OMG! Burned by my own boyfriend! Hey Russ! I'm f**king John Campbell! So there!
Get a room you two.
Oh wait, you already have, disregard.

Is 'punchiest' even a word?
Yes, as in: 'Once Muhammed Ali became the punchiest boxer in the sport, he needed to retire or risk getting Alzheimers'.

Could someone tell me - and I am genuinely fascinated to hear a sensible answer - why so many people are obsessed with a foreign domestic competition on the other side of the world?
People follow all sorts of sport from all over the world. What's the problem?
Also, along with the Europe-wide Champions League it is (arguably) the top of the pile for world football, a sport a lot of NZ'ers play, so why wouldn't they be interestedin it? Just like a NZ team/club/school basketball player probably supports a NBA team.

And am I the only person who thinks Boston Legal has finally jumped the shark? I've reached the point where I no longer find James Spader and William Shatner's heterosexual bro-mance creepy...
Absolutely. The love has well and truly gone.
Entourage is still worth a look on Wednesdays. It's going nowhere but it's fun getting there, calf implants and all.

Hang tight. You'll be able to get Freeview with your standard UHF aerial from April. And you can take the box with you when you move.
Plus, from next year aren't TV's going to have the decoder built in? And aren't PS3's and no doubt an increasing number of entertainment devices going to have the decoder built in?
So eventually, you'll just have it by default.

Wasn't there a moral panic about people in the lake when British glam rockers the Sweet played there in the 70s? You'd have to be a certain age to remember that though ...
Best concert lake story has to be Hawkwind with Bob Calvert, tripping off his nut in a large green frog suit at an outdoor concert in Scandanavia. Not being able to see properly he fell off stage into the lake at the front of the stage and nearly drowned. Lemmy was not a huge fan of Calvert so rather than help him out, he just stayed onstage and laughed himself silly at the sight of a large green drugged up frog flailing about in the water and slowly sinking.
The full story is in Lemmy's autobiography 'White Line Fever'.

another gem of her highnesses was witnessed at the "Bowl of Brooklands" in New Plymouth when, at sound check, she requested that the resident ducks in the pond in front of the stage were to be shot as they were interferring with her performance!!!!!....
Now that's just funny. I'm liking Kiri more and more.
