OI YOU!

 We've had lots of tweeting going on here recently thanks to a late spring and now all the little birdies are enjoying the flowers on the flax and trees. It's really nice to hear.

Various local conservation projects have seen the return of kaka and pōpokotea whiteheads which add to the chorus.

Grey-faced petrels (Pterodroma gouldi) also known as Oi have been successfully bred on one of the reserves.

No, it's not Richard of Richard's Bass Bag about to go into town although people do refer to him as 'Oi you'.

LOVE TO HEAR THE ROBIN GO "TWEET TWEET TWEET"



280 characters here

Notice how the media is doing a beat up on the Labour government 18 months before the next election? Wankers!

That smarmy eggshell Chris Luxon is smirking his way to higher ratings by sniping rather than by helping during the pandemic and international crisis.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE

 Since TWITTER banned Donald Trump from its platform the ratings have gone down. I think it's time for me to step up to try and fill the gap.

I have a reasonable following on the blogs and at last count there are two regular readers and contributors and at least another five who read but rarely make comments. This is a far greater reach than the two other blogs in this blogging community have:

RICHARD'S BASS BAG  A rather tired old bag that just meanders on.










And:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CATHOLIC  Robert the Apathetic Sinner's blog that keeps changing title.

"It's 4 O'clock - time for some beers."

I looked up the meaning of 'Influencer' on the internet and found this definition: HERE which is obviously written by an 'influencer' given its hubris. Here are some excerpts:


An influencer is someone in your niche or industry with sway over your target audience.


"Influencers have specialized (sic) knowledge, authority or insight into a specific subject. Their pre-existing presence in a niche makes them a useful launching pad for brands in search of credibility. 85% of marketers engaged in influencer marketing in 2017 and 92% said their campaigns were effective.
(Well they would wouldn't they given, like with Robert's religion, there's no proof to be had.)

An influencer assists companies in “influencer marketing,” a form of advertising that builds brand authority on the back of another person’s reputation."

Influencers generally look like this:


And never like this:




It's time to make a change (well, probably not the guy at the bottom, we'll leave that to the Catholic Church to investigate).

GOD'S WILL BE DONE




But no action



"This has been going on too long in our country."
Said that orange narcissist Donald Trump about the latest USA school shooting.
What a cunt! He aided this through his pussyfooting with the NRA.

HONE WOULD HAVE LIKED IT

So, some Iwi are upset at a Waiheke Island brewer naming their beer 'HEKE'


See:







The place is named Wai - heke for god's sake (permission for use of god's name asked of one of his strongest supporters, Robert but no reply received yet).

'Heke' is supposed to mean fresh or sparkling or something.

Get over it!

I haven't got my knickers in a twist over a crappy fast food chain using my name.

LABOUR PAINS

Andrew Kirton has been quiet today. He of the new Labour Party executive who's been rabidly defending his actions (or lack of action) over the last two days ...

.... and I was wondering why Labour doesn't muzzle him seems to have been muzzled. What was he thinking?

OI YOU!
