Fridays Musings

Probus this morning. The day has been altered from the usual Friday due to Good Friday.

What is in the news - Pita Sharples and his hangers on are still going on about wanting separate Maori seats in the new proposed Auckland Super City Council.

John Banks, for all his faults, says, quite correctly, that Apartheid has gone the way of the Dodo. Thank heaven. It seems is has for some but not for others. Does it appear to be 1984 Orwellian that the 'racists' are now those who want equality and those that promote 'separatism' are not promoting racism.

Their thinking again is beyond me . Every weekend their like coloured kin compete on the Rugby field on a pure competence basis with no problem - in fact probably Pakeha are underrepresented. Do we complain and want special places put aside for Pakeha in the Hurricanes. Of course not - if we are not good enough then we don't get selected.

Phil Spector has now been convicted of murder - great musician but appears crazy.

Tony Veitch. The message from this episode is if you are going to get beaten up, make sure it is by somebody really rich in the public eye. How such a simple case with very few witnesses apart from the two involved and medical records could take up to two years to come to Court is mind boggling. He says he wants to now put it all behind him - but he also says that he intends to continue it by saying he will look at legal action against the media. If I was him I would just shut up and let sleeping dogs lie.

When playing my CD's I alway look to see if there are any cracks. Not surprsingly the expensive ones are just as prone to cracking as the cheap ones - SKC are the worst.

Mel Gibson is to get divorced. Coming from a Catholic sect that is far to the right of the church it is strange to see this happening. They say it will be the most expensive divorce to date US$500 million???
