Recently I sat and watched the NZ cricket team demolish the English cricket team in a rain shortened one dayer. And I loved it.
I loved it for a variety of reasons – but most of all because it was a real two finger salute to that egotistical pillock Adam Parore.
One of the stars was Jesse Ryder. When Jesse was selected, Parore said that he was too fat to play top class cricket. Parore said there was no room at the top for a fat man. Well – on behalf of all fat men – and Jesse Ryder hardly qualifies – I’ve got news for Mr Loudmouth Parore. A few extra pounds will not stop a talented fellow like Jesse Ryder performing at the top level.
Why do the media go to people like Parore for comment. Sure he had some cricket talent but what has he done since. Perhaps his greatest achievement is his ability to sell pictures of his family to some womens’ gossip magazine.
Anyway- enough about Parore – he is of no consequence – the win was fantastic for New Zealand cricket and will be a great confidence booster for the team. Make sure you are at the game in Napier.
Parliament opened last week with the usual rubbish dished up in the house. Helen Clark claimed that there was no quick fix to New Zealand’s problems – an amazing statement considering she has been in power for 8 years.
John Key pointed out to her that fact and her trusty – “I’m not part of the Government” – Lieutenant Winston Peters got up and – well actually I’m not sure what he said. As usual he talked in riddles.
The usual election year jockeying for position is going on. The Greens are sending out old Nachos to pasture so they can bring in their deputy leader to gain publicity before the election.
NZ First has clearly done a deal with the government and Donnelly is off to Rarotonga to bask in the sun. That allows them to add some firepower in terms of Dail Jones.
Don’t you think all this makes an absolute mockery of democracy. We elect one bunch and then they decide who is really going to represent us.
I am still waiting to hear from any party that is prepared to hold a binding referendum on MMP.
They’ll get my vote.
