Yep... it was the Kiwis apparenty... The earliest known non-military suicide attack occurred in Murchison in New Zealand on 14 July 1905. A long-standing dispute between two farmers resulted in a court case, and the defendant (Joseph Sewell) had sticks of gelignite strapped to his body. When...

Meh. Making war upon the infidel is something humanity has done under various guises since time immemorial. Islam doesnt have a monopoly on that either. Plenty of christian folks were more than happy to spread their message at the point of a sword/gun/whatever. Won't comment further on the...

Drug cartel = terror group - why not? They target security forces and civilians for random killing. They take and kill hostages. They spread terror. They commit very public acts of brutality. They enforce a strict code of behaviour. They recruit from the impoverished, oppressed and disaffected...

Neither do 99.9% of all the islamic terror groups that ever existed... the point is that terror is not, and never has been the exclusive preserve of islam. And a lot of those groups are still active (particularly the us soverign citizen wierdos). And the mexican drug cartels. And the abortion...

You, sir, are a gentleman and a schollar.

I see this periodic dabling with Hanson sa being a bit like the chiko roll i buy every 10 years or so. You look at it, think "hey...that looks ok, not as bad as i remember". So you buy it. Then you take a bite. Thats when you realise that they really are horrible and drop it in the bin at the...

When my son was little (still in nappies from memory) he crapped in the bath. The look of horror on his face was priceless. He was grabbing for it yelling "NOOOOOOO Put it back in bum!" He had a darn good try too untill we managed to get everything cleaned up. We are so saving that story for...

Long shot but he's not scared of falling in is he? That happened to one of my sister's kids. My little bloke (well... he was little back then, he's pushing 6 foot now) was similar. Happy to pee in the toilet. Inavriably pooed his pants. I think he just liked the warm, squishy feeling. He did...

But I have a physical reaction every time I drink beer - I get drunk and pee a lot. But yeah... burning sounds bad. Could be an alergy. Tingling sensation on the lips? If it is something in there that you are alergic to then you might want to have the ambos on standby before you have another...

OH&S gone mad!

I usually don't name my beers but I do make a couple of exceptions. The brown i'm drinking now - Life In A Northern Brown. The Amber lager I'm brewing next - Nine Princes. But those aren't stupid names...

In my keg fridge. 4% Northern Brown at the moment. Next brew will be an amber lager then a pils. After that, probbaly a bitter. I'll happily drink an IPA but it will be one IPA. I cant have a night out on IPAs, one and I'm done. I'd much rather something I can drink a few of without feeling...

There was one brew there where the brewer had added actual passionfruit and guava to an IPA where the hops already added enough tropical fruit to make it taste like a fruit salad. Not my favorite beer that one. Honestly, its not just the hops, or the beards. Its also that we dont seem to be...
