    Kyle we have everything through the TV and I never ask if it's Sky or Freeview or poor people's

    You mock me and my pain!

    Though I think I accidentally kinda promised my son that we might get sky again for the Winter Olympics next year. He seems to have taken the idea to heart.

    So buddhism is pro-prostitution, but anti-pimping?

    It really is a strange world.

    (and my 10-year-old son will tell you that i have an aesthetic grudge against the AK one: "dad, is that really the world's tallest unpainted concrete sewer pipe? you're just making that up, aren't you?)

    I'm no expert, but I always assumed that all sewer pipes were unpainted.

    Actually pre-school cert.

    You were sorted into an academic or blue collar school at about age 10-11. Completely different curriculums.

    "God's law is above any human law. So when a human law ... is contrary to God's law, this human law has no value," Cardoso said.

    I wish god would submit his laws to select committee hearings. I have some issues with a couple of them.

    There might be some interesting rationalisations coming our way by the time the next instalment of Harry Potter is shared the p2p way.

    That's actually how I read HP7 - or at least, I found a pdf of what looked like an unproofed version of the book.

    I did it because all the damn stores sold out, so I had to wait another 3 or 4 days before I was able to buy an actual copy, and that wasn't working for me.

    Comedy Central channel arrives April :)

    Wait? Where? Sky or on poor people's tv?

    I got Season 1 of BSG for... $30 I think, at the Warehouse.

    Haven't started watching it yet, forgot there was a miniseries first. (dammit)

  • Hard News: Mac Ouch,

    I went to a party dressed as Margaret Thatcher.

    I think Craig and I walk in different worlds!

    Though one my friends once had a great party along the theme of "a hand up not a hand out" where people dressed up as right-wing figures. Possibly more mocking went on at my party than at Craig's.

  • Field Theory: Not Watered Down,

    In thatHumvee? Dance on your knees? No, not dance.

    I made the assumption that the place to dance was on someone else's lap.

    All roads lead to the All Blacks and winning the World Cup. There is no other culture in NZ.
