This is what happens when you become a billionaire, once you've bought everything that can be bought and own everything you always wanted to own the only thing left to do is talk shit, get your face in the media, and score as many ego points as possible.

The man is dead inside, empty.

Idly reminiscing about how I got perm banned from the-hellsite-formerly-known-as-twitter for pointing out that Winston Peters complaining about things being forced down his throat meant he needed to improve his fellatio skills.

Good times.

This. I've said it before. Cycle lanes are not the impediment to a vibrant city the moaners think it is.

I drive, ride a motorcycle and walk around Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Cycle lanes are not a significant issue.

So, I’ve just come home after spending a few days in Welly where I used both my car & my Snapper card & I still don’t get why people have had tantrums about cycle lanes. There are LOTS & LOTS of cyclists which puts my very flat city to shame. Cycle lanes were absolutely not a problem 🚲 🤷‍♀️

Get your vote on people, if you haven't already. And get your friends/family voting too.

There are Māori wards to save and some truly alarming candidates to resist.

Turnout is lower so far in this year's local elections, especially in wards that vote Left. You can still vote by 12 noon Saturday by putting your completed ballot paper in the orange bins at Supermarkets and other locations.
