    SOG also has synthetic urine in an easy pour-n-go container... Its listed under "drug testing"... probably a mistake? I'm sure its for fertilizing lemon trees, no?

  • Legal Beagle: Bad Law,

    That's not how Keith Locke wanted to do it. The (New Zealand) Crown's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi wouldn't transfer to the Government of the Republic of New Zealand, or to the Head of State, they'd stay with the Crown, exactly as they are now:

    That's not a flaw.... it's a genius solution.

    Hey, Mrs Queen... we're taking over, we're gonna run ourselves now, thanks.... Oh, except for this huge problem bit... you can keep that responsibility, cheers, and good luck sorting it out.

    :)

    I have Sky - because that's the only way I can get Maori TV on my part of the Coast.

    I'd be surprised if you could not also get it using the same dish on your roof plugged into a satellite freeview decoder...

    Only ~10 channels instead of ~50, but no monthly fee. :)

    See, I thought "inbuilt freeview" meant you didnt need a set-top box.

    I dont think I can record (in HD) from my set-top freeview box can I? (which is implied by answering yes to the earlier question)

  • Hard News: Media freedom in the Pacific,

    Any chance of your show being re-broadcast on a station that actually gets received in Fiji ? (I'm assuming Freeview 7 doesnt get there).

    Or would that be too provocative?

  • Cracker: Hot Cross Words,

    How about if we just make alcohol and BBQ supplies (it is, after all, the last Friday before daylight savings ends) an 'essential item' under the Act?

    Surely thats redundant... alcohol IS a BBQ supply, no?

    Clarification request...

    it's not necessary to ride on Tamaki Drive at all on the way into the CBD

    It's not necessary to ride on the road because the marked cycle-path is on the footpath? or... you took an entirely different route ?

  • Up Front: You Never Forget Your First,

    Here's all the starting sequences through the ages (except for the latest)

    I'm pretty sure it was the first of the two pertwee sequences I remember being scared of (age around 5 or 7 ?)

  • Up Front: You Never Forget Your First,

    Hmm... it seems I'm not alone in having Pertwee as technically my first, while Tom Baker was the one that really got me into the program and I still think of as formative of what Dr Who should be like...

    I also remember a year or two before I was hooked, but my older brother was watching... being scared of the show, and in particular the opening music and weird psychedelic patterns during the titles and credits, more than the story-lines or characters themselves. (but Darleks were pretty creepy)

    Never liked Davidson as Dr Who (he was and always would be Tristan Farnon from All Creatures Great And Small) and stopped watching before he was replaced... but did like the come-back with Eccleston being great, and Tennant even better...


    A friend of mine who's ten years my senior still thinks the first (William Hartnell) was the best, and it was scarier in black and white than colour.

    I cant say what I think of the new guy because I missed it... I'll rectify that soon.. torrent to the rescue :)
