A hoarde of cats set to rend and tear would be pretty vicious, too!

Hello all, in terms of the Crimes Act, do you think it is an “indecent act” - and therefere unlawful - were a woman, ora group of women to walk down the street topless -
August 18, 2006 at 5:43 pm
… Well, the police dont
see http://big-news.blogspot.com
August 18, 2006 at 5:50 pm
Sounds like more “can’t be arsed” policing from our defenders or law, order and money gathering.
August 18, 2006 at 6:06 pm
And yet a women covertly breast feeding a baby in a mall sends some people over the edge.
Evening all.
August 18, 2006 at 6:07 pm
Hi Murray, I saw your comment avout lunch at DPF’s, but was worried if I posted a reply, it might appear after the said date (next week sometime?)
August 18, 2006 at 6:11 pm
Question for the day:
There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one’s teeth, he successfully expresses himself to theshopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
August 18, 2006 at 6:11 pm
Think about it…
August 18, 2006 at 6:11 pm
keep thinking ….
August 18, 2006 at 6:12 pm
it shouldn’t hurt too much …
August 18, 2006 at 6:12 pm
and your answer is …
August 18, 2006 at 6:13 pm
He opens his mouth and says.”I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses”.
August 18, 2006 at 6:16 pm
Yeah anyway…
I’ll be in town on Monday but DPF will be… in an undisclosed location.
No doubt the lefties will be spinng like little mini turbines and abusing everyone else for existing at his site by the time he gets back.
August 18, 2006 at 6:17 pm
Yes this is a conservatives site Zen, we got it thanks.
If this was a leftie outfit we’d be abusing you for making fun of the diferently abled and claiming it was proof of Bush/Brash/Israel being evil.
August 18, 2006 at 6:26 pm
Hey all;
Simple Simon came in from greece
to say his piece
where he’s not allowed to swear
Murray allows such words
but Simons turds
are still unacceptable here
August 18, 2006 at 6:29 pm
But Rove rang me and told me that joke…
August 18, 2006 at 6:42 pm
Wow I must be doing something right at the moment with the amount of vitriol I have had this week.
August 18, 2006 at 6:49 pm
Yes if only we hook a free of them up to dynamos.
August 18, 2006 at 6:52 pm
Dave of Big News,
I don’t think a group of women walking down the street topless would be “indecent” as such. Yet, not many women would do so because we would not like the attention. The only women that would be up for it seem to be the occasional streaker and protester and of course the paid up porn women. Says it all, really.
August 18, 2006 at 7:13 pm
Evening all. When I was living in Hamburg, topless women were commonplace in summer along the banks of the Elbe and also in the city parks - after all, you don’t want to be turning up for your holiday in Greece or Spain with white titties (well, I’m assuming that anyway). Never saw any riding on the backs of motorbikes in the main shopping streets, mind you.
August 18, 2006 at 7:21 pm
Location location location, PM
Boobs on bikes is nothing more than a re-marketed “norks for dorks”
Howdy again folks
August 18, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Hey DPF, you are certainly hitting all the buttons this week. Well done.
August 18, 2006 at 7:29 pm
The boobs on bikes reminds me of that masturbatathon, where the organisers were surprised that the only woman that turned up was paid up porn star. Well, duh, is all I can say.
August 18, 2006 at 7:36 pm
I don’t see what the fuss is. A large collection of boobs and a big dick have been available for public viewing at the Auckland Council chambers since October 2004.
August 18, 2006 at 7:45 pm
Now then Aaron, it is only 7.45pm and too early for such vulgarity.
And I could probably out-smut you if I wanted to.
I think the big dick you mention is a bit limp actually and no use to anyone.
And modesty prevents me from describing what is ruining New Zealand.
You know, her in Mt Albert.
Mount Albert? I bet that’s the only mounting going on in her life!
Good evening everyone from a warm and wonderful Christchurch.
My farewell tour of NZ enters its third week.
August 18, 2006 at 7:48 pm
Howdy Darren. Flaccidity aside, Hubbard and his council majority has certainly had a poor month politically.
August 18, 2006 at 7:48 pm
And for the record, I’m sure you could out-smut me.
August 18, 2006 at 7:48 pm
Well how about that Simon Troll eh?
One of the best examples of the species since Millsy (remember him/her/it?).
Oh and good evening everyone.
August 18, 2006 at 7:53 pm
It’s almost tragic the way they keep trying to come back though. Pressing their moist little noses up against the glass and looking all round eyed and sad.
Makes you just want to put them in a sack and drop them in the river.
August 18, 2006 at 7:55 pm
I could understand why he was upset.
It just wasn’t a very effective way to deal with the issue.
The reality for all people in the spotlight is it can be very tough. But he’d do better to state his case politely and see who responds. I suspect he’s new to blogging. After all the Listener article and that post had been around since May. He probably found it in a Goggle Search.
It would be interesting to do a bit more background on the company scandal he mentioned and see what falls out of that.
August 18, 2006 at 7:55 pm
And set the sack on fire before you drop it….
August 18, 2006 at 7:59 pm
There was a large amount of anger there. I think he was lumping the commenters and author into a single entity, which seems to be common with people that are in reaction mode.
August 18, 2006 at 8:01 pm
Mmm… yeah sack/brick/river thing still holding the top slot for me.
August 18, 2006 at 8:01 pm
Not only anger, but vindictiveness. Maybe his funding has fallen through?
