Varkk posted:Is there truly a more NZ bird than the kererū. Who gets drunk on fermenting berries in late autumn and can crash in to things as it attempts to fly? I rescued a Tui that I'm pretty sure did this in my garden once. I was walking home from work (Wellington life) and approaching my flat I could hear what I thought was a car alarm or something. As I got closer I first realised it was coming from the foliage around the path from the street up to the house and then spotted a distressed tui hanging upside down from a branch. I thought it was tangled or something so I put it down on the ground expecting it to fly away. Instead it flopped around a bunch, trying but failing to fly. I thought it was hurt so I took it inside and put it in a box and called bird rescue who were completely unconcerned but told me it was probably badly injured and wouldn't survive the night, and just to give it some honeyed water and keep it warm. Next morning I took the box outside and opened it. The tui flew without problem onto the balcony railing, squawked twice ("k, thanks, bye" as my flatmate interpreted it), and took off. Apparently Tui are prone to getting drunk on fermenting nectar so I think it was just shitfaced

I'm changing my vote to seagull after seeing some people making the mistake of eating their mcdonalds in the car at the beach car park and having about 30 seagulls standing on/flying around/making GBS threads all over their car. Hilarious.

As a rugby league fan, I’ll admit it: I don’t have a loving clue what’s going on in this game. I’m guessing the TMO can disallow a try if he saw you making an illegal right turn on the way to the stadium.

Any predictions for the special vote this arvo? Phil Twyford and Tracey McLellan safe but not Deborah Russel? Nats to lose another seat and need Winston?

Definitely Nats losing another seat. Te Atatū has a 30 person lead to Angee Nicholas. Unless this is the first occasion where special votes pull right they will need NZ First. No idea what the outcome will be, but with 537,000 votes my dream would be the Greens picking up two seats and Te Pāti Māori winning more Maori electorates but no party votes for a big overhang.

here's a bad and misinformed rundown that nonetheless sums up the close races https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/03-11-2023/the-special-votes-are-released-today-and-a-lot-hinges-on-them quote:If Te Atatū, Nelson, Banks Peninsula or New Lynn fall back to Labour, that would be bad for the incoming government. Not only would it mean the need for a governing arrangement with New Zealand First How can people in NZ, including those writing about politics, still not understand MMP?

Betting national lose a few, act loses at least 1, Winston required to form government at what was it? 63? 64? seats and they only just have the exact number to get across the line. Then, it falls apart in about a year as Winston and ol' mate David fight over who gets the title of most worthless politician in the country. Luxon will be in the corner constantly fielding questions about being unable to manage them and who does he thinks is gonna take a shot at his job. Nicola Willis crashes the economy and then knifes Luxon in the back for being passed over for deputy. Then back to the polls. I can dream, right?
