The silver fern motif should bisect the flag diagonally. The southern cross motif does not need to stay in my opinion.

I quite like the blue and black. Although there would be jokes about our women wearing our national colours

That guy in leather, Mario Queen of the Circus, has an awesome show and I'd recommend anyone in Canterbury who hasn't seen it get down to one of his shows today or tomorrow before the festival ends.

I honestly don't understand what they are thinking with this. Do they even understand how much of a knife edge test cricket is in some of the smaller places such as NZ and the West Indies? Or even Pakistan? This will pretty much doom the sport to destruction in this country. Sooner or later NZ will...

This "give way to the right" only applies if it's a roundabout with four exits. If it's a roundabout with three exits and there are drivers entering at opposing exits such as in this example, then there is no need to give way. They can both enter. Rubbish, the same rules apply to mini roundabout as...

What is "burst" in photography terms? As in maximum burst (in the context of image quality / number of pictures) yes in fps and lenght (in s) nothing to do with quality Isn't it to do with how many pictures you can take at max fps before the buffer in the camera fills up and slows down your shootin...

I'd like to propose a partial solution: 1. We regularize arrivals by boat, by licensing safe carriers, who because they work inside the law, can charge much less then people smugglers. 2. Thus we use the market to put people smugglers out of business. 3. We put all new arrivals to work in the commu...

Manchester Street was a sight to behold, not necessarily in the good sense. It was on the quickest route home for me so on a cold Winters night you can see why I took it. Seeing all those ladies out in the freezing weather wasn't nice, nor was seeing them out at 6.30am on a Monday morning in your w...

Mu understanding is that human beings do not taste nice to a shark, when they attack they are mistaking us for something delicious. Which we are not, to sharks, anyway. Always mystifies me how they know that. Granted we are not traditional prey so they may not recognise us as food straight away (un...

Spending anything on this doesn't make sense. It's public hysteria, not a real public threat.

The whole state is one long beach, that's not a feasible way to keep them out

Here's a nice contrast to your previous pictures

I'm not sure giants would be enough to be honest.

There's a remastered HD version of Fable coming out soon. Not sure whether to get it, when I got Halo Anniversary edition it was a bit of a let down. Going back to old gameplay engines isn't always good.

The show is rigged.

Eggheads always get questions where the answer is deducible. And the amount of times where it's gone to sudden death and the Eggheads question is bloody obvious

Anyone use one of these

Cairns is making an awful lot of noise about this for something which is apparently baseless. If he truly felt he had nothing to worry about with these accusations then he would have been better off just dismissing them as such and refraining from further comment. He's the one stirring this teacup n...

I rewatched the first one the other day and finally realised why the first 90 mins is so terrible. It's just a poorly made film. The scenes and locations don't knit together, there's no sense of a real journey like there was in FotR. The landscape changes are so random you have no idea where they ar...

It's not The Hobbit the movie

It's a three part prequel to LoTR including the events of The Hobbit and the prelude to the rise of Sauron from the appendices of LoTR and other works of Tolkien.

Understand it. Get over it. Relax and enjoy it (or not)

If I were to pick up reading from where the last seires ended, which book should I purchase? Will I be able to get back in the swing of things handy enough? The entire third season of the show is covered in Book Three, A Storm of Swords, although the book goes on a bit further so there will be spoi...

A f**king rollercoaster of emotion. Before we started I was just waiting for the absolute hammering we were about to get, tinged with the usual blind hope/optimism. Then hope started building, the it kept going, and kept going, up, up, up. Then a slow decline. Steely resolve, knowing we could still...

So what you're saying Jeff is that the scrum is no longer a restart but a means to win penalties in the ref lottery? I guess that's the point of this thread. The scrum has become more important than it needs to be because it's such a poorly managed set piece with a high rate of failure and is poorly...

It must be hard for the GG to be formally stating her support for the Lib's policies. Ceremonially of course she supports the Government position. I wonder what personal views she holds.

Anyone watching the Opening of Parliament on APAC? No? Just me? Ok.

Who the hell knew there was such a position as the Usher of the Black Rod. And why did she speak in a fake "Julie Andrews" accent?

Was that your first trip back post-quake Guy?

Tugs the heart strings doesn't it.

Not so bad now though, the city's actually quite vibrant these days. I'm looking forward to going back.

That's quite possibly the least funny thing I've ever read and I've been reading BiV's posts for years.

Oh, how many seasons do they reckon this going to run for? Presumably we're looking at at least 13 of them, given that seasons two and three only cover one book? Incidentally, if I'm going to read the books is there a "chronological" version? As far as I am aware books 4&5 occur at the same time, a...

The clues have already been given; the rise of the white walkers, the prophecy of the Red God's "chosen one" which was wrongly claimed to be Stannis by Melisandre in the opening of Season 2, the recurrence of the dragons...

Watched episode 9 season 3. I was genuinely shocked, dismayed and angry. I couldn't help but go to wiki for a quick summary of the books and the author can go fudge himself. He's trying so hard to avoid being cliche and predictable that he becomes his own cliche and is predictable. He has literally...

I've never had any issue with how Jackson portrayed any creature or race in LotR or The Hobbit. I just don't know why he (or the character designer) would deviate from Tolkien's original design. Does anyone know if Alan Lee and John Howe are designers for the Hobbit films? Anyway, Beorn is Old Engl...

And not as fat.

I always imagined Beorn to be an absolute mountain of a man who was totally ripped and covered in curly hair.
Like a Samson character.

But hairier
