Flag
-
<p>Can't wait for this process to be over, so much bs...although I suspect if somehow the proposed flag gets through there will be more wailing and gnashing than if the current one remains.<br><br>
Tv 1 also need a kick up the arse talking about 'Keys pet project', they also had a vexologist on and he said the fern has too many fronds coming from it and it must be able to be drawn by a 5 year old.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>He did say one positive I guess, in that flags should be easily distinguishable from distance, which the NZ/Aus flag isn't always (although I've never put much weight into this part of the debate)<br><br>
I wish they had asked the vexologist what qualifications he had.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Then the next story they went with they talked about how John Key was throwing money at looking for oil.</p> -

<br><p>Cracks me up when leftards claim our right wing media is against them when they just report stuff like Littles idiot behaviour last week , compare that to TRs quote or what Katie Bradford came out with in the last election. There's no way a five year old could draw the vexillologist flag or is theirs exempt ?</p> -

<p>Yes you should have! You could have fed a carrot to a horse! :)</p>

<p>There is a hair dresser in lil ole Hinners as well.</p>

<p>Not much to it apart from the Primary School and the Rugby Club.</p> -
<p>And an indoor cricket arena?</p>
-
<p>I don't know. It kind of rings a bell. I think there maybe one of those indoor Netball/Cricket halls?</p>

<p>Unless you are telling me rather than asking?</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Just a stones throw from Hobbiton too. (Which I have never been to but have heard it is worth the tour)</p> -
<p>I was asking at is I seem to remember driving past it a few times.. so I checked and now I am telling you</p>

Any 5 yo can draw a fern: draw a line with other lines coming off it. Close enough. Ask them to draw a union jack properly ... reckon you'd get a criss cross in a rectangle. Next to impossible to get the proportions of the various crosses of the various saints and their overlaps etc etc. And how many points would you get on the stars? Stoopid argument. -
<p>That's just the stupidest argument I've ever heard, and there's been some fucking stupid ones floating around.</p>

And you are from the Waikato? Next thing you'll be saying is that you haven't heard of Huntly brick. -

Ha ha<br><br>
Our house being in Hinuera is made of Hinuera stone...<br><br>
OR SO I THOUGHT!!<br><br>
just noticed last week that it is faux Hinuera stone. <br><br>
Feel like such a dick for not noticing it before. <br><br>
So in the 70's when the stone was cheap as chips our house was bricked with something cheaper.
Awesome!!!
