Yeah, nah this site is now goneburger. Laters

If reading Jack Reacher (One Shot) has taught me anything, it's that something dramatically major is orchestrated to hide one very specific intention🤔🤔🤔

Hidden in this cabinet reshuffle, with James Meager becoming a Minister, he relinquishes the chair of the Justice Select Committee overseeing the Treaty Principles bill process. Pay attention to who takes over there as much as everywhere else in this reshuffle.

OTOh, there have been times when egos have taken over and simply repeated what has already been said, e.g. Kīngi Tūheitia tangi had one iwi spread across 5 different ope, all mentioning the same mate they had just a week earlier 🤣🤣🤣

There are many ways to pay tribute without having to feel the photo op of being there, not to mention the entitlement of expecting to be given speaking rights. I've seen many people not speak at a tangi because there are others who have already said what they would have.

Another e.g., (as far as I've been told anyway) the original/full version of the Mā Wai rā waiata was composed by Henare Te Owai while he was up north and couldn't get back home to Ngāti Porou for his cousin's tangi.

E.g, I couldn't make it to a mates brother's tangi, I sent him a message of what I would've said had I been able to - that was suffice as far as my mate was concerned. It had the same effect - he felt my love without my having to be there.

I see the ole "we weren't allowed to say anything to Dame Tariana" reckons are popping off again. Put it this way, you don't HAVE to go to a tangi to say what you want to. Especially when you have a press secretary to issue a statement on your behalf.

Gotta laugh at those people who jumped on board Simeon's 'dial-a-pothole' thing to slam the previous govt and now moaning that there are endless roadworks the length and breadth of the country. 🤣 what, was this govt going to magically repair everything without any inconvenience?

The bro just couldn't get through one more pre-season. I know the feeling - just my realisation came innthe 7th form and couldn't be bothered training for the 1st XV. 🤣🤣🤣 enjoy your new life Tohu, it's been great watching you play over the years.

A ram-raid by any other name.... https://t.co/NRS3ww5zUr

Ka mutu, ko koe tonu tērā e tātā ana ngā MP e whakatairanga ana i ngā āhuatanga i roto i te pāremata, i runga tonu i te whakapae he takahi tikanga tuku iho o taua whare. He aha e kihirua ana koe i te marae nei? Me noho mātāmua tonu te pāremata ki ō tātou marae? Pōkokohua!

C'mon Matua Shane, mōhio mārika koe ka kore rawa tō rahi e tuku te mana o tō marae ki te ope manuhiri. Hei aha tō tohutohu i a Whangaehu, i a iwi kē renew. Pēnā ko au, kua waiho tō koha ki te papa, kua wawe tonu te tuku i tō ope kia haere. Heoi,

Just spent a week travelling the Nth Island dodging rain and wind. Left Taupo this morning with everyone rugged up like it was August (silly me only packed for a summer holiday 🤣🤣). Get back to Auckland for the sunshine and calm wind - should never have left 🤣🤣🤣

Oz still salty because the mighty Black Caps will forever be the first name etched on that trophy... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2 x thefts of $100k+, including 1 while serving one lot of home detention and all he gets is.... more home detention? There are poor people in jail for stealing 1% of that value.... where are the one rule for all people?

Obviously PM and his speechwriter think Waitangi Day is too early in the year to work and decided to avoid it rather than repeat his speech for a third straight year....

So we sticking with #Petone instead of the correct Pito One. Oh well, can't say I'm surprised by Minister Chris Pink and this government.

Does anyone else feel sleepy sitting up and then the moment you lie down your brain is suddenly like:

Maybe SARU should reinvest in making Currie Cup the ideal product for players, fans and broadcasters. (similar rethink needed in NZ). O/w work with neighbours to develop an African comp - Namibia, Kenya etc. Won't be quick, but it stops the moans about travel or time zone changes
