Foolish Fiona

From the herald

"An Auckland couple are desperately trying to get back $20,000 they paid to a company that promised to make their children international stars."

Having failed to get her children in the spotlight via obviously foolish avenues, Fiona Campbell resorts to the tried and true "I've been scammed, take my sad picture and put it in the paper" method.

An idiot either way.

Reserve Bank leaves OCR unchanged, issues warning

Reserve Bank Governor Allan Bollard, this morning, announced the official cash rate is to remain at a record low of 2.5% but warned hard times are ahead if New Zealanders refused to stop fucking with him.

The Governor appeared unsteady on his feet this morning as he addressed a small congregation of journalists and economic analysts.

Dr Bollard painted a picture of a slightly improving economic conditions but warned that constant attempts by the New Zealand public to 'hide [his] slippers' and 'slip Milton [his aging border terrier] cruel mixtures of laxatives and sleeping pills' would eventually be responded to with 'hard as fucking nails retribution'

Sources close to the Reserve Bank head have attributed this mornings unusual announcement to the Governor's recent private foray into chemical engineering.

The storm had broken, lucky Pug.

Quote of the day

A CEO runs a competitive business that has to earn money. The council is a monopoly that does not have to earn money. It just demands money from ratepayers. So Mr Marryatt’s job is merely to oversee the spending of a guaranteed income.
