Matches (a drinking game) from either end of the hole, either that or the could roast marshmallows over the crematorium.

right you are. Yeah I remember those days too, especially one particular homosexual intermediate teacher who delighted in mincing about flexing his cane like some sort of phallic symbol. Kind like some of our current police force do with their pr24s.
Just wondering?
Has anyone been having issues with bandwidth since teleclown 'unleashed' broadband speeds? Myself I had a 3.5 Mbs connection that ran at that speed all of the time. Since the unthrottling of the local loop it hasn't run at anything over 1.2 Mbs! I wonder will Teleclown make adjustments to bills accordingly or just charge and barge. -
Not just the Labour party, but yes there does seem to be a disproportionately high number of them there. I'd be more inclined to think that was due to the highly unionised nature of that particular workforce and the close links between the union movement socialism and the Labour party. As far as collective punishment goes its not something I'm into, my charges know that if they mess up they will be held responsible, not their peers as well. That's just a sure fire recipe for bullying.

As far as the drinking age is concerned I'm in agreeance with Te Brown about the split level solution, 18 for bars (supervised consumption) and 20 for off license purchases (unsupervised drunken falling). I had many years experience in hospo before becoming a school teacher and saw lots of really dumb stuff mostly perpetrated by teenagers who seemed to think it was there right and in some cases civic duty to endanger the general public. It wont be hard to implement at all nothing changes for bars 18-19s can still enjoy a beverage in a comfortable and safe environment while slightly (and I emphasise slightly) more mature people can purchase for their own use outside of a licensed premises. It is the most logical solution which means this being NZ, it'll never happen.

As far as I'm concerned the bunch down in welly are nowhere near the model I'd seek for social responsibility or ethics. It has been quite astounding the barefaced corruption that this government has been repeatedly caught at. These people want to tell us how to live? Banning something just gives it added cachet and in terms of fireworks that's just a dumb idea. I liked the idea of licensing for purchases (could be extended to year round supply) and could be run by police in the same fashion as firearms licenses are at present, with vetting processes etc. Myself I managed to convert a replica flintlock pistol made in 5th form engineering at Waitakere College in west auckland ('side) to take a double happy and fire a metal projectile like a small socket nearly 80m, heh.
