I know I only got 15 % for school maths 37 years ago but how did the four hundred at the protest up Queen street this morning grow to two thousand now.?

15 % you Nerd. 🙂

However, I think the issue you noted is a lack of integrity and honesty, not mathematical ability.

Because we all know how pedantic ‘Judith’ is, especially when it comes to others.

The ‘truth’ as ‘Judith’ sees it.

See, I didn’t even point out your mistakes, I can tell that you are stressed. 😉

Still can’t comment on the case Goldnkiwi?

IT’s not the truth how I see it – it is the truth in black and white – the exact email/s as sent to Mr Muggins (except of course his real name isn’t muggins)

Can’t deny it Goldnkiwi – can’t fake it – the real McCoy – which shows exactly what Muggins said and was told, and his historical posts on here show exactly what he told the rest of us – a total misrepresentation of the email he was sent.

Good thing this blog exists really, because now those who sent the email to Mr Muggins know how dishonest he is – they were not ‘impressed’.

Are you serious? If so, do you think you should be commenting on here?

15%. As high as that?

That’s more than 10 fingers.

Jeess PEB.

Problem here is that you are myopic and simply don’t see the numbers as they are multiplied.

See the same shit today in the BOP Times over house values. They are roaring ahead, except that they dropped this month.
Oh dear.

Actually reinforces the poor outcomes from our schools. Can’t count and poor skills at analysis.
And we pay them what. 70K a piece.

I am glad to see that Judith Collins can recognise cyber bullying when she sees it.
Perhaps she has experienced it first hand?

Just watched some stupid tart telling us all that there is no room for Charter Schools in the PUBLIC education system.

Fail.

They don’t want to be part of that system.

Stupid Cripkins was moaning about giving money to them.. Perhaps they should ask him about Dear Leaders and new Leaders non taxable income.
Alms to the poor.

What fucking hypocites.

A blonde city girl, named Amy, marries a Colorado rancher.

One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy, ‘The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today. I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above the cow’s stall in the barn. You can show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?’

The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy takes him down to the barn.

They walk along the row of cows and when she sees the nail, she tells him, ‘This is the one right here.’

The man, assuming he is dealing with an airhead blonde, asks, ‘Tell me, lady, ’cause I’m dying to know – how would YOU know this is the cow to be bred?’

‘That’s simple-by the nail over its stall,’ Amy explains very confidently.

Laughing rudely at her, the man says, ‘And what, pray tell, is the nail for?’

The blonde turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, ‘I guess it’s to hang your pants on.’ 😆 😆

Once upon a time lived a beautiful Queen with large breasts. Nick the Dragon Slayer obsessed over the Queen for this reason. He knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them, but he had to try. One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Johnny the Physician, the King’s chief doctor. Johnny thought about this and said that he could arrange for Nick to more than satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1 000 gold coins to arrange it. Without pause Nick readily agreed to the scheme.

The next day, Johnny made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen’s bra while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense. Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Johnny informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick would work as the antidote to cure the itch. The King, eager to help his Queen, quickly summoned Nick to their chambers. Johnny then slipped Nick the antidote for the itching powder, which he put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen’s large and magnificent breasts. The Queen’s itching was eventually relieved, and Nick left satisfied and hailed as a hero.

Upon returning to his chamber, Nick found Johnny demanding his payment of 1000 gold coins. With his obsession now satisfied, Nick couldn’t have cared less knowing that Johnny could never report this matter to the King and with a laugh told him to get Lost. The next day, Johnny slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the king’s underwear. The king immediately summoned Nick.

From the Gay marriage thread

Dennis Horne (857) Says:
April 12th, 2013 at 1:57 pm

“@Judith. You really are stupid, Judith. Sorry, I don’t mean to be offensive but you are. Can you never see the big picture? In the general case marriage involves coition and offspring, just as in the general case a car has four wheels but some have three and a chair is still a chair even if one legs breaks off. You are a nitpicker and logic chopper, which is why you cannot make sense of the Bain evidence.”

This coming from the troll who thinks that ‘shaking’ Robins dead body is a plausible explanation for his position. Dennys explanations are simplistic and naive, this constitutes a ‘good understanding’ of the case
Dennis you are a complete and utter retard, your pathetic explanations are second only to Muggins as the biggest bullcrapper on KB!

We all know that muggins is a lying piece of c***. He can’t even remember what he previously posted and tries to pretend he didn’t. The amount of ridiculous conspiracy theories posted by him here is incredible. I find it hard to see how even his fellow witchsniffers take him seriously! he is a joke!

Meet the car that is slowly killing the Australian automotive industry. The Mazda3 is not a remarkable car, but is compact, reliable and, most importantly, sharply priced.

