Sunburn: My 4th Blog of the year 2026

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 things first that the new schedule for the inaugural World Rugby Nations Cup has been released with the All Blacks set to play at home against France, Ireland & Italy, & away against England, Scotland & Wales before the finals take place at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham which is exactly inside the 2 international windows in both July & November this year (And the new competition has drawn parallels to both cricket's Champions Trophy, & football/soccer's Confederations Cup that they used to have).

And secondly that both occasions that my life had changed dramatically not once but twice according to the previous blogs that I did after both the late Nan passed away back in January 2016 (It's been a decade on since that fateful day on the 6th), then the late Carole Webb in November 17th last year, but let's not forget both of me & Pops friends such as Matt Pine who passed in August 2021 (That's exactly 5 years after the late Nan passed away) right before COVID Delta began & 4 years later that Leon Benbaruk also passed in March last year 8 months due to health problems before the late Carole who unfortunately passed away that shocked her son Andy & his wife Kels who are heartbroken & emotional about the loss of her which came through as a surprise.

And thirdly that I have revealed that my fave rugby commentator is, & it is Grant Nisbett (AKA the voice of New Zealand rugby), but I like Tony Johnson (Who is the other voice of New Zealand rugby), & it used to be the late Bill McLaren (The Scotsman who was once the voice of rugby until his retirement way back in 2002), but I also revealed that who my favourite cricket commentator, & it is Ian Smith (An ex-New Zealand player), but I like David Gower (A former England player) & Ian Bishop (A former player who is the current voice of West Indies cricket (It used to be the late Tony Cozier) as well as being a fanatic of gospel music according to one of his stories during commentary of the New Zealand-West Indies test at Bay Oval in Tauranga), & it used to be the late Richie Benaud (A former Aussie player who was once known as the voice of cricket), then the late Tony Greig (A South African born Englishman who once lived in Australia after his playing career had ended until his passing, & mainly supports 3 countries in cricket such as South Africa by birth, England by blood, & Australia by residency), & Bill Lawry (A retired commentator who doesn't watch cricket these days mainly because he is into pigeons).

And lastly that we're now under a strict lights out regime by 9:30pm (I should stop gaming by 9:15pm before the 15 minute cut off threshold applies) according to a new study that Pops is worried about the power usage who read that we must conserve power from now on overnight, especially the modem & one of the gaming consoles that it uses a heap (And it's mainly due to inflation that caused that dreadful invasion that has since been going since 2022 (But that damn war will never stop, because this could go on forever).

So that is my 652nd blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 4th of this year, viva Ukraine.
