Muse: Hooray for Wellywood (Really!), in reply to BenWilson,
No, it was "Paris, boasting the biggest penis in the world for 40 years". Which is cheezy, but still awesome, IMHO.
Whereas Auckland has gone for "Auckland, boasting the biggest hypodermic syringe in the world." Or maybe that's just how I see it.

Yeah there always have to be limits to property rights. For example even if I owned the house I lived in this wouldn't give me the right to cover the external walls with pornography.

This took an interesting turn in the last US presidential elections when some Democrat supports wrote scripts to repeatedly click on the McCain on-line ads with the aim of draining money from his campaign.
That type of gaming of the system doesn't really sit right with me but am happy blocking ads on web pages as I see this as no different to using a DVR to avoid watching ads, or fast-forwarding through ads on old-fashioned VHS.

Yep - now it works. For some reason the ad-blocking killed the reply functionality.

Mail client works fine. If I open in new tab it just takes me to top of page. It used to work so I must have broken it with my ad-blocking. I think I will make this site the one exception where I let ads run. Provided there is no flash of course:)

Just had a play with that - that's very cool:) For some reason though the Reply isn't working on the bottom right of your post. Do you find that too? Maybe its my fault for blocking ads too aggressively.
-
Done. Yeah that works much better. Thanks.

So long as the other major party in Parliament fails to come up with coherent and recognisably different policies from National’s, it makes perfect sense for people to choose the leader who projects a more competent image
Yes. That's why when they say this I just keep quiet.

I find web browsing an unannoying activity when using Chrome so guess I will stick with that, which is a pity because Opera is fast. Ads just really bug me if I have to block them individually it becomes too much of a pain when I have become used to having them blocked for me.

I discovered that but then you have to do it on every single webpage which is a real pain. I prefer something you can install and it will block the ads on every page without thinking about it.
