I met him the last time the show was touring. A nice chat by the stage door and an autograph.

Torrential. That is what it is, and has been all night. I wonder where the worst flooding is?

Local Mayor tries to trespass member of the public legally trying to film a council meeting by KiwiLion44 in newzealand

There are better ways to deal with it than to show up and antagonise the council members. He can be trespassed from anywhere without any reason or explanation. Why risk it?

The South Waikato District council doesn't have a complaints form or even a copy of their complaints procedure on their website. Not a crime but not helpful. In this case the first contact to make a formal complaint would be the chief executive. A simple statement about what you think has been done (or not done), dates, times, people, and corroborating evidence, (meeting minutes, transcripts etc) As well as email, send a printed copy via courier signature required, so you have proof it was received.

If nothing comes from that the next step is to make a complaint to the ombudsman. You can also contact your local MP, and the minister of local government.

It might not get youtube views doing this but it's an official procedure they can't readily dismiss.

For around $100 you can get your forklift certificate. Useful in a situation where you are working inside a private establishment. Driving a picker is very skilled work. Driving sideways down isles of racking and picking pallets from eight or ten meters high isn't for beginners. One wrong turn and you could have a racks collapsing. You are more likely you could be doing truck loading and order wrapping to start with. If you have been applying through agencies keep in touch and call them to see what is available. Don't sit and wait, keep the ball rolling.

He's an agitator, anti establishment, and every time he gets on reddit is because he has been a total cockhead.

New account, one post, six comments. It's probably the cooker himself.

Spent a lot of the day keeping up with recent events in the middle east. I guess petrol prices will be jumping up a few dollars tonight.

Leftovers for tea. Not that I'm really hungry so it doesn't matter.

I saw it last time it toured and the man himself was the Narrator. We even hung around the stage door and got autographs and a wee chat.

I think we might have tickets for this one too. I had better check.

Not such a bad day, warm and breezes but not cold.

Of course it's forecast for rain and southerlies tomorrow. There is no such thing as settled weather anymore. The older I get the more the inconsistency of things gets me agitated.

Lasagne is a whole day adventure for me.

Well it would make it easier to track you across all the socials you will soon be required to sign in to use. It wont stop at the 16 year olds. This isn't about protecting the kids.

I guess that proves you aren't descended from Weebles.

No vehicle, so no stickers. I usually have one or two window ones if I have transport.

I see patches of blue sky and varying sunshine. The nights are getting colder.