That formula has been enough to see the Japanese hatchback and sedan rise to the top of the heap in an increasingly congested market. The bad news for the local industry is that the Mazda3 is due for replacement by a new model – with cutting-edge engine technology – early next year.

But new projects aren’t getting ticks. This means that, as big as it is, Australia’s resources construction boom will soon turn down.

”The peak in resources investment is now close,” was how Reserve Bank assistant governor Christopher Kent put his official assessment in an address to the Bloomberg Economic Summit this week.

”Once it has passed, the decline in mining investment – and the effect of the still high level of the exchange rate and ongoing fiscal consolidation – will weigh on economic growth.”

A guy on his first night in prison is approached in the shower by a huge bodybuilder type .
He says to him, “As you’re new here, you get the choice”. “Do you want sex with, or without spit?”
The guy is thinking, with spit won’t hurt as much, so he says, “w- w -with spit”.

The big bloke shouts over, “Hey Spit, the new guy wants a threesome.”

Wasn’t for huge subsidies,(you know that dirty little political stuff), holden and Ford in Aussie would be history. Coming soon though as Aussies find out that they have been shafted by thier Unions.

It is a different situation here. That is why the proponents of redefining marriage are so against a binding referendum.

Huge landslide shuts Kennecott Utah Copper’s Bingham Canyon Mine

by an enormous landslide that smashed roads and buildings and left two-thirds of the pit base buried.

Nobody was hurt in the collapse at the massive open-cast Bingham Canyon Mine, run by Rio Tinto-owned Kennecott Utah Copper – largely because workers had been evacuated amid several weeks of warning signs the ground was going to shift.

You cared enough to comment Steve. I posted it when I saw it. I could have saved it for the morning but no doubt someone would have found something to grizzle about then too.

There’s a simple thing you could do, if it doesn’t interest you, ignore it. That’s what most people manage to do.

And, ah, no, I’m not sad. In a way it’s quite funny seeing the futile fulminating of the frustrated. Maybe it’s you who could do with a rest.

You want to know what the problem is Pete?

IMO it’s that everyone already knows the compromise position you always take on everything. That’s because people if interested in Issue A always but always work out in their heads what the mid-ground on Issue A is. Then they gauge their positions on the spectrum from there. That’s how people calculate politics.

Therefore when you post your mid-ground position on whatever, nothing you say is ever news [to us] simply because duh, we politicos already know it, we already worked it out for ourselves, der.

That’s the issue Pete. What the answer to it is, I don’t know.

I personally enjoy your contribution. It’d be good if you showed us more of your fiery side which must be in there since you wouldn’t keep on this if you didn’t have a passion for it. As I also do, of course.

It’s possible to be both polite and forceful at the same time and I personally don’t know why you don’t do more of that here. You’re clearly a grey hair therefore have wisdom, so show it and teach we young pups a thing or two by speaking what you feel without even thinking about it, rather than what you think Peter Dunne or whoever, would say were he responding to this.

You’re being funny too reid. What is the last compromise position you’ve seen me take?

I don’t think or speak for Dunne, at all. I speak here how I feel, when I’m not testing opinion, or fomenting (usually happily).

And while you seem to think you’re all knowing about “the problem” you obviously don’t have much idea really. Often enough I do passion (in my own way), I take strong positions, and that’s when I get the most flak, because the dissy fitters here don’t like being challenged and seem to prefer the safety of mindless criticism, and trying to shut out what they don’t want to see.

After all this time I thought some of you would have figured things out, but apparently not. I keep seeing the same old frustrations. In the meantime I’m happy with where I’m going.

No, apparently not Pete.

As I said Pete, we have always already figured out what your position would be before you even posted it, on each and every issue no matter what it is. You may hallucinate you’re adding to the conversation, but you don’t.

I don’t really care, you’re just another dude on the Kiwiblog threads, but that’s your problem and I’ve told you what I think would make a difference to your posts.

Otherwise just keep doing what you’re doing, and see what keeps happening.

A good game of footy just got back from the park. Conrad Smith is amazing, his work rate is unbelievable.

The game however can do without this 27 minute conflab to decide whether a try has been scored though, Steve Lauatua’s non -try was ridiculous

reid, like everyone else here I’ll keep doing what I choose to do. And I won’t be instructed, pushed, coerced, harrassed or browbeaten into not talking about things a small number of regular moaners take exception to.

If my comments were ignored that would be the end of them. If pissy dissers want to draw attention to what I say the manner in which they do that reflects on them more than on me.

Why the focus on me? Why not ask Moanolo or V2 where their passion is? Do they actually believe in anything that has any remote chance of happening? Or are they going to remain perpetual pessimists with no hope of getting what they want, so they last out at what they think are easy targets?
