What the hell?: Recollections of growing up - the trip to The Rom
http://iansescapevalve.blogspot.com/2014/10/recollections-of-growing-up.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Recollections of growing up - the trip to The Rom. The perils of being a skater in the 70's. Coming back to my insomnia; it was my attempt to recall a trip that I spent during one summer, maybe 1978, possibly 1979 that was keeping me awake. In our modern, paranoid, digitally connected world are we safer or more at risk than we were back in the 70's? And what of that trip? Which took the scenic route; instead of going direct it went via Kilmarnock and Dumfries. Things I look at.

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Treatygate - the rise of the old white racists. Long time no post; I have kept my output going via various Facebook groups, but since some of them seem to have become the dwelling place of conspiracy theorists, with agendas on Fluoride in drinking water, 1080 poisoning everyone, etc. and, that I was so annoyed by a prat called John Ansell and his "Treatygate". Get media commentary on the breakfast news, I felt obliged to start blogging again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

What the hell?: March 2011

Friday, March 25, 2011. I am back on motoring, but on motoring with a slant. In previous moans I have pointed out the stupidity of those who text and drive, those who are stupid enough to purchase American cars and those who do not give way to cyclists. Well in New Zealand we have this thing called the Accident Claims Commission, a state body that pays out for accidental injury – it prevents lawyers chasing ambulances like you get in many other countries. It generates income from levies from ev...I take ...

Monday, July 18, 2011. A Collection of John Key's Lies. A selection - there are more (GST, ACC, etc). On rivers and lakes. The income gap between NZ and Australia. Oil and gas exploration of the East Cape. The SAS in Iraq. And this about how prisoners were treated. About his share dealings before Kiwirail. About those ministerial BMW's. Trying to offer the former National party leader a job out of the country. More random 'Next Blog' stuff. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Collection of John Keys Lies.

What the hell?: December 2010

Monday, December 13, 2010. Good on ya Bolivia. I was watching the latest round of Climate Change meetings from Cancun. Funny how they always find somewhere nice to have these meetings). The usual bunch of politicians were there, living it up, enjoying the hospitality and proposing an array of new, probably unworkable and badly thought through set of ‘solutions’ to the problem of global warming, most importantly showing some concern to those less well off countries who are, well to. I wanna live life and ...

Thursday, September 12, 2013. NZTA clearly don't read the papers. I was at work the other day and on the table at lunch was a copy of the Bay of Plenty Times. The local newspaper for Tauranga. A couple of stories caught my eye. The first related to this piece of ' construction'. Great work you would think? The logging trucks will get to Tauranga a minute quicker? So what do you stand for? The local elections are coming, and one local has possibly the most ridiculous billboard ever. The woman is calle...

What the hell?: October 2010
http://iansescapevalve.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. It's official - the government doesn't care! The Hobbit, a book by JRR Tolkein or a defining moment when workers rights were sold down the river by John Key and his merry men? There are always two sides to any story, the left and the right (unions and employers), those directly affected, those who the issue will have no effect, those who care, those who don't - and those in NZ and those outside. In today's NZ Herald there appeared this poll. On Monday, Samuel Parnell, the fath...

Saturday, September 25, 2010. Horror and atrocities on day time TV. Todays sermon is not for those with a weak stomach - I give you that warning well in advance of what is to come! Why am I blowing off steam today? Of course the Disney organisation is a global one, but with a very 'American' focus. It is not without critique, see this article. There are some interesting links too. Movies such as the Lion King, Pocahontas and Alladin have all bee criticized for being overtly racist. For all those who don'...
