Isn't it odd when the real world is turning very very scary we return to our old safe places in the virtual world.
So very pleased to see you on the bill of the winter festival, the school of music is an excellent venue... not quite a stadium...
I assume that the NSOM will be looking after you with accommodation and such, but if not please drop me a line... even if you just want to come round for a feed....

Will there be a second round and if so may the Aka family be a part of it? Serves me right for not being a regular on the site any more if the answer is no, I missed the cut off for the 1st round by about 45 minutes....
I come from a family of donors, we are mostly Bs and ABs and an interesting mix of Rh negatives and positives....
One family member even had a police escort to get him from a rugby game to the hospital so he could donate... but enough showing off.
advice to the the giver of blood,
Drink a lot the day before..... an extra litre, this is slightly increase your volume, making it less likely to go "shocky"... this is actually more important than eating.
shout yourself a iron/ protein rich meal, will help to bring you back up to speed.... I go for spinach and liver.... the vegie doner gets a bean and spinach curry with lashings of natural yogurt..
Don't let the fainty thing put you off, once you have had it happen once it's not so scary the second time, it doesn't happen every time.. I think I have only gone shocky twice while giving blood.
Good luck with getting a pass mark
Simple to use, easy to log into.......
BUT and I think this is a huge and significant BUT... it logs the conversation, so when I popped in just now, I was able to read everything that happened in the room since I left last night, so not the bestest thing for privacy.
So how the hell is everyone any way.......
I have been popping in every couple of weeks or so trying to keep track of stuff
So Koe's been to Europe? Heathers off to China? Noise works for NZm?
We still don't know how we really feel about rugby and Rdor is still a sad wee house bound sod?
That about it?
it's a real bitch, I am beginning to suspect that it's a hoax.... I am no further on now, than I was last night.
Nice rise from #7 to NUMBER ONE....... that is not an easy thing to do, nope, nope, nope, not even a little bit.
1st sorry not to put this in the bar but blink doesn't often read that forum.
Blink you need to check your paradise email, emails to low hum keep bouncing....
//Okay um.. Heather - The mother from that program.. the one with a daughter.. er.. Come on someone help me out here. They live in a small town in america. It's somewhere between a drama & comedy
Lauren Graham, but that would make Alexis Bledel as the daughter of Aka very difficult....
//iluvtheclean - I would say Jamie Lee Curtis, but she's too old
and yet you are happy to leave me with Candice Bergen???? apart from the age thing... yeah
looks like pay back, haven't we had more than one topic on RIU and how it sucks and didn't we rip into the new editor?
and it's it Jon Toogood's hair and pants that we are always talking about.... wasn't there a pole?
//oh, yeah, and jimi as Zack Braff - so obvious, when i met him it was so obvious i felt i was in an early episode of Scrubs. ;)
I did tell all of you that ages ago didn't I ? that he looks like the slightly cuter younger brother...
But bloody hell, this is what I got......
63% Tony Curtis
54%Iggy Pop
49% rod stewart
44% jonny depp
44% paul newman
and thats the younger 30 something tony curtis not the old face ugly one............ oh crap does that mean i will look that bad when I get that old? but seriously that was from the all gender list, when I went female only, I got no matches tryed another photo and got no matches at all........
hmm I oviously have a unique look then......... thank god i make sweet sweet muffins :P
As much as i would like to take credit, they were in fact my Mother-in-Law's
good plan, I still can't get over the hypocrisy of my post but, i was in Dunedin when I wrote it and not once during the 10 days I was there, did I get in touch with any of the NZMers who live there.
Fucking hell nothing ever changes............ see ya all in another month
//AKA I was down in Nelson for three days, my auntie and cousins live in and around Richmond ( used to own a farm in Aniseed valley ) and an uncle and aunt who live in Stoke .. or near there anyway ( they run the hydroslide and bumper boat park down by the beach ) was tempted to find out your address so I could have popped in to say gidday ...
Gah. bah, sod and grrrrrrr, never ever do something like that again......... there has been something so off about these hoildays, you may well have been the highlight......... btw the couple who run the slide and boats are real sweeties.
//I love the band, but am yet to hear a recording of theirs that I actually like.
Actually I have, it was recorded live at The Arc?? last year when they played with HDu?? (sorry about the ?? but I really can't be arsed looking it up)
It was recorded by National Radio, you get the passion of the live performance combined with the clarity of a recording, Andrew's phrasing is chilling, you could feel the pain and the anguish....... I only wish that I wasn't travelling when it was played so I could have taped it.
As for the album...... sorry but it was recorded with the passion flitter on and I wanted to love it so much......... She of better taste plays it alot and gives me the rolled eyes, when ever I give my opinion.
but don't you get gifts for Hanukkah?........ isn't there this whole wee dradle thing?
way back when, I worked for the parent company of continental, when they launched Lots-of -Noodles, we were all dragged in for the launch party....... you should have seen the marketing divisions poor wee faces as we all burst out laughing at "beef"........... but this was the very early 80's surely the add isn't still about?
//head along to the website, register and share some knowledge.
and how does one register?
ya just a small comment on a watershed moment .... but pft it's only bloody Tuhoe and tree hugging lezzies. The police never do anything without good reason, nothing to worry about here, move along!
Hello one and all, just popped in for my 6 monthly visit. Ha I almost feel like a 1st time poster again.
