I am a long time patron of New Zealand's most dangerous sport. I've had the odd brusie/concussion etc, but my worst injury was couple of months ago - playing social friggen netball. Being a bit enthusiastic with the defence I jumped, landed, and you know that sound effect on the cereal ads where the stupid jock is destroying a mouthful of nutrigrain... well my knee kinda made that noise. I made a slightly more offensive noise. Or series of noises. After trying to stand up and establishing that my knee was, as the doctor later said, 'rogered' 2 of my team-mates figured that the best way to get me back to the office was to carry me, each taking one arm/leg (a shoulder ride was mooted, but we decided that would just look silly). Made interesting viewing for others walking down Lambton Quay at lunchtime.

Looks like you'll have to cut n paste, I'm computer illiterate. Also, I tell a lie about which post I was reading - it was the one about the mother who had recently lost her partner (I think from memory) who drove drunk with her 2yo and was stopped by the truckie who she later thanked on tv....

Saw the horse whip mum story on stuff this morning, and through some happy coincidence was trawling through kiwiblog archives and red the post & comments section following her original trial - sickening. Thank god the kid had a witness this time. What depresses me is that the best chance this case has of helping Bradford's bill is if the mother and husband are aquitted.
