    Elmo ,
    Riley is basically a decent chap but since the English gave them such a humiliating Rugby thrashing just a few weeks ao , the whole national psyche has slipped a considerable way . And this was on top of their old masters humiliating them at the rowing and sailing in the Olympics . The possums need time to re-group .
    A good way to judge the vitality and health of a country is to look at their comedians . They have never had one . But since Lenny Bruce , neither have you , unless you are going to be silly and suggest Texarsian , George Bush .

    Don't let one test win a decade and more let you get over-excited. It was your 7th win in 35 matches since 1905. That's over a hundred years of trying to achieve very little. You do worse than in your war with the French of the same name.

    Comedians? I am sure some of the Americans here would be familiar with the vastly successful "The Flight of the Concords", and Australians with John Clarke. Plenty of talent here, sunshine.

    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

    You said none. I gave you two, internationally renowned. Clarke is a Kiwi who migrated to OZ.

    What help? You just wanted to keep the French out of NZ. And, at the time we were not a "we".

    It was you who later came running to us to help you out in your imperial wars. Try not to have any more. We won't be interested. Think Iraq.

    Kim Dotcom has been all over Russia Today, making much more sense than the FBI and Obama's other rotweillers. Here he is in his version of Les Miserables. Hilary Clinton is to the right.



    He's toying with the US government. In an especially amusing way.

    Oh! Cary looks like one of your fellow Subjects is getting a littel upity! Better send the queen down to do a little $#@! slapping, so they once again know their place. I beleive a subject from the mother country should rate better that a subject from down under

    AIG gets benefit from $20 million pa sponsorship of the best sporting team on the planet.

    Insurance giant American International Group says it has already got business benefits from its sponsorship of the All Blacks.
    Chief executive of AIG Insurance NZ, Cris Knell, said the firm had got a number of leads since announcing its five-year deal in October.
    NZ just got shame from associating with AIG. Which one of the worst financial predators on earth.
