    6. Inline hockey.

    Doesn't that use a hockey ball?

    No that's roller hockey, which is played on quads. Inline hockey is played on inline skates, with a puck.

    See, for example, this puck.

    Also known as the netball competition where the Bay of Plenty Magic come to your town and fuck over your team.

    Hadyn, your blog just suddenly got picked up on a lot more google searches for porn I'm guessing.

    Actually I don't know about 5. It says goals, but it wouldn't make much sense to have a net underwater.

  • Hard News: The Cullen investment,

    seeing as the council has just restricted elligibility to insulation subsidies.

    Oh that's double classy then.

    Rodney Hide really needs to get in and sort these councils out *cough*

    Related to the recycling theme, 'Spy' plane to identify Christchurch energy wasters says Granny.

    I found using a plane to spot energy wasters kinda silly.

    Surely a balloon with the camera attached to the bottom would do the trick? And use about 100th of the energy?

  • Field Theory: Saturday at the Cricket,

    __I wouldn't say Vettori isn't a spin bowler. He just doesn't spin it much any more.__

    Um he can't spin the ball but he is still a spin bowler????

    Did the insertion of the word 'much' confuse you there?

  • Field Theory: Saturday at the Cricket,

    I wouldn't say Vettori isn't a spin bowler. He just doesn't spin it much any more. Certainly a much better one day bowler than test bowler.

    I understand his test batting average over the last 4 - 5 years is almost 40, so on that basis he'd make it into our side as a batsman, let alone all rounder.

    On the contrary, I'm in total agreement.

    Except Foucault wasn't a post-structuralist.

    Well I can't claim to be a Foucault expert at all. He's certainly been called that, but I note that wikipedia says he rejected both that label and postmodernist (which makes we wonder if he just didn't want to be labeled at all).

    But OK. My point that there's umpteen TV shows on various postmodern topics on TV, post-structuralism would be more difficult to cover.

    Though if we're talking about post-modernism in the media then there is a bit of analysis on TV about that. The Daily Show does it fairly often.
