So Gord could make just about anything you could possibly imagine, but my favourite dish was called "The Priest Fainted" as in he fainted in ecstasy as it was so delicious. It's a small ball of puri dough, stuffed with a small amount of dahl (Gord had countless dahl recipes) and then, when deep fried, the puri puffs up and the dahl makes a delicious spicy filling. He'd serve these with homemade chutney and a yoghurt/coriander/mint dressing.
That sounds so good.

Oh, and by the way, Tamati Kruger's interview on Sunday tonight wasn't really helpful either ...

NZH should be ashamed of themselves for peddling such blatant distortions.
Quite.
Excellent post, 3410.
As it I understand, he's a very bright kid whose political opinions I don't really share. Depending on the evidence to be produced, I might feel more strongly about him down the line. But the way the Herald has framed it is something else.

And now Winston wades in, with reference to dangerous separatists ...
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has questioned the very existence of the Maori Party saying a party based solely on race is tantamount to apartheid.
It's going to be a long 12 months or so, isn't it?
Can't moan about the page impressions though ...

Russell "Labour Minority Government" is strictly correct & Labour have established FSSB as precidence for racial laws/action.
They're alleging that the police action is an actual plot on behalf of the Labour government to attack all Maori. That's either hysteria or cynical politicking.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms, the recent actions of the Labour Minority Government against the Tuhoe Nation and the Ruatoki community in particular and against tangata whenua in general.
Oh for fuck's sake ... does the Maori Party really believe this is a plot against all Maori on the part of the "Labour Minority Government", or is this just cynical political opportunism?
I'm not impressed by the police handling of this, but I'm sure as hell not impressed by that tract either.

P.S. I'm going to spam this message on loads of threads and if this irritates you, I do apologise.
Heh.

Keep thinking of this:
It might be nice to smash the state, but it's getting late
And mostly I'm just working for the man.
It might be good to tell the boss that I don't give a toss and to stick his lame-arse job
But I'm not sure that I can.The universe is mostly fine with me - it seems to me the only place to be.
Wake up from your beautiful haze
Rise up, smash your beautiful chains, climb out of your beautiful maze
Rise up, rise up.
Climb down from your beautiful tower, you know you won't make beautiful remains
All that's left is a beautiful hour
And its ours, oursI sit here listening in five point one
When the day is done, I look around at everything and it's all good
I nailed my edicts to the lunch room door - make love not war
They say just do it, I just did it, and it seemed I really couldI'm just a puny guy on a blue-green ball
Got no problem with that thought at allWake up from your beautiful haze
Rise up, smash your beautiful chains, climb out of your beautiful maze.
Rise up, rise up
Climb down from your beautiful tower, you know you won't make beautiful remains
All that's left is a beautiful hour
And its ours, ours ...Lyrics from Lyric Wiki, corrected by me. Mystifying video here:
As licensed now, ironically, by Monteith's. Which lets Sean feed the family and make beautiful music for another year.

I'd also like to add that art is more the product of opulence than poverty.
I'd debate that's always the case. Chaotic, falling-apart New York in the 1970s coughed up punk rock, hip hop and what we now know as dance music.
British popular culture often rises from the poorest streets, and Jamaica's poor came up with reggae, a music (like hip hop) that grew because the street got hold of technology.
Although my favourite reggae era, the rocksteady years of the late 1960s, was also influenced by a spirit of national and economic optimism. There's a song by Al and the Vibrators called 'Move Up' which contains the wonderfully unlikely lines:
We are independent now
With our bauxtite, tin and rum
Bananas, citrus, tourism too
Other industries, quite a few ...
