  • Hard News: Just Friday,

    Quite. It's amazing how many people actually are killed by ingesting paracetamol every year.

    It damages the liver & kidneys. The notion of a panadol overdose i thought was just silly, but taken in large quantities it can certainly have that effect.

    Also, in this picture, does Patten remind anyone else of Deborah Coddington? Or do I just need a whole bunch of therapy?

    A cunning disguise for the pony perhaps?

    A pity there's not some kind of, y'know, compulsory national sex education program...

    My 13yr old son and similarly aged nephew were privy to part of a sex ed class at their Nan's work. Conversation on the way home in the car went something like this....

    Son: Mum, do you know what chlamydia is?
    Nephew: and gon-gon-gondola-gon-gon
    Me: Gonorrhea?
    Nephew: yeh that’s the one Aunty
    Me: They’re STD’s
    Both Boys: you mean STI’s Sexually Transmitted Infections
    Me: Quite right
    Son: So how do you NOT get them?
    Me: You practice safe sex and you use condoms etc etc
    Son: …you wear a condom all the time?
    Me: Yes all the time...
    Son: So how do you make babies then???

    …smart arse!

    There are so many jokes so deeply inherent in just the name that it's almost too easy

    Emma, I commend you on your diplomacy and restraint - certainly couldn't have done the same myself - far far far too easy.

    I wonder though, had it been the other way round 'the NZ Sex Party' whether our Aussie counterparts would have been as tactful?

    ...but there's no policy on their website

    Certainly nothing even remotely sexy about this website, looks more like DHL or Express Couriers - pony anyone?

  • Up Front: Walking Through the Ruins,

    That was the worst part, I had! But because I was living alone it took me a long time to unpack everything.

    I feel your pain! Note to self: invite friends to 'Unpacking Party' under the guise of 'House Warming'

  • Up Front: Walking Through the Ruins,

    The worst were from a well-known company and they broke all of the glassware I got for my 21st

    I suspect they knew you hadn't purchased insurance from this reputable moving company! Apparently its top of the list of things they look at on the moving order, an indication of how cavalier they can/cannot be with the job.

    What I don't recommend is moving house at 36 weeks pregnant

    Did that once, only good part was i didn't have to lift anything heavy. Downside, the (now) ex-partners 6 mates that turned up to help were only interested in the free beer afterwards. It was all over rover after they put it all will-nilly in the house.

  • Up Front: Walking Through the Ruins,

    Wait until the movers lose your furniture, the sixteen piece dinner set becomes four hundred pieces...

    Never use professional movers unless you're heavily insured - they do not care about your shit, especially if your abode has bad access and your house is full of belongings the size of a baby grand! If you've heard stories of movers going through your underwear, emptying out your pantry and cooking a feed, its all true - confirmed by ex-professional-mover-sisters-boyfriends-cousin.
