Bit of shitty footage I took when myself and Dalai went down to watch our good pal Jason George play for BCC.

Sick Burn
December 3rd, 2009Absurdities abound, the first of which was the appointment of people like Dr Brash and Mr Caygill who, along with their soulmate, Act Party seat-warmer Roger Douglas, are not just yesterday’s men but last century’s men.
When even Garth George calls you “last century”, you’re clearly doing something VERY wrong.
Super Simple Cover Letter
November 19th, 2009
I sure like the look of where this interview is heading.
I always have people asking me for help with cover letters. I don’t know why, since I’ve had maybe 2 formal interviews in my life, but here we are. This is my quick and simple cover letter. Don’t ask me if it works or not, but it will save me typing it out again in future.

DonateNZ – The “Who”, “How” and “Why”
September 14th, 2009Claire is a friend of mine who, along with her family, has put almost everything into getting DonateNZ off the ground. DonateNZ is a charity that runs a website that connects people with something to donate and needy organisations who can make use of that something.
Her latest blog post is an explanation of what they’ve gone through to get it where it is today, and what they struggle with. Well worth a read, and a great cause to support.
Trip Report: Greggs Jellytime Cold Water Jelly
August 11th, 2009WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?!?! Jelly that is made with cold water and sets in an hour? This had to be tested.
2 cups of water, stir in jelly using a whisk, and whisk for 2 minutes. Stick in fridge. End product looks like jelly, with the exception of a rougher surface.
It’s slightly wobblier than conventional jelly, so care should be taken while serving. Once in the bowl, it takes on the appearance of a conventional jelly.
In fact, once condiments have been applied in the form of fresh cream, I suspect no one would be the wiser to your subterfuge.
As for the all important taste test, I chose ‘Red’ flavour. I guess it’s strawberry, not sure since the pack is already in the bin. It’s ever so slightly bland, but still perfectly acceptable. The safety and convenience factor wins out totally!
Satisfied customer! And yes, I am eating from a pink bowl with polka dots on it. WHAT OF IT???
Editing the Herald
April 29th, 2009Just a quick plug for any of you who don’t follow Editing the Herald. It’s daily required reading for me. Highly entertaining. I find his ruthless slaying of the mouthbreathers that frequent the Your Views section always gets a hearty laugh out of me. Example:
WelshJerry (Waiheke Island): I am an Inuit from Nunuvthat originally, now living in your beautiful town of Huntley. When I first came here I was shocked to see Eskimo sweets on the shelves, but I was persuaded to try one, and found them so delicious that I was able to put aside my concerns that they carried racist overtones. I now enjoy a packet of Eskimos every week, and my children are addicted to them.I have my suspicions that this poster may not be all that he seems:
- He misspells Nunavut.
- His name is clearly Welshjerry, not Inuitjerry.
- He claims to live both in Huntly and on Waiheke.
- He refers to Huntly as ‘beautiful’.
As such, I reject his hypothesis that the lollies are too delicious to be racist.
new. different. woohoo!
