When it comes down to it organised religion and in particular catholicism is really just a construct of social control. I never liked going to church because of all the little things that greedy people in postions of trust have done in the name of 'insert deity here' not to mention the horrors perpetrated upon 'non-believers' in the name of 'insert deity here' I have my own ways of being and they're just fine thank you.
How exactly is it that the man responsible for overseeing the payoff of abused parishoners and the spiriting away of pederasts to other locations where they continue their ways can rise to be the head of that church hmmm? We're supposed to respect this person as the font of wisdom of a 'loving' god? -
please to be obliging, substitute their for they're, in lieu of edit feature.

So in clarification, Deborah Coddington and the English cricket team should be sponsored by Kirby vaccuum cleaners because their both overrated, overvalued, but in reality they just suck.

I'm pretty sure it is, because it's something that has been happening for years and well before macdeath opened up there. It's a kind of dirty exhaust smell as you come down the hill, it was raining this morning so had the window up. I'd like to think my home town doesn't stink, but unfortunately experience tells me otherwise.
Maybe it's just South Auckland, Coddington could write her next piece of shite about that perhaps. The most startling thing about that article was that the editors of norf and sarf defended her so vigourously, they claim to be the thinking persons read, perhaps that needs a rethink. -
I've taken an interesting tack on the whole DC is a F*&%tard thing cos I haven't read the article yet but will do so tonight, but read the letters page(s) in the subsequent issue (you go hard Keith) and am thinking could it really be that abhorrent. Soon see I guess. Today was mum's birthday, she got lots of book vouchers and a telescope. We spent the most part of this evening setting it up and checking out the moon. I'm in Whakamarama just out of Tauranga and there is almost no ambient light to speak of, so it's great for stargazing. Spent ages looking for landing sites with help from nasa coordinates and not a sausage. Although I doubt I'd see much anyway.
Back to Dorkland tomorrow for recording and such (sigh). Tell me if this is a common phenomenon but I can smell Auckland from the top of the Bombays, does anyone else experience this also? It just reeks. -

Before we get in to the inevitable 'Auckland is draining the country's economy so lets sort those jafas out once and for all by turning off the power cable north' thing, Figures released by the Department of Statistics state that the Auckland region (pop 1,000,000appx) produces 36% of the nations GDP, that with only 25% of the nations population. So we're ahead of the game and have no need to rip anything from your grasp now do we? Where's your righteous indignation now, hunting other such hoary old chestnuts I'd suggest. I stiil don't get how people are ripping it from you, are you implying that beauracracy is to blame? Surprise! That would be Wellington then.

Nah must be a typo, some of the information in the piece is correct, couldn't be.

Here's a post apocalyptic Christmas ditty for you then...
Twas the day after christmas night,
when whanau got drunk and started to fight,
inebriated arguements for the left and the right,
no wrist strap you see, we were in a wii plight.stomachs were pained by turkey and ham,
inboxes straining under weight of spam,
aha! the old come round for a barbie scam,
excuse me but you can't take that on the plane ma'am.so much to eat its now time to feel guilty
flowers pinch'd from nextdoors garden wilty (heh)
so much high end champagne had been spilt he
decided to decant the carpet, ( it's filthy )elmo or emo I just can't decide
in between ignorance or patricide
Santa had said 'if you're good' but he lied
my mind is still narrow, but my arse has grown wide.Its a time of year when many have plenty
and a time to recall the blessings he sent thee
I mean he could be a her (it is the 21st century)
I think thats kind of trained into me mentallythe cricket is on and its not even raining
summer is waxing, cold weather is waning
the mighty All Blacks are back into training
so get over your emo, stop bloody complaining.
