I noticed that as I rushed to get this typed up before everyone had had their say already.
One of the few thrills from the first test was seeing if Chris Martin was going to get that one more test duck to take the record off Danny Morrison.

The issue would be how to prevent "family" groupings like the Kahui and Glassie versions.
Indeed, I think you will find that traditional monogamous married couples are perfectly capable of abusing their children. I said it a while ago on the original domestic violence thread, but abuse is caused by people who abuse, not by step-parents or rugby or microchips or welfare or whatever else we're blaming this week.

Something just occured to me - isn't checking the sex blogs something most do on their breaks, not when they get back from one?
Darlin', my day job involves erotica. Poor, sure, but happy.

So what are the Welsh trying to say with their shirts. Brains up this part, beer down here - is there doubt which way up?
I love the Brains shirts. They're right up there with the team where everyone is called Mr Price.
I don't know if I'm just a pessimist, or if I've been a NZ cricket fan for too long, but when all the reporters were saying yesterday "NZ is on top" and "Australia is struggling" I thought 'whatever. Talk to me tomorrow when we've been bowled out for 135'.
I'm pretty sure that just makes you a realist.

I know, right? That built-in orange vinyl bar has me actually drooling like Homer Simpson.
I think I had a teeny tiny heart attack. And that bathroom! You'd just have to sit down and... powder things.
I'd kill for that office.
My father had that exact same desk, in about 1977.

I just have to say though - I found that photo of that man and his two partners a little disquieting.
I think it's a 'bit disappointing' that they couldn't find one polyamorous relationship which consisted of a woman and multiple men, or all members of the same sex. (And by couldn't, just in case I'm not trowelling the sarcasm on heavily enough, I mean didn't.) But then, I don't think I'd pass up people called Summer and Kestrel either.
Having seen 20/20 reports on things I know and care about, I don't honestly think I could bring myself to watch that.

What he said... perhaps if it gets kinky but, Ms Hart will at least write about it?
The process may increase my typos...

I'm guessing it's down to what you feed them with. Like chooks.
And many dogs are quite happy to eat chooks, that's what happened to ours.

If we allow people who are already in recognised polygamous marriages to come into NZ, and retain the status of marriage with all their spouses, why shouldn't kiwis be allowed to enter into polygamous marriages?
Well, obviously, I think that as long as every partner in the arrangement can give informed consent, NZers SHOULD be allowed to enter into polygamous and polyandrous marriages. But I'm also aware that makes me a fairly extreme minority, and it ain't going to happen.
Also, don't forget that polygamy is a very one-sided concept. One man, many wives. Never the other way around. Do we, as a country, actually want to countenance such views of women?
In modern Western countries, polyamory isn't like that. Yes, traditional polygamy has been a hugely sexist, possessive institution - and a Judeo-Christian one, of course. But that doesn't mean that a modern polyamorous relationship has to be that way.
I have a net-friend who's in a polyamorous relationship. She's in serious long-term relationships with two men, one of whom is also married to another woman. Every person involved in that web is aware of and accepting of all the other relationships. This is not a 'she gets a drawer in his bedroom' arrangement.

Beaten to it. Haaaart! (shakes fist)
I really need a more yellable name. Unfortunately, the only other surname I was ever offered was McGeachie.
Do you have an insight on Spain, BTW Giovanni? Because I found their 'gay marriage in a conservative Catholic country' kind of odd.
Anyway, I'm off to prune roses and listen to test cricket while contemplating the weirdness of a day where I sort of advocated polygamy.
