Tall Ferns Win Bronze












Congrats to the Tall Ferns for winning Bronze
against Canada at the  CW Games.

The team bounced back after getting walloped
by Australia in the semi.

M. Cocks once again led the way and had to
be player of the tournament, her class shined thru.

Where to now for the Tall Ferns,  they must look
at our players overseas, the gulf between us and
Australia was horrible, the local players just dont
have the competition to improve their game, they
must get to the states or Europe or Asia, that is the
only way we can at least compete with the powerhouses.

That's for the future though, in the mean time, I hope the
Tall Ferns enjoy their bronze medal.

Well done to them!!

The Spinoff Confuses Me

Image
Over the past few years, I have occasionally gone over to the website, "The Spinoff" and nearly every time the website has left me in a state of confusion, when normally I am in a state of denial. The website seems to read like it's coming from the old "Social Credit" party manifesto, but that isn't what confuses me, I guess the easiest way to explain is to give examples. Take the Horrific Christchurch shooting, my old home town  acted with grace and dignity and an outpouring of love and support for the victims and their community, as they should. Writers from the spinoff, wrote the same, beautiful pieces of how we should come together and support each other. But the same writers, had totally different opinions of other Terror attacks around the world, they had previously written on their own blogs and social media, that no sympathy should be given because of  a country's  foreign policy and that it was somehow racist to give thoughts to that country and...

Hey Kid Get Ya Feet off the Table

Image
Words fail me, but I'm going to write something anyway. I kinda blame society for thinking that kids taking Selfie's is a great idea, and it breeds confidence, I actually think it breeds obnoxious. I was in a pub/restaurant not so long ago, and this group of people were there, mainly adults, ages ranged from about 65 to around 12. They were all nicely dressed, there were two kids, one a girl in her teens and a boy aged about 12, he seemed to be better dressed than the adults, he had one of those bowler hats on. Anyway, I was there with my group, there were two other groups there at the time. This kid had decided to play a rather loud game on his cell phone, loud enough that everyone else turned around to see where the noise was coming from, he for some reason, was nodding his head up and down saying "Yeah yeah" like he just achieved something really important. I looked around every so often, as other people did, and he was talking to other people at this table, but he...

NOT A SECRET SOCIETY

Image
The picture above doesn't show a Secret Society, it doesn't show people who are part of an exclusive club that has been around for 100's of years. There is not going to be a Line of Duty type investigation into these boys, there won't be a movie made into their life's, none of the people pictured are special. There is no wild antics that  they do, that will be talked about for centuries. They wont become Prime Minister. They're nothing like the Masons, the police aren't debating should they arrest them or not because who their daddies are. Yet the New Zealand Media once again get it wrong, by dramatizing their behavior and giving it a cute nickname, leading people to believe, "Wow is this like Billionaire Boys club", or that English movie which shows the Elite acting badly" Please tell us More!!!! Well quite Frankly Hamish  McNeilly of Stuff's website should be ashamed for not doing any real reporting. This group of kids, reminds me of the...
