    The prophet in Palmy is the Devil.

    Fair call.
    A challenge:
    Name all of the good things that have come from Palmy?

    John Clarke came from NZs armpit , left as soon as he could, never returned.

    @jegga Born in the 'Naki wasn't he?

    Either way he just changed armpits when he moved to Waikato.

    Nope Palmy , when John Cleese said Palmy was the place to go if you were contemplating suicide Clarke got pretty angry .

    @jegga Right you are. Might have been thinking of Don Clarke...from the 'naki.

    Without reading his bio - John ended up in Perth? I'm going to put this here which will annoy some but it is engineering / science related and makes me laugh.:

    @Snowy 'the front fell off' is absolutely classic humor. Deserves to be in any thread.

    • Golden Takeaways, you can still get a fish burger with 4 pieces of fish in it for $4
    • Sam Whitelock

    That's probably it, but it's a sweet quinella.

    I'll give you Sam Whitelock, but I am dubious about the fish burger.

    Next.

    @voodoo good point!

    should we start a thread with a poll to determine which poster should be our Prophet, and we will let him or her tell us how it all started?

    You called?

    there's already a middle eastern prophet (two i guess) so lets get a bit of diversity aye?

    What about this guy?

    alt text

    Although probably too easy to confuse him as Middle Eastern.

    Maori jesus!

    I thought Paul Tito was the Maori Jesus

    we don't elevate gingers to any sort of title

    Incorrect. "Smells of wee" is often a title applied. Or is that a sobriquet?

    Wow. I have seriously made a mess of this if you add this:

    And fish burgers from Palmy.

    I am sure that @higgins will agree with me, but the best thing about Palmerston North is that they have this event every year. Here is a video from last year.

    These guys are the real modern gladiators. Putting body and 100-200K machines on the line, teams racing for their club and their mates. And they do get hurt - see 20 seconds in, when 87B Thomas Stanaway goes for a ride up the wall - he separated 4 ribs from his spine in that hit

    @Stockcar86 Don't have quite as fond memories of last year but the two immediately preceding that then most definitely yes!

    Just another example of how animals adapt that’s all. Now if they triple in size and start hanging out under wharves.....
