FIGHTING TALK – A January Blockbuster

Lyndon Hood - relativist, Lower Hutt

There've been earthquakes lately, but none of them have given me the sense that the walls were about to collapse.
That happened when I discovered that I'm related to Aaron Bhatnagar.
Explosions, flames, running for cover, the lot.

Tom Goulter - Flathunter - Wellington

At primary school, my teachers had two goals, and I'm not sure which was the more urgent one: the molding of me into a prosperous, healthy contributing member of society, or the scaring the living shit out of me by all means necessary. I think it was at least 50/50.

When they start cracking down on people who complain about the censors, it's time to make some noise.
There is a number commonly cited with regard to Internet censorship offenses in New Zealand.

Matt Nippert - dearly departed, Auckland
Monday, January 17, 2005
At the end of 2003, I resolved not to be late. To eat better, drink less, love more and sneer only rarely. There was talk of cutting my hair.
And, as with all such silly pledges, I broke them all. As I wrote in the New Year issue of the Listener on how to quit smoking; I've given up giving up. There are quitters, there are failures, and then there are failed quitters.
