all whites
black cocks

they breed em funny over in NZ.

I was playing Buzz yestey and got the capital of NZ wrong, i think I said Auckland.

I believe the badminton team has stopped officially calling itself the Black Cocks because the international badminton organisation people weren't all too happy about it. But I think it's a hilarious name.

And as somebody from the capital, allow me to kick you in the shins!

So you don't forget next time:

WELLING-FUCKING-TON!

thought it looked like that.

I must be the only person on earth who didn't give a shit about high school formals. Didn't go to mine. Stayed at home and listened to U2 bootlegs instead.

By the sounds of it, I made the right choice.

i deleted a bootleg today, unforgettable fire tour, one of the melbourne shows, it sounded soooo bad.

the WILATW snippet in Kansas 01 but they never did it again it sounds fantastic.

 

[Alisaura]

are you a hawks fan????


Cos I like the Hawks.

More or less. I chose them arbitrarily as a nine-year-old, but I'm not exactly a passionate supporter. Nice to see them winning, though!

I just wish Jeff Kennett barracked for someone else.

I think that's the same as what you got last time. Or maybe you were 23% ...

its so confusing, auckland, christchurch, wellington, and theres one other town im forgetting... possibly hamilton or something.

 

[Axver]

OK Australians, let's see how well you know YOUR OWN history.

What was the capital of Australia before Canberra?

 

[Cin]

I'm back, I think I'd better look back a little bit

 

[Axver]

its so confusing, auckland, christchurch, wellington, and theres one other town im forgetting... possibly hamilton or something.

The four traditional major centres are Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. Hamilton has since passed Dunedin in population.

Auckland is far and away the largest city in terms of population. Wellington is far and away the best city in terms of everything.

 

[cobl04]

fuck. dont know that.

melbourne?

More or less. I chose them arbitrarily as a nine-year-old, but I'm not exactly a passional supporter. Nice to see them winning, though!

I actually don't mind Kennett... but I spose I wasn't old enough to hate him when he was premier so i dont harbour any ill feelings towards him.

 

[cobl04]

I'll visit one day. Was planning on going to see one tree hill till they cut it down??

Why do people wreck musical history?

JEFF IS GOD.

Weren't a big fan of Bracksy or the pot-smoking Brumby?

 

[Axver]

fuck. dont know that.

melbourne?

Correct.

By the way, if you could have warped time somehow so that your game was held during the period 1841-1863, you would have been right as Auckland was the capital then. Russell 1840-41, Auckland 1841-63, and Wellington ever since.

Russell's some tiny little town up at the very top of the North Island. Probably about three people and a cat live there. It was just where the British happened to establish their first base.

So, since God does not exist, Kennett does not exist and the Kennett years were just a bad dream?

AWESOME.

climbing the rungs. #198 now, four more posts till im #197, then another 200 something for #196

 

[Alisaura]

But the WEIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL WORLD HISTORY SHALL FALL UPON YOUR SHOULDERS!

It will break your back.

Not if I don't give a crap.


Bloody hell, slow down, you lot!!

Yeah, it's now None Tree Hill, though the big plinth and stuff is still there.

Some turkey thought chopping it down would make a point about Maori land rights or something. He did a shitty job and the council managed to keep the tree alive for a few years before having to destroy it as it became beyond saving. Now nobody seems to be able to agree on what kind of tree to plant to replace it ...

OK, I'll just bury you under the weight of the Superthread's rate of posting.

Were many people disappointed??

Ans obviously in 87 NZ got the message the song was about their One Tree Hill? cos it went #1 yeah?

there is, however, one (well two) requirements.

chiefly, be an aussie, kiwi, or an honorary aussie/kiwi

and you need to take the purity test.

AXVER!! retireve the purity test, if youd be so kind.

Well, I'm definitely a Skip, complete with a pommie parent - hence my love of knocking all things British (while secretly wishing I was back there living permanently or something... except for the total lack of sun)... Did I mention my tendancy to get sidetracked really easily?
Yeah, as Jen has pointed out I adore me a good Brit comedy. I even posted Bernard (aka Black Books) in the Crush thread. No one noticed. And the IT Crowd is on my favourites list. And of course The Young Ones.

What was the question again?


And this test.... youse won't see my answers will you? I'm ashamed just reading through them.

 

[mysterious_jen]

or her weight or bra size.

I must be the only person on earth who didn't give a shit about high school formals. Didn't go to mine. Stayed at home and listened to U2 bootlegs instead.

By the sounds of it, I made the right choice.

I went to a John Farnham concert instead of ours. And it was my 18th birthday, too.

I don't regret it!

Yeah, fuck education, healthcare, infrastructure, full employment, and taking care of the less fortunate and socially marginalised. Let's get Howard, Kennett, and his cronies back in power so that a few wealthy elite can get richer and delude the increasingly poorer underclass that their position isn't as bad as it really is.
