Back to work folks

I'm effing sick of it!

The slime-led whingeing and whining that is.

Yes we had a bloody earthquake – very bloody indeed although it pales in comparrisson to Pakistan or Haiti (among many others) for bloodiness.

Yes people are displaced, distressed and uncomfortable.

Yes many businesses (including, probably, mine) are shagged.

BUT

The world hasn't ended!

People are remarkable creatures and they (we) will overcome these obstacles and come again.

Already people are returning to normal, albeit with a new story to tell and alrteady there seems to be competition to tell the most horriffic story.

I was one of the lucky ones, changing my normal routine and consequently saving my own bacon (and probably my ass) by being nowhere near central Christchurch, Lyttleton (where I'd been until 11:30 that morning) or the Port Hills when calamity struck and so I have to listen to theirs.

That's not what I'm sick of.

This morning's The Press headlines a family who say they are constantly scared. They're not alone for christs sake, the whole bloody province stiffens up when the pre-quake rumble happens. Then we let our breath escape, think “that was a good 'un” or “tiddler that time” or similar and carry on with whatever we were doing.

No news there at all.

Stuff today (and probably The Press) carried a story of how Shirley Boys High was now combined with Papanui High School but did not comment on the good deed by Papanui that saw that possible, did not remark on how, now, Papanui High School will be able to field a competitive rugby team.

No, it whinged about how SBH boys have to travel across to Papanui (Not, incidently, a hell of a long way).

Other news today has been about the City Council attempting to make CHCH safe by “deconstructing” dangerously unstable buildings but being thwarted by the Save Our Dangerous Buildings So They Can Kill Someone Else crowd, led of course by the bloody Red party nutters.

I could understand them if they were protesting about the term “deconstruct” being used instead of demolish but no, they're stopping CHCH people from moving safely because their building is old or, in one case, because they don't know where they can set up again – Green/Red wankers!

Only the stupid bloody slime would side with anyone against getting CHCH safe and working again.

No bloody more! Let's just get on with rebuilding Christchurch, getting people into employment and getting Christchurch's biggest industry, tourism, restarted.

Fuck the slime, fuck the communists, full speed ahead!
