The protest up in Northland over the sealing of the road to Cape Reinga is notable mainly for the repetitive nature of it all (yawn) - and the fact that all the protesters are wearing fluoro safety jackets. If you haven't seen reports of this it is absolutely marvellous; there is safety orange and yellow as far as the eye can see. I did see a middle aged woman very close to a large digger and she wasn't wearing a hard hat. What the hell is the looney protest industry coming to. If one of them gets sconed by a bucket how will they be able to bludge compensation out of my tax dollar if they weren't wearing a hard hat at their place of work. Because that is certainly what it is - they don't seem to do any other work other than make a nuisance of themselves.
I see the All Blacks finally did some work yesterday. They have called a halt to collecting silly hats (good day for this yesterday - they scored a red beret and a daft schoolboy cap complete with tassel)and they went training. Well they all did except Keith Robinson who has strained his calf during a brisk stroll to the breakfast buffet. 'Teak hard' Keith has managed to keep himself fit enough for twelve AB runons since 2002 - If I were Troy Flavell (which mercifully I am not) I would be making sure I knew where my passport was.
Larry WIlliams had enough excuse to have the Member for Cambodia on his show last night with this Iranain plonker conning bail out of the Government. Urine was extracted (it really is like taking candy off a baby) in usual fashion and all is well with the world. 'So this chap will not necessarily be stoned to death the moment he passes through Iranian Customs?' 'Well no he may not, but as a convert he will be mercilessly persecuted and may even be called rude names. As he is a fellow opressed minority I must show him my solidarity in the face of the forces of imperlalism.' Back in your cell Keith.
Maybe something will happen today.
