Sex Scandels

in UK, a couple of decades ago was dozens (true) of Tory MPs , who were found to be sexual deviants .

It may be better to stick to Labour.

Also , as I live down in the South Pacific, east of Australia, I have no idea what / who Scat and BDSM are.

Could someone enlighten me, in rest period between falling over laughing.

A Hacker?

I have heard that Hacker is NOT a criminal type but a tinkerer who tweaks computer programs etc. to make them run better, faster and all that.

The term Cracker is supposed to be used for the malicious , criminal scum like this new employee of our beloved Telecom.

Mr. Kundra

was an adult when he commited the crime (yes-crime of theft) .

It would be more appropriate for him to be given a position in the Prison Service ( or whatever they call it these days)

He is however much less of a criminal than the depraved christian waremonger George Bush.

Getting away from the crowds of Enlish

Fifty years ago I moved into a new house in a town in New Zealand and a Pom moved in next door.

He said that he had moved 12,000 miles to get away from Poms and he had ended up surrounded by them.

True , lots of Poms and Dutchmen left Europe for NZ , as Europe looked like a shit heap at that time, due to Adolf.

Mr Anon.cowerard,

You appear to be critical of Ubuntu from a distance, talking about needing to use a command line

It is much the same as Windows XP, you know that it has a command iine don't you.

It is just above the Start button you use to shut down

You are only about 4/5 years out of date

Peace and Joy to you.

The Armed Forces fight each other

It has always been that way, but fortunately in WW2 , the Germans and the Japanese were far worse at their inter service rivalry .

The Japs especially , the Navy and the Army could barely bring themselves to speak to each other.

It gave us a great advantage, non co-operation caused cockups that we managed to avoid.

It is sad that your services now seem to be trying to strangle each other.

They are supposed to be on the same side.

What about Passports

I assume that crew who fly beyond UK borders ,will have passports with them for when they have stop overs , for R&R.

Why wouldn't that be good enough?

The crew who fly within UK , will be likely to have a Passport for holidays.

Another ID card is not necessary as newer passports are supposed to have security features to prevent forgery etc.

Hope you can find a politician or two with common sense.

I have seen people sketching and painting buildings in my town.

Could be useful for planning burglary or bomb planting .

Next time I should tell the coppers, however as they are not paranoid like your lot, I think they might tell me to bugger off.

My experience , so far with police , is a happy one.

Found them most helpful .

It seems in the country alleged to be the cradle of citizens rights ,that you can't say the same.

What did you do on Emergency Services day?

elderlybloke
Happy

NZ has 111

for emergency , police, fire, ambulance .

Gets answered in some call centre hundreds of miles away and they can't understand the names of local streets or country roads.

Like Whakaangiangi Road or Waiomatatini Road.

When I need the coppers I ring the local Station, get a much faster response ,

We do seem to have it easy, compared with whatever system you are supposed to use.

How often do you get through to the emergency service you need ?

You Poms

He did have enough good sense to stay well away from the real shooting in WW2 ,serving bravely in Hollywood.

He shot a whole lot of red skins as well , so watch out Yellow English swine and also Scotch swine.

Bugger you mate.

I feel like expressing an opinion , so I will.

I have found the installing Ubuntu on a computer is faster and easier than a Microsoft product .

I have done 98 frequently, and XP quite a few times , but have now stopped that sort of behaviour .

Done an install of 8.04 on my previous computer , and have done an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 on my new one.

My nice computer man who installed the new motherboard etc, installed 8.04 even though he had not seen Ubuntu before.

Yes , Ubuntu and Linux are not perfect, but I have no intention of returning to Microsoft .

Peace be with you.

PS. I installed Ubuntu when I was 77. Trying to learn new tricks.

A mouse stood up to USA

Here in New Zealand , about 25 years ago the newly elected Labour Government , decided on a non-nuclear policy.

It would not allow any American ship to enter unless . it was not nuclear powered , or confirmed that no nuclear weapons were on board.

They stuck to their principles ,when pressure from America was applied.

I did not go along with their ideas, but I respect them for standing up to the Americans.

It probably pissed the Americans off no end , when a country with a population of almost 4 million said NO.

Simple Solution-if the problem exists

Suppose for a moment that mankind(or personkind) is the cause of the alleged climate change/global warming, then there is a simple solution.

Go for what the Chinese government is doing- limiting population.

Even if the Hominids are not warming the planet , a lot less people means we will not continue to destroy the environment .

We have roughly increased the world population fourfold in the past century.

Any other animal that increases like that, eventually has a population crash.

We seem to have super sensitive people in NZ, like a female employee of Parliament who saw a rude word on a note some Politician had stuck on the door of the office of his political enemy.

She was so shocked , she swooned (like in Queen Vic,s. time) and had to go home for the day.

I am pleased that one or two people have now noticed that there were two pilots working together as a team to successfully do a forced landing in the river.

Incidentally , the pilots can't talk about this event, except to the investigating team.
