    But I doubt I'd ever get stopped anyway - pulling people over seldom seems to happen any more, unless you're really asking for it. The cops are either too busy or too lazy.

    Whereabouts are you? I've seen 4 pulled over (probably for speeding) in the last 2 days. Two on Wgtn motorway, 1 on Old Hutt Rd & one on SH1 near Tawa.

    We talk to a mother whose children no longer want to eat their school lunches after finding a gingernut with Rodney Hide's face on it.

    Heh. Nice. But can't they just keep the biscuits away from his face?

    Will there still be grown men in tutus? Never could figure that out...

    Dude. Have you had Watties tinned spaghetti? It is absolutely horrendous. I'm not being snobby here, either, because you can pry my Watties baked beans from my cold dead hands, but that spaghetti is like... amoebic slime or something. Shudder.

    heh - we're hosting an AFS student for a year, she's from Switzerland (speaks better English than most people I know too). SHe was warned about our food by an Italian AFS student she met who'd been hosted in sunny Invercargill.

    After a few weeks of meals deemed barely edible (I don't have details), her host family announced a special treat for their visitor - pasta!

    And that's how our Swiss exchange student came to NZ armed with fears of being served something called "Watties' Spaghetti".

    "anti caking agent" its real name is potassium ferrocyanide

    Farmer's Solution? It used to be used in developing black & white photographs. I think I also used it to cure a fungal condition that was bleaching my skin unnaturally (hey if it's good enough for Michael Jackson...).

    Smells like BO.

    Sorry, I've been out of the loop - how much money did they make from being on David Benson Pope?

    ("but not as much as this would") and sent me out into the waiting room to wait for them to take effect.

    Hah, been there (cataracts) you hang out with a bunch of others with watery eyes (and twice your age if it's cataract patient day) all peering in vain at the magazines & newspapers.

    Isn't she is the adult film actress who entered Italian politics?

    Don't make me get out the Italian stereotype bingo card, 'kay?

    Noted. I'll refrain from mentioning the Italian politician who entered... etc.
