Quiz: Update on the great quizzers. Another first to the team last week although I must mention that a couple of the better teams were missing. Friends from Upper Hutt were down on Saturday night and we discussed going with them to the Tuesday Quiz at Upper Hutt.
Singing the anthem: I have probably said it before but it annoys me that people go on about the AB's not singing the anthem. They are rugby players not singers. As Anton Oliver has said the Welsh singing better than us hasn't helped them beat us since 1953 - over 60 years. They can win the singing I will take winning the match.
Majority decision: The law has now been changed to a majority of 11-1 in juries. And the next day the very first majority result was required. About time as it is crazy that one idiot can defeat the course of justice. As it happened it was 10-1 as one juror had been discharged on health grounds. From the news it seemed a starightforward case of fraud on Trade Me where he was selling stamps that differed from the promised and photographed articles. Pretty obvioius he was guilty as a lot of complaints even from Australia and evidence was produced showing what he promised and what he sold.
SeniorNet: The move went well and the larger space is great.
Whacko Jacko: Can't even watch the morning TV news as all channels are showing the Jackson funeral. This is whacko - was he that important??
Spock, a little irritated at the commotion over a death, summed it up when he said 'you humans find it harder to understand the death of one than the death of millions'."
