    I remember reading years ago that orangutan was mistreated (beaten) to get it to act. Quite sad what we used to do to animals for entertainment.

    That is sad to hear. Whoever played Clyde was probably the best actor in the whole movie.

    Not Clints finest four or so hours ( counting the sequel too )

    If you are opposed to meat products would you eat pretend meat?

    For people who purport to not want to eat meat, it is a funny preoccupation to have. Perhaps they are trying to temp meat eaters who would consider swinging to the other side?

    I had an ex who was vege simply because she couldn't stomach eating meat. She'd try all those not bacon's etc as substitutes.

    Did she eat any other kind of meat or is that why you split up?

    Holy shit. This is incredible. Not only did they do a story on it (just imagine what would have had to have happened in order to get to this point) , they also got comment from a companies operations director to comment as well as an expert comment from some bloke at Massey Uni.

    Weep for the state of media in NZ.

    anyone who is always up before the sun without a damn good reason is a creepy fuck.

    I would heartily support a public flogging, let alone a banning from a Facebook page.

    While good, god-fearing people are safe and sound in their beds, this creep is up. Possibly taking photos of your undies on washing lines. And what do the authorities do about it? Nothing. Thankfully, one group of Facebook admins had the courage to stand up for what's right. This is their story

    @rocky-rockbottom and @mariner4life
    When Oscar Wilde said that "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit", he finished it with "but the highest form of intelligence".

    You should both be commended.

    I must admit that I don't live that far from Torbay, and I am a little frightened by this sort of horror less than a couple of hours away. I mean what next - sunset photos? Fuck.

    A few minutes of flight time and it takes them days to find the black boxes. What are the chances in a Malaysian Airlines scenario other than zero? Amazing that they haven't sorted out some other recording system that isn't housed in the plane. Or they have but they're too tight to implement it

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/108269078/who-wears-the-trousers-when-it-comes-to-driving-your-family-car

    Funny article. I drive 100% of the time unless drunk when my wife and I are in the car, and I'll be fucked if that's changing any time soon especially for the long hauls. She also prefers to be in the passenger seat as that allows her precious social media time on her phone.

    I think there are more men that enjoy driving than there are women, doubt that's going to change

    The whole thing will be a moot point soon when Elon rolls out his driverless cars to the public anyway,

    @no-quarter Without reading the article (Ferning at its best) I'd say there's no hard and fast rule. I know couples where the woman exclusively drives and I know couples where it's the opposite, and when couples have two cars usually it just depends on whose car they're driving.

    I pretty much have a driverless car already. It's the wife's car. I really wish she'd just pay a bit more attention.

    My mother hit a tree with her car leaving the panelbeaters when I was a kid. To this day describes herself as a “very good driver”. Everyone I’ve ever heard call themselves a very good driver is usually not.

    Fucken word to this post. I'll freely admit to being careless and inconsiderate at times. I'm human. I make mistakes. I have a fuck ton of evidence pointing out mates who claim they are brilliant making bad mistakes, best one was one who went through a roundabout with a trailer and didn't give way to his right, but, you know the honking and abuse he received was "the other guys fault"

    Asians and Indians are fucken bad drivers though. Especially the women.

    @no-quarter I think historically, and statistically, males did drive more often when going on family trips, which has also contributed to the males more likely to have accidents than females (add in the show off factor too and well, perfect storm)

    I remember as a young boy in the late 70s and early 80s, we went on family outings, dad drove, even after he'd had a few beers and mum hadnt had anything to drink.

    my bro and I were given a bottle of coke and a bag of burger rings or chips and sent out to the old Escort Van to go and read or fight until we got tired and needed to sleep

    I always drive irrespective of whose car it is because I am a terrible passenger

    Not that I am a fantastic driver but having been involved in seven write offs by 25 and having been either the passenger and / or stationary for every one makes you reluctant to give over control.

    As someone from the Asian demographic I would tend to agree that they are fucking hopeless drivers (I have influenced CF Jnr because he knows the bad drivers are either Indian, Asian, women or old people LOL). There are lots of shit caucasian drivers too, in general I find the asian/indians to be incompetent whereas many of the euros are just plain rude and inconsiderate
