    Rugby is a dangerous game here. Even for spectators.

    Come sit down beside me I said to myself
    And although it doesn't make sense
    I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
    And together I sat on the fence

    The government advice is that it is dangerously high in bacteria and should not be drunk.
    Once it is pasteurized there is little to no health benefits left in the milk.

    The unintended humour of bureaucracies

    Expand
    The crash that led to Eileen Farquer's exposure as a benefit fraud. Photo / Joel Ford


    Eighty-three-year-old Eileen Marie Farquer fleeced the system for quarter of a century, pocketing almost $215,000 in benefit payments.


    The frail-looking Te Puke pensioner managed to hide her offending for more than 25 years but her dark secret was finally uncovered after she drove into the path of a fully laden fuel tanker in March and ended up in hospital with serious injuries.

    "I went to see them and said 'look, I don't really want this money any more. [They said] have you got a job?' 'No.' By the time I'd finished talking to this idiot I was getting more money, he convinced me I needed it. He increased the benefit and gave me more.
    No wonder the benefit frauds that benefit agencies complain about endlessly become self-fulfilling prophesies.

    Not according to your FDA .

    Research shows no meaningful difference in the nutritional values of pasteurized and unpasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk contains low levels of the type of nonpathogenic bacteria that can cause food spoilage, so storing your pasteurized milk in the refrigerator is still important.
    On the other hand, unpasteurised milk can make you wish you had drank pasteurised milk.

    raw milk can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks to you and your family. According to an analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 1993 and 2006 more than 1500 people in the United States became sick from drinking raw milk or eating cheese made from raw milk. In addition, CDC reported that unpasteurized milk is 150 times more likely to cause foodborne illness and results in 13 times more hospitalizations than illnesses involving pasteurized dairy products.

    But I guess you also don't believe in global warming.

    Honestly, I think if you had introduced yourself someone would have wound up dead at some point.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    This guy has got the US authorities in a twirl.

    After the FBI trying to grab him in NZ and getting Megaupload taken offline, he's back as big and brash as ever.

    LATEST: Internet millionaire Kim Dotcom says his new and improved file storage site Mega.co.nz could not have been made without the "fresh start" he got after New Zealand and United States authorities raided his Auckland home and shut down his former business.


    After a successful site launch early this morning, exactly a year after his arrest on copyright piracy and racketeering charges, Dotcom said it was his goal to list the company on the New Zealand stock exchange.


    Early this morning Dotcom tweeted that the site had achieved 250,000 registrations and the servers were overloading but still functional.

    Oh jeez. Working closely with the dreary Brits?

    Almost makes you want to go back in history and have the French take over NZ.

    New Zealand and the United Kingdom will work closely together to confront "growing threats" to cyber security, Foreign Minister Murray McCully and his British counterpart announced today.
    Mr McCully and British Foreign Secretary William Hague released a joint statement on cyber security following bilateral talks at the beginning of Mr Hague's second visit to New Zealand.
    The statement says the two countries will work jointly, and with their allies, to develop a "vision for the future security of cyberspace and will work together to advance this through positive international engagement".
    Poms are useful as refugees from their own country. But not much else.

    NZ owes the UK nothing. In the 1970s, it almost destroyed our economy at the stroke of a pen. Nothing they now write should be taken seriously.

    Let them come here if they have enough cash they are willing to invest, know how to speak English, and are potty-trained. Just as we require of the Chinese.

    And can pass background checks. Americans will know how important background checks are.

    Here is something to remember, I passed your background checks? And you think I am crazy, so how hard can it really be?
