 Just read the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal to find out what has been happening to NZ troops in Afghanistan. The PM when asked about stuff, yesterday, that was in the WSJ article DAYS AGO said he couldn't comment. It's in the public domain already, FFS.


Why are our politicians and our NZ mainstream media serving NZers so BADLY with information about what is happening to NZers in Afghanistan???

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

This mildly annoys me.  In the Herald th PM is quoted as referring to Beckham as "thick as batshit".

While this may be factually correct, it's not really his prerogative to pass such comment.

Becks was/is paid a lot of money to be a footballer, he happens to be married to Posh, they happen to be both famous and wealthy, and as it turns out they seem to be quite nice people.

They're not famous for being scientists with extensive publications in the Journal for Very Smart People.

What it meant to say was that the people who love the Beckhams are as "thick as batshit"! The Beckhams themselves are the batshit!

BTW I think the correct term is "pigshit".

How thick is batshit anyway? And relative to what? What is the thickest type of shit?

I think Beckham shit would be the thickest. Especially if pigshit is thicker than batshit!

Very surprised that Key made this comment.

Fact is that millions of people have heard of DB and seen his talent but probably very few know who Mr Key is and he sure has done nothing to make himself famous.

1. Logic would dictate that pigshit is indeed thicker than batshit (unless it was a very small pig and a very large bat)
2. Beck's no 2s wouldn't smell.

Regardless of who is more famous, it came across as a bit of a cheap and unnecessary shot.

The thing about Becks (and to a certain extent Posh as well) - they have never set out to be social commentators or making statements/valued judegements other than whatever charridy work that all celebs do.

It's a bit like putting the boot into SuBo because while she has a good voice she isn't a 20 yo stunning lass with eyes as beguiling as wor Cheryl's (Tweedy), and also a bit simple. Although that is a bit more grey as that was an entertainment competition where those factors can be important.

I could say "I think Mr Key is doing a reasonable job in guiding NZ through some tough economic times and I support his gummn'ts goal of encouraging innovation and supporting economic growth, but I hear that he likes listening to Sheena Easton's 'Morning Train (9 to 5)' and Racy's 'Some Girls Do'. What an arse."

I think Mr Key is showing us the way to make ourselves feel better about ourselves and the world. This is an important step in the nation's feelings of self worth. Nigel Latta take note.

Defaults.

Don't get me wrong.  Any time Stokes Valley CINA want to default to the Nighthawks for a game in a howling wind and driving rain that has been relocated to Trafalgar Park they should feel free.

However, defaulting a 13:45 game of indoor at 13:30 when I'm all set to walk out the door all kitted up is just fucking annoying.  I miss out on a run, an escape from work and the chance to abuse my workmates, all because you can't send three people along and try and round up a couple more from the dozens usually keen to back-up for a game.

I don't partuicularly like Queen's Wharf indoor but it has a lot less suck than work so defaulters can seriously Get fucked.

How's my driving? - Whine here

When you can hear people in the office talking on the phone about something they know NOTHING about, when the phone call should have gone to you.

Being treated like I know nothing about my job.

Anyone know of any jobs going?

When you keep dropping hints to a forum member that you've figured out who they are in real life, and the hints are slightly creepy because that would be funny in real life, but since they don't get the hint, it just comes across as creepy.

Are you sure it would be funny?  or are you just saying so to make yourself feel less creepy?

Getting sick.  Especially when I'm trying to run most days.  This is day two off.  Looks like it's 15k tomorrow.  If I don't make it back to the forums after tomorrow, it's not good news.

Just in case anyone was worried, I survived. Only 8k but considering my head is gonna explode I'd say it was a decent crack.
