    @MN5
    I got a parking ticket in Hamilton once. I think it was $10...
    I felt cheated. You can't even raise the energy to abuse a warden for $10.

    Is this Alpha thing just a justification for acting like an arsehole in public?

    Sure sounds like it.

    Oh god. I see the 'news' is creaming its panties over McCaws wedding this weekend.
    They have possibly blown their load early though as it may be difficult to top this line in the Herald...

    "Across the grove of olives, from which the venue draws its name, a group of young women - some with blonde hair - sat in the sun."

    And look at the herald getting owned on twitter for it

    My favourite so far

    @nzherald Well you guys should know - you've been shamelessly stalking the poor bastards for weeks

    I got a ticket in W(h)anganui - I believe that is the correct spelling these days - $12. It would have cost me more for the pay and display. Almost shook the wardens hand, but on principle alone I complained / abused, just seemed the right thing to do.

    When I lived in Sydney the parking fees were extortionate and I pulled into to do a job one morning and another pulled up behind me and saw me about to put some money in the meter, he told me not to bother and got a bunch of different sized washers and a hammer and bashed a washer into every coin slot so it was unable to be used . Judging by the fact he had a pre written note in his glove box explaining why he couldn't pay for parking that he put on his dash for the warden to see I'd say this was a pretty regular thing for him.

    God bless that man.

    @Crucial I have refrained from clicking for that reason - knowing they would be thrashing wankfests. Especially when I saw one headline that said something along the lines of 'our royal wedding'.

    Jesus fuck.

    I can quite unequivocally say I did not gear up for the wedding of the year. I suspect I'm not alone in that regard.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest she wore a wedding dress. Possibly white.

    @No-Quarter do you think Gemma will penalise Richie for coming in from the wrong side tonight?

    @jegga if Richie still has the old magic she won't even know what happened until it's too late.

    @MN5 Yet again I think they are wildly overestimating the fucks that people might give about this event. Not to mention any article that claims EVERY SINGLE PERSON feels the same about something is moronic on a major level.

    Also, the stalking of the venue and peeping over fence reporting is just gross.

    What the fuck is wrong with the herald? I can only assume all the men are away on holiday still and its been run by Chicks who spend too much time watching the TLC Channel on Sky. The Wedding has been leading their website/Mobile for the past week or so. Every fucking day.

    What's wrong with the Herald is that it stopped being a newspaper five years ago...

    This . It's a joke in a lot of respects , trying to merge with stuff reminds me of the last dying gasps of the British auto industry when a bunch of shitty companies years behind the Japanese merged into one giant clusterfuck that now exists effectively in china India and germany.

    We could post something on facebook and twitter and they could quote it. Thus it becomes a story.
