No problems for Newsbear Rupert, as in the past he'll just renounce his citizenship (American at the moment I think) and move to Fiji, though I guess Wendy would object to him marrying a local... but I'm sure he'll be pushing his Chinese connections to pressure the Fiji powers-that-be who seem to be getting a lot of help from China lately...

I think we should force him to dress up
in a panda costumeand that'll pander to the errant sportsman stereotype, a little wham bam (thank you ma'am),
a little "boo", then eats roots and leaves
(or was that kiwis in general...?) -
"I don't think what you should be doing in life as a young woman is putting yourself at risk which is what they were doing."
(from Stuff article)
gosh, will Mr Haden elaborate on his experience
as a young woman...
and he seems to have a confused memory
of the "Hugh Grant affair"...I thought Ost-racism was what Kevin Rudd apologised to the Aborigines for...
but seriously, I hear Coventry is nice this
time of year, let's send Haden there...
what a prize pillock! -
just the facts, ma'am...
I'm wondering what the RWC company (is there such a thing?, ie not the Govt interventionists) is bringing to the "party"?
• are they having a separate information centre for visitors or is their presence limited to the stadiums only ?
• is this "party central" venue purely a game time only affair? or is it doubling as an all day and night display and info site as well? -
Cecelia, I love that Brain poem! inspirational stuff...
and Chris your soaring 3rd stanza should be
in all future iterations of it...
I'm gonna push Phantom to see if they
can get the rights to reproduce the poem
(maybe as a mash up with Chris' addition
and permission) to be put up around NZ and other places
(pix - and blog - of kiwi & US poets on poles in Pennsylvania and other global spotshere )
and ta to Chris and Jolisa for kind comments re my humble attempts over on the "PC head hurt" thread -
White light to wide eyed light...
Fscking rainbows, how do they work?

Bifrost spans Asgard to Midgard infradigbut mostly they are magic

Piers d'resistance, come on Auckland...
..it beggars belief they can make such a dog's breakfast of this whole thang...
not so much Alms for Children
more Hunters and collectors...
so Skin your shed and let's get started... -
moors the spitty...
Oh, you said huge anchors!
it'll be a fluke if McCully can get anything solidly bedded before 2011...
Life gnaws anchors away...
what with the new knife laws, shanks and other barbs will be illegal by then anyway...I think I'll heave, too...

Not the fool squid...
I say give Paul the Octopus a hammer or eight and let him fix the shed.
hmmm Auckland - eight arms to hold you (a party) - we should move the goon squad at full force and hip hop over to Princess Wharf surely!
eh Simon G?
:- ) -
Parity Central...
all things being even and fair...
I personally think any council run public RWC areas should be family friendly and alcohol free... leaving a "level playing field" for the rate and licence paying hospitality industry...
otherwise it sends a mixed message to the public about the seemingly parasitic attachment of alcohol consumption to sports events...won't anyone think of the kids!
and stop pandering to the booze barons!I note the Chch RWC space in the square is proposing to have booze areas - Bad idea from a council that is (allegedly) trying to deal with the problems of inner city drinking as it is...
- weird stuff, and these are the decisions of adults!!It would just be so impressive to see one of them make a family-friendly space, those who want alcohol will make other arrangements...
and doesn't McCully come across as a petulant brat? The Govt should never have poked its nose into the Auckland affair any way, they are not event organisers, there are more important things for them to be getting on with you'd think...
