RARE LAMB

Kiwiblog's, fine author Farrar came a calling over Xmas and supped and ate for the day with friends and family. He has exposed some interesting myths on BustedBlonde here

And he appeared to enjoy the action at the Rangitumau Lilliputian aerodrome.

However is is much more of a crackberry head than BB as this picture shows!

However, he got one thing wrong.. The lamb he ate had been killed a couple of days prior. The one that was slaughtered while he was with us, ( and he didn't look) was destined for the son and heir.

Son learned from his grandfather how to kill and dress the carcass which was hung high in the tree overnight to harden up.

Farrar was good company and we did a bit of plotting and planning for 2010. So watch this space.

PAINTING OVER THE CRACKS.

A few weeks ago, on one of the few warm days we have had in Wellington, we were walking down the lane beside Mermaids on Courtenay Place and noticed a bevy of strapping men with their overalls fashionably tied at the waist. This exposed their bristling muscles and made us go all a quiver. Anyhoo,it was obvious that Mermaids, Wellingtons best known strip bar was getting a major facelift.

So fast forward to this morning and one of the young turks on his way to the big round house notes that the painters are still hard at work... Seems a long time to us - or are they just taking things slow so they can admire the unique view...

KITICHEN CONFIDENTIAL

So who is the dirty young boy who is singing the carnal praises of a certain young lass who likes to fraternise on her famous dads kitchen table?

Is this the first political miscegenation case of the new term?

We say shame on the boy who talks. We have Prior knowledge of his dirty deed and we will spill all if he doesnt shut his gob and his flies.

We want to ensure that this RD postman only comes once.

the mysterious NZ party finances just get mysteriouser

Well, well it get curiouser and curiouser - the NZ First troika.

David Fisher writes an article in the Listener that again raises some very interesting machinations of the NZ First party machine which appears to be split into 3. Well worth a read.

There is still much more to come in the scampi saga - more paper trails , and there is talk of some ink drying on some pretty explosive affidavits .

some questions for the MSM journalists.

Where is Ross Meurant?
Has anyone asked Brian Deadman what he did with his scampi quota?
What did Winston Peters say to Neil Penwarden outside the fisheries select committee hearing into the scampi quota that left him shaken?
Why did Winston get rid of Doug Woolerton off the committee and was it before or after Velas empire gave him a $150k?
How many of Winstons original backers still back him and of those who dont why wont they ?
Does Tommy Gear know the Vela's?

Who is the latest person to give some paperwork to the Serious Fraud office?

Who was Winstons big South Island backer?

And who said " I own him" and why?

crustacea go deeper

Well this is all a bit new

- I've been posting for a while but its time to unleash my limited wit and wisdom on the world. Blogging offers such a great intellectual bonfire on which to burn our vanities

I was a journalist - not a bad one I suppose and I know i still think like one. and thats an interesting point cos som many of todays journos dont think like journalists but many bloggers do so that why I think I am comfortable opining in this ether.

Im in PR - although I hate that term. We do communications good bad simple or sophisticated that is all it really is.

I love politics and I am def right of centre but the National party does piss me off sometime.

I am foodie and a very committed militant carnivore.

Im not all that well connected but I do know the odd person who is .

Anyway what is piqueing my interest is the winston dramas. He is the spot that needs outed.

So with this blog I do pledge info on food - especially how to cook raw prawns,

info on wellington gossip, and well a well placed comment on anything that rocks my dinghy.
