Last Notes npub16fcfpjvhmjut4wp62t6c5kf50fxkhjw7lcyghzh6xcsy2uluurvsytzpfa essjax Kind of sweet how the NZ election has united people across the aisles and the whole political spectrum in a shared disgust of what panned out. Nobody is happy. Good job nz. Nice work. npub16fcfpjvhmjut4wp62t6c5kf50fxkhjw7lcyghzh6xcsy2uluurvsytzpfa essjax Paul Henry is a disgusting racist, sexist piece of shit. How can they have him on TV? Absolutely gross. And now he's going to be in government. npub16fcfpjvhmjut4wp62t6c5kf50fxkhjw7lcyghzh6xcsy2uluurvsytzpfa essjax #nzpol what the fuck is wrong nz people, omg. For Fucks sake. Talk about voting against your best interests, you dicks. *breathe* npub16fcfpjvhmjut4wp62t6c5kf50fxkhjw7lcyghzh6xcsy2uluurvsytzpfa essjax NZ folks if you accidentally put your tick in the wrong place, you can scrap it and ask for another one.

More. npub16fcfpjvhmjut4wp62t6c5kf50fxkhjw7lcyghzh6xcsy2uluurvsytzpfa essjax This is a bit of a stretch so bear with me: a friend from work's wife has a friend who knows Russell Brand's family. She says that RB wasn't always a disgusting rapist. He was, apparently, fairly normal, but grew into it as his fame grew. The journos egged him on. They wanted his foul, shocking stories, fed on them, powered the gross machine. npub16fcfpjvhmjut4wp62t6c5kf50fxkhjw7lcyghzh6xcsy2uluurvsytzpfa essjax Solar power folk: this is going to seem odd. But do your solar panels make a noise, at dawn and dusk?
