Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'

Well this Kiwi has just woken up. What a perverted lot you are. All this stripping and peeling. We always call 'em kiwifruit so there's no confusion. Some fruiterers actually sell a bunch of them in a little plastic box complete with a serrated plastic spoon to cut them open and spoon them out with.

As for our poor endangered birds: No peeling! Please! They're tough but they can't fly and rats and stoats get their eggs. If you go way into the bush you can hear them at sunset calling out to each other. You never see them in the wild though -- too shy and they only like the dark. Daylight makes them sizzle and burn...

If I only had a brain...

They're endangered, and are the only birds to have nostrils at the tip of their bills

Well, no wonder. Every time they try to take a drink, they drown.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, no wonder. Every time they try to take a drink, they drown.

Gannets don't have any nostrils, for much this reason. When your primary feeding strategy involves hitting the ocean's surface head-first at up to 90 kph, you could argue there's a danger of getting seawater forced into your sinuses.

Always Anti-fascist!

We don't usually peel them, just cut them iin half and scoop out the green part. Tasty but annoying.Kiwifruit, I mean.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.' That's all there is.

Well I get a peeling kiwi moment, whenever I hear of financial markets trading euros (which by the way, is stupid currency)

(which by the way, is stupid currency)

Hey! It's all we got. Anyway, at least we have our own name for our currency, and don't have to use somebody elses. BTW, what currency does NZ have? NZ dollars? t /ignorant.

Actually, I much preferred the originally suggested name for the Euro (Écu), which they had to reject because it was French, and we can't have one language being favoured above all the others.

Yes, NZ has NZ dollars, which are worth even less than Australian dollars.

I love the Euro. Anything that involves the creation of a brand new typographical symbol (and therefore the obsolescence of billions of keyboards) is OK by me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a couple of Euros. I have no idea where I got them. Unless...I dunno, maybe I'm traveling to Europe in my sleep?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's really strange. I have 2 10's and a 5 Canadian (I can actually explain those, I was on a business trip and stayed in Windsor).
A euro 10
1000 Won from the Bank of Korea
100 Kronor
And something from the Banco Central Do Brasil that's apparently worth 10 Reais

I have no idea.
