someone posted a thing about a NZ nutcase saying the
earthquakes were caused by the PM or something.. i've spazzed back can't find it and google says no
link please?
Whilst I do believe that John Key is a cunt
I think he is fairly uninvolved in causing any of the recent seismic activity...
Haven't seen the link though, and would like to also.
it was almost timecube like
key is a hologram didn't you know?
Splendid
Key always just looks too good to be real, although on Sat morning, he did, for the first time look a bit shook. So maybe he is real, or the programming is improving.
Ironically, they have appointed Gerry Brownlee as minister for sorting out Christchurch. Bad plan, as he could cause aftershocks just walking down the street.
For those lucky enough not to know Jabba Brownlee:

"he could cause aftershocks just walking down the street."
A bit like Mary Harney being health minister

Funnily enough
Gerry has always made me think of a male Mary Harney...
I had to laugh the other month
when she sat there wheezing and sweating talking about an increase in obesity
omfl
is she our health minister?
we are fucked
post another fatfuck
and the board may collapse
what about that fat woman who was
married to that black comedian guy who now spends all his nights in hotels.
Man i am rubbish with names today
erm

(lou reed gets pissy about one of his worst songs)
i didnt know
that one had to have specific permission to perform somebody elses song live.
i don't think you do
karaoke would be a bit fucked
Depends who owns the copyright and the terms
Led Zeppelin don't let many people cover their songs. They own the copyright personally rather than their record label who own distribution rights only. Also see Pink Floyd
curious
I am 1 score away from being back at no.1
Rocky and bullwinkle tonight for me. Finally got to grips with agents. It's a table that is all about 1 ramp. Based on star trek next generation. Beautiful modelling of the ramps thoughs
bah!
i was going to have a go night before last but ended up playing a gamme called Vanquish.
I hadnt noticed that any were modelled on proper tables, but i suppose it makes sense.
I noted on the fx2 demo that they seem to have put some sort of motion blur on the ball like they have on the ps3 (where the games plays exactly the same just with some different tables). the motion blur bugs me though for some reason.
Yeah, I'm not keen
There's a green table on zen pinball with a trange playfield at the top with no flippers? What's that all about.
I think it may actually be their take on twilight zone
It's been flipped the other way round and had the mini table at the top replaced and all manner of stuff changed but look at the ramps
aye
the ramp, the bumpers at the edge of the extra playfield.
hmmm, i bet they are all takeoffs of other tables then. the alien invaders one always made me think of the original star wars
Hopefully we'll get all their tables too
hopefully you'll be able to turn off motion blur
in all honesty
the other few tables arent upto much imho, the floor is too cluttered so it makes watching the ball difficult thus they put the motion blur in i assume. Mars is nice though, big open spaces, lots of ramps that you can just spin the ball round continuously
Terminator 2 by the looks of things
same as ghost hunt for pinball dreams
how on earth do you remember these things?
If it's any consolation I only remember thing of no importance
The important stuff gets buried under crap
the thing is nz politics are so raw.. sooo childish
if i ever moved back there i think my mind would explode
how do you keep sane?
Very much like
Ireland then, some of the mad ideas they come up with make me wonder if they are all on acid, the changing the side of the road you drive on one was a corker, especially when they said they'd phase it in. The latest one is to charge tax on ATM withdrawals, we already pay stamp duty on credit cards
wow!
and then they go and blow it all by paying doleys 200 euro
the wankers
See Flan's response above
I was brought up in Ireland, so am well used to it.
at least you get free condoms in nz
as16yr olds.. embarrassed as fuck going down the clinic getting an afterpill..
".. and now do you want some black ones.. we have strawberry flavour.. oh and just in these glow in the dark"
we walked out happy campers
Well its fine now in Ireland
But when I was first an undergrad (17-18) in Dublin, there was a running battle between the polis and the students' union over codoms
SU would install condom machine in the toilets, Gardai would turn up and rip it off wall. Repeat every month or so for about a year, until the fucking stone age law got sorted out.
You couldn't make this shit up
to be fair those filth were
fucking a lot of nuns.. they needed all they could get

Remember when you asked what split pins were called
and I said split pins, and you said "no they're not split pins" and it turns out they're called split pins?
It was about five hours before that.
haha.. i went into the local diy shop.. said split pins for paper
he just looked at me
we don't do stationary.. i see.. yu're moving up.. walked out in silence
got them though in the end.. the box doesn't even have a name
just calls them 'essentials'.. they are pretty cool
You went to a DIY shop to buy stationery?
Maybe you should think about sobering up.
why?
they sell sellotape.. pots pans.. backpacks for fucksakes.. i thought they could manage some brass splitter tacks
There was a chance they might, it's true,
but a stationery shop is even more likely to sell them.
post office to the rescue!
wow they really sell all sorts of shit.. i.e. printers for a tenner
my nearest post office
sells groceries, tellies, fresh bread baked on the premises, all sorts!
Hold on, I mean my local asda has a post office in it. It's actually really rubbish - there's always a sizable queue and they only sell stamps in the post office bit which has shorter opening times than the rest of the shop.
stop complaining
stamps are cool
Stamps are cool
and I should be able to buy them whenever I want, not when the post office counter is open and I can be arsed queuing again.
Make your own,
complete with your mug on them:

No, you can't.
The thing with your photo on isn't a postage stamp. It's just your phot printed on a bit of stamp paper that you can stick on an envelope next to a postage stamp.
/disappointed
STOP!
Goatse time!
you can
the newsagents sell them round these parts, i think even some of the supermarkets do albeit in books of 10 or so.
I'll stick my neck out and
say most shops sell stamps in books of 6 or 12. This aids me feeling old because I nearly always have some stamps in my wallet 'just in case'
As do I,
that's not an age thing it's a sensible thing.
I do too but sensible is stretching it.
There can't be too many emergency letter situations where you have to have a stamp on hand immediately.
Aye but since I nearly always buy my stamps in the supermarket
it would be foolish to buy a book of 6 then leave them at home or at work as opposed to in my wallet, since undoubtedly the next time I need one I would be in the wrong place.
Most small shops
will sell them to you individually if you ask rather than having to buy a full book.
/bought 4 stamps just last night
This.
Don't they end up unusably dirty
and stuck together in your wallet?
Also, in _what_ case?
Maybe i'm just not the Spontaniously Writing A Letter When I'm On A Walk-type.
They don't do licky sticky ones
any more, it's all self stick.
They come in a little cardboard folder
which stops them from getting all mucky.
I have just a very dirty wallet.
-:
birthday cards etc,
bought and written hurriedly in the car.
Yes,
but I don't like the local shop. It's rough and the staff can't understand me. There's only so many times you can say "twelve and a half grammes of cutters choice, please" before you change it to "20 B&H".
You could just go with
"small pack" rather than confusing them.
this man is correct
"small bag of drum, two packets of large silver rizlas please" always gets me what i want.
it's the "cutters choice" bit
that they can't get their ears round.
It's easier to go to asda and be served by someone who has actually spoken to someone who isn't from wigan before.
If you're going to go all Timecube on us
you're going to need a lot more narcotics...
