It’s probably been fairly obvious for a while that I am a supporter of marriage equality. I have always viewed same-sex marriage as a cut and dry case of civil rights. I believe that marriage is a governmental institution, not one that belongs to the church. Marriage, in its many forms, pre-dates the church. And as…
DetailsSo, interesting story. As they were playing Monkey Wrench, Foo Fighter’s lead singer Dave Grohl fell off the stage…and broke his leg [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLWfLeHSZ-8&w=560&h=315] He then announced he would return after going to the hospital, however his band said they’d play a couple of songs “before they left” so it looked like what Grohl meant…
DetailsI began writing a post in March on Same-Sex Marriage and it’s relation to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. I have come back to the post on several occasions only to still be here two months later. I was inspired to write it after watching the movie Selma and I think there are…
DetailsUmmm…No. I could just leave it there, but let me explain. We are hearing cricket commentators, talk radio hosts, lounge-lizard commentators complaining that cricket has become a game for batsmen to the sake of the bowlers. This is rubbish. Sometimes a batter dominates a game, see Gayle 215, Warner 178, Villers 162* etc…sometimes a bowler…
DetailsSo there area couple of possibilities here with the “controversy” around Natalia Kills and her husband Willy Moon. I could go all ‘third form bitchy girl’ on her and point out that is she is looking for originality whilst producing tedious, benign, pablum…and I quote Sex, love, control, vanity Sex, love, control, vanity Sex, love,…
DetailsSo I’ve geeked out and had a look at the likely line-ups for the Quarters and Semis for #CWC15. In my predictions the only guess that I’m not so sure about is if England or Bangladesh will be there but either way they end up in the same place in the Quarters, to be knocked…
DetailsAbout a month ago I discovered The Walking Dead and have spent the past four weeks watching the first four and a half series and now I’ve caught up to where the series is at. With my overdose of TWD I have a few questions that I hope some other aficionados of the show may…
DetailsBy 4pm today New Zealand will be at war, not ‘possibly’, not ‘figuratively’ but literally at war and it will not be by consensus of the New Zealand Government. The National Party of New Zealand, under the Prime Minister will have decided to put our troops in harms way without the approval of the people…
DetailsI have had some dealings with people inside the new Paul Henry show of recent weeks along with some of the sales team at Mediaworks and I find it intriguing to see the nature in which they are ‘selling’ the new venture. It’s being spoken of as a Goliath of a show that is going to…
DetailsHello team, I’m back for 2015, been a busy few months for me and mine as we’ve moved to Dunedin, I am hoping to blog once or twice a week from the Promised Land and I look forward to your input in 2015 I love, love, love the idea of a commemorative coin for the 2015…
