Transsexual MP greets the Queen as she lands in New Zealand

,,, the Hunt Everest expedition? There's as much credibility to that ....

Am I mistaken?

It was quite a while ago, after all.

Was another, perhaps parallel, New Zealand expedition being conducted at the same time Hunt's Team was on the mountain? [And its team-member, New Zealander, Ed Rhodham Hillary, was making it to the summit?]

,,, oh, I thought you knew for certain what you were talking about. Within the last year this was revisited as there has been a lot of doubt since 1953. Allow me to clarify the findings for you. It turns out the Brits weren't the first, so Ed can still stay proudly on our $NZ5 notes.

Just so's we both know what I was talking about: New Zealand beekeeper and mountain climber, Ed Hilary, a member of the British Expedition led by [The, later, Lord] Hunt -- and ably assisted by the sherpa, Tensing, was the firdt man to conquer Mount Everest!

Much later, revisionist American and eurotrash wanna be do-gooders claimed that, in fact Tensing was the first to climb Everest, this despite that Tensing and his ilk -- until Hunt and Hilary and the boys came by and kicked their arses into gear -- had spent the previous several thousand years squatting around Everest's base, without either walking -- or even looking -- up.

Good ones, my Friend

..... as for Rutherford, the hardware used in the process was British, the location where it took place was in England - widely known. If it had been left to the Brits though, they'd still be standing around saying in unison "I'm not doing it, it's not my job!"

Does being Right all of the time get to be boring after a while?

HehHehHeh

..... there is wind on the moon to make the Stars and Stripes flutter .....

I knew THAT!

Thought the operation included getting rid of the member.

The Queen smiled and chatted briefly to her.

Her? More like Kiwi fruit.

[shaggy eel]

,,, I'm not right all the time - consider how silent I am on some other threads. [LOL]

[Jay W]

New Zealand, where the Queen is head of state, has a high proportion of women in powerful roles, including the other two senior constitutional positions.

Is this the reason why NZ is heading in a certain direction in a handbasket?

[shaggy eel]

,,, very much so. Don't forget though, the US had eight years of Klinton. He placed certain women in certain positions too. [LOL]

[Brian Allen]

..... consider how silent I am on some other threads ..... That's when I know I'm in trouble. That you're stalking about somewhere around -- and are about to pounce!

Warm ones -- B A

[shaggy eel]

,,, as pouncers do!

Warm 1's back at ya mate. Regards.

[Brian Allen]

..... as pouncers do!

Don't be too forlorn, shaggs, for you are not alone.

We have ponces in America, too, y'know.

[shaggy eel]

,,, that's "pouncers" Brian, "pouncers"! You've made me smile.

[In mourning for six years]

New Zealand "deserves her......" Wow, Brian that's hitting below the belt! No one deserves her! LOL! {:>) Hi, Shaggy!

[shaggy eel]

,,, well, thank you for introducing that refreshing possibility! I'm afraid we'll be stuck with the Marxist and her losers for another term. The National Party is supposed to be the mainstream opposition. It virtually doesn't exist right now. Their view seems to be "let Labour run it's course and really screw things up. We'll have no trouble getting in after the second term."

That's the extent of fight in the right wing? Let me tell you about the extent of my will to vote for them. The only hope for NZ right now lies with www.act.org.nz

The average Kiwi is kept on a strict diet of distraction via televised rugby, cricket or whatever and apathy abounds.

[Brian Allen]

,,, that's "pouncers" Brian, "pouncers"! You've made me smile.

Good. That was the intentention. Me too!
