Ok lets just look at this is it scandal season? First STV elections stuff up, whoops, then we have John "Noone will find out" Tamihere, and then to top it all off the Police send a Taxi to answer a 111 call. Whats next we find out that our Prime Minister Helen "I Love the Power" Clark is having an affair with George W "I Can't say Nuclear" Bush? So maybe not, but anyway. How can they send a Taxi to a 111 call, yes Taxis have lights on the top of their cars, but they don't flash, and there can't be many who went to Police training. So do we need a new system for 111 calls, "Hello Emergency Services, do you require Police, Fire, Ambulance or Taxi...." "Please press 2 for Police, 3 for Fire, 4 for Ambulance or 111 for Taxi. Also No longer can the Police play their favourite game of Hide and Snap, as reported in the Dom this morning Police are no longer allowed to hide when working a speed camera, oh well guys hard luck I guess you'll just have to try harder, maybe they could talk to the army about camo gear.

This Weekend I had a great time it all started on Friday when me and a mate got a job working for Dominion Brewries for the day awesome idea that one, we had to assemble 11 BBQ's, but you wouldn't believe how long it takes you before you get bored of screws, and just want nails so you can at least hit something. Anyway our pay for the day was 6 Dozen Tui each + 2 Free tickets to the Rugby + a huge bag of Sausages bloody awesome. As I had already bought tickets to the rugby I had to try and hock them off so I spent over an hour ringing around to try and get rid of them, after a while I finally got rid of them for $20 each, all good. Anyway the game was awesome, I had a great time then it was up to PJ's for a few (more like a few too many) quiets anyway, I left at bout 2am and stumbled down the road. I felt like shit in the morning but it was my own fault. On sat I had a few ppl over and I drunk about 2 Doz, before I crashed out about 5am, again I had work on Sun was still drunk when I got there again. Went home and ended up going to Dave's for a barbie, great sausages even if I ate too many. Anyway on to the point of this story, I think that there is a bit of a sense from Ministers especially in this Government, but in most cases in general that they can get away with almost anything and not really expect to be caught we have just seen another case of this, just weeks after He is told off for speeding in his Ministerial car what comes out but the fact that he was a) given a Golden Handshake (something that this Govt has had a huge thing against) and b) not only that, but the Trust that he was formerly a part of also paid his car insurance and he didn't declare it. These "Ministerial Slip-ups" just keep on happening after a while it seems they are all forgiven and let back into cabinet, but should there be more punishment or is there nothign wrong with it.

So While John is getting himself in trouble again, I was drinking again suprise suprise

This weekend I have won two bets the first was made 3 days before the VUWSA elections and was a bet that it would take Kerry Prendegast more than 3 rounds to win the election woohoo it took her 5 and this is without special votes. The second was with our esteemed Vice President (Education) 2004 and President elect 2005 on a certain rugby game, North Harbour vs the Mighty Bay of Plenty, how jeremy could bet against the bay I don't know but anyway I shall be at the bar sometime this week celebrating with 4 jugs of beer cheers PJ.
So this shows that there are evils to betting....If you bet against me you will lose!!!!
