Let me know when you have some evidence for your risible fairytale. I hope that coincides with you developing some intellectual integrity. Then we might have something to discuss.

Oh, I didn't quote a post of yours.

Ring up the Quote Police and tell them I am under the quota.

I have no answer to your writings?

Ha ha. Apart from picking it apart and showing you that you have no understanding of the cause and admit to it too, whilst ridiculing others who claim to have experience with the cause and then concluding that you have no basis to do such. Then further concluding that you have no foundation for what you believe.

You don't even know what you believe.

Then you have the cheek to say that I have no rebuttal for what you say. Stu, you must be joking. If you aren't joking, then what can I say? I am lost for words. Are you that biased that you cannot even see obvious things anymore?

Or… Have you heard of “Rapunzel's Revenge” mrs?

Once upon a time there lived a little girl and her mother … or the person she thought was her mother.

Every day, when the girl played in her grand villa and lush garden, she grew more curious about what lay on the other side of the ridiculously huge garden wall. Until the day she finally managed to sneak over the top of the wall and was horrified to see what lay beyond.

Imprisoned following her discovery, Rapunzel is determined to take revenge. She is soon wanted – dead or alive – for horse thieving, kidnapping, jail breaking and using her hair in a manner other than nature intended!

Newbery Honour-winning author Shannon Hale has teamed up with husband Dean Hale and artist Nathan Hale (no relation) to create this vibrant visual feast of a book.

Yes, I slightly remember, from my childhood. I was 16 when we left Germany. That has been a lifetime ago. I spoke no English when we arrived here. Thank you for telling the story.
Love Irene

I went to a museum here in Wellington and saw Phar Laps skeleton. His heart is also preserved, in a museum in Melbourne.

It was sad to hear that he was poisoned with arsenic, just when he was ready to take on the big American horse Equipoise. I guess someone couldn't handle competition.

Hi t8

kiwi land is so tiny, hmmm, use to go from coast to coast in just over the hour, then to wellington for a hamburger.
the New zealand Horses have done well.

Have you seen the movie The worlds fastest Indian (Anthony Hopkins)
nuts and bolts and determination take on Americas best?

[Proclaimer]

New Zealand is about the same size as California which is actually bigger than Great Britain.

But it is certainly small compared to Australia. New Zealand can fit inside Australia something like 30 times.

That said, for a small area and population it certainly punches way above its weight. New Zealand competes well against nations that are much bigger and it also has a world of landscapes all bunched together. That is one of the things I like about this country. You can travel through a desert landscape and then be in a lush rain forest 1 hour later. Or you can be on a sunny beach , and then going skiiing in the afternoon. I love the variety and beauty of the landscapes.

I loved Australia when I was there, but man it takes ages to go anywhere and the landscapes are much more consistent, so you see the same thing in one days travel.

Yes I saw that movie. I liked it. Reminded me of that other guy who built the fastest bike in the world from his own  garage, including casting the engining parts himself, then won Daytona and lots of other races.

Thanks for that Link t8, How nice to be free to create and compete.

I remember handing up tools on Friday night, ford Angel box, gam packing a 1600 cross flow motor in, with all the extra, Weber and extractors that bashed holes through the floor, No heater required, hitting one100 mile an hour in third gear,. Not bad back then, Beating a 56 chev of the Mark, the rest I don’t care!. Some black and white racing tape to make it go faster, and She flew down the drag strip; I noticed they used them at the very first gold coast Indy.

I love the Indy, the best thing I have seen is a Jet truck, they band it from From coming back the next year, after it broke windows all thru the high rise apartment in surfers paradise….so worth it…smile

I miss the winding Roads of Home that I learnt to drive on, just a few months ago I took my son over, and went driving, he loved it, he said this is so awesome.
New Zealand is in its own league.

It wasn't any of these road by any chance?

Hi theodorej

I appreciate you acknowledging that you had no actual argument against what I said. I rather think you might have got entangled in t8's deceptions. I don't really think you are without credibility however on this point I'm still not sure why you are disagreeing. Is it you yourself that is being the contrarian now?

You don't even know what you believe.

Well, stu is willing to admit he believes very very little.  There is almost nothing he is certain about–with the one exception being that God almost certainly does not exist.

I guess this strategy has its merrits. One who believes nothing is seldom wrong.

Why is it stu, that you dislike being quoted?

“Do have the integrity not to quote mine my post?”

I actually don't know how to respond to that.

And you have the usual evolutionary responses. Does the fact that something is repeated make it wrong, stu?
No need to be flattered. What I said wasn't very flattering. Basically, you have very little opinion on what you feel you know, because if you state you believe something is true, you may be shown wrong, as science often changes. So, you're in the safety zone. And as I said, you claiming “to know nothing” means you'll never be proven wrong, which is a nice feeling, I suppose.
And stu, I usually do respond to you. It's fun pointing out the errors.