August 18, 2006 at 8:25 pm
Well, if his aim was to attempt to demonstrate that anyone casting doubt on his abilities as a legitimate inventor and sensible recipient of venture capital couldn’t be more wrong, I suspect the operation was not a success…
August 18, 2006 at 8:35 pm
Trolls? Those arent trolls. I have the real deal popping up at the moment, he posts pages-long diatribes about how the vast Zionist Conspiracy controls the world blah blah blah, says he’s not a Nazi and then accepts proudly being compared to Hitler. While I laugh hysterically at the hours he must put in putting this stuff together.
Now that’s a proper troll trait - too dim to realise how much everyone is laughing at them.
August 18, 2006 at 8:55 pm
The cops reckon the most infuriating perps are the ones caught red handed, buried under an avalanche of incriminating evidence and still maintain innocence. The common denominator is they are thick. It reminds me of leftist trolls.
August 18, 2006 at 8:57 pm
You sure it’s not just that someone subscribed you to the BBC news room there DSD?
Sounds like their work.
August 18, 2006 at 9:09 pm
How big is your sack? Would it fit tv3 as well as the beeb?
August 18, 2006 at 9:10 pm
Thats a pretty personal question there george!
August 18, 2006 at 9:15 pm
trust the bloody navy!
August 18, 2006 at 9:19 pm
Good comment Murray
BTW loved the post about Islamophobia.
Guess I must qualify too.
And Lucyna it is only over the past year I have discovered blogs like Sir Humphreys , LGF, and Murray’s sites and others that I have learnt much about Islam.
The Brussels Journal has good postings too and the Gates of Vienna.
I am now of the view that if the muslims in the west don’t change their ways then repatriation to their country of origin is the only solution.
There is no way Europe, the US, Australia and others should ever have their own cultures threatened and supplanted by sharia law.
If for example, if that means some years down the track that Britain has to expel a couple of million muslim immigrants for its own survival, then so be it.
While many immigrants offer much to their new countries- and I am an immigrant here myself- I see no/little benefit from muslim immigration anywhere.
Now, I am in a cybercafe and I was going to attach a hundred or so photos I have taken for various magazines I am freelancing for. But to save time, I have put them on a disk which i will post.
I have been interviewing more chefs and visiting more cafes and restaurants.
This week’s visits included a lovely cafe at Tauranga Bay near Westport, the Station House by Lake Brunner does an excellent pie and mash, the Malabar in Hanmer is a fine blend of kiwi-food and Asian, and Santorini, a Greek restaurant in Christchurch is an old favourite.

The spring is sprung!
The winds have started here
August 18, 2006 at 9:27 pm
Yes, if you’re talking the weather, it is warm in chch too, Oswald.
I am heading back to the motel and will get changed and have a couple of drinks out on the town later.
I might not need a coat.
Good evening everyone!!
August 18, 2006 at 9:32 pm
Trees are blossoming, daffodils are out nad the wind is blowing like mad.
Definitly spring.
Hopefully the mud will start drying out!
August 18, 2006 at 9:43 pm
Here’s to dry mud. Soccer season is nearly over, too. At least washing won’t be such a trial soon.
See you around, Darren, if you’re still around to see this message.
DangerouslySubversiveDad, that sounds like one heck of a troll you’ve got there. Ours isn’t really a troll, like you say. He’s more like a psychopath with an obessession with us. Most disconcerting.
August 18, 2006 at 9:43 pm
Brace youselves, its hosing down in Central. Spent the first part of week mustering stupid merinos [who are dropping already] with a dog I would like to drop over a bluff. Im getting too old for these acts in this climate.
August 18, 2006 at 9:46 pm
Just watched another episode of 24. Jack Bauer saved the day, with 12 hours to go. Unless something happened in the last 3 minutes of the show?
August 18, 2006 at 10:10 pm
i’m here, if you care.
August 18, 2006 at 10:22 pm
Zen, in the last 3 minutes a lot happened. The baddies got the cannisters and killed the goodie. Then the baddie phoned Walt whatshisface and told him they had the gas and America was ‘in for it’. Then they showed the four screens thing. Oh, it’s very exciting!
Go Jack go. Go Jack go.
August 18, 2006 at 10:24 pm
Greetings Gooner. hows life and stuff?
August 18, 2006 at 10:33 pm
Not bad. Busy weekend ahead of me with the ACT Northcote AGM. A few things to discuss like getting more party votes next time! Oh yeah, and the local body elections next year. I trust fatherhood is keeping you fascinated?
August 18, 2006 at 11:04 pm
Boy, if you think that’s exciting you won’t be able to handle episode 24. My mouth dropped open when the XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX the XXXXXXX away during XXXXXXX XXXXXXX.
Can’t wait for Series 6!
August 18, 2006 at 11:09 pm
Bugger. Have to watch next week then. Does he ever save the world with an episode to spare? Does the man ever sleep? What about the upcoming movie? Is it going to be called “3 hours 20″ ?
I finally read the Boobs on Bike Thread. Bloody hell. (Can I use such strong language on this blog?) 147 comments now - ok I added 2, but still! That’s a DD response.
August 18, 2006 at 11:21 pm
I can’t get enough of 24 Zen and want to watch 2 hours of it so I might email Keifer and ask him to rename it “48″.
As for B on B - yes 147. But it’s turnd into a mud wresling competition between AJ, Logix, & Redbaiter. Lucyna is trying to be the ref but is getting the Andrew Johns treatment. I might make it 148. What the hell!
August 19, 2006 at 12:00 am
I’m backing Redbaiter,if for no other reason that I dislike Logix.
He’s both arrogant and rather naive at the same time.
August 19, 2006 at 2:48 pm
I never warmed to 24.
Maybe I should give it another go.
I saw the West Wing last night before going out.
I enjoyed that.
Hotel Babylon was fun this week.
And I quite enjoy those conmen in London that TV1 shows on a Thursday at 9-30pm.
