The ASB Prem of NZ cinema.
So are you saying that Geoff Murphy is the Bluemagic of the NZ film industry?
And Taika Waititi the Aaron Clapham of NZ film?
Who's Jeremy Christie? Temuera Morrison?
Steve Walshe's refereeing ability.
$120 for a 10 minute check up and X-rays at the dentist. I think I better find a new one!

Wait til he tells you that you need an implant - "$8,000 to $11,000". "The price of a small car," he adds, grinning. Then adds, grinning again: "Of course you could get it done cheaper in Thailand. But you'd have to stay a couple of months. Or go there twice."
Still cheaper. Then again get it pulled for $150 or ask a gang member to remove it for you for free...or two beers.

John Banks: TV3 film him pulling something from his ear and allegedly eating it during the afternoon session of his trial last week. Today a judge drawing everyones attention to the incident which he said he was stopping by banning TV3 from any future and past coverage from said trial.
Like 99% of others, I didnt know about this but now we do and all I can say is yuk yuk yuk. Now John Banks is further embarassed as people like me laugh at his expense, where if no one had made a comment about it in the first place, no one would have realised or known about it. Judges, you just gotta love them, sometimes for adding humour to something.

$2000 to get told that your wife might have a kidney stone. Murica.

My mother's doctor recently charged her $75 for telling her she needed to drink a glass of tonic water per day for her arthritis.
Which Dr or should I ask "
Witch Doctor?"

If you don't speed, you won't get fined.
Very true, but the cynical side of me says it's a revenue making exercise. They are not that major accident zones and therefore accident prevention is a bit of a long bow excuse.
But it'll only gather revenue from those who speed. And it's not like that revenue is going toward lining anybody's pocket. It'll actually be out to good use (presumably).
So it discourages people from speeding. Fines those who do. And raises money to go toward something useful.
Yep, horrible idea. Those bastard cops.
I thought the monies raised went into the consolidated fund. Quite true of course - don't speed.
I do wish they would start hammering those that go too slow. Despite what some people imagine, the River Rd for example is actually 100km not 70km.
And it's quite amazing how those slow coaches always seem to find the accelerator when they hit a passing lane and try and race anyone wishing to pass them before they slow down again.
One of the Sky rugby presenters described Eden Park as the "cultural home" of world rugby. Just no.
I thought Twickers was that? Eden Park? You're having a laugh.
I think you could only argue that it's the home of NZ rugby because all of the other grounds with strong history don't exist anymore.
Considering the game was invented in the town of Rugby, I would have thought it was not just the spiritual home but all else too.

Pretty chilling story.

I only skimmed the article coz I was a bit tipsy but I think it's about human/dolphin communication encounters?
Sounds similar to a bloke called Malcolm Brennar who was employed by a Marineland-esque place in California to photograph dolphins. he ended up "communicating" with one particular dolphin and ultimately f*cking her. Much stories online. He wrote a book about the whole thing called Wet Goddess which is mostly about his encounters with the dolphin with a splash (heehee) of secksual activity.
Sounds like he spent a lot of time tripping on acid though so who knows.
The very fact that you know this makes you a legend.... or nutty...

That's unusual and I've not heard it before which is odd in itself given my name and also I'm fairly up to speed on psychoactive substances and their users, being into the weird.
Very, very sad and strange.
Cheers though I'll give you a thanks.

Ah no all good it was a work of fiction but obviously talking about some interesting themes as well as writing fiction to shock.
Thanks still warranted.
He claims it is autobiographical and based on events that happened to him.
It opens up a whole raft of questions. He has a blog as well which has some interesting (read: messed up) concepts.
Just going by the link title, I can see a Jerry Springer show on the horizon. Anyone else remember the show he did where a guy married his horse on stage? All those who didn't say Nay!

I just took the first one again and changed rice & noodles to bangers & mash and got UK.
I am what I am.
