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 in music that there are both eras of AC/DC, such as the Scott era that they used to have from 1974 until 1979 where they had by far, the best era ever until their lead singer Bon Scott passed away in that year of '79, & currently they're into the Johnson era where they have been operating since 1980, just like Linkin Park that they are still having the Armstrong era when that female vocalist Emily Armstrong from Dead Sara (The band that the Foo Fighters lead singer & rhythm guitarist of Dave Grohl is fond of) who was a co-founder of her previous band took over as the lead singer of the band since the year before (And I thought that the lead singer of that band isn't a man) because they used to have the Bennington era when the late Chester Bennington (His son Jamie convinced along with other people that they were outraged about her taking over from his late dad Chester), who used to be the frontman of the band who joined way back in 1999 a year before they released their debut album back in 2000, until 2017 where he took his own life on his late good friend Chris Cornell's birthday.
And secondly that I always say 'Away we go' once we head to town for a meal, the market or shopping when Pops takes off from home when I'm in the car, as well as me gaming every time a motor race or a sports game like rugby, cricket, league & football/soccer match starts, but I also utter the words 'Here we go again' when we take off once more or if the 2nd half of a rugby, league or football/soccer game is underway for that is inspired by the famous line from the golden droid C-3P0 (See Threepio) who is human cyborg relations on the Star Wars Return of the Jedi movie).
And thirdly that the reason why I love the country of Ireland (AKA the Emerald Isle that is not the only country that is green, dollars are too according to Patrick 'Packie' McReary from the Grand Theft Auto IV game during the heist mission of Three Leaf Clover for that really was considered the GOAT of all the GTA games in the entire series that really is the most controversial ever) is because of the music bands of both U2 that are still going or operating (Such as being active), & the Cranberries that they used to have, same as Canada (Better known as the Great White North) that I also love that country (Although Aunty Tan is now a Canadian citizen (Although she always spoke perfect Francais, because of her spending time in France of learning that language (Just like the Irish rugby referee of French descent of Alain Rolland who took charge of the 2007 men's Rugby World Cup final between England, & eventual champions South Africa, but never refereed the 2011 final between France & also the eventual champions of the AB's due to one particular controversial decision in the semi that saw Welsh skipper at the time of Sam Warburton sent off for a lifting tackle on a French player that resulted him of missing the 3rd & 4th place playoff against Australia) because of her being with Rejean who is from Canada as well) as well because of their band Nickelback as well as other musicians such as Our Lady Peace, Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne & Alannah Myles.
And finally that I'm about the same weight of 126 kg (Although I'm changed to a kilo of 127 kilos, as of July 4th) of the All Black prop during his playing days for when he made his international debut against Ireland (In which our captain at the time of Tana Umaga didn't play because of the Irish fans who were outraged by showing hostility towards him for being involved in an incident where he should've been shown the send off offence for intentionally taking Brian O'Driscoll (The British & Irish Lions skipper at the time) out of commission where he did a dirty move such as a tip tackle on him that caused the injury in which he should've probably been suspended for that in wake of the incident, but there was a heightened security presence when the AB's showed up as they arrived in Ireland that there was protectors/security managers everywhere surrounding the team by guarding them according to Jim Kayes the rugby correspondent on the All Blacks 2005 Grand Slam doco which was shown on Sky Sport last year (And there was the match against England where we knocked the scum off just like the late Sir Edmund Hillary who famously said it according to Mils Muliaina that ended in a close encounter (Including the try scored by Umaga, was his 37th & last in test rugby (Same as the late great Jonah Lomu) where he attempted a dive that went terrible, & wayward) just before the Scotland test which was Tana Umaga's last game as an All Black when he retired from international rugby) way back in 2005 (That's 2 years before the only time we lost in a men's Rugby World Cup quarterfinal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for that was against the hosts at the time of France who hadn't conceded a penalty by the English referee for the final 50 minutes of the game so we had got the wrong picture there, compared to having the right picture when we won in 2011 at home according to the Richie McCaw: the Openside autobiography book) of John Afoa (Who grew mutton chops as he reminisced the good old days during the retro/throwback tours such as the 70s), because of me being built like a forward while Pops is still in his rugby playing weight is like being built like a back (And during his rugby playing days that he first started as a winger, then a midfielder followed by a loose forward, & then a lock forward as I heard from one of Pops stories that I remember from the past).
So that is my 697th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 49th of this year, viva Ukraine.
