybe I shouldn’t advertise that, he looks older than me (sorry Matt) … MF2 is fine.

    You look great by the way – hope your afternoon went well and your flight is uneventful.
