After a fairly trouble free hiatus I would like to touch on a couple points discussed earlier, and also raise a number of new elements that have surfaced on my break. Just to get you up to speed, it’s been 6 years since my last confession. Many ewoks have died and those were, in fact, absolutely the droids I was looking for. Do you want the good news first?

The good news

We managed to punch through the well touted cataclysmic event of world doom, as predicted by some in 2012, and seemly FB has bounced from the lows. NZ has banked a second Web Ellis trophy and taken a bronze in the women’s pole vault (she’s my freebie). We repurchased the Americas Cup(thats sailing for rich wankers) and the Warriors went on an unprecedented winning streak which led to the booky halting all traffic on the DB Bitter brigade.

SKY TV has finally recognised the way the world is turning and acknowledged the existence of the internet. Dam you internet. Telecom went GSM digital and did I mention a bronze in the Woman’s Pole Vault, in Brasil no less. Its like my dream sporting event … bronze Brazilian pole vaulting. Mmmmm. 

2013 was a decent year for Te whero whero white man fire water, pity none made it to the big island as the crooks still struggle to make a drinkable pinot. 2014 was a good time to blood some new stock before the RWC repeat in 2015. Seeing you little Beaudy Barret Balls fly under the cross bar to crush the ANZAC spirit was truly uplifting. It really put the planet back in its place with all the misguided prods of choking now well in the rear view mirror. King Richard solidified himself as a man amongst men with not only 2 gold mugs and a glider pilot license, but joined the ranks of the mysterious world of  Rescue Helicopter Captain.

The desert has certainly not disappointed with Syria taking the top job as naughty child. Usual suspects charged with putting out that fire with usual results. Speaking of Suspects … I had foreseen that the Cossacks may not be integrating into the global playground as well as we hoped. Like a peach they have soaked up more news time than super sports Sunday. 

The bad news

Didn't get any at FB at 15.00, Donald Trump is now in charge of the worlds stupidist race and we have replaced one horse like matriarch, that can eat an apple through a tennis racket for a younger, sharper, slightly less hopeless model ... running the same game with the granny tree huggers.

Unfortunately once again the black cox failed to medal in the mixed doubles and I managed to blow up 2 housing markets.  Thats is a grand total of 3 now so surely I'm qualified to be economist for any of the top four banks.

Global warming has dug its toes in, although it seems more like global raining and we are still 100 years away from being non reliant on fossil fuels. Phew that will be handy.


Well this rhetoric was just a loosen-er, trying to get the eye back in before we adjust our sights towards GFC II and the complete melt down of the global financial and geo politic hornets nest. Looking forward to getting stuck into DTrumpet, if hes not impeached before my next on September 11, 2018.

Spend quality some time with your hound. They don't live forever
