Naff
I like Gin Wigmore. I already done said it. But that idea of using a picture of yourself with a red background on one side and blue one on the other? Well, that’s just naff. – P
Green Gorilla: What? No authorisation statement?
OMG, don’t let Cameron Slater see this! After last week’s brain fart he might blow a gasket. I don’t know exactly which Green Party candidate it’s promoting — who is the ‘Green Gorilla’? Does anyone know? Russel Norman? Bu-bu-but I couldn’t see an authorisation statement anywhere! Gee, they’re cunning, those Greens. Very cunning … – [...]
Choked? Who? The Aussies?
I hesitate to say anything that might remotely jinx the All Blacks next weekend against France in the Rugby World Cup final … I had the opportunity to wish All Blacks coach Graham Henry the best of luck in person today, so like a schoolboy, I did. This is from the foot of a rather [...]
Birds of a feather part 2
Ha! A couple of days ago, I commented how a google search led me to a website offering training courses in pick up lines for women … and, judging by the ads on the site, punters in the market for that valuable, um, service also appear interested in paying to learn Gambling tips. Today I [...]
Birds of a feather?
Ha! I found this funny: I googled the term ‘disvalidation‘ this morning (I know it’s not a real word, but wanted to see if it was used, you’ll see why in a later post on the Filter Bubble) … and saw a web result that, on a glance, I thought had the word ‘education’ in [...]
A rich Green comedy performance from Matthew Hooton
STAND UP COMIC Matthew Hooton — he works part-time as a political commentator — had me howling, breathless with laughter at his latest comedy routine on RadioLIVE earlier in the week. Under the deeply ironic title of ‘The Political Panel’, talkback radio hosts Willie Jackson and John Tamihere sometimes give a platform to budding comedians [...]
World’s Shortest Fairy Tale
{snort!} (Thanks to Jeremy Parkinson.)
A wittle bit of hyperbole? Or not?
There’s a saying in newsrooms which goes something like: “We’d better hope when the End of the World comes there won’t be a sports reporter on the newsdesk … because they’ll have used up all their superlatives.“ Look at this great lead paragraph regarding a Rugby League star: Last night’s game redefined the word irreplaceable. [...]
Coincidence
I swear every word of this is true. A couple of days ago I tweeted a link about a ‘Blogger whose poos don’t smell …’ … referring to my post that day about [update:] recent tactics of the VFC anti-MMP campaign … Well, today after I picked him up from school, my son and I [...]
How to piss off an All Blacks supporter
Crikey! UPDATE: Apparently the Queenslanders are buying them from a South African T-shirt maker: I made this one off t-shirt for a rugby union mad friend as laugh for his day out with his kiwi mates to the rugby just after the 2007 RWC. To my surprise, four years later, his photo has gone viral [...]
