In Newtown there is an office called The Phobic Trust. I wanted to know what it did, but I was afraid to ask.

Pricey but worth it.  I've bought trousers & 3/4 pants.  Good quality & good service.  You can land them about $NZ40 less than retail here.  I've only seen them in Comrades, the army surplus store in Cuba St.  They come from Thailand.  Be careful of the exchange rates.

I have just bought a 250g jar of British marmite from The Co-op. I think I might have paid 65p more than Sainsbury's. I will have to buy another one tomorrow, I guess.  Then I will have two jars of marmite.

Nah, Pic's Really Good Peanut Butter - No Salt (from Nelson) & strawberry jam sandwich ftw!!  Pic's is about twice the price of ETA but it's worth it.

We used to go up to peeps who wore camo trousers and say things like "I'm so sorry but how did you lose your legs?" They'd say "what do you mean?" and you'd say "it's tragic that this has happened to you, how do you live with no legs?" eventually, (the goal was to keep it going), we'd go "Ahhhh you're wearing Camouflage trousers! And I thought you had no legs!" and then walk off. It was easy to do when young and the world was full of crusties and New Model ARmy followers.

'Hamilton Astronomical Society president Dave Owen loved the idea, but thought it impractical, because the Enterprise was designed to travel vast interstellar distances, rather than within the solar system.

 

"It's possible to build a large ship like this with modern technology, but the idea of making it look like the Enterprise is unnecessary," he said.

"You will spend huge amounts of money trying to get it a certain shape and there's no way it's going to have warp drive."

A better idea would be to build a space station resembling one of Star Trek's starbases, like Deep Space Nine.

"That's much more realistic than the Enterprise," he said.'

 

Killjoy!

Apparently 1 in 5 people are Chinese

There are 5 people in my family so it must be one of them

It`s either Mum or Dad, my older brother Colin or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu

But I think it`s Colin

Unfortunately we all miss out as there's only 4 in our family, and no one is called Colin either.

We don't have a Colin either, so it's not us then.  Although, I've always wanted to called our next cat Colin.  Maybe he's Chinese.

Yeah, yeah.  We all know that Terry is a massive twunt and over the hill and he should have been left out of the squad, and we all know that Roy's excuse about "football reasons" never really stacked up, but why does there need to be a summit about him?

Yes, you were overlooked for all the wrong reasons and you are still a good footballer at 34 or whatever, but please get over it.
