Watching Rage on ABC 3 . I think its only been the last few months that they have started broadcasting Rage on there - knowing the kiddies are safely tucked up in bed.

Have watched 4 consecutive songs by Afro American "musicians". I propose REH's 1st law of music videos. The crappier the musicality of the song, the greater the sexual content of the video.

Because he was blonde, blue eyed with a beard and wore the prison bar jumper number 7 :p
reminds me of a joke when I was a kid;)

A guy dies and makes his way to heaven, greeted at the pearly gates by his long deceased father, "Come in son, you're going to love heaven, unlimited beer, hot women everywhere , everything a man can desire is here"

"Sounds great dad but I'm not ready to die, Port are playing in another Grand final"

"don't worry son, we have our own games played up here, we have all the old greats"

father and son sit together again watching the footy, just like old times

"Dad this game is amazing, watching all the past champs, there's Teddy Whitten, Haydn Bunton, Jack Dyer, Gordon Coventry, John Coleman, Bob Quinn, Fos Williams etc, but for the life of me I can't make out number 7"

"Son.... that's God, he thinks he's Russell Ebert" :p

NZ PM John Key has called for a change in the Kiwi flag. Wants a silver fern on it. Says he might call a referendum in 2015. Might be a bit of kite flying on his part but have said for a long time I reckon the Kiwis will beat us to a republic and flag change and we will sheepishly follow. Pun intended.

Any flagologists out there who can explain why countries dont have all or majority black flags? You would think a black flag with a silver fern would win any vote.

Ths Canadians got it right in the lead up to their centenary of independence in 1967. Have the debate start in 1963, move it to parliament in 1964 after a debate set up a committee, ask for deaigns from the public, several months later vote on it and when the committe votes 15-0 for one design in late 1964, it is adopted and officially changed by the queen in February 1965. No Canadian since has said lets change the flag it doesnt represent Canada.

I think black flags are associated with pirates
Thats why I asked if there are flagologist who know - not guess. Flags have been around for several thousand years. Pirates for maybe 500. There must be some older reason why.

ISIL flag is black. You would think the African nations that got independance post WWII woild have used some black but their must be some convention.
