Was in things that make you go hmmm.

Maybe more suited to this thread?

Haha, love the response I saw in Herald today that Becks couldn't really remember John Key, he remembered Helen Clarke much better!

  They can be cooked on a grill plate or the barbecue, and brushed with the marinade during the cooking.
  
  6 pork chops
  12 crushed juniper berries
  1 teaspoon allspice
  2 sprigs thyme, chopped
  2 tablespoons chopped flat-leafed parsley
  1 finely chopped shallot
  1 tablespoon brown sugar
  2 tablespoons gin
  juice and zest of 1 orange
  salt and freshly ground black pepper
  olive oil for grilling
  fresh green beans, baby turnips and beetroot to serve
  
  Pat the pork chops dry and trim off any excess fat. Mix all the remaining ingredients together in a shallow dish, and place the pork chops in this mixture to marinate for at least an hour.
  
  Heat the barbecue or a ridged grill pan and brush lightly with olive oil. Cook chops over low to medium heat, basting occasionally with the marinade, until the meat is cooked through but still juicy (about 6 minutes each side).
  
  Serve with a fresh green bean salad tossed with a few baby turnips and beetroot and dressed with orange juice and olive oil.

 How it turned out...

Watching Rambo 3.  1 part kitsch, 1 part excruciating, 1 part ironic in terms of modern day Afghanistan.

I also keep thinking of Borat...

Yeah the whole 12 teams auto qualifying just makes it a joke. Previous winner getting auto qualifying I can understand, would also mean that there would be more games of the top level teams against mid level teams and competition for places. So many auto places is just crap.

Flying into Wgtn tonight.  Not THE roughest landing but still enough for me to be mentally hurling into the barf bags and relieved to be on terra firma.

After that we waited on the tarmac for ages for a gate to come free (ended disembarking at the "international" terminal.

Good to be home.

Christchurch.  Seems like another world.  

Just a rather hairy experience coming into Wgtn last night and then waiting on the tarmac for ages before being allowed to disembark.

Wellington hardly has an 'international terminal' - it's all one!

Ahead of the times if the new Christchurch "combined" terminal is the future as the Stuff article said :P

Hey-soos H Ker-iced!

Just flicked over to TV2 - Shortland St.  Blimmin Chris Warner and Rachel frikkin McKenna are still there!!!!!!

Bump.

Apparently Javier Mascherano tore his anus in the semi. Hnnrrgh indeed.

That's what he told the press. Next day. After the post-match celebration party and accompanying festivities.

Right through.

"Lisanne Beck and Simon Murphy have been found guilty of outraging public decency at the Old Bailey in London after upsetting fans with a public display of oral sex at the BBC Radio 2 gig, which also featured performances by Chrissie Hynde, Blondie and ELO."

Really didn't need to know that thanks media.

The way that reads is that Chrissie had a boof at the concert. What person was on the receiving of ELO. There's about 10 people in the band.

how much did it cost for tickets in the splash zone?
