Ha ha, i'm clearly behind the times. Still, join our movement?

I think keeping it as Wanganui is better in that the original Iwi pronounced it W'anganui, and outsiders pronounced it Whanganui. The way things are with river being spelt with the 'h' seems truer to the original thing.
But if that variety isn't enough for you Sacha, perhaps you could get behind me and my buddy Tom's movement to revert Timaru to 'Te Tihi-o-Maru'.

They're not supposed to poll the preference of the populace or empowered to do anything other than advise the government on this matter.
o ture bro? thanks for mentioning that, I haven't been following to closely, I just noticed a lot of 'h's started appearing in all the wrong places and I don't even particularly like 'h' nor do i like Mr Laws, but I like some people from Wanganui so I thought i'd weigh in.
increasingly young and brown face, and of the sheer variety of faces and voices (and possibilities).
How can we support the scared without disowning our future?
I think we could offer more than an 'h' to the 'brown faces'.

regardless of however much character assassination quenches the nation's thirst.

I enjoyed reading this, I like where you're coming from Giovanni.
Laws must be the least self-aware person I've ever come across. Apart from calling putting the 'h' in Wanganui "racist"
yeah. If he still had his debating head screwed on he'd avoid the race card and play up the antidemocratic angle.
Seems to me this whole kerfuffle is just another case of a small country grabbing attention by getting every whucking cartographer on the planet to revise and reissue.

Nothing personal, but isn't that the same sort of one-way sense-of-entitlement thinking that is annoying some people?
I can't figure out if this thread is aout the undie 500 riots or its a red convention to discuss the ills of the capitalist system.
I was intentionally being provocative. But I have met people like that and they annoy me. A lot.
Ra Ra Ra Rasputin ; )
