It looks like the Commerce Commission may make a meal of troubled Hanover Finance. A little too late really. If authorities like the commerce commmission, securities commission, companies office etc had their act together and enforced their ACT's, we wouldn't be this far down the toilet.

Baby Names

Are some parents thick, idiots or simply stupid??? Or are they secretly punishing their children for their own shortfall or misfortunes... got to be something... I cannot comprehend why anyone would want to name their child 'Number 16 Bus Shelter', 'Violence' or 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii'. I have a distant cousin that named their child 'Rebel'... this was some 15 years ago and yes, he is a rebel. Some idiot parents just need to grow up.

I noticed today that it made good press managing to get on many international parenting sites around the globe.

Dixon faker but still a murderer

Listening to the news today about Dixon hearing voices... whether he is faking it or not?

Who cares, he still murdered someone and seriously hurt others... what do we care about who he sees or doesn't see.... WHO CARES... yes I know defence are trying to establish insanity for a lessor sentence... come on... even if he is insane he doesn't deserve to ever get out.

And we already know that he's mad. For once I believe that there are certain humans that are a waste of space.

Truckies

I supported the truckies today.. lets face it they are doing what all us car drivers should do. Good on them for being able to come together and present a peaceful protest.

As I drove up a main road today I knew I would strike the truckies so I decided at a certain point I would turn right to go around them. Well, the stupid man in front of me decided to go straight. Obviously he couldn't go straight because of the line of trucks in the way and more coming, and if he had any common sense he would turn right. So two green light changes later, he must have woken up or something because he finally turned right. So the truckies didn't hold us up, it was an idiot male driver that obviously hadn't woken up.

Rape allegations

We all had it wrong... it being nearly all the information that was first reported on about the rape allegations. Of course their still remains the allegations, but no formal complaint yet.

She's not only a (possible) victim of rape but also a victim of the media.

Oviously I've never been in the position, I have been others... but not this one... so I find it difficult to understand why she wouldn't lay a formal complaint, or is it that I'm getting older and am a lot firmer in my opinions??? And yes I have heard the excuses but come on.... this complainant has taken the time and energy and most probably money to go to a solicitor????

So what the????

Solo Dads

I attend an event for toddlers every Saturday morning and there I always see a young dad with his daughter and I've always admired his patience and caring of his daughter. His daughter always turns up looking healthy and clean and tidy and happy.

I'm commenting because when I look at this dad he reminds me of wayward men who smoke dope. Now he could be for all I know and I will never know otherwise.

But what I do know is that every time I see him with his daughter he reminds me of a great dad.

Thick criminals

Thankfully some criminals are thick! or is it that they are tired? Surely the shoplifter new that his dna would link him to Marie Jamieson's murder. Or was he tired of that mental "being on the run" feeling that surely criminals must experience when they don't get caught... always looking over their shoulder. What a fantastic outcome for an old case.. now all we need to do is get it to court and get the rightful convictions. mmmmmm, I won't hold my breath but I will hope.
