<p>It's amazing we ever got anywhere on family trips when we were kids. We always stopped there on our way north and it's not even an hour from Hastings. </p>

<p>Rugby club rooms were the best though. Same as pub, raspberry and lemonade/chips, but you got to play with a bunch of your rugby mates at the same time.</p> -

<p>Aucklandwarlord will confirm but I'm pretty certain this is precisely the sort of shit that would have many cops throwing their hands up and perfing at the sheer idiocy of the human race......</p>

<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">A local child is said to be "disappointed" at the complete lack of wheels on her newly-purchased brown toy car. "My mum took a photograph of it (see below) next to my favourite green car. Compared to my favourite green toy car, this one hardly moves at all" said little Erin Speedy. "I have to push it and push it but it hardly even zooms along the floor at all." </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Ms Speedy revisited the toy store to inform a sales clerk that "my new toy car leaves this funny little sludgy oily trail and doesn't appear to have any wheels." Their reply? "That's because it's leaking pretend transmission fluid. Keep pushing it around the floor, shithead."</span></span></p>

<p>Grant is a really nice bloke, she on the other hand is exactly as you'd think: self centred, narcissistic and a bit pathetic really. Her "tribute" to Jonah article ( which as you probably remember was a story all about her in which Jonah featured briefly at the end ) says everything about her and there's something very sad about a 50 something radio "personality" swanning all over 20 something singing stars on the radio.</p>

<p>with her face like that, i am surprised Grant wasn't the one drinking himself into oblivion. Or at least until she looked good. </p>
