national treasure Hilary Barry

Who is Hilary Barry, and why is he or she a "national treasure" ?

[FD2]

That was what we call tongue in cheek.

Who is Hilary Barry, and why is he or she a "national treasure" ?

She is on Orkland TV and is royalty.

[ExSp33db1rd]

..........and is royalty.

At least she thinks she is.

Not my type. too domineering e.g. I'm right, do it my way, stop criticising me.
But ... she is forceful about Covid vaccination so she ain't all wrong.

Thanks Karearea. That's a well conducted poll but I'm not sure what the views of 312 protestors tells us, apart from that they all seem to be anti-mandate from a broad section of society?

It's a great shame that there is a core of trouble makers disrupting the demo: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/ ... SZS6KMKZU/

and worst of all a 'musician' dared to tangle with national treasure Hilary Barry and posted a photo of people being hanged to emphasise his message.

Kerrison’s tweet also featured a black and white image incorrectly captioned as a photograph of hangings in Nuremberg, Germany, with the heading: "since we're now into repeating history, let's not leave anything out". The photo is actually of Nazi war criminals being executed in Kyiv, Ukraine after World War II.

Take, a soupcon of rightful indignation, mix in an agglomeration of issues (often contradictory), pour in a plethora of ignorance and sheer stupidity (willful or otherwise), heap in a sieve full of misunderstandings of the real concept of justice, add in an insistence on a myriad of warped interpretations of freedom and rights without the concomitant duties due to society (i.e. fellow citizens), sprinkle in tablespoons of the malign, the eccentric and the clearly mad. Stir, let simmer, and there you have the flour and the fatheads who will wreck your roux and your civil society!

Not my type.

Nor mine.

... Ardern cautioned that the traffic light system was likely to remain in place for the winter to combat not just Covid, but the return of the flu...

The local Maori Runanga don't appreciate the interruption to the PM's visit by shouting oafs.

An illustration of their stupidity. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/ ... GXI7OKS6E/

More likely Covid and/or the stink from the overflowing Portaloos!

I'm pretty sure that their "Tin Foil" hats are actually made out of aluminum.
How will that work out?

PP

[FD2]

The heat from their over-working brains might melt the aluminium foil and then doesn't that contribute to the causes of Alzheimer's or PSD?

[Pinky the pilot]

The report stated that it was unknown if the foil hat wearing protestors were serious or just parodying them.

The lack of visible peanut butter suggests they were having a dig at the proponents of such things.

I mean, seriously! Are some people really stupid enough to believe such crap? And I'll answer my own question;

Yes, they are!!

[FD2]

It's a good story anyway!

[OFSO]

Those wimmin look rather, er, substantial. Are they typical of NZ wives?

'fraid so - the curse of obesity has been here for some time. For some sections of the community that is normal but low wages and high rents has pushed some other sections into eating too much cheap junk food - which the government forgets to do anything about. Tax it higher anyway and the food bill goes up because, amazingly, healthy dairy, meat, fruit and veg prices have been rising fast and are now out of reach for poorest sections of society. Food or rent - take your choice.

My ex-wife's best friend and family emigrated from South Africa to New Zealand, her husband had been a diary farmer in Natal in South Africa, and in New Zealand he stuck to his last, working managing a local farm while she worked in an office for a local council. There seemed to be a strong health and exercise consciousness in that office at least, as they were always attempting to do x many steps a day, using the stairs, and they were encouraged partake in the strong out of office sports culture etc. I had assumed this was a national thing, but maybe I was wrong or maybe the lockdown fouled that all up.

I always found Black Cat Peanut Butter the best cosmic ray prophylactic...





South African adverts....

They are not working hard enough if they have energy to waste running up and down stairs.

John, has anybody ever pointed out to you that, you might be a curmudgeon? Albeit a humourous one.

[John Hill]

Ummm errr, oh! I see where I went wrong there.....you did say they worked at the local council.
