Do you think they might scrap the current format? It hasn't exactly caught the imagination down here.
How about a 3-day tournament between the top four ICC ranked teams? 7 games in just over a fortnight including rest days, every one a potential contest.

Personally, I think keeping a dog as a weapon is both antisocial *and* cruel to the animal.
Maybe all agressive breeds should be neutered and we can just have nice fluffy dogs like Newfies and St. Bernards
(I wish more sites allowed photos in comments. Make them look more interesting)

Metro wasn't lightweight in the '80s
I stand corrected (didn't live here then)!
I had the impression that the pictures of people at parties and features on "trips you can do into the wild, wild country beyond Ponsonby" were the core of the mag.

Russell - I wish you would edit Metro! Especially if they get an editor that turns into a clone of the Listener..
I find it ironic that a traditionally lightweight lifestyle mag (Metro) now has more interesting, thought-provoking comment in it that an allegedly serious news magazine (the Listener).

Out of interest, has anyone *ever* been physically attacked or even approached by anyone in NZ as a result of Internet discussion?
I've never heard of a case. The nearest would be the NF with their blacklists, but I don't think even they actually take it to physical confrontation with the people they *target*.
If I'm right, it's reasonable to assume that anyone who threatens you is no more likely to take on physical form than the characters in a video game. So treat the nasty people as a string of bits, delete their outpourings and move on. (Report them to the cops if you want, it'll give them harmless indoor activity pouring over lists of IP addresses).

Anyway, won't ticket scalpers just use offshore websites?
-
Alex: so event promoters can sue the scalper. Or put measures in as Glastonbury has done. Or auction tickets themselves.
Why do they need a new crime created to help them?

Also, Ayn Rand was Asian. Rubbish you say!
100% true: she was Russian-born, and Russia is largely in Asia.

nzrave.com is about 50:50 male/female.
rec.equestrian was 90% female, I guess it's modern equivalent must be the same, but since I moved to NZ I can't afford ponies...
Oh you wanted *political* blogs? Well doesn't the fact that 90% of what 14-year old libertarians post on the foamier blogs is a direct cut and paste from Ayn Rand books level the gender ratio up a bit?

what would you use for that in the UK? Would you have to take your passport?
They have picture driving licenses nowadays.
I guess the problem with glasto is that it's just got too popular. There's nowhere big enough for a million people.
