  1. No real idea so just a guess..Thornton Park used to operate out of Longburn by one of the Chittick family..
  2. Errol Brown frontman for the soul group HOT CHOCOLATE has died in The Bahamas aged 71.The cause has been given as liver cancer. Hot Chocolate had hits withYOU SEXY THING,SO YOU WIN AGAIN,BROTHER LOUIE,EMMA, and my favourite IT STARTED WITH A KISS. They shoud have recorded a sequel to It started with a kiss and called it'''' Doesn't always end in bliss''''from my experience anyway.
  3. Biggest regrets the defendant in this case has. 1) not being a promising rugby player 2)not being contrite and remorseful(works every time) 3)not being a humble young man. 4)not growing in maturity since the incident took place 5)not having a Knight write a reference for me He know better next time.
  4. Okay kids your words to remember this week are CONTRITE &REMORSEFUL but they must only be said in front of a judge. Now off you go into the playground and don;t forget to be HUMBLE YOUNG MEN while you beat shit out of your friends. Fancy having a person standing up for you who just happened to be Knighted for his work in the field of mental health say""grown in maturity since the fight. John Kirwan you should be bloody ashamed of yourself.
  5. One day you will be sitting around drinking and reminsceing and someone will say''i wonder what ever happened to so and so who starred in whatever''and you will be able to say ''from memory they passed away'' 'The only reason i mention any of these passings is because if you had to rely on the NZ media for anything apart from an AllBlack passing wind you would know nothing.
  6. Beerwithduncan,it is with a fair degree of consternation that i see you have made a judgement on this poor soul before you have been presented with all the evidence. As you are aware we in NZ are bleesed with a great justice system,one that is very fair. I urge you to consider all the facts before sentencing this chap to a life time of cruelty and deprevation within our prison cell and i ask you to ponder the following questions. Was he born into a welcolming enviroment. Was he sent to school each day with a kiss and a full belly. Was he welcomed home each afternoon by a loving family. Was he read a story each night and tucked into a warm bed. was he given a cell phone and a play station. Was he treated kindly by prospective employers Was he encouraged to further his education afterleaving school. Was his benefit large enough to cover the odd ciggie and drop of booze. Was he rejected by good looking girls. These questions and many more must be answered before any of us can pass judgement. Seriously my only concern is how wet is the bus ticket going to be.
  7. Grace Lee Whitney who starred in the first 8 episodes of the original STAR TREK series has died in California at the age of 85. She plaed the part of YEOMAN JANICE RAND ,Captain Kirks assistant.She was written out after 8 episodes and in her autobiography published in 1998 she said her acting career was largely over after that.. She also suffered from addictions,and when she went public her good friend zzznard Nimoy(mr spock) she reprised her character in STAR TREK..THE MOTION PICTURE,STAR TREK 111 STAR TREK 1V and STAR TREK V1. Her son said she wanted to be remembered as an addiction survivor as opposed to a Star Trek actoer.
  8. One of the 20th centuries greatest ballerinas,MAYA PLISETSKAYA has died in Munich aged 89.. She endured great hardship in her early life in communist Russia and still made it. Her father was killed in one of Stalins purges and her mum along with her brother were forced into a labor camp until they were exiled to Kazakhstan. She was taken in by her uncle and auntie so that she would not be sent to an orphanage reserved for enemies of the people. In 1949 she performed at Stalins 70th birthday and the guests included Mao Zedong. It wasn't until 1989 that she was told who had killed herfather and exiled her mother and brother. Despite all this she performed until her late 60s and was considered to be the embodiement of the Bolshoi ballet.a theatre that she considered to be thae best in the world because of the type of floor.
  9. Yesterdays NZ Herald had an article in it regarding car prices in Aus.They gave an example of a brand new car costing 33k in Aus but 43k in NZ.It then went on to list the reasons for it.Sounded like a load of crap to me. This morning i recieved a call from an elderly relativeasking if i could look up prices of a Kia Rio on the net, WOW some of the prices asked by sellers {private &dealers}of 2/3 year old Rio's were more than the asking price of a new car.. We certainly appear to be getting ripped off ..
  10. Top trainer for sure.My two questions would be why they started in the LKS in Melbourne after the cup and her throwing the toys out of the cot when not promoted.
  11. Listed on Trade Me TUDOR FARM ,18.5 ACRES,40 LOOSE BOXES.ACROSS ROAD FROM WOODVILLE RACECOURSE. Is this another trainer leaving woodville or is the property no longer used for racing purposes.?
  12. Donna is still training other horses for us ,however if Rising Romance fires up for Hayes,they'll be gone to.
  13. BEN E KING the singer of Stand by Me has died aged 76.He also sang Spanish harlem and with the DRIFTERS sang Save the last dance for me ,there goes my baby and many more. He was born Benjamin Earl Nelson.STAND BY ME WAS the most played song in US radio history of the 20th century. He once said""i still think my career was accidental.Ididn't pusue it.I feel kike i'm cheating sometimes""
  14. There are plenty but they just give everybody the one fingered salute.and rightly so. When in Rome........................

  16. Calvin Peete the most successfull African American golfer on the PGA before Tiger[rooter}Woods has died aged 71. He won 12 tournaments during his career and also played in 2 Ryder Cup Teams.
  17. I am afraid that our justice system has a lot of history in this area
  18. Maybe he's got a sick family member in a resthome who hasn't been told about it yet.or maybe by identifying him we may also be able to identify his scumbag family or maybe he could be related to a prominent sportsman but whatever the reason it sucks.
  19. Jack Ely lead singer of the KINGSMEN has died aged 71.The Kingsmen had a big hit with LOUIE LOUIE in 1963. and shortly afterwards disbanded. The song came to the attention of J.Edgar Hoover of the FBI because they couldn't decipher the words and thought that they were swearing. Jack Ely said that he was yelling rather than singing so he could be heard over the band and also he was wearing braces.. There have been over 1600 versions of the song recorded by artists such as Otis Redding,The Troggs,Paul Revere and the Raiders and believe it or not Motorhead to name a few. It was also named by Rolling Stone as one of the 40 songs that changed the world. Stick that in your pipe HOOVER and suck it up big time.
  20. Time to get rid of parole,home detention and gps monitoring. Leave them in jail then we will know exactly where they are and if they want to commit a crime well then at least it will be against another dirty scumbag.
  21. Any chance of this trial being transferred to Indonesia.
  22. Suzanne Crough who played Tracey,the younger daughter in the PARTRIDGE FAMILY has died at her home in Nevada aged 52. In the show she provided backup vocals and played the Tambourine..

He also wrote the book TRIAL which was made into a movie starring Glenn Ford. His brother Frank was Robert Kennedy's Presidential campaign press secretary.
  23. If he does find one you can betcha it won't be from within the Racing fraternity,they are all to busy feathering their own nests and trying to improve their boot licking skills.
  24. Just remember''it ain't over till the FAT MAN SINGS''
  25. Just finished reading an interview of Paul Weller(founder of Jam and Style Council) .He says that their was a period in his life when the singer ''''completley disappeared up my own arse''''What a great description .
