    It's nice to be treated like a competent person by those in authority.
    Last Saturday for a mate and myselves birthdays we decided to test our abilities and hold a hangi. Thanks to a huge effort by my flat mates we pulled it off fairly flawlessly. Cheers guys!
    However I say fairly flawlessly because the fire brigade showed up. Being a group of scruffy students I thought we were fucked, that and we built it slightly close to the neighbours fence...

    Ah, the rebound fuck. The oh-so-integral aspect of what little dating culture New Zealand has. Yes, believe it or not, this country has a dating culture, albeit one that consists mostly of drunken gorilla-men knuckling their way across the dancefloor in a club, before beating on their chests and claiming ownership of some oversexed, underdressed tart who proceeds to kneel down and suck the cream out of his doughnut.

    So you can blat out ‘Loyal’, ‘Hey Ya’, or drop some nice fireside skank on that old guitar that hangs around the bach. You may even fancy yourself a bit of Chad Kroeger.

Awesome, those are the building blocks from which you can become legendary in the Tron.

    This column was created three weeks ago to teach others about what Christians believe. The idea was that you guys would ask questions to us, about things you are confused about, or perhaps check to see if seemingly ludicrous stuff is actually true. However, in order to answer many of your questions in a small column, we need to cover a few basic things that all Christians believe. Otherwise, we would have to both deal with the question and provide this background, all in a rushed and boring way. That leads us to one of the most misunderstood things Christians believe: sin.

    Where did life come from?
    One of the common questions asked about evolution is ‘where did life come from?’ While the question is a fair one, the direct connection isn’t. Evolution explains how life adapts, not where it came from. Your mechanic doesn’t need to explain how steel is refined to fix your car: they’re different areas of science.

    You smell like a wet vagina! You must be wearing Vulva.
    Ever wanted to smell like a woman’s vagina? Well thanks to some crazy harsh cookies and some perverted fucks in Germany, now you can own your own vaginal scent. It’s a perfume; it's more of an aroma, based on vaginas, for men. Vulva offers a genuine scent of a woman’s vagina with an easy to use roll on application. I'm not sure who will it attracted more dogs or rapists?
    The founder of this product Guido Lenssen believes "The intimacy of her scent is important".

    Lena Horne died last week at the age of 92. Horne was one of those unlucky talents championed more for lost potential than actual achievement. This was in no way her own fault. She became a symbol of studio era Hollywood's inability to deal with African American actors and musicians who desired to be cast as something other than servants or dimwits.

    Despite all the rumours of tragedy and divorce, a little happiness has appeared in Hollywood. The first spark of happiness appeared with Lance Armstrong’s announcement. Armstrong and his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, are expecting their second child, just ten months after the birth of their son, Maxwell Edward. This will be their second child together, and Armstrong’s fifth child. The new brother or sister has already been nicknamed ‘cincoarmstrog’ and is due in October. Never fear, Armstrong is regularly updating fans on Twitter regarding the development and progress of the baby.
