The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog,  3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.

EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world  and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

  1. How about some individual gesture of solidarity with good NZ for people both good and bad that is, for us all. What about going to the front of your placer at 11 am on Saturdqay and playing Herbs singing E Papa in acapella twice and talking to anyone friendly like who is interested. I’ve been going though all my tapes and decided again how much I like it, the voices and the harmony.

    You could say that it seems a good NZ thing to do before the election – probably people would just lift their eyebrows and move on but you would have made a dent in their consciousness.
    And then note on here if you did, and if anybody passed by at the time and heard or not (thinking that if the fine song is played somewhere, even if nobody but the player hears but then tells, then it registers on a few brains).

    Words – 13. E PAPA WAIARI
    Te Kete Ipurangi

    E PAPA WAIARI. This is one of the most commonly recognised Mäori songs and is ideal to use with tï räkau (short sticks used in pairs) to keep the rhythm.

    E Papa Waiari
    E auë, ka mate au Oh, I will surely die
    E hine, hoki mai rä My darling girl, please return to me

    E papa waiari My grief overwhelms me
    Taku nei mahi And all I do
    Taku nei mahi And all I do
    He tuku roimata Is to shed tears relentlessly
    E auë, ka mate au Oh, I will surely die
    E hine, hoki mai rä My darling girl, please return to me
    Mäku e kaute ö hïkoitanga I will count your every footstep
    Mäku e kaute ö hïkoitanga I will count your every footstep
    E auë, ka mate au Oh, I will surely die
    E hine, hoki mai rä My darling girl, please return to me

    I think the reaction of many citizens to this item on solar will be to stamp around the room kicking cushions, table legs and mumbling despairingly. There should be an entry exam for politicians and their advisors – also a formal declaration signed (possibly in blood) that they will keep their minds on priorities. Outcomes with good quick outcomes for needy people, are tops plus seeing that useful people with higher education are feeding through. I’m a great believer in bonding for scholarships, or otherwise good young ones of small means.

    The show has been limping along for decades, but even The Mousetrap in London has to close down and it got better reviews than we have had.
