JaneMareesFWIW: August 2011

Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Top Gear - Captain Slow's brilliant idea. Whenever TV's 'Top Gear' features electric cars, you may be sure of two things:. 1) They will run out of battery power in the most inconvenient place;. 2) Jezza Clarkson will be chortling with glee. But when they (finally) reached the seaside, Jezza and Captain Slow (James May) went on some dodgem rides - thereby giving Captain Slow a brilliant idea:. Overhead power transmission for electric cars on motorways. 5) Japan has yet another.

Sunday, November 6, 2011. Polly-wolly Doodle All the Day. Now that the All Blacks have won the Webb Ellis Cup @ at Rugby World Cup held in our little Stadium-of-4-million, the politicking (i originally wrote this as "poliyicking" - seriously, i really did! Has started with a bang. Debate between John Key and Phil Goff has been more than animated! What some of them are so desperately hoping to get back! Answerable to Parliament (its original function! Without an absolute majority. The worm in the rotten a...

Thursday, December 16, 2010. Interesting bloke. Dani Rodrik. Saw a reference to him. In an article in the "NZ Listener" (18dec2010) Business page - more later, because i first read the article "Plugging Away" last Wednesday evening and got this horrible sinking feeling, couldn't sleep and eventually decided it was all that bloody cheap (& really. There was a New Zealand Institute reference: " Plugging The Gap. In the above article, whose author Rick Boven. Rodrik's blog is here. But i've been here before.

Friday, March 9, 2012. The sh*t never stops, does it! Syria's still a horrible mess; Egypt's looking a bit dodgy, maybe Libya too; Greece is hanging on by the skin of its teeth; the Iranians and North Koreans are still doing their 'nuclear thing' tho what that might actually be is unclear as yet; the EU still has the 'wobbles'; and some really weird sh*t is coming out of the US in this presidential election year. What's wrong with it in a country that isn't paved all over with multi-lane roads? I s'pose ...

Friday, December 2, 2011. All over bar the wheedling etc. Well the General election's come and gone. We've voted to keep MMP (tho what the pollies will do to it is up for grabs). Nats (60 seats) have only just got a House majority when combined. With Act (1 - pseudo-Nat John Banks) and United Future (Peter Dunne). So when do we see 'asset sales', to whom, and how much, and who's first on the block? However, John Key won't have a soft ride! I knew the Government would b. WTF is so hard about that? The tro...

Saturday, October 30, 2010. Cars - me this time (sort of.). Well, this time it was. Me But i can't believe that road-marking follow-up truck tried to run us off the road just because i went to overtake him - he was doing about 10kph and i was taking my friend J for an appointment! So of course i went to overtake - and he swerved at us! Nearly ran us into the ditch! I don't think it was me that. I shouldn't've gotten angry! It most certainly was. AND telling other road users about her intentions! A home-m...
