GOOD BUGGER

We were at an auspicious "do" tonight. Tim Gibson , CE of NZ Trade and Enterprise had his farewell. It was a fairly heavyweight Wellington crowd. There were Ministers to the left and Ministers to the right and all had nothing but praise for the man who has helped shape the portal to international trade for many New Zealand companies.

It was a fine tribute to an extremely well respected NZ'er who has done much to increase exports around the world.

What we like about Tim is that he is a genuine nice guy and normally they don't survive the hurly burly of this particular sector. But he has and he has stamped his mark and overseen many milestones including the organisation winning international accolades for its excellence amongst its peers.

NZ has been well served by this quiet unassuming man and we will watch with interest where he pops up next.

HAS HODGSON BEEN A WEE BIT DISTRACTED LATELY

Sinnercyst one of those intellectual oversexed lovelies in the deep south has a very interesting post on Pete Hodgson - Seems the evil one has been a bit distracted lately.....
This site has some great links that are worth a look.

QUEEN BEE ON THE PINOT?

WOW , the old girl must have been out on the tiles last night and it appears from the quality of the posts on the Hive Queen Bee had a couple of glasses of Wycroft Pinot Noir too many.

She wants us to boycott TV3 because they have broadcast another one of the " secret " tapes that was made at the National Party conference.

Now poor old QB isn't a journalist and doesn't realise that todays independent media like TV3 is only interested in entertainment. And we think it is very entertaining TV. Duncan Garner is the best eye candy of any of the TV political presenters.

And Keeping Stock has fallen for Queen Bees drunken musings as well


We don't have a problem that TV3 aired another of the tapes because we know that TV3 , to ensure fairness and balance, will publish the tapes that the VRWC has "obtained " over the last month or so.

However we are prepared to sell them to the highest bidder, with money going to the Breast Cancer Foundation because QB has made such a tit of herself.

Please email bustedblonde@gmail.com if you would like to buy them.
