Not a good look
A partially sighted Christchurch man with Parkinson's disease was forced to struggle down the street to his car after Prime Minister Helen Clark's security commandeered parking spaces.

One for movie night.
Red Elephant - Thai resturant behind Dennys in Christchurch off Moorhouse Ave.Great food - most around $17 bucks - but the Thick Red Curry on top of (whole) Fish was $21.
Really pleasant service but the real winner was LIVE MUSIC, solo singer and guitar, request taken but just really nice and beats a CD hands down. -
"Paying crowds have a right to see a decent amount of cricket played, "
Echoes of W G Grace "They came to see me bat, not to see you umpire".

Chardonnay is so passe.
Pinot noir is the new red, as in the song.
The people's wine is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our drunken dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' bloods best at 5yrs old.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within each glass we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red wine flowing here.Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise,
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung
Chicago swells the surging throng.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within each glass we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red wine flowing here.It waved above our infant might,
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We must not change its colour now.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within each glass we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red wine flowing here.It well recalls the triumphs past,
It gives the hope of peace at last;
The label bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within each glass we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red wine flowing here.With Suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before this rich man's town,
And haul the sacred emblem down.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within each glass we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red wine flowing here.With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our party hymn.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within each glass we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red wine flowing here. -
"So Chicago school style free trade has gotten a thumbs up from the posters on NZ's preeminent leftie blog!! "
Just goes to prove how 'Right' yous are ;)

Whoops that read a bit random - tried to tie Egypt with NZ.
Craig - I think it far better to side step that particular arguement and go for 'Shoah', from hebrew meaning catastrophe and be specific in meaning. Holocaust is an English word from the 14thC.It's particularly unfair on rob the memory of Poles & Roma etc and naming Holocaust only in relation to Jews, and so it should be free to be used (rightly or wrongly) by other peoples.
No-one bats an eye at using 'Dispora' (a hebrew word with a specific biblical/historical meaning), for other nations (forced) migrations.

An Egyptian/American workmate of mine completed her MA on how war grows NZs connection to the world.
My cousin was in Somalia with the Army now we have a Somali community that we didn't have before.
This is my fave battle of WWI, there's a bit more to it. British Red Caps keeping the boys with VD out, increasing prices, & (human) water in the wine.
"His letter includes a detailed account of the events leading up to three days of riots in the 'Wozzer' district of Cairo, during which an estimated 5,000 Australian and New Zealand troops looted and ransacked shops and brothels."

Craig - "that politicians who are quite happy to bullshit about violent holocausts "
I always get the impression Tariana is speaking specifically of the experiences in Taranaki & Whanganui.

Has anyone mentioned happier hookers yet?
oh - I don't know - they have to pay tax now ....
The IRD never miss a trick, so to speak. They set up ways of collecting income tax before it was decrimalised.

When I worked on the door of a bar, drunk women were very hard to deal with. After kicking one drunk woman out, she said we had to let her in or she'ld get raped leaving by herself. We offered to call a cab or whomever but she eventually left when the cops turned up. She came back 15-20mins later saying she'ld been raped, with an indignant attitude that said (& she might have even said it) "It's your fault - so there!" Then wanted to come in to talk to her friends & of course needed a drink.
This was clearly a total bullshit story.
She got the brush off from the cops.
