Same writers who don't know the difference between troll and trawl.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Yeah! Got me too! They didn't call it "The Who" for nothing, back then. If you have a good question in a quiz, then you should have the good answer!

Quad bike accident on private property, headline photo of road accident sign on a tar sealed road. Disconnect? Much.

There is no technical reason that there must be an image there. If it's a policy reason then we can mock that policy :)

absolutely

 

but then my point still stands, what picture would you put there instead because it seems like they have to have one.

I see they have now removed Keith Moon's name from the Stuff Quiz. Must have got a few complaints.

A story in the Herald today talks about never-seen-before Royal Family home movies being released shortly in a documentary.

 

Sounds like these movies also reveal some hitherto well-hidden trans identity shenanigans in the Royal Family:

 

"Other footage from Balmoral, taken in 1951, captures the King's final visit there before his death, while home film reels show the Queen's grandmother George V - known to her as 'Grandpa England' - sailing off the Isle of Wight in 1931."

 

 





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Have a photo that has some relevance to a quad bike/rural property.

The headline 'My daughter doesn't trust doctors now': GP facing charges after affair with patient

 

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/gp-who-had-an-affair-with-her-patient-is-facing-charges/AS2FUKMANCXLZ6LRTMQQWDQSYM/

 

I wonder if she trusts her father?

The headline. Remote car-stopping technology a crime 'game changer'

 

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fleeing-drivers-could-be-stopped-by-remote-police-union-says/KIFFOYYYO7MI4YPK3KF7KBQJ7Q/

 

Considering most cars that are stolen are older vehicles generally without a decent ant theft immobiliser system it's pretty unlikely that a remote immobiliser system as discussed here will be seen in the sorts of cars the police need to target for many years yet.

 

Game changer? Possibly. In the foreseeable future? Not likely. Why is this topic even worthy of column inches?
