YOU GOTTA MOVE

I really liked this song when I first heard it and it has been a lifelong favourite.
The version I first heard and have listened to over the years has been the Rolling Stones' one on the album Sticky Fingers. I guess I'm not alone in thinking it was the definitive one.

This original one from the writer Mississippi Fred McDowell (don't you love those names? Maybe Richard (of RBB) should be calling himself 'Garden Road, Kelburn Richard Prowse') is better than the 'Stones' version.

Moving. Moving on. Yes, I think it's time. Not from where I live though. Bugger that. It is just so nice here. This weekend the weather is marvellous. I've been swimming each day (my weekend starts on Friday and goes through to Tuesday) and pottering about. Its been too hot to go walking and climbing the mountains around here - maybe tomorrow (early).

No, I'm thinking that it's time to move on work-wise. I will start looking soon for something a bit closer to home. I love it here.

AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT RHYMES WITH PROSSER

This fat fool made headlines this week in New Zealand and unfortunately has been reported overseas.

His ridiculous and racist comments, published in an article he wrote for a magazine clearly show how he should not be representing anyone in parliament.

This is a by-product of MMP, that flawed electoral system we (unbelievably) have, where people no-one votes for can get to parliament as an MP on a party ticket. This time its NZ First party.

But ..... then again his comments do reflect the opinions of a disturbingly high number of New Zealanders who are racist,insular and downright ignorant. Maybe collectively these morons would have voted the fat fool in anyway.
