Sweet! Thank goodness as true-love told me to do hers too. Would have been disappointed if I'd just voted for red peak</p></blockquote>

...unless of course Mokey is a covert peaker and you've just been had twice! -
<p>I've been doing a lot of walking lately and have the opportunity to see all the flags flying on various properties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have to say the current one probably looks the most like a flag. RP the least.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blue black doesn't look great IMO - the blue and black don't contrast enough. Although it is probably my preference now that I've seen the pamphlet. I totally agree with whoever said the backpack images clearly show which are brands</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My issue is the Lockwood fern. I just don't like it.</p> -
<p>I've had a few people on facebook throw up photos of the blue/red Lockwood flag next to some New Zealand lamb in a butchery in Abu Dhabi or some such place, of course the discourse that follows that is that the flag has already been changed and the referendum is just a sham...I've very kindly pointed out a plausible explanation but we all know how those folk go with facts, proof and common sense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anyone else get this level of retard on facebook? Is it new phenomenon or is it local to New Zealand? I never really noticed anything like that when based in the UK. Really has me looking at certain friends and acquaintances in a horrible new light.</p> -
<p>I have seen plenty of those, as well as the meme with a pic of the flag and Key, and the words don't change this (under the flag) change this (under Key)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tend to avoid these kinds of discussions on FB...I made a simple fact based comment a little while back on my kids school page about a change they were making, and the due I was correcting tried to engage me in a discussion about the merits of the change and all sorts, which made it even clearer he hadn't read the news letter, nor did he know jack from jill!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So each response I merely pointed back to the original question he asked, and that it might be a good idea if he went in and spoke to the school...2 weeks later he posted that he had been in to the school and now thought they were awesome!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The worst bit about people like him, is they have kids!</p> -
Fucktards abound apparently .<br><br><a class="bbc_url" href="http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11550261">http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11550261</a><br><br>
One of the reasons I'm not on Facebook is I don't want people sending me their idiot theories like this , when you point out what a massive waste of brain synapses they are for buying into whatever conspiracy theory is going the rounds and why it is nonsense it must be a bit awkward when you meet them at a BBQ . <br><br>
That and I don't want the weirdo at school who liked to cut up roadkill knowing where I live. -

<p> </p>
<p>Covert peaker sounds wrong on so many levels!</p> -
<p>So my feelings on the voting goes like this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't want Red Peak due mainly because of the over-the-top "this is the peoples flag!!!!" nonsense (and because its just coloured triangles...seriously)</p>
<p>I don't want Lockwood red and blue mainly because I'm hoping to make some money off some conspiracy retards and get them to put their money where their mouth is and take a $20 bet that the flag hasn't already been chosen.</p>
<p>I don't want Koru just because it just doesn't look very good, other Koru designs I liked a lot more</p>
<p>So that leaves Lockwood blue & black and Air New Zealand fern</p>
