  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    In the early years of this century I was staying with a friend who lived near Chicago, and we did a fair bit of driving around looking at garage sales and auctions. After a few days I asked him why...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    It's been a long road indeed, but finally over. The wheels of justice etc. etc....
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    No worries. They've only just won a court case against the pakeha farmer next door who had a sign on his property and is believed to have been charging people to access the site via his property -- even though...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    Absolutely not taking the piss, the place is actually owned by my whanau. Has been acknowledged as the longest place name in the world since I was a moko....

    That's completely insane, but welcome to the 21st century :-(...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    I have one word for you -- Japan. I read something once which may not be true but what they said was that if houses were numbered in Japan house number 1 in a street would be the oldest. I...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    TBH I expected it to be the latter -- I myself have get minor pleasure from doing people's heads in :-)...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    Ahh yes, the character Female in Cat People -- love the Malcolm McDowell version, haven't seen the original...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    That's a lovely painting. Do you actually have a connection to Yarramulla or do you just like doing people's heads in? ;-)...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    We have Gove at one end of the country and Grove at the other. Then there are the problems caused by laziness. Our service is in South Australia and we have a community called Nyapari. There's a community in the...
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    Not helped by having two dark haired adults, two dark haired children and two blondes....
  • Commented on A Wonky Experience
    My family at the time -- my sister and I, our mother, our step-father and his two children -- checked into a motel once and confused the management by having three surnames between us....
  • Commented on A message from our sponsors: New Book coming!
    Thanks but nope -- during a war is a whole different thing. They actually NEEDED those planes to survive....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Ahh, the Minister for Everything else who was found not guilty of taking a bribe the briber was found guilty of providing... Those were the good old days....
  • Commented on A message from our sponsors: New Book coming!
    It's still actually good to have at least one example of a government (Canada) raising funds for stupidly expensive weapon rather than just going "we must have this, everyone pay more taxes". It is of course sad that in this...
  • Commented on A message from our sponsors: New Book coming!
    Is this the first actual military force doing a bake sale to buy a plane????...
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Scary times for sure; I just hope we make it through to the Satya Yuga. All I can suggest is find like-minded people and work together....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Shhhhhh...
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    And yet that wasn't enough for a serviceman who was getting on a plane in Honolulu. There was a bit of a kerfuffle as I was checking in, and they told me they wanted to scan my bag but I...
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Nope, never made it to the Carolinas. From memory Hawai'i, Oregon, Kansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C. and Florida....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Weeelll. I hadn't put a US address on the form because I didn't know the address of the first people I was staying with -- I was on a trip to meet a bunch of people I'd been talking to...
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Ahh yes, the conversation I had with Customs at San Francisco airport that started with:"How long are you planning to be here?" "About three months." Pause. "Do you have a job?" "Yes." "how can you take three months off work??"...
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Ack, forgot to add the "cask wine"....

    "...grog is cheap "box monster"..." -- known colloquially by Indigenous users in the NT as "fruity wine"....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Thanks John but will be trying to buy something I don't have to get a loan on -- will see what's available when my care sells....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Should have read a bit further -- what you said....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Sorry Greg but I have to agree with Moz. Dry communities in remote Australia are such a good idea the locals are usually the ones who make them dry. It helps keep out grog runners and other drug dealers, as...
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Thanks for the tip, once I get someone other than scammers interested in my car I'll keep an eye out....
  • Commented on Same bullshit, new tin
    Yes I suspect that I'm the only one here who'd even heard about it, much less read it....
