  • Hard News: So far from trivial,

    Back on (a) topic, now that it seems he threw her down some stairs, went down the bottom, kicked the hell out of her and then left her there for 6 hours unconscious I feel much better. I thought he'd done something really bad, but it was clearly just a spur of the moment thing where he made a bad decision for 21,600 seconds.

    Isn't it human instinct to find a mate based on a level of physical attraction?

    I don't argue that for some people it's more important than others but even for people at the lower end of the scale there is still surely some consideration of the other persons appearance.

    Even relatively primitive cultures (ie. the one found in the Amazon recently) 'decorated' males and females differently. I don't think they get the entertainment channel on SKY.

    And I go to stuff.co.nz and find an example immediately without even looking for one.

    What exactly is Ana Ivanovic (world womens tennis number 1) trying to trade on here? I don't see a tennis racket anywhere. She's given the green light for people to discuss her physical appearance as she is attempting to boost her profile, and bank account along with it.

    Jill, Lisa Lewis is a female model.

    She WANTS people to look at her, judge her appearance and then make some money out of it. THAT is how she is trying to make a buck. In the same way that a playboy centre-fold wants men (and possibly women) to ogle at her breasts and other parts and hopefully like them so she can get more work presumably. Thats WHY people are watching the tv show and buying the mags and dvds, and going to the strip club, and cruising k-rd at certain hours.

    Saying the news reading is hopeless and saying the breasts are ugly are BOTH personal opinions. You just seem to take offence to one and not the other for some reason. I am a secondary school teacher, I am generally more insulted by students criticising the way a lesson is run or something I said far more than a cheap shot about my hair or clothes (and yeah, these days you get it all).

    Anyway, on the curse words.

    When I was in Korea I knew many North Americans as friends and colleagues. They were all surprised that we use the word 'cunt' to describe men. To them it is the ultimate insult to a women. I don't remember even hearing it used as a word to describe women in NZ before that point.

    These days it has become a form of endearment amongst many males as somebody has stated already. I think we over analyse some things way the fuck too much at times. Yours truly certainly guilty of it at times.

    I can't get nothing for "swads" either.

    I did find (in an amazing coincidence after my earlier post) that the word for the day at yourdictionary.com is lapidate though.

    Lapidate him to death!

    What the heck is a "swad"?

    The best I could find was a French rock band.

    Deborah:

    Which adds up to 105%.

    Please explain.

    Well I sorta got pre-empted, but anyway...

    They are women, some of them can't make up their mind ;)

    Steve, I think the issue (well for me anyway) is that this guy is on my tellie every night and I wake up to him and Kath Harby-Williams on the radio every morning (though mainly for the sports headlines cos I can't stand him). And so I would like him to properly face up to what he has done and not take a chance with public opinion by manipulating (and being manipulated). I have a real sick feeling in my stomach that in many peoples eyes he is redeemed already before his real redemption has even started.

    And yeah, I think he should either nail himself to a cross to be stoned half to death, or else he should quit and piss off quietly. Not tell half truths, paint himself to be a changed man without even fully owning up to what he did and hope that there's enough suckas out there that he can give mad props to when he makes a glorious comeback to high fives from dorks with no clue left right and centre.

    I admit, I've been drinking bourbon and coke all night and am in the middle of a James Bond marathon. Honey Ryder anyone?

  • Hard News: Radio Times,

    KiwiFM's Saturday morning State of Play sports show is a real breath of fresh air too.

    So it's like Tony "Soprano" Veitch then?

    Since Nov 2006 • 903 posts Report

  • Hard News: So far from trivial,

    If Veitch is truly honest he'll tell the police EXACTLY what happened and repeat it all in court if it ends up there.

    Sacha, I've also heard the violence increases when a team wins. Something to do with more booze being consumed in celebration.

    And Carolyn, it's all positive for the future with our youngsters until they leave to play in Europe in a couple of years and we have to rebuild on top of the rebuild of the rebuild before reconditioning and rotating return to be reintroduced

    ;)
