AWASH WITH EXOTIC CARS


COOL RIDES

Once in a while a really cool looking ride cruises by and I do my best to get a photo of it. New Zealand is not exactly awash with exotic cars. We are a right hand drive country, like England, Australia, India, South Africa and Japan, and most cars in NZ are Japanese. (Approx 34% of the world’s cars are right hand drive, but I’m not sure most people in America realise that)

There is no car industry to protect in NZ, so there is open importing of used Japanese cars. This works brilliantly, because Japan has regulations to encourage the export of all their car fleet when they reach five years old, which means that we get to buy all their mint condition five year old used cars dirt cheap. And that is why cars are cheaper here than in Australia.

When I’m on the look out for cars to take photos of, I’m usually more interested in the non Japanese ones because they are fairly rare. There are some flash European cars here, and even a few Aussie classics, but it’s the American ones that seem really rare and exotic. Especially if the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Because they are not made by Subaru or Nissan I usually have no idea what they are, but if they sound grunty and look like a pimping ride, I get snapping. Here are a few cars I’ve noticed round the hood.

And now for some English class

Finally, for something totally different, here is a gratuitous shot of some German bling cruising downtown

They are really not trying to hide this are they?

WHY FACEBOOK IS WHERE THE ACTION IS

Facebook has been around since early 2004, and recently turned 20. Despite what they might try to make out, it's reasonably well known that it was set up by the deep state for social programing purposes and Mark Zuckerburg is just an actor playing a role. In reality he is as clueless about what he's supposed to be doing as Elon Musk or Joe Biden.

The platform has a long history of trying to censor and control content, and I'm often asked why I would bother posting on a deep state controlled platform that is attempting to program everyone's minds.

Two big plus factors for me are that it's the biggest social media platform by miles, with three billion active users, and I also think it's the best designed all round social media platform - it's really well sorted. 

YouTube is ranked at #2 but it's not actually a social media platform - it's a heavily censored collection of videos with the vast majority of the traffic and comments being very obviously done by AI. Facebook also owns WhatsApp,  Instagram, and a bunch of other platforms..


Admittedly very few of those three billion users are using it on their computers like I am. Something like 98% of Facebook users are viewing it on a mobile phone, so they are seeing a controlled algorithm feed, with all the ads. I'm viewing it on my PC or laptop and seeing a chronological feed with a lot less "sponsored posts". In fact the feed I'm seeing is a surprisingly full on and mostly uncensored exposure of the deep state narrative.

 The majority of Facebook users are apparently Indians using mobile phones, but that is another thing about FB - it's like a vast ocean and you can pretty much stick to your own area, never knowing the rest even exists.


 I don't think I've ever interacted with an Indian on a mobile phone, but who knows, it's possible half my FB friends are actually Indian tech contractors employed by the CIA and pretending to be conspiracy theorists.

BACK WHEN WOMEN'S SPORT WAS FOR WOMEN

Jarmila Kratochvílová was a Czechoslovakian track and field athlete. In 1983, she set the world record for the woman's 800 meters, which still stands as the longest-standing individual world record in athletics.
 
 

In 1983, Kratochvílová broke the 800 m world record with a time of 1:53.28. At the World Championships shortly afterwards, she set a world record of 47.99 seconds to win the 400 m.[5]

Kratochvílová's 1983 400-metre world record of 47.99 seconds stood for two years until it was broken by her great rival Marita Koch in 1985. Koch's 400-metre world record of 47.60 seconds still stands in 2024. Kratochvílová's world record on an indoor track—49.59—stood until 19 February 2023 when the 400-meter indoor world record was broken by Femke Bol from the Netherlands with a time of 49.26.[6][7][8] Koch and Kratochvílová are the only women who have broken the 48-second barrier in a laned 400-metre outdoor race.[6] Her 800-metre world record is the longest-standing unshared track record in men or women's athletics, and it was described by 1996 Olympic champion Svetlana Masterkova as ".. very fast. It's impossible for women to run so fast. It will last for 100 years."[9]

Kratochvílová was a late developer, not breaking 53 seconds for the 400 metres until she was 27, and she was 32 when she set her world records.[10]

IS RUSSELL BRAND GAY?

He seems a bit camp, so I thought I’d have a look at some of his ex girlfriends…

 

Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof (2006)

Brand was linked to the late model and television presenter Peaches Geldof, the daughter of singer and philanthropist Bob Geldof, are said to have dated for a month, according the Daily Mirror. She died in 2014 from a heroin overdose. 

She is probably not the best one to start with here because she is the most feminine looking, but this list is chronological. Being the daughter of Bob Goldof with all his highly dubious connections she was likely to have been a victim of mind control.

Kate Moss (2006)

Supermodel Kate Moss was also linked to Brand with the pair an item for a short period when she was said to be on the rebound from Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty.

Moss was later briefly married to singer-songwriter Jamie Hince.

Georgina Baillie (2006)

One of Brand’s more controversial romances was with glamour model and burlesque performer Georgina Baillie, who was also the granddaughter of Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.

The pair met at a London party but the brief romance became controversial after Brand mentioned it on his radio show with co-host Jonathan Ross, leading both of them to get dropped.

Courtney Love (2006)

Singer of Hole and Kurt Cobain’s ex-wife Courtney Love is said to have had a brief tryst with Brand after the pair met at a London party.

Teresa Palmer (2008)

Australian actress Teresa Palmer, who is known best known for the Sky TV series A Discovery of Witches, embarked on a relationship with Brand while they were working on the Adam Sandler comedy Bedtime Stories.

He later told Conan O’Brien in 2013 on his talkshow: “I had sex with her and a relationship with her and eventually that does get it out of your system.

“I hope that doesn’t sound brutal but that is the nature of the chemical imperative to procreate. I’m sorry, I didn’t design the male libido.”

Palmer is now married to American actor Mark Webber after tying the knot in 2013 and they share five children.

Holly Madison (2009)

Brand is said to have dated Holly Madison, the ex-girlfriend of Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner and The Girls Next Door reality star, after they encountered each other at a party in Las Vegas.

She later married musician Pasquale Rotella with the couple having two children but then went their separate ways in 2019.

Katy Perry (2010)

Brand’s most high-profile relationship was his whirlwind romance and short-lived marriage to singer Katy Perry after the pair worked together on a movie before they got together at the VMAs.

They were married for 14 months before Brand called time on their union via a text message in 2011.

Geri Halliwell (2012)

The sparks are said to have flown between Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and Brand at the Olympics closing ceremony but the romance didn’t last long. Halliwell married Christian Horner in 2015.

Jemima Khan (2013)

Socialite Jemima Khan and Brand were romantically linked between 2013 and 2014 and spotted together at events.

Jemima was previously married to Pakistani politician and former cricketer Imran Khan before their split.

Laura Gallacher (2017)

Brand wed again in 2017, tying the knot with businesswoman Laura Gallagher, the sister of Kirsty Gallacher.

The couple have two daughters Mabel and Peggy born in 2016 and 2018.

Well all his ex girlfriends do all seem to have a certain look, but there is no accounting for taste!

"Speaking of fairies, it is hard to believe they ever tried to sell Brand as straight, supposedly dating or marrying Katy Perry, Jemima Goldsmith and others. In that video on youtube of Messiah Complex, he doesn't hide that he is flamboyantly gay, even going out into the audience to look for a new boyfriend — who he finds in a bearded trucker in a flannel shirt. He kisses and mugs the guy, stopping just short of dry humping him. So we even know what he likes" - Miles Mathis http://mileswmathis.com
