    It was barbaric. Corporal punishment was a doddle, but this stuff seriously traumatised me.

    Everyone I've told about it reacts with a deep sense of shock and sadness. No, really, they do.

    yeah man, but the spell was broken for me when we went for a Sunday drive (what the hell were they about?) along Redoubt Rd and I found out Rick Martell and King Curtis were neighbours. that wasn’t right.

    Okay, okay ... work with me here. Two pro wrestlers buy neighbouring houses – and then the problems start.

    It's 'Neighbours at War' only with PRO WRESTLERS.

    not to mention On the Mat…

    Oh yes. We played out On the Mat just about every break for a few years. Never did me any harm!

    not to mention On the Mat….as for inter school- folk dancing though, bwaahahaha, you poor bastards.

    Inter-school folk-dancing did not form any part of my childhood.

    Fortunately.

    ‘abnormally puny roadie’ off to the side at the back.
    :-)

    That phrase was Chris’s description of me from his introduction to the Rock Strips comic

    Ian, we both know you only looked puny.

    Another urban image. At the door of the Ponsonby Countdown that opened today. Such a Ponsonby image, even unto the Hummer parked on a yellow line.

  • Speaker: If the fish stinks ..., in reply to Bart Janssen,

    MPI is full of good dedicated hard working folks who believe their job is worthwhile. I'm sure there will be the odd bad one in MPI but that's true of any organisation. To go after MPI when the problem is the government is just picking on the easy target.

    And yet, at Tim notes, senior MPI officials rushed to depict the report as non-factual and contradicted by the ministry's own data. We only know that wasn't true because (presumably) concerned people within the ministry leaked the ministry's own reports.
