Drummer to pay fine for graffiti

dubdubdub, 18 July 2005 - 4:30pm

The drummer of an Auckland band has escaped a tagging conviction after his lawyer argued that a police record could prevent him from going abroad.

In Auckland District Court yesterday Shelton Hedley Woolright, 25-year-old drummer in the Auckland band Blindspott, pleaded guilty to wilfully damaging a wall on Karangahape Rd on July 14 with a marker pen.
Judge Avinash Deobhakta discharged him without conviction after defence counsel Jo Wickliffe said that a police record could affect his ability to travel overseas with the band.
Woolright, a former boyfriend of model Nicky Watson, was ordered to pay $200 to the Methodist Mission.
Ms Watson, who was reportedly with Woolright at the time, was initially put in a police car but was released without being asked to go to the police station. The pair had been at the opening of a graffiti exhibition at Disrupt Gallery on Karangahape Rd.
Woolright told Judge Deobhakta he was walking a friend to a car following the exhibition when he was given a marker pen which he foolishly used.
Judge Deobhakta said he doubted that a graffiti offence would stop Woolright travelling, but agreed to discharge him without conviction.
He said he had no sympathy for people who used other people's property for "artistic or unartistic" work.
The $200 donation will be used to help feed the homeless.

See, that's what happens when you hang out with your ex!!!! Nicky W is just trouble with a cpaital T

Hahaha, that's kinda funny..

Can I take this opportunity to register my extreme annoyance at whoever decided to paint over the awesome bombing at the Morningside train stop. Moreover, the colour they chose is cowshit brown. As if that block of flats isn't soulsuckingly ugly enough already.

Those guys who paint over graffiti seems eternally perflexed by what colour paint to use.

In the past I'm sure someone said, "concrete is grey, therefore we will use grey paint." Well, concrete can be grey, but sometimes it can be a sort of beigy creamy colour and painting it grey stands out as much as the graffiti did.

That muddy khaki does not beautifu Morningside.

He'd been to a graffiti exhibition and so he decided to do some graffiti? Quick, moral campaigners - make sure he never gets his hand on Grand Theft Auto!

smart enough to make a lot of cash from her looks, despite being ugly, though.

She does great work for Women’s Refuge and there's a charity organisation that is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff if ever there was she so she gets props from me. And i believe this is for personal reasons too.

I also rate Nicky Watson. Also I think she's pretty in a gawky farmgirl kind of way. She looks like she should be wearing plaits and gingham.

but fuck she'd be terrible to listen to. i fear for all the listeners of the rock that have to listen to her babble on if she's still got her show on that thing

I would like to argue that she would be no fun to fuck, for the following reasons:

1. She appears to be very high maintenance, so she would be all "oh no, I can't do that, I might break a nail.

2. She'd be too easy to overbalance

3. How can you enjoy yourself if you're forced to consider where the drummer from Blindspott, not to mention assorted other 'celebrities' have been first?

Joanna, 20 July 2005 - 9:34pm

yeah, i totally agree.

i would rather listen to her than fuck her.

still, i think she deserves props for using at least a little bit of her 'fame' for something incredibly important in NZ

when you're bowling over someone of the quality of nicky watson, the last thing i'd worry about is her whining about her nails or hair, just keep smack her one in the face, tell her to shut up and keep playing with wondorous fake titties
