it's thursday today

it's a lovely day in the thriving [not really thriving] slum district of naenae. the sun is up and about though, and i do like it.
off to christchurch [the garden city] on monday morning to investigate a job. basically it's to see if we love each other.
i have been listening to the radio this morning. they were talking about the 'gang' problems here in naenae. it's uncanny just how far from reality they are. it was almost funny.

it was interesting to see northland maori are going to have a go at the british govt over the treaty. they did sign a doc that said [article 3 of said treaty] "the same rights and privileges as british subjects." i wouldn't hold your breath if i were you. they're asking for pensions and passports. interesting that, that should arise not one week after i discussed it with my m8 the painter.
the talk back this morning was quite racist about it [the possible treaty claim]. not helpful.
the kiwis play oz in rugby league this weekend. i hope we win. it will be tough. they are the best at this game.
