he man with the appropriate spanner won't be able to get to it till Monday
Could you also ask the mechanic to put in a favicon for PA? The bookmark looks so bland without one.

Which, clearly, is going on; witness the talkback nonsense LegBreak heard. But far be it from me to question the general high-mindedness and non-racism of New Zealand society.
I think there are two things here. An eyewitness said that she saw an asian woman with a child. Police would like to speak with this woman. As far as I'm concerned these are not very controversial facts and there are no memes floating around.
What this turns into in media and talkback-land is a different story. And one that definitely falls into the meme of asians/jews/gypsies/blacks stealing white folk's kids.
But surely we can't blame the initial facts or story for the moronic reaction that follows.

Exactly. It's like - why were they sure she was Asian? Why were they sure it was Aisling? How reliable were the witnesses? It was all so vague.
I guess not that reliable in hindsight, but I don't buy into the idea that it was part of some racially motivated slur either. Someone saw an Asian woman with a child. Doesn''t seem all that unlikely to me. Of course, they turned out to have nothing to do with the missing girl.
Sometimes an "Asian lady" is just an Asian lady.

... and if so, was the information useful.
No.

Beware: some very tedious trolling in the comments.
I actually found it pretty entertaining. The troll (spam) really got it handed to him in a rather restrained way by the host. Then he totally lost it.
Classic textbook example!

Germans on the other hand, the more we mock their so called Nazi superman culture the better
It is worth noting that the Germans still have not apologised for what they did...
Either deliberate trolling, wilful ignorance or ... Well, I don't really know.

However, a surprisingly large number of women play WoW.
Or at least by men who like to play as female characters.

30 minutes, surely ?
nope. May be more bit more than 30 seconds, but only a couple of minutes if you only count walking down Dacre St from Upper Queen.

Why bother with all these smaller "super cities". Judge Dredd already has all of New Zealand labelled New Pacific City. Works for me.
