I'm not that much of an arse! I just find it boring.
I just find it boring. Yup, you're an arse, OK, I got that the first time. Then again, I guess when you're an arse, it probably is a good idea to let everyone know, otherwise the default assumption of decent can easily be misapplied.

I'm ashamed to say I usually just get annoyed by gay-talk, but when it's witty it's a different matter
Yes, teh gays, they all speak the same. And if they're not Oscar Wilde, or the hilariously camp best friend on TV, they need to pipe down.

If the characters don't ring true that's a fault with the author's writing, not their ethno-gend-uality.
I was really astonished with how well Margaret Atwood seemed to write a male in Oryx and Crake when she does such powerful evocative female characters - so acutally I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised. Talent is talent.

Robyn that is interesting. Kind of like a "hey dick, shut up" comment moderation system.
I think that's a sign of a good community, when it doesn't always need a moderator to shut out someone who's not adding anything of value. I mean here on PA, there are always some lively debates, and I'd like to think that different opinions are often encouraged, but if anyone's being a straight-out douche, they do get told where to go.

I guess I could amend it to "Girls like bands for the Rock AND for the Coque

But my real favourites are the chaps at the St Paul's cafe, behind the State Services Commission and the Freyberg building.
They are indeed lovely lovely people behind the counter. It's a shame about the ordinary blandness of their food. But that's probably a good post for the Wellingtonista, not here.

Would Coach still be vacant?
Coach? COACH? We don't need no stinking patriarchacal system to bring us down. We'll play by committee, of course.

! A serious matter, and unless you can work it into a Liz Phair song we don't want any of that smut thank you very much.
You don't think 'Flower' speaks for itself?

types can all stand around drinking beer and poking burnt steak with a fork.
Now I don't want to come across as some kind of Carlos Spencer metrosexual or anything, but isn't the beer supposed to be martinis, and can we please use tongs to turn the steaks so we don't dribble out all the meat juice? And also, death to Hadyn's proposed boiled eggs.
