Things that make you go hmmmm

What happened next?

I gave up in the end and said I'd send it through, figured it'd be easier than giving a lesson on fractions/percentages.

Good old Studylink.

Does the summer 3rd semester not count?

I didn't study over summer, they know that too.

What about correspondance/distance learning?

Good lad.  Now work on those orgies and sleeping in...

Midway Police Shut Down Girls' Lemonade Stand

Midway police bust none other than a lemonade stand, because the three girls running it didn't have a business license. The three girls thought if they sold enough lemonade, they could make money to go to the water park Splash in the Boro. Well they thought wrong. Midway police say, they're breaking city law and have to go.

�It�s kind of crazy that we couldn�t sell lemonade. It was fun, but we had to listen to the cops and shut it down,� 14-year-old Casity Dixon said.

The girls had only been opened for one day before Midway�s police chief and another officer cruised by and saw the stand.

�They told us to shut it down [and we didn't know why],� 10-year-old Skylar Roberts said.

�We had told them, we understand you guys are young, but still, you�re breaking the law, and we can�t let you do it anymore. The law is the law, and we have to be consistent with how we enforce the laws,� Midway Police Chief Kelly Morningstar said.

By a city ordinance, the girls must have a business license, peddler�s permit, and food permit to set up shop, even on residential property. The permits cost $50 a day and a total of $180 per year. City officials said it�s their job to keep everyone safe and healthy, and there can be no exceptions to the rules.

�We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with, so we acted accordingly by city ordinance,� Chief Morningstar said.

�It�s almost like they don�t have anything better to do. I�m going to let it go. I�m trying to teach them good. I don�t think if I keep on, it�ll teach them a good thing,� Amy Roberts said.

So the law wins, and what started out as three girls� dream of a fun summer business is now just a piece of plywood.

Since the lemonade stand was shut down, the girls have been doing extra chores and yard work to make money for the water park.

This is how it starts.

Innocent lemonade stand one day, then a tinny house, next thing they are peddling marmite.

Stop the rot before it's too late.

News Reporters who travel for several hours to parts of the country that are flooding then tell people to stay off the roads...

People who name their kids things like Casity and Skylar

Missed a call on my mobile. Number was from France.  Picked up the voicemail to hear a voice speaking in French. The speaker then addresses herself to my friend, who I haven't seen in years, saying that I had given her his number. I haven't as I don't have it to give. Further she has a car, with driver, ready and it will be there in an hour.

Hmmm....

Stonehenge Aoteoroa was built and used by the Phoenix Astronomical Society.

Nearby, Parkvale Mushrooms can be found at Nix Road, Carterton.Junior822012-04-14 22:52:35

Also. I feel like every second shop in Greytown should be called "I Saw You Coming" or "Modern Wank".

"The Ponsonby and Parnell of Wellington" no less!

You and Dom Post ...on the same page since way back, J82.

At the head of the queue for the lights in Newtown eariler. Waiting at a red light. As it tiurned to green a police officer ran in front of me and started directing (loose use of the word) the traffic.
One, I have no idea what he is trying to indicate and two he is front of me so I can't move. He got aggressive and started yelling at me to "move". My girlfriend popped her head out the window and pointed out he was standing in our way...    He moved and at this point a police motorcycle arrived with its lights flashing and siren going...  The drama? No drama, just trying to escort someone in their limo...


Hmmm....

Didn't know Helen Clark was back in Wellington!

Maybe this gentleman and entourage.....

....Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, with an entourage of dignitaries and officials from Beijing and Wellington, plus Chinese media, visited the Wakatipu as part of a national goodwill tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Mr Jia was the guest of Acting Prime Minister and Clutha Southland MP Bill English in Wellington last night, after the party visited the historic Chinese settlement and the Lakes District Museum in Arrowtown on Sunday and chartered the TSS Earnslaw to Walter Peak High Country Farm yesterday......
