I know ppl who've gone to the Uk and totally crave maggi instant noodles and have their families send it over to them. It's a weird phenomenon. It's one of those foods that you have when you're a starving student/in your 1st flat and you're so poor you either have to bring noodles to work for lunch or sell your CDs at Slow Boat in order to eat. And then when you can't have it you crave it.
I'm pretty sure Milan went to my college. Or maybe it was a guy who just looked like him - killer cheekbones and all that. Or maybe I'm just hallucinating..
Pluto must play in Wellington. Do you hear me Pluto?? Come to Wellington, we'd love to have you.
how do you know it's historically correct? do you know who wrote it?
Is it like the dictionary where new editions come out each year, or is it set in stone now.
I was surprised to hear that Steriogram are Christians. Whatever, that's cool to have your own beliefs. I just can't relate to the bands that sing about God. As an atheist it's boring to me. And don't get me started on Creed. I'm not a huge Steriogram fan but their video for walkie talkie man is so gorgus.
I love the one with sundried tomatoes and something else (basil I think) but my boy's always like "what did you get that shit for?". he prefers the old skool Original flavour. Vogel's is the bomb
where is Dominic? and why hasn't he got his come upppance. I missed a few episodes at the start of this year so I'm a bit in the dark
When I was in a band I think the most we ever got paid playing in a pub was around $65 which had to be split between the 4 of us. This was all money from the door charge. Yet pretty much all of the punters in the bar were friends/flatmates and acquaintances of the people in the bands. So the pubs did pretty well out of us. We never did it for the money anyway (obviously) and it was really great seeing all those smiling supportive ppl in the crowd... but we might have been better off having a party at a friends warehouse apartment, brought our own PA and charged $5 at the door. Everyone could have brought their own alcohol, thereby saving $$ on not paying bar prices for drinks and helping their mates out into the bargain. But then the vibe might not have been the same and you're not getting the exposure that you would playing in public. then there's noise control, annoying neighbours...
you could have a list with childhood faves - fraggle rock, the muppets, play school - and a grownups fave list. I'll just have to make my own :@
I feel totally ripped of by this summer. we had a couple of good weeks of sun in Oz but as soon as we got back it was just she ite. I just wish the wind and rain would stop - for the love of god! you spend the winter trudging to work in the cold and rain hanging out for summer and when it doesn't happen it totally gets you down
Channel Z have are giving away 2 tickets. you'll have to fight me for them tho
has anyone tried the peach and berry flavoured beers. Hurgh! Nasty
Apparently the transactions under $1,000 (about $370,000 worth) weren't checked up on. Now, I don't know about some people, but most of my monetary transactions are under $1,000 (except for when I saved my pennies for a trip to Aussie). I just don't have that kind of money to splash around
How can you say "good on her"? She's a thief, plain and simple. It doesn't matter that what she stole only amounts to maybe half a cent per person, she stole from her employers. That makes her a greedy, lazy, freeloader. If you employed someone and they stole from you would you say "oh well, she/he must have had a hard life, good on her for taking what she can. No worries mate". ??
That's so weird seeing that. My sister's name was Sarah Lewis (she's married now)
Sorry, I know that's totally irrelevant
don't they have different hosts every week on UK TOTP? I don't who they are (but most of them seem to be Scottish) but I think they may be local celebrities. They could do something similar here, but have local musos presenting and not someone like Mike King or, um, Waverley from Shorters.
Or am I completely wrong?
She could have spent some of that money on a gym membership! Or a decent haircut. If it weren't for the fact that it was taxpayer money she was spending, I would find it quite amusing that they spent $100k doing up their house and it's still only worth $160-180k. Hardy har.

We saw that movie last weekend at the Paramount. I actually remember seeing it at the movies at Maidstone Mall in Upper Hutt way back when (I'm not from there - I'm actually a Pram chuck) and oh! the memories. I don't remember David's pants being quite so , erm, out there though.
//how do you get a pig into a gig?
is it alive before you arrive?
Nice rhyming couplet. That's hilarious. should I find that as funny as I do? maybe i am disturbed, but i would never bring a pig into a gig.
The Speights ads used to be good. "Good on ya mate". Understated, simple and so New Zealand. But they've kind of lost their way a bit, like the one where they get locked in the Speights factory. There's a new billboard in Kilbirnie on the road back from the airport - one Southland dude asks the other Southland dude "have you ever been in love?" and the other guy replies "yeah, there was a filly once but i had to shoot her". What the fuck? Is that hinting at beastiality or is it just showing that he's a cold bastard and only loves his beer? Am I thick because I don't get it. They're just not as clever as they used to be.
I think stop drop and roll is about doing the wild thing with your loveur
I'd love to be able to have an opinion on which Datsun smells the best...
Why even differentiate between girls and guys in bands? You wouldn't ask "what do you think about guys in bands". Women also make music - it's not a male only domain.
