This story makes it seem like John Key has just learnt what Cholera is, and is going around saying "ohmigod, we send people to countries that have this disease!".
"What you're dealing with here is that if the NZC doesn't go to Zimbabwe then there is potentially a fine from the ICC. Well, if the ICC wants to fine New Zealand for not sending its players to a country where our players would be unsafe, they could contract a Third World disease, might not return, and support a regime we don't support, I am happy to have that discussion with the ICC myself."
Love the order. 1. Could be unsafe. 2. Could get third-world-itis. 3. Might not come back. 4. Oh and that political thing that we couldn't do when Rod Donald raised it a few years ago, but can do now.

Hmmm. My black gravatar ain't showing on Twitter.
To be honest, if the revolution only happens on Twitter, a bunch of us are going to be saying "Bugger off! I am so sick of your one-sided-don't-know-what-the-other-half-is-saying revolution!"

Perhaps you should have thought about that before you stabbed someone to death, ay Bruce? But I love that a newspaper that often reads like the Sensible Sentencing Trust newsletter has found a convicted killer they can get the hankies out for...
That article was particularly piss-me-off. What annoyed me the most was Emery and his lawyer's comments about how they thought Cameron's family was overdoing their grief.
Maybe there are scenario's where it's OK for people completely unconnected to make such a comment. Maybe. The killer saying "oh, you're putting that on, it's not that sad". Fuck off.
He also said that he was scared to go to jail and that there had been rumours that the Killer Bees might be after him. Maybe if you didn't demonstrate such fuckwit behaviour, you might get through your 9 months behind bars better. Duh.

Did anyone actually manage to watch all of that inept fumblethon that was the Hurricanes match?
Wait, rugby has started already?
No, pull the other one. Got bells on it.

Mantas are the biggest of the rays (also known as 'Devil Rays') and can grow over seven metres from wingtip to wingtip, although between three and five metres is more common (and still farking huge).
Holy crap.
No doubt their magic will be spoilt at some future stage by having some sort of Manta Rays terrorises beach resort thriller movie out of them. With horrendously unrealistic mouth sizes and stingers.

I put my honours dissertation online some years ago. Every year I get contacted by someone who was part of the events, or by the media wanting to use part of it or seek comment from me on some related story. It was a history of a local event in the 1990s though, so probably more relevant than some dissertations to the general public.

But Starship Troopers made rooting for the fascists so much fun! Love the adverts that they threw into the movie.

This really is a conversation that people need to end I think.
Given that Russell is away with his big stick, everyone could be adult about it and stop themselves.

It's somewhat disappointing to learn that they cut the Black Ferns programme, which costs about as much as the pay of one whole All Black. Not even a very good one.
Shows the priorities of the NZ Rugby Union these days: "Girls. Meh."

And then, of course, I would instantly become a copyright fascist and start putting Public Address readers in jail ...
We're with you 100% Russell.
Just, can you change my email address on your database? Here's a Russian-based one that I like to use...
