We have a uniform and when I first started working in NZ I thought wearing a uniform was terrible, like being at school again, but now I love it, don't have to think about what to wear, don't have to buy "work" clothes, nice and easy.

Apparently 10s of thousands protested in Tel Aviv last night demanding a hostage deal... Got quite violent and resulted in clashes with police.. a spokesperson for them also claimed that they'd burn the city down (or something to that effect) if they didn't accept the earlier peace agreement....

Re: Doctor Rassie Erasmus
The ABs 2011 - 2015 didn’t win 70% between world cups akin to Foster’s All Blacks. Boks should aim higher. They pretend their players are amongst the Jordan’s and Messi’s of world sport, but they just aren’t consistently good enough. But yes, Soc Med is awash with Saffer circle jerks. There’s tens ...
