Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first onto the motor racing stuff such as IndyCar being featured in the Forza Motorsport (2023) game with the Dallara DW12 car, complete with aero screen (Created in 2020 in response to the fatal accident that took the life of Brit Justin Wilson back at Pocono back in 2015) similar to the halo (It was introduced also back in 2018 in the aftermath of Jules Bianchi who was involved in a serious accident at the Japanese Grand Prix back in 2014 that forced him into a coma, a year before his tragic passing through serious concussion as his life support had been switched off, in which motor racing can be a dangerous sport similar to rugby, league & gridiron) in Formula One, Super Formula, Formula 2, & various other open wheel racing series, but driving the updated version of the DW12, reminds me of a feel driving that Gran Turismo F3500-A in the Gran Turismo 7 game as well as both Super Formula SF19 & SF23 cars that are also in GT7 (While Formula 2 does appear in the F1 games since F1 2019, as well as Super Formula appears on Gran Turismo since GT Sport, & IndyCar makes an appearance on the Forza Motorsport series since Forza Motorsport 5).
And secondly that anti-bacterial toothpaste may be bad for them according to the new study so me & Pops have got to stay away from it, just like fruit juices which are also bad for them because it may be cancer causing due to it being too sugary, also according to another study (Unless we dilute them so we can definitely trim the sweetness between them).
And thirdly in the music department that the all girl Mexican rock group from Monterrey of the Warning (Known for their hits of 'Six Feet Deep', 'MORE', & 'S!CK' that are part of our current era of rock, compared to Black Sabbath (Who my Dad is a fan of along with the Rolling Stones (One of my fave songs from that band is 'Gimme Shelter', but I like 'Paint it Black', 'Start Me Up' & 'Angry' as well), the late Bob Marley, Pink Floyd (My favourite song from that band is 'Comfortably Numb', but I like 'Time') & AC/DC (Also my fave song from that band during the Brian Johnson era would have to be 'Thunderstruck', but also like 'Back in Black', as well as 'TNT' (My fave Bon Scott era AC/DC song) & 'Highway to Hell'), but one of my favourite songs is 'Paranoid', but I like 'War Pigs' (American rock band Faith No More once covered it) & 'Iron Man' as well) first as part of the old generation of rock & metal, then Metallica during the golden generation, as well as Linkin Park for the millennial generation, & Twenty One Pilots during the modern generation (One of my fave songs from the band would be 'Stressed Out', but I also like 'Holding on to You', 'House of Gold', 'Car Radio', 'Heathens', 'Overcompensate', as well as 'The Contract', & 'Drum Show', but the reason why I love Twenty One Pilots? Is that Brian FM always plays them), just right before the Warning exactly taking over during the current era) sounding a bit like both Evanescence (Whom I'm a fan of as part of the women in rock along with Alanis Morissette (Whom I'm hooked into her music, but my fave song from her is 'Thank U', but I like 'U Learn', 'Head Over Feet' & 'Ironic' as my other favourites) & Avril Lavigne (The first time I heard her was in 2002 upon hearing my favourite song 'Complicated', but I also like 'Sk8ter Boi' as well as my number 2) according to the previous blogs that I did), & the Emily Armstrong era Linkin Park (Another one of my fave bands & musicians as part of the women in rock along with Morissette, Lavigne, Evanescence (The first time I heard that band was listening to one of my fave songs from the band 'Bring Me to Life', but I like 'Going Under' which is also my 2nd favourite) & the aforementioned band of the Warning as I mentioned on my previous blogs), mainly because of its vocals provided by one of the Villareal Velez sisters of Daniela (Better known as Dany who is the sister of bass player Alejandra (Ale), & drummer Paulina (Pau) the blonde one, & a bit of Royal Blood mainly due to one of their hit songs of 'MORE' (In which the song (Which is my favourite song from the all-girl Mexican rock group) sounds like 'Trouble's Coming' & 'Oblivion', but it's mainly 'Typhoons' according to the previous blogs that I did, also compared to that other song 'S!CK' (One of the songs from band that I like along with 'Six Feet Deep' (Which sounds a bit like Steriogram ('Get Up & Go'), Bleeders ('She Screamed She Loved Me'), Twenty One Pilots ('Drum Show'), some Radiohead ('Paranoid Android'), then Stellar* (Part of Me), Queens of the Stone Age ('My God Is the Sun'), as well as Korn ('Alone I Break'), & the late Chris Cornell ('Can't Change Me') exactly sounds like a combination of mainly 'Over Each Other' by Linkin Park, a little bit of 'Come Back Around' by Feeder, as well as a bit of 'Ain't My' & 'The Memory Remains' by Metallica).
And finally that the All Blacks have named our team to play against England (Who haven't beaten us in international rugby since the men's Rugby World Cup back in 2019 during the semifinal at Yokohama in Japan where Manu Tuilagi (Whose chances of playing in the 2015 tournament had been rocked with suspension that let him down) had scored the winning try, & held on to the lead until the finish where they put themselves to their first final since 2007 where they took on South Africa for their unsuccessful challenge of the William Webb Ellis trophy, but the last time that the English did that against New Zealand at Twickenham was in 2012 where the AB's team had been affected by the novovirus bug that our players experienced, & since that we're on a 7 game unbeaten stretch, including the draw in 2022 that we should've won) in our toughest test of the grand slam tour for our penultimate test of the year at Allianz Stadium Twickenham in London (Our last meeting between the two was last year where George Ford had the chance to win the game not once but twice, including a penalty goal that would have put themselves into the lead following Anton Lienert-Brown who had been given a 10 minute suspension for a dangerous tackle which deemed to be at fault, then Ford had the chance to win the game with a field goal that he did before against Argentina a couple of times during the men's RWC in France in 2023, but it had gone astray as the AB's cling on as the victors), so here is the team naming in its entirety according to our AB's coach of Razor:

22 (Reserve midfielder): Anton Lienert-Brown (Who returns to the fold as he replaces Billy Proctor who is elevated to the starting XV at centre for his first All Black game since the Argentina test in Cordoba, with Leicester Fainga'anuku moving to the left wing to replace the concussed Caleb Clarke who is all but ruled out of the England test)
& 23 (Reserve back): Damian McKenzie.
So that is my 637th blog of the year 2025 (MMXXV) & my 61st of this year, viva Ukraine.

Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
