FROT
Here is a gallery of photos showing the extent of the damage to the Hawkes Bay area of New Zealand, February 2023. This gallery has already become pretty large with more than 300 photos, which I’m adding to as I find more. Like most of my galleries it is set up to display in random […]
SCENIC PHOTOS FROM NEW ZEALAND
FROT
Who needs a holiday in Cambodia – now is a great time for a holiday in New Zealand! Here are some photos I saw online today. I live in Wellington, about 4 hours drive away from the hard hit areas. Here it has been raining excessively for the past year and even some normies are […]
Convoy NZ 2022 – Days 11 to 13 – things get real and very confusing!
FROT
I went downtown on Friday night to hold some VFF signs for an hour or so. Signs expressing some pretty simple concepts but that certainly pushed some people’s buttons.

Fascinating photos from the 1920s and 30s show the dramatic and tragic side effect of the golden age of […]

DO DRUGS GO WITH THAT BICYCLE?
FROT
DO DRUGS GO WITH THAT BICYCLE? BACK IN THE 90’S WE WERE A BIT MORE HARDCORE When a friend said she remembered Cuba Street, Wellington as being “bohemian” in 97, and I laughed and said that by 97 it had already become a safe space for office dwellers to visit and pretend they were living […]
