Orchidman?......Please....

shush

Tell me, you did vote for these, right?











They are awesome mate. :up:

orchidman

Nope.

I voted for the one that had a Tikka T3 Lite in 7mm08 and a dead deer on it.................

shush

Not this then eh?

This will not turn out well. The new flag, whatever it is, will be a disaster. While there is nothing wrong with the current flag, if they must make a change, and since Queen Elizabeth is the official head of state, replace the Union jack in the upper left corner with the royal cipher (E II R) or even the royal standard. All the submissions for a new flag so are whimsical and facetious at best, and sarcastic or even cynical at worst.

(Sigh) I really, Really, REALLY like the current NZ flag. You just don't change a national flag because it might look similar to the flag of that great big island to the West. There's a heap of history wrapped in the current flag, and that should deserve some respect. Sometimes I think the world is going nuts.

Our esteemed leader's pet project (don't worry, the next is 10 million on getting #€%£ pandas at the zoo because his wife thinks they're cute) and waste of 26 million dollars in referendum, not to worry though, last time I bothered looking we were 80-odd% in favour of the status quo, as it should be, everyone apart from a minority of "sexual intellectual" types are pissed of at the farce of it.

My goodness when will the madness stop. First here was the Confederate flag, now talk of changing the NZ flag.

What is next, the Union Jack being changed to what.........a Union Jackie or Jack-He/She/Him or It :roll2: :roll2:

Ah but what the heck, sometimes good things come in small packages.

You need to submit a toilet with dollars being flushed, or YHGTBFK black on white (you have got...)

The two flag votes will cost taxpayers about 26 million New Zealand dollars ($16 million).

You guys in NZ need a population distribution Control Board. Else you might risk what Hank Johnson said could happen to Guam...you need to keep your weight balanced or else....

The island of Tasmania is close.

The big one is a continent.

It's an island. For the record, all continents are islands. Islands are bodies of land surrounded by water, therefore all continents are also islands. It's SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll2:

Waaaaaaaaay back when we used to be one big happy family we were a huge contiguous land mass surrounded by water. A huge island. Then the Earth decided in it's infinite wisdom to break up into moving plates and break the big chunk of land apart. The 'children' went their separate ways, collided a few times, and we end up with the silly mess we have now. Continent, shmontinent; continents are still just big islands because they are completely surrounded by water! It's not only SCIENCE, it's psychosemantics! :tooth:

is·land - noun 1. a piece of land surrounded by water

If you are trying to explain that little Island to the west of NZ, what is it now, Shrimp on the Barbee or Rooville? something like that, those people need to watch out because if they all get on one side it might flip over, at least according to Hank Johnson, :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

It is surrounded by water. It is an island. A continent is just an island takin' on airs and pretending to be more important than it is due to size.

An iceberg is a mere conglomeration of ice cubes that hasn't had anyone have at it with an ice pick to break it into manageable bits to fit a whiskey glass. :roll2:

You can not say that. :yikes:

It was a Rehabilitation Island for the poor and needy.

Argue all you want about continents, islands and icebergs, but don't mess with Pluto - it's a planet and that's final - a no-debate item.

Using whiskey to refer to Scotch whisky can get you in trouble in Scotland. :devil:

No, no, nonononononono! I put ice cubes in a glass and pour a little Jack Daniels, or some of my Dayton Mountain Surprise over it. I normally drink either without ice, but use ice occasionally if the weather is hot; keeps the alcohol from vaporizing too fast. :tooth:

I don't like Scotch whiskey. Gives me a headache. I guess it may be one of those acquired tastes, and I never acquired it. I 'cut my teeth' on Old Crow and Four Roses because that's what the bootlegger sold to us high school kids. I don't like anything that gives me a headache the morning after when I've only had a couple of shots. Old Crow and Four Roses would give you a headache just smelling it! :roll2:
