Any how here's Kim & Peter last year.

I can't work out if his racist rant is an honestly held position or a cynical conversational hand grenade dropped on the thread as he left it.
Trying to put logic to it is probably the wrong thing to do anyway.Gotta remeber this journalists career has followed the path where he now write resturant reviews, not indepth investigations. Why I've never heard about his novel about a 50yr old man travelling with his 80yr old mother before means he is an obvious victim of a conspiracy.

I know the dickhead who showed Platoon & Full Metal Jacket etc to the Singaporeans after their mates got blown up with ammunition explotion in Waiberia.
He really didn't think a comedy or surf movie might have been better. -
I can't recall platoon, but Glory is used for leadership.

Steady on Steve. Chur chur is a great place, a few issues and Kyle didn't get as many votes as the Communist in the last election.
Sam F - nice link.
Poor old Brighton existed in a bubble of Saturday trading, when NZ shut on the Weekend. The grand development out there has never recovered from deregulation. The sea water incursion into the stormwater is a looming issue with all it signals too.

Wales isn't on the Union Jack, Ireland is with the St Patricks cross, but of course St Patrick doesn't have a cross.
Dan Brown there is a bad movie in this. -
I recon the John Lyndon and Kele Okereke incident put a bit of reality into the punks were hardcore hippies line, popular with Richard Branson et al.

I think I've seen these patrols. It consisted of one skinny angry bonehead wearing black and walking his dog around Riccarton & Hagley Park. This was about 2years ago or more.
He moved with purpose and meanace.
This was the reason I wasn't allowed to put political placards on my front lawn during elections. A bit of self sensorship or descretion and the welfare of the kids need to be taken into account.
I find it interesting Kyle Chapman has moved into being a Mormon. I'm pretty sure they have a survivalist attitude, probably born of the deprevation that comes from a bad harvest in a fronteer existence.
Still guns and food stockpiles are within the Mormon religion.The guy apparently leaves the NF behind and becomes a Mormon and so none of his family attend the wedding. Now that's strange.

Saving Private Ryan is used to teach the rules of engagement in our NZDF.
The opening scene of the guy burning and not being shot is the 'right' thing to do.
Reason - we don't use euthasia and being on fire renders you a non-combatant and therefore not to be shot.
They then show real footage of brits who have survived well after having what seems like half their head (including brain) being shot away.
The legality of killing is a tricky thing.appologies to gio

Someone directed cars as the new mode of transport, and petrol as the main fuel. Electric cars being around for over a centuary now.
I take it Ford takes a bow here too? -
Oh the wonders of wiki. Wiki says yes Ford & GM used slave labour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OST-Arbeiter
Ford was bigger than Hitler or Stalin, I never thought of that.
