@mokey as 'one of the most recognised women in NZ' I have no idea who she is!

She must be at least in the top million.

I was coming to come out from under my rock and post - "Who"?

It seems that I am not alone.

[Bovidae]

Only recognisable for people who watch reality TV, read the women's mags etc. This backs up what I said earlier about the use of "celebrity" in NZ.

[Mokey]

@bovidae Yup. Our bulging D list, haha.

@mokey did you see the herald headline “ tv star dies in paragliding accident”? You click on it and get this , sad that he died all the same .

@bones Do you know, even as I was typing that I thought some cupcake is going to turn it into a boob joke.

[Mokey]

@jegga Yup. Very sad and unfortunate accident, but calling him a reality tv star is just stupid.

@mn5 I think this was written for you.

Your ‘jokes’ about Indian people aren’t funny – they’re racist and the reason for the hostility in Britain towards people like me | The Independent

'Your ‘jokes’ about Indian people aren’t funny – they’re racist and the reason for the hostility in Britain towards people like me'

Language is a powerful medium through which unconscious bias and prejudice against certain nationalities is reinforced. These jokes alienate people like me, and make us feel isolated and different

Harden up you narg fuckwits. Learn to drive and not stink the place out with curry while you're at it.

@mokey from piston wristed gibbon to cupcake, what a day I'm having.

[Bones]

@mn5 you read the article in Apu's voice didn't you?

it's pretty much inevitable karma-wise that one of MN5's kids will marry a wheelchair-bound asian communist. who's also a blues supporter, for the quinella.

I think he'd prefer a tranny to my edit.

[Mokey]

@bones Nah, just a cupcake. No one is a piston wristed gibbon for wanting the basic courtesy and intelligence of spelling your name right. Anything else is a person being a lazy shithead. Especially when it's in reply to an email and your name is literally right there.

Does it make me seem less bad if I mention I have friends who are Indian and also have great senses of humour?

Swiped right on tinder doesn't equal friends.

@mokey obviously they aren't fans of the fraggles.

@bones Discrimination!!

@jegga It seems some students and parents are keen to prove the principal's point.
