Only too happy to help Islander.
It works both ways - you and all the others here help me understand things I just didn't get previously so I'm only too happy to return the (much appreciated) favour.
Re the jigsaw:
5/2 does not equal 8/3 -
can have discussions with differences of opinion in a sane manner
Hey I think he called us sane!

Thanks Russell that was great.
I just love the disconnect between the bright cheerful music and voice and the really quite intense emotion and content underneath.
To then use it to highlight the evil bastards that spend their time spreading hate against TBGLs or GTBLs or LGTBs or whatever that is ... while Stevie may not have done the best version, the idea of adapting the song was brilliant.
I can't wait to see what creative kiwis do with this.

Catholic friends (more accurately: friends who were raised Catholic) all have that 'don't ask, don't tell' thing going on with regard to stuff they know they're not meant to be doing.

Vitamin tablets = expensive urine
However I find the fluorescent yellow entertaining especially when hung over.
You could just eat fruit and veges but you'd miss out on the opportunity to support our local economy, in particular help pay for your pharmacists new car which they bought from a struggling car dealer so it's got to be the right thing to do.
And besides fruit and veges just don't make your urine glow quite the same way as those pills do.
