Such sad news. I've been listening to her a lot over the past week. I've always loved this song and her live performance here is mesmerising. May she rest in peace.

Got off lightly here. Cover blown off the BBQ table is the only sign of the wind during the night. Was fucking noisy though. Quite a few trees down around the district though and a few road closures.

Sister in Mangawhai saying power might be out for a week. They have a small gennie but not sure it can run all fridges and freezers. Also, their cooking is all electric so not sure how that's going. Daughter trapped down at Tara Iti golf course , but they have full generation so OK there. Not a bad...

Yeah I'm sure that's the reason.

Hosking cannot be such a misogynist to a male. I still laugh when he called Key "mate" during one of their love-ins - biased is his middle name. He's still relentless in his questioning though, now I never heard any of his interviews with Jacinda, I only started listening post her refusal...

Haven’t been on here in over two years. Good to see Guy Smiley here! I thought you’d retired from the online life.

Probably a good idea. You guys are forcast to get it worse than Northland I believe. We have emergency supplies just in case. Wine and cheese counts right? Only the essentials huh? :grin: We also have chocolate. And some local Phathouse craft beer... (and bread, salami, chips, fruit, bottled water ...

Getting some power fluctuations here. Losing power for a few seconds at a time. Odd. Are your mobile devices fully charged. Might want to make sure of that in case there is a prolonged power cut. I've learned from experience that your mobile device is the only connection with the outside world duri...

I always just think of the expression 'the inmates have taken over the asylum' when I see his shows and listen to the ranting of him and his cronies/guests.

Yeah my feelings exactly! I saw that on our TV news last night.

I've decided to add a cyclone to my list a disastrous events to experience. Currently in Piahia enjoying the calm before the storm. Also, haven't visited this site in ages. Had issues trying to login last time, but straight in this time. Thought I'd give it another go given PR seems to have shat it...

Went to do the weekly supermarket shop, jeez it doesn't take much to get people to turn feral. All bread gone, carpark aggro high. I mean it is auckland, but still. Have the tramp securely fastened, rest of the outdoor furniture I'd be happy to donate to someone roof so that's sorted. Fingers cross...

booji checking in just to let you know I'm safe and accounted for.

Exactly.

Ho Booji, this bored is run on a much more polite basis than PR, so please go fuck yourself. Can't say I've missed your pompous, know it all, holier than thou sermons over at PR but nice to see you haven't changed a bit. :thumbup: It was tongue in cheek. My humour is too dry. Sorry it offended. As ...

Jack Goodhue is the missing organiser... but the current thinking is to have speed merchants. Everywhere. Just run fast... something will happen. I don't think Jack Goodhue would have made much difference last night when we are getting pummeled up front. He started at 13 in that loss to England in ...

Any Kiwis on here watching the Patrick Gower on Booze on Channel Three? Listening to him discussing it ahead of time makes it sound potentially very enlightening. I was going to bring this up on the PR bored for the Kiwi based posters. I found it an excellent doco but I question whether Gower is tr...

Anyone keeping an eye on Mickelson flushing his legacy down the toilet. Absolutely car crash stuff. I understand the USPGA are preparing to suspend him. Justin Thomas absolutely eviscerated him, saying he has lost all respect for the man, doesn't care what he says and hopes he never has to play wit...

That’s an amazing result. After going to bed after the first set I wasn’t expecting to wake up to anything other than a Medvedev straight sets win. I went to bed after the second set with Medvedev 2 sets to love up. Thought he'd win easily. Although tbf he kind of stole the 2nd set against the run ...

Good win for Andy. Looked fairly sharp. Pleased to see him get the win.

Come to think of it I'm not sure if my Aussie wife gets a vote in Australia.

She's not a NZ citizen but certainly votes in the NZ election as a permanent resident.

I think citizens should always have a vote in their country of citizenship.

G Paterson has extended his, ahem, "talents" to talkback radio in recent years. Yeah Graeme Patterson. Amongst already one eyed Cantabs he was a standout. All the All Blacks woes would be solved if we just selected Cantabs for all 23 positions on matchday. How hard must his dick have been...
