Local elections need 'characters' and boy-o-boy do Christchurch have one

By /
Mr Michael Hansen, Christchurch serial election contenderA mate down in Christchurch has just put me onto their very own serial election contender, a Mr Michael Hansen. He is running in all three of the elections - Mayor, Councillor and DHB.

It seems that Mr Michael Hansen has been running for local Christchurch office positions for quite some time with such memorable party names as Nifty (2004 - Candidates for Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board), Haughty Naughty Nudist (2004 - Spreydon-Heathcote Ward for Council), Economic Euthenics Party (Christchurch Central by-election 1979)

Of course it's easy to laugh ... that's probably why I do.
I will say nothing about his policies, his stance on 'rays' and his party names ... you be the judge with the following taken from the official, council printed and delivered pamphlets!

CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL - Election of Mayor
Michael HANSEN - Economic Euthenics

The main issue this election is the treatment of mayoral 3rd party candidates, the use of a type of ray which can pass thru walls and sting, slow cook and annoy candidates to try to tireout and upset them before nomination day, should not be happening during the time of a Labour Govt. The use of an offensive tingle ray at meetings, and looking inside candidates houses and stinging them on the head with cellphone-lasers is disgracefull, there is no co-operation from the Labour Govt police, Remember, it is not compulsory to vote, but if you do vote, vote for me.

CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL - Election of TWO (2) Councillors for the Spreydon/Heathcote Ward
Michael HANSEN - Sabotaged truck under labour

Cheviot St needs to be cleaned up. The use of an electronic cruelty machine which is some kind of ray which can pass thru walls and sting people, needs house to house searches by the police to locate the machine. There are too many strange cars besetting properties, cars have been sabotaged, houses burgled and a likely rape - I had to intervene with the axe, but he got his own way in the end. The small unmarked noisy plane which is constantly disturbing the peace in Spreydon-Cashmere should be banned.

CANTERBURY DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD - Election of SEVEN (7) Members of the Canterbury District Health Board
Michael HANSEN - Electronic Schizophrenia

There is no such thing as schizophrenia. It is all done with microphones, and microwave surveilence, and the use of a ray which can go thru walls to sting and annoy victims. The talking can be tape recorded and taken to the Labour Govt Police, whom refuse to listen to it. No one should be “jailed” in Sunnyside hospital without a release date. It is politically too easy to put people in a Mental hospital, and put them on drowsy medication.

“Thrush” in men is another neglected issue under Labour, it is a myth men do not get it; if it gets into the works, they spread it from woman to woman. The CDHB should run an advertising campaign encouraging men and their partners to seek treatment. You should not have to work with men with “thrush”.

Conflict of Interest Statement
I state in good faith that to the best of my knowledge and belief, as at the date of my consenting to nomination that I have no conflict(s) of interest with the Canterbury District Health Board. I state in good faith that to the best of my knowledge and belief, as at the date of my consenting to nomination that I do not believe that conflict(s) of interest with the Canterbury District Health Board are likely to arise in the future.

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

The office has all been moved around - new desks (with starter handles to raise and lower them), new high(er) speed network and ... the same old work. At least I have a differing view of the world, my team (well, the team I'm a part of not "my" team) is a lot closer - finally - and it's like an office from the 80's ... or even a classroom. But I still have time to move the crap off the PC : ------ Any man who hates dogs and loves whiskey can't be all bad. Anyone who hates Dogs and Kids Can't be All Bad. Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Who stole the cork from my breakfast? Now don't say you can't swear off drinking, it's easy. I've done it a thousand times. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit, no use being a damn fool about things.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how is your day going?

Image
So many people have had me ask them this simple question, " On a scale of 1 to 10, how is your day going? (where 1 is as low as it can get)" Once the person responds, you then simply askm " Is there anything I could do to help move it from a 6 to a 7? " (or . . . "from a 3 to a 4" or "from a 10 to an 11"). Just reach out and ask ... I cannot recommend this highly enough as both for support people / friends / family that are keeping an active eye on someone in their life, but also just as a great way to connect not matter what the situation. So where did it come from - this is a technique that Jane McGonicall  ( @avantgame ) picked up from her friend Michael, a philanthropist and entrepreneur and uses in a Super Better "quest" called Plus-One Better - here are the complete instructions.
