Silly Sunday ditty
In the town of Wuhan some germs from an animal
Made a big leap and infected a few
Nobody thought it would be a pandemic
And now the whole world’s in a hullabaloo
It didn’t take long for the germs to go global
In planes and trains and cruises by sea
Now locked in our homes and trying to stay sober
We can’t even watch the live sports on TV
Six long months in isolation. Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months in isolation, this feckin lockdown is driving me up the wall
I tried to go out, got sent back in again, I went out again, straight back in again
Sick to death of this social distancing, finish the lockdown for once and for all
The experts say keep two metres distance
And never together in couples and groups
And eating at home is a fecking disaster,
Getting fat as a fool eating pastas and soups
Now in the UK the virus was active and got the prime minister in number 10
I hope Boris Johnson recovers completely, so we can call him a dickhead again.
Now Trump took it lightly; “ there’s no need to panic
We’re under control, tis only a flu”
So, he finally did what he promised the voters
America is First in the infections too
3 long years of Trump as president, 3 long years there was nothing at all
Talking shite and blaming China
When Mexico begs him to finish the wall
The end is in sight and the curve it is flattening
Lifting the Lockdown is yet to be seen
Washing your hands and staying at home
Is the only solution for Covid Nineteen
Six long months in isolation
The planet has never looked greener before
But back to the grind to pay off the mortgage
The world just won’t be the same anymore
unknown author but off the internet as a song
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Harrier Hawk 0823
Harrier Hawks seem to have flight routines. It was not uncommon to see one flying southwards over Burn St from the Roslyn Rd area as this one was doing. I often wondered if it was always the same hawk but anyway I've not seen it happen recently.
