  • Southerly: In Praise of Arthur,

    Can't remeber his name but I always pissed him off when playing my "Stalin" (everyone must die) style of chess.
    He & my flatmates knew the various styles and I won far too often for them to keep their pretentions up.

    That's a real concern - thugs forcing their way into your flat.
    Either things have turned real nasty or he made it up.
    But why would he? The Polytech had only been going in term 3 for two weeks - no need for an agritat then.
    The National Front in Christchurch turn up in numbers not less than 10 (& rearly more than 10 either) in their printed black t-shirts.
    They're strongly anti-Asian a refocus from being anti-Maori. A focus of the National Front from about 1984 on. Prior to that Christchurch Skins had Maori members - serious.

    I knew a bloke who was bald at 13yrs - most evil wit I've ever met.

    Another who was bald before his 21st - all the chicks he tried to pick up thought he was a dirty old man (which oddly worked on occation).

  • Hard News: The meaning of a Banana,

    Now you're bringing in the false concept of 'Developed'.
    I dear say a few billion Chinese might beg the question of 'Developed' & the relating concept of 'Civilisation' with you on that one (except where being undeveloped gives China an economic advantage).

    How can any NZer, reliant on the export of primary produce as we are argue we are more developed than say Thailand or China, as you can get far more advanced techo stuff there than you can dream of here.

    Democracy is the disguise of hypocracy - Malcolm X.

    The concept of West isn't complicated - it's confused.

    The concept of the 'WEST' is as confused as my Grandmum wanting to go back 'HOME' to England (esp. that her heritage was Scot).

    All of Asia is either North or North West of us - making us at least South if not South East of them.

    'West" just shows a total bollocks of where NZ is but rather illuminating as to where many NZers see themselves.

    Joy of the failling folicals - No.1 (or no comb) once or twice a week done by me - free is a good price to pay.
    Downside I do have to avoid black T-shirts and my perscription black wrap around sunglasses being worn together.

    Alot of talk has rested on labels, Banana, Potato etc.
    What about an imigrants English name?
    Names of convience for this monocultured country to deal with.
    My mums family used Sweeny as a trading name during WWI for the local dairy farm. The other was too German - ahem Polish but who cares about the detail when it's the other.
    I always think it's a bit sad but if it works?

  • OnPoint: Meet your new overlords + media…,

    This site is begging to have a membership fee.
    $10 to peep & $20 to contribute doesn't seem too harsh & keep the ROAR policies in place.
    Alt. have a koha option.
    Pay-per-Blog.
    You must have thought about it?

  • Hard News: Evil,

    As good as that would be to watch (& it would be). RB taking the higher road is best.
    Ian is craving credibility & a nemisis - if you don't fight him he has neither - even better really.
