LIVING VICARIOUSLY

FROT November 25, 2019

Get a dose of speed. Long ago in the 90’s I was into the new sport of downhill mountainbiking. Back then we started out riding hardtails with three inch travel forks and it was like racing kango hammers. We got punished! These days I’m a broken old fart who makes creaking noises walking down stairs, […]

MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME

FROT October 23, 2019

ROCK OUT AND GO OFF LIKE A FREAK Music is a very personal thing, and this is a list of my own favourite albums, not an attempt at definitive music history. All the descriptions here are copied from the music site All Music. The only original thing about this list is that it’s sorted by year. […]

AWASH WITH EXOTIC CARS

FROT August 26, 2019

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. […]

FROT July 10, 2019

JOHN LYDON INVENTED ALL THE COOLEST MUSIC There was a time when music was the real deal but that ended decades ago Most old farts know that John Lydon invented punk in 1977 with his band The Sex Pistols. Never Mind The Bollocks immediately changed the face of music.   Just one year later in […]

BACK WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND CARS WERE AS WELL

FROT May 17, 2019

BACK WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND CARS WERE AS WELL Get hard and go off Back in the 70’s “trans” didn’t mean some ladyboy in a mini skirt. It meant a hardcore car like a 1973 Ford Mustang Trans Am. No padded airbags up front And no extra fat padding for the arse either   […]

CUTE PICTURES OF CATS

FROT December 22, 2018

People sometimes ask me ” Why are you always going on about conspiracies and bad shit – haven’t you got any cute cat pictures?” Well actually I do have the odd one or two, and maybe today would be a good day to share a few random cat pictures. Here are a few good pictures […]

Taking Photos in the Weta Workshop

FROT June 23, 2017

Taking Photos in the Weta Workshop. There are really only two rules at the Weta workshop. No photos and no touching stuff. Despite living just down the road in a neighbouring suburb @kiwideb and I have never been to the world famous Weta workshop. Recently we took a tour and it was very cool. When […]

DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY

FROT May 11, 2017

DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY Eight months ago, soon after I first discovered Steemit because @corbettreport recommended it, I did a post about worry Recently I was looking for that post to send the link to someone and ended up re-reading it. Wow I thought, if I say so myself, that was a darn good post. […]

AMERICAN GODS JUST BLEW MY DOORS OFF

FROT May 5, 2017

AMERICAN GODS JUST BLEW MY DOORS OFF Yesterday we sat down and watched episode one of the new American Gods TV series. We’ve been anticipating it for a while, but I was a bit uncertain that it was going to be possible for any TV show to capture the brilliance of Neil Gamain’s astonishing book. […]
