    RE: Americans

    There was a streaker at the same Superbowl where we all saw too much of Janet Jackson. He got nailed by a very large linebacker in full pads. Great to see.

    But the Americans have the same streaking problem as everywhere else. They just don't televise it. Just like they don't here.

    The streaker bill is mainly to stop those internet casino companies from sending people covered in ads onto the pitch.

    How do you get to have such interesting meetings?

    I still get blank stares when I say the word "wiki".

    Mass bikini streak?

    I thought streakers were supposed to be naked?

    Fantastic! Nothing wrong with Singstar at all! (if balanced with books as you say)
    Many Happy Returns Mary-Margaret!

    Oh dear. There goes the last magical Christmas.

    But you must be over the moon that your daughter has a smart questioning mind. That's the best thing to have.

    I also once argued with a teacher about whether the number of stars was finite or infinite (I was of the latter opinion).

    My partner once had an arguement with her Primary School teacher who used "the number of grains of sand on the beach" as an example of infinite. My partner kept saying "it's not infinite, it's just a big number!". She's got a 1st Class honours degree in maths now.

    Are you some sort of commie? Don't you know that there's a clear bright line between "good" smacking and "bad" smacking, and that parents who practice "good" smacking never, ever lose the plot and veer into "bad" smacking? Why, they're practically different species.

    Duncan Garner on TV3 just called John Key's light smacking amendment, "good", "smart" and "commonsense".

    Footpegs let you do "tricks". They were pegs that stuck out from the axel of the rear and (but not always) front wheels.

    3140: I had the red with silver Panther. I was always envious of my friend though. His was blue and silver and...waitforit...foot pegs! That, was sweet!

    Though mine did have a vinyl thing that domed up over the joint where the handlebars meet the frame. It had a very cool Panther logo on it.

    And I had Nomads too. Only got Docs later in college. Funnily enough I bought some dress black shoes a year or so back. They had square toes and a seam ridge around the top, took them home where the GF said "why'd you buy Nomads?"

    Che: can I replace the magnifying glass with some kind of devining rod? Then who needs a map?!

  • Island Life: One sleep to go,

    I remember getting my first bike. A red "Panther" BMX (it was the 80s). As my grandparent's house was small there was no place to hide it, so my parents said that my Popa was "hiding it for a family across the road". I remember staring at the bike thinking "that kid is SO lucky".

    When they actually gave it to me I didn't believe them. Took me about a year to be sure it was actually mine.
