  • Up Front: Newsflash: Women Have Eyes,

    My apologies for even the merest suggestion that Megan is anything other than ravishing.

    <blush>
    I go away for four hours, and look what bloody happens.

  • Up Front: Newsflash: Women Have Eyes,

    I put that in for Megan, but I'm sure she'll share.

    Oi! I bloody will not! Hands off...

    Oh, alright, go on then.

    Ah, Richard. But surely he's a bit too beefcakey for Filament? (Shame that what I watched of the S14 final it looked like he didn't have a very good game)

    They look the the sort of guy who would be quite nice to have as a boyfriend.

    And therein lies the difference?

    That weird artificial airbrushed to shit perfection is alienating rather than attractive.

    Word. I was at the gym with a friend the other day, and we were discussing the music videos that were all over the screens, and wondering whether they were meant to be encouraging.

    Both of us agreed they aren't, because I look at those women, and think 'well, it doesn't matter how hard I work, and how little I eat, I am never going to look like that. Because my genes are different, and I don't have a skilled photo-shopper following me around all day.' Of course, it would appear we can't win.

  • Up Front: Are We There Yet?,

    Lindsay's relationship with Sam has made me seriously reconsider my own sexual orientation.

    It certainly sets the bar for a healthy, adult, enjoyable relationship.

  • Hard News: Two very different topics,

    My partner appears to have ad-blocking software installed in his head, but the other night I made him switch it off and watch that ad for Auckland. Then I said, "What was that an ad for?" His reply? "Wellington."

    Watching it last night, I said to my flatmate "stylistically, that looks just like the Wellington ads." She said "Except with celebrities."

    And therein lies the difference.

  • Up Front: Are We There Yet?,

    Here's what I don't understand. A quote from a while back:

    The Church does have qualms because it would like their definition of marriage to be the norm. Basically it feels that that is best for the family.

    And I would really like my newly founded religion of shoes (sorry Emma, you can't join), red lipstick and chocolate to be the norm. It's unlikely that's ever going to happen.

    Surely marriage is a private thing, between two consenting people (or more, I am undecided on that). How you want to define it, protect it, and enjoy it is up to you. Making sure no one is discriminated against from enjoying what everyone else in society is able to, is the state's job surely?

    'playing the more attractive rugby'

    Without Kahui, the Chiefs are going to struggle.

    I generally just say to people: "I don't interfere in your relationship, what gives you the right to interfere in mine?"

  • Field Theory: Beatniks,

    Once, someone told me they were 'slightly disappointed' that I liked sport (I assume because they thought I rocked in other ways). To which I thought 'bite me'. But didn't say it, because I was being tactful.

    I often get people saying "Really? You like sport?" Because presumably if you have a brain, wear high heels and don't look remotely like Maria Sharapova, you couldn't possibly be interested in sport.

    That's when I like to bust out the knowledge. (Or I would, if I had any.)

  • Field Theory: Beatniks,

    I’m worried I might have to last a bit longer than that this week...

    Dude, you should always try to last longer than the first minute. Especially when the Crusaders are involved.

    (Sorry, Emma's influence is clearly rubbing off on me.)

  • Up Front: I Have Been and Always Shall…,

    Megan, join us. Jooooooin usssss...

    You see this is how it starts. At first it's all these awesome brainy, funny, talented women (and then all the boys as well, those Trekkies are hott ), and next thing you know I'm dancing in a field at midnight covered in cows' blood worshipping Spock.

    Or so I imagine.

    I am pretty confident that's a job you could out-source.

    Yes, but imagine sifting through all the applications. There'd be sooo many.
