So given pirates aren't really that big a deal these days, Genghis Khan attitudes have diminished, would it be a really radical step if the Kiwis chose a black flag with a silver/white fern on it??
I disagree that pirates aren't a big deal nowadays, but I digress...

Yes it would be a radical step (but a fantastic one). I think this is the worst possible timing for it with the ISIS kerfuffle though.

The Kiwis that I know feel that the silver fern for the national flag would be the same as us using the boxing kangaroo for ours.

I'm just reading It again.

The book reflects the time he took to finish it, putting it down and revisiting the story some time later. The first half is pretty scary and then it turns to crap in the second half - IMO of course.
 
Just get rid of the Union Jack and we're done.

Think I have a copy of a Sunday Mail from some years ago taken at an Ashes Test. Someone displayed a flag and replacing the Union Jack were the words "Jack Off". If I can find it tonight I will scan and post it.

A bloke I played footy with years ago had it on a tshirt.
 
what a great story/ film. but incredibly sad at the same time, listening to his daughter explain how tough life was for him.
He did a lot of manual labouring jobs and is looking rather frail. He had to be assisted on and off stage by a women (could be one of his daughters). At one point he said to the audience "go easy on me, I'm 72 years old". His voice is still strong though.

RussellEbertHandball Powerstufff were you guys at Rodriguez last night.

I really enjoyed it.
Incredible for a 72 y.o., voice not perfect but has lasted better than mine and I am younger and not a singer. I liked the very slight reinterpretation of the backing guitar.
It was like a time-machine back to the 70s ( I get that feeling with Neil Young too). The goobers in the audience calling out weird stuff between songs was a bit lame. I thought it might be just me being quite tired after a long, busy day at work but Sugar Man Sixto Rodriguez rocks Adelaide, brings his tunes to town said "...“We love ya Rod,” one bloke called out about, oh, 97 times ..."
The audience intrigued me, quite a few my age but wearing bits and bobs from the 70s. Many younger people there too, more IMO than a few of the other nostalgia acts I've seen in recent years.
The lass who opened for him was very good, do you remember her name? She only said it once.
