    You know it's a slow news day...

    When the headline news is all about the weather.
    They interviewed some geezer stuck in his car somewhere in Dunedin, he couldn't drive anywhere because a few cars had crashed and blocked the road in front of him because of the snow and ice. He says...."I've never seen it like this before"....... WTF?? it happens every year for goodnes sakes. Its winter time !

    yeah, its like when they put rugby news on at 6:15 instead of leaving it til the sports news section! There is sooooo much news to report on 24 7 but they spoon feed us this crap. Its all part of the dumbing down of the work slaves...you and I.

    Lisa Owen takes the prize of moron of the day. In her report on one news this evening she is sitting on a childs swing in an empty primary school. She says..... "listen to that".....(nothing but silence) "thats the sound of swine flu coming to class"...
    Holy beegesus christ..... its not shakespear Lisa.

    You wouldn't understand. You live in that place up in the North Island. Have you seen snow??

    In point of interest, it normally doesn't snow this bad in Dunedin so

    Its a white powdery like substance.... kind of like frozen rain, that gently drifts out of the sky when the temperature drops to a certain level.
