    Used a lot in Buddhism, can spin either way. Buddhism originated in India and spread to the rest of Asia. Been used independently by other cultures as well I believe.

    Afrikaans is the best language for angry music, ever. In fact, I find myself humming this song every time I see a Police car when I'm out riding ... you don't need to know the language (I only know a few phrases) to get the gist ...

    Ohhh - I think we could try to contest that! Ever heard an angry Glaswegian?

    I propose we definately get some Afrikaaners and Glaswegians together for a piss up and abuse hurling/singing contest - If I can't drum up enough Glesga boys I'll have to open it up to the other scots - like Scracha, F/F, The Dover etc.

    hmm interesting idea.

    Nah, Glaswegians can fight well and drink well, but there is no way they can hurl insults as well as a pissed afrikaaner.

    ON the Northern Motorway works at the moment there is a digger that has a reasonable sized NZ flag displayed most days atop one of its things!

    I prefer the white ensign though.

    I had mine flying yesterday - until the wind did a Hone Heke on it!!

    All fixed now and bigger than ever. (as I tell all the girls)

    And its always a good idea when travelling to have a NZ flag/Kiwi/All Black shirt in sight lest you get mistaken as an US citizen.........

    Sure is. When I was in Indonesia, they were all like "you a fucking american man?" and when I said I was a Kiwi they were much friendlier, although still disliked us for going into East Timor.
    When I was in Jakarta there were quite a few guys around with Osama T-shirts, or pictures of the trade centre burning. Full on hardcore wannabe militants, and nobody gave them a second glance.

    Huh, I hadn't realised that racism was so common in Indonesia.

    Remind me to wear one of my shirts the next time I'm over that way. I mean, Islam is a religion of peace, I'd be perfectly safe, right?
