Sometimes I just need to rant. Be afraid, you are my captive audience.

Dear Cheap Designer Bags …

please feck off. I don’t know why but I’ve suddenly been inundated by spam comments from designerbagss.org (the not linking was on purpose, I really don’t want anyone going to their site because they are hairy arsed pirates of the…

Silver Fern Farms Te Aroha: disgusting behaviour

Frustration generic

Silver Fern Farms is quite rightly getting slammed in cyberspace for their actions in docking the pay of their workers who observed the two minutes’ silence during the memorial service for the Pike River miners. Sure, there have been some…

China continues to suck

It’s not that I’m picking on China. Really, I’m not. Can I help it if China’s powers that be provide a constant stream of evidence of suckiness in all areas of human rights, personal and political freedoms and general respect…
