I wish I could quit you...

This is soooo cute!! And gay! Hee.

Canadians are weird

Young Canadians prefer 'virtual sex'

(No offence to any of you Canucks or Canuck-lovers out there.)

You can't always get what you want......

Last night me and the flatties went to see the Rolling Stones!!! Well not quite but we got to see these guys, the Counterfeit Stones which is practically the same thing. Liz's mate was in the band so we cruised out to Hammersmith to see them perform. I know it sounds slightly naff going to see a covers band but they were bloody awesome!!

Cruisin' With Lee

I don't mean to bring a downer on one of our nation's more successful Hollywood based directors but the whole Lee Tamahori thing just won't go away.

Now you can have a go at being a transvestite prostitute yourself in this game.

Hours of fun for the family. Or maybe not.

Helen Clark is my mum, apparently

I uploaded my photo to this website, which used face recognition technologies to work out which celebrity you most resemble. According to them I most resemble both Helen Clark AND Kirsten Dunst!! How is that even possible? I'm rather disturbed that they think I look like Helen and also weirded out that they matched me with my Prime Minister. Do you think the NZ beanie gave it away?

Here is a demonstration. See for yourself if I do actually look like Aunty Helen or a young attractive Hollywood actress. Or neither.

Here's me -


Now here's Helen -



And finally, Ms Dunst -

Geek Out Time

We bring you an interruption to the regularly scheduled fodder of silliness and tin-ternet gossip to bring you some intellectual stimulation.

I found these facinating articles on NZ society and culture from Public Address a blogging website featuring Russell Brown of Hard News fame from good ol' 95bfm. Some of them date back 40 or 50 years but still have an amazing relevance to modern NZ society. I particularly liked Keith Sinclair's predictions of the future "Brain Drain" of highly skilled and educated New Zealanders seeking employment overseas way back in 1963!Freaky!

Those of you ex Arts students - go read!

Waitangi Pub Crawl Madness

We survived the chaos that was the Waitangi Day Pub Crawl on Saturday and managed to complete our own personal record of 12 hours on the piss.

I dont think I have ever seen that many Kiwis in one place. Ever! They even had to shut down several tube stations due to the sheer volume of drunken Kiwis. Choice!

The most touching moment for me came as we waited to be let into Notting Hill Gate station, there were whispers from the Underground staff that the station would be closed. The NZ crowd broke into a rousing rendition of God Defend NZ (English and Maori versions) and we were finally ushered through the gates. It almost brought a tear to my eye.

The crawl came to a semi-offical close at 4pm as thousands of Kiwis coverged on Westminster to watch our boys perform a co-ordinated group haka. Unfortunately because of the huge crowds we couldnt actually see the haka but we could hear the roar as they launched into the haka not once, but twice.

I will post my photos eventually but for now this website has pics of the carnage.

Doesn't it make you proud to be a New Zealander?

Oh My

What would Jake the Muss say?
