_Ed_ Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 That is also very true. I wonder if that has to happen for the experience to be fully authentic. If so, they should sell the buckets of juice with the Frujus. How else would you get a bucket of juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I wonder how Jo's liking her new job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistressMary Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 What is her new job? She's in... London, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I wonder how Jo's liking her new job. Um, only been two days but it feels okay so far. Lots to learn! And I'm working for an American company in their tax team, basically doing admin and eventually learning enough to help out with working out tax obligations for the people who either work in the UK from other parts of the world, or leave the UK to go work in Europe/Middle East/Africa. Basically I work with a bunch of tax analysts and accountants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Whenever I get downhearted about NZ politics, I can always look to South Carolina and feel better. Apparently they elected some unemployed guy in the Democrat primary just because his was the first name on the ballot! He hardly campaigned and has no credentials for the job. Nice one.

_Ed_ Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Turns out there's a Honduras footballer called Welcome. Here I was thinking the commentator was just being super friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I think there's a limit in terms of acceptable head tiltage whilst urinating. I just walked into the men's toilets at work and a guy's head was right back. He would have been staring at the ceiling, had his eyes been open. I found this to be a very uncomfortable situation, even though I positioned myself as far away as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 That's reassuring. I want to have a random piñata party. That would be fun. But possibly mildly dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistressMary Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 That would be the bees knees! I would attend! If I were in Aux and if I didn't have exams lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 What did you think? Nice pics btw Thanks! As for Lost... When watching it, I just felt sad for them the whole time. Then at the end, it would have been nicer if we got just a little more information about the island and potentially how each of their lives were before they died, for those who did surivie that is. E.g, how did Hurley and Ben get on with the island, etc. But otherwise it was ok, the explanation of that other world after they died was a bit simplistic, but I guess that was as far as they were willing to go, lol. What did youy think? Richard, I saw this the other day and thought you might appreciate it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmOOEuAwzdg Haha, that is too cute and one tolerant ram! :happy: :LOL: I noticed that awhile ago but didn't want to bring anybody down by mentioning it lol. The earlier titles to these pages had 'campaign' in them, did they not? I am unsure how to campaign also. Template letter and get different people to send it..? I am all for campaigning!! From my records, ahem, I see that we didn't get told about the tour dates until mid August... So we might be in for a bit more of a wait I want a moat. I want a boat.

JoBear Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Michelle with regards to Lost -- think it's all about the DVD release (gotta make more money) as there's a mini episode about Hurley and Ben. I am so glad it's the weekend. I really need to plan some trips so I have something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) So last night I went out drinking with my sister in Whangarei. It was an experience. I felt quite out of place wearing a long-sleeved shirt and fancy pants. Most people were in jeans and jandals. And by about 8pm, people were starting to fall over. Then a woman started hitting on my sister, and when I responded to her desperate "help!" looks, she gave me the evils for the rest of the night and said we had an "unnatural" relationship. There are lots of photos of me expressing my alarm, disapproval and disdain for the other patrons. I hope they find their way onto Facebook. The 9am bus back to Auckland was way, way too early. And the windy bits are no fun at all when you're unpleasantly hungover. Edited June 19, 2010 by _Ed_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Yeah, same. I'll be free for about a month after I hand my dissertation in on Friday. My friend has his last exam on the same day. That'll be cause for celebration. But I've got to finish it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Sadly not. I might get to if I do a similar topic for my Masters later in the year, but I'd quite like a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Fox Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 So does that come under History or Geography, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Politics actually, oddly enough. The movement is quite political - a huge number of groups within the Hawaiian movement (about 300, according to one source I've used) are competing against each other for public recognition and legitimacy.

Spy Fox Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I see. I'm still having trouble deciding what to do next year. I was going to do a BA/BSc, but I got told not to, because it's better to focus on just a few subjects, rather than all of the ones I wanted to do.

_Ed_ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 At least you're not permanently trapped in anything at uni. I changed majors four times in my first two years! You could always start out doing a BA/BSc, and if you're not comfortable doing both, you can easily drop the one you're not enjoying as much.
