They don't build rockers like they used to, do they?

How's Geneva, Tze Ming? Finding it homogenous at all? Seen the druggies in the central parks yet? I lived in Vevey for a year - strange old people, the Swiss, I found. Anyway, to cute 3 year olds. I hate to disabuse you, but all 3 year olds are cute-ish, really they are. And as for her ethnicity, wasn't aware she was Chinese or even that she was anywhere but in NZ.

My favourite variance in pronunciation was Angela D'Audney who always, without fail, said day as dee - as in: Thursdee, Wed nes dee etc Lovely and never heard these days. Or should I say, dees?

thanks Joanna,that urban dictionary is a good find, and the Wellingtonista thread is a whole other thing.I'll keep up with that, since I'm very, very fond of Wellington, and it's been a very long time since I lived there. I was there for four days in July, and it was lovely to be. Reminded me of why I love it so much, notwithstanding my friend Sally who makes a mean herring salad (it's a Jewish thing). What a shame the Dixon St Deli doesn't do what it used to, so well. Mmm, the blintzes.......

BTW, what exactly is a snowjob when it's not a whitewash?
-
We thought that a snowball was a sex thing, and a snowjob was a PR thing (I won't make any comment on the connection between PR and sex). We learnt that both could be both.
They could? Jesus, I'm really behind the times. I'm off to a very civilised dinner tonight. I may need to throw those terms around, with a bit of a dirty cackle, and see if I can get a rise out of anyone.

Getting married in 8 days, and drunk? What a catch. Meanwhile, I'm not worried about flags being burned. Like Joanna, I think it says a great deal about our democracy, that freedom of speech/action means exactly that.

Have any of you caught That Guy's Rugby World Cup on TVNZ Demand? The World Cup for people who can't be faffed with any of the coverage. Fabulous.

I can't stand rugby, Robyn, but I do really enjoy Game of Two Halves, and I quite like a bit of Code on Maori TV.

Nice to know the stats, once and for all. And with the added bonus of the frisson of cyber flirting. Bonza.
