yeah, me either.

Though i do get up at 6.30 or earlier every day.

Why couldn't I just live somewhere closer to work?

Sp0nge 7th August 2008 08:48

i slept in until 6:15am today :D

...anytime after 6:00am is fine by me,
but occasionally the kids wake me before then.

half an hour can make a lot of difference to your day.

Weird, I thought she dropped off the face of the Earth at the end of the 80's after 'Too Many Walls'.

Ugh. Kids. 8am is early for me at the moment. It rocks.

anyone know the speed limit on a footpath? theres a guy zipping about on a segway HT at max speed (12.5Mile an hour according to the FAQ, which is a hair over 20 km hour)

Helious 7th August 2008 11:44

there isn't a speed limit on a footpath

what can do 100kph on a footpath that's allowed to be there?

there's no human, bike or segway that can do that. so what you're saying is redundant!

<--- just won at the internet

CCS 7th August 2008 12:13

Ja, Heliarse just won :p

But he's right - I'm not sure that the Segway should legally be on the footpath. Fuck knows if it can legally be on the road either, but I suppose it's like cycles on the road.

Next time you see the guy hooning down the footpath, you'll have to lean out the window and call "Get off the footpath you bloody fucken apple mac fag boy racer segway bastard!"

With a bit of luck, he'll be so surprised that he'll lose concentration and crash into a lamp post. Haha!

And if he decides to start using the road yell out "Get off the road you bloody fucken apple mac fag boy racer segway bastard!"

That'll teach him for inconveniencing you by his unconventional methods

BloodDonor 7th August 2008 12:28

hmm http://www.segway.co.nz/nzlaw.aspx and http://www.segway.co.nz/where.aspx make interesting reading... basically theyre classed as mobility devices, and can be used on the footpath

its not the fact that he has one, i couldnt care less... its that hes zooming about @ 20k's past shops, parked cars, kids, etc

Reformed_Quint 7th August 2008 12:42

Old people do it as well in their mobility scooters. Fuckers.

And then nudge the bastard in the back of the Segway.

Trust those dirty fucks to find a loophole.

Indeed, although one of the fact sheets mentioned on the Segway site says:
Quote:

When on the footpath, you must not travel at a speed that endangers others.
So you're still within your rights to call him a bloody fucken bastard if he's going too fast!

Reformed_Quint 7th August 2008 15:50

Just got a email from the flattie:

'Hey, do you remember that stuff in the bottle that you couldn't figure out so we ended up eating, did that happen?'

Yes, Yes it did.

Found misc. bottle with dropper, at first thought it was massage oil, rubbed it into the skin, def not massage oil, next smelt it, Definatly not perfume, so then we tasted it, Not eddible, gave up.

Why would you drink something that you first thought was massage oil, thats not right :(

Too much.

cEvin 7th August 2008 15:55

How much does P cost these days anyway?

StN 7th August 2008 15:59

Flattie can't remember if it happened? Woke up with a sore botty?




Liquid rohypnol...

Yeah. I think it was after I heard Britney's "Toxic" and thought to myself "fuck that's an awesome song, who wrote that" and went and looked it up -- then I found it was Cathy Dennis, which didn't ring any bells, so I looked her up, and ended up going "What, the D-Mob chick?"

According to Wikipedia she's one of the richest women in Britain now. Writing #1 hits must pay off.

CCS 7th August 2008 16:10

Did you see that BBC doco where they strapped a camera to the end of a guy's wang and filmed him having sex with his wife?


It was *not* hot.

CCS 7th August 2008 16:30

Only cos she was ugly, right?

leadinjector 7th August 2008 16:35

i saw one of those orange people the other day. It was a guy. It's like they're 24/7 Blue Man Group... except orange.

Also saw a guy in his 50's or 60's walking down View Rd with a huuuge beard down to his stomach wearing a plastic Viking helmet. Walking like he was off to do his shopping or something. Love this place.

If it's motorised, on a footpath, and not a lawnmover or a wheelchair, then there's a problem.

"It was definitely Manila. I asked her where she was and she said 'Manila in the Philippines'." The woman then transferred him to the police communications centre in Christchurch, Mr Mason said.

Telecom spokesman Ian Bonnar said the company traced the call and it had "absolutely, categorically" gone to the Christchurch call centre about 2.30am.
sounds like someone had enough of people not understanding their accent and thought it'd be funny to say they were in manilla

BathTub 9th August 2008 13:34

More likely the guy was drunk and decided to make something of it. You don't give address details to the telecom operators, you just answer the question "Fire, Ambulance or Police?"

crocos 9th August 2008 14:43

Ha ha ha! Noses on dowels!

MadMax 9th August 2008 20:11

i get very suspicious of finance companies that are running advertising campaigns.

Yeeeeah nothing about that story really rang true. Good on Stuff or which ever INL paper ran it on their fact checking there... Of course "OMG TLELCOMZ OUTSOURCING TO MANILLA VOTE FOR NATIONAL!!1" is a much more compelling headline...

Campaigners for the blind want eco-friendly hybrid cars to come with a health warning.

The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind shares overseas fears that blind pedestrians could be in danger because the cars, which run on petrol and electricity, are almost silent.
WTF is a warning label going to do?

Jonas Undrawing 10th August 2008 12:03

maybe the health warning is an amp + speaker arrangement that pipes loud car engine noises while moving, and a cartoon squeaky brakes sound when it comes to a stop.
