Hikoi in town Tomorrow

Well the Hikoi arrives in wellington tomorrow. Ill be going down to tautoko,
Ill take my digital camera along as well. Hopefully a lot of people turn out
and support the cause.

I think it may be one of the defining moments in NZ’s history .. are we
going to go the way of so many other british colony’s. Denying our past,
repeating the mistakes and end up a divided mess.
Make no mistake, this is a huge issue, anyone who thinks its going to go
away is surely dreaming.
After the Orewa speech and the rising anti-maori rhetoric, its only a matter
of time till someone gets hurt.

The Guns of Navarone by Alastair Maclean

While tidying my bookshelf the other day, I came across this book, so
started reading it again. It certainly has dated, but is a good story
nonetheless.

Kill Bill Volume 2

Well, Tarantino is sick a mighty sick puppy. This film was not nearly as
violent as part 1. But it does have a lot of witty dialogue, and some quite
humourous parts. It enjoyed, and seen as part of a double feature with part
1 is definitely the way to watch it.

Along Came Polly

Well this was amusing in a formulaic Ben Stiller kinda way. It was pretty
predictable, but had some funny moments.
Its watchable.

Arsehat list

1 Whoever rang 3 news to complain about the cars of people on the Hikoi not

6 John Tamihere (-3)
7 Frank Hayden (-3)

9 Stephen Franks (-4)
10 Winston Peters (-4)

Movements

We have a new number 1, whoever the pillock or pillocks were who rang 3 news
to complain that cars werent being ticketed. What complete arsehats.

3 News jump straight to number 2, for giving that story more air time than
the actual Hikoi.

Dail Jones jumps in at number 5 with his stupid take the bus drivel. And
taxpayers pay him for this??

Helen Clark jumps 2 places to 8 today just basically for being such a
self-righteous cow.

Data Munging with Perl – David Cross

Well im not reading this for enjoyments sake, but rather to help me try and
munge some particularly flat data into a hierachical structure.
Its a good book, approaches the topic well and provides good examples

A Fortress of Grey Ice – J V Jones

Ok so I finished Fools Errand, much faster than I thought I would. It was a
pretty good read. It sure killed time while I was waiting for laurel.
Im reading

A Fortress of Grey Ice now. Its the second in the Sword in the Shadows
series. I enjoyed the first book, so Im sure ill enjoy this.

Fools Errand – Robin Hobb

I finished the Bakers Boy today, and started on this instead. Its been a
while since ive read any Robin Hobb. It seems pretty good so far.

The Cat in the Hat

Nothing special, kinda funny, mostly harmless … a good way to till an hour
and a half, but not much more.

Arsehat list

1 Don Brash (+1)
2 Peter Dunne (+4)
3 John Tamihere (-2)
4 Frank Hayden (-1)
5 Stephen Franks (-1)
6 Winston Peters (-1)
7 Gerry Brownlee (nc)
8 Mahara Okeroa (+2)
9 Rodney Hide (-1)
10 Helen Clark (-1)

Movements:
Don Brash jumps to the number 1 Arsehat in the Country with his ridiculous
comment about bribing Maori to get Resouce consent.
“We already know from papers uncovered last year that some Maori approach
the RMA process with three simple rules: object, object and object again.

And we know form experience that there is usually a way around the
regulatory deadlock – it’s called koha.

We all better get used to that word, because we’ll all be using it a lot
more under this government.”

What a complete dickhead.

Peter Dunne leaps to number to with his moronic prattle about political
correctness.

And Mahara Okeroa moves up to number 8, for his total disregard of his electorates feeings.
