OJB The Eerie Silence

Where is everyone? It's a big universe sure, but we've been looking for 50 years now and still there's no real sign that intelligent life might exist in other parts of the universe.

It's not as if we are continually finding reasons that life shouldn't exist - it's quite the opposite: new discoveries on other planets and moons inside our solar system, observations of planets orbiting other stars, and discoveries of weird extremophile life forms on Earth all m

Ozy Mandias Lara Bingle and my Bungle

Today Michael Clark returned to New Zealand after a mercy dash to Aussie to ditch his finance Lara Bingle. I was so interested in this story I actually went myself to the media scrum at the Basin Reserve today. This was the first media conference that I had visited and to say I was a little rusty around the edges was an understatement. As part of the media circus which included magazines such as Women’s Day, FHM and .....

Janey_Godley After Dinner Speakers

People who get together at an event and hire an after dinner speaker for a wad load of cash deserve a good night. I am not writing here to berate the after dinner speakers circuit- I won after Dinner Speaker of The Year and beat 9 men to the title. I like after dinner speaking, to me it’s a way of doing comedy in a nice dress to people who normally wouldn’t come out to a comedy club and hopefully giving them a taste for it. What I have encountered is basically horrendous! I am usually on with… Continue

OJB Bible in Schools Revisited

I just listened to a Radio New Zealand podcast which discussed the future of teaching religion in New Zealand schools. Its a subject I have mentioned here a couple of times in the past, including in the entry "Bible in Schools" which attracted a record (for this blog) 87 comments!

In that entry I said that I supported the Bible (and other aspects of Christianity) being taught in New Zealand schools because kids tended to be able to see when the material they were

Janey_Godley The Glasgow Comedy Festival 2010

Yes, it has begun and I love the festival in my wee home town. Comedy is very much a Glaswegian thing; we just seem to be a funny bunch of folk in Glasgow, which isn’t to say people from Dumfries, Hawick or Prestonpans aren’t inherently funny, but well…are they? We in Glasgow are the kind of people who can turn a queue at a bus stop into a comedy gig, and that my friend is something I have never seen in London or elsewhere! My one woman show is at The Tron Theatre on Thursday 25th March you can… Continue

OJB Which Century?

Which century are the Catholic Church stuck in? Sometimes it seems like they're making progress against the dogma and superstition they have traditionally believed. They officially believe evolution is real, for example, even though they think God guides the process which is fairly ridiculous in itself.

But then they make complete idiots of themselves by showing they are still stuck in the dark ages (and the dark ages were primarily caused by the Catholic Church preventing progress).… Continue

Janey_Godley Liverpool looks good

Been ages since I have been to Liverpool and my GOD it has changed beyond some recognition- big flashy shops and a weird area just full of expansive expensive shops like an LA mall or something. But it is lovely and that’s cracking, though I don’t understand why building big concrete shopping museums as a way of regenerating a city is helpful- but am not educated in inner city regeneration, so what the hell do I know? I am staying in lovely flash serviced apartments; it really is so awesome-but… Continue

OJB A Painful Interview

I just listened to an interview featuring Theresa Gattung, the previous CEO of Telecom New Zealand, who has just released a book, titled "Bird on a Wire". It might be an interesting book to read because it sounds as if she hasn't hesitated to be critical of the people she sees as being to blame for the problems Telecom (which is still New Zealand's biggest company as far as I know) is currently experiencing.

Most of what she said in the interview (I haven't read

OJB You Win Some...

Everyone has heard of the old saying "you win some and you lose some". Its true, I guess, because no person, group, or cause ever wins every battle and there are always setbacks to any conflict, even if the overall outcome is a win.

It has seemed in the past that the battle for rationality against superstition, pseudoscience, and other nonsense has been a losing one, but there have been a few impressive wins more recently.

Maybe the gr

Amy just a little rant about the topic of CYFS today, your views please.

So went out to lunch today. excuse me if this is a little scrambled went to post this five minutes ago and pushed the wrong button.

The topic of CYFS came up. And what im wondering is.

Are we alone in thinking that CYFS is failing the little ones in NZ?

Are we alone in thinking how odd it seems to be that when CYFS is at fault for a little ones death that the entire thing seems to go hush hush?

Or is it the fact we are slowly becoming desensitized b

Semenax MaxVIGRA really helps men better than viagra... and for LESS !

Finally men can enjoy all the benefits of Viagra, but for less money and without any side effects. As you know, medications like viagra and cialis have many side effects and are not recommended to many men because of their health conditions. Unlike them, MaxVIGRA is 100% natural and does not have any side effects!

OJB A Step Forward?

In the last few entries here on New Zealand politics I have been a bit critical of the current government so I think its time to be a bit more positive again. I try to avoid political affiliations - even though I concede I am basically moderately left in my political views - so I do try to compliment the parties I would normally be critical of when they get something right.

The issue I want to comment on is the management of New Zealand's crown research instituti
