Regardless of the outcome of this year’s driver’s championship, it should be pretty clear who the best driver on the #F1 grid was this year. And he wasn’t in an orange car.

Ok Max, job 1 of the weekend done.
Now we hope for George, Lando and Oscar to get in each others way and hopefully take Lando off the track (or at least push him back to 4th and keep him there). #F1

Running in your 50's is a great way to meet people.

Today I met 2 paramedics, 4 nurses,
2 doctors and a cardiologist.

Yes, Let’s kick nearly 10,000 people out of work and encourage 80,000 NZ’ers to leave the country and then be amazed when the tax take falls. 🤦

Nikki No Boats is dangerous and she is ruining this country. How does she still have a job!?!

Day 4 of Behemoth #Beermas and I’m a little concerned about this one.

Hophemoth, a Triple Hazy IPA comes in swinging with a mammoth 10% ABV,

With mammoth levels of New Zealand & American hops this beast has mighty levels of fruit and leaves nothing but satisfied drinkers in its wake.

Ouch. Gonna be hard for the All Blacks to advance past quarterfinals at the next World Cup!

#IKEANZ has been open for 18 minutes, and so far #IKEAPOCALYPSE is not as bad as i thought it was going to be.

unless Google Maps hasn't caught up yet.

Oh Bernard Orsman and his rage baiting click-bait headlines. FFS. I mean once you read down to the middle of his outrage over the $220M per year to run the CRL you will find that only $64M of that is actual running costs, the rest are (interest free) loan repayments to pay for the actual build.

Good grief. Here we go. Again. Must be the 4th or 5th wave of this now.

Day 3 of the Behemoth advent calendar, and after yesterday’s smack in the face with what felt like all of America we return to a nice easy drinker.

Combining some all time
favourite hops: Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado and Galaxy to bring you a medley of soft juicy flavours and aromas.

A weasel walks into a bar.

The bartender says, “Wow, l've never served a weasel before. What can I get you?"

"Pop," goes the weasel.
