    “Any girls in there?”

    No one would notice if their cherry went missing…

    To be honest it looks like a celebratory orgy concluding a gay pride march in Italy.

    Mmmm … nothing like a little Italian for dinner.

    I remember being in Ohakune for the carrot festival once. Similar, but the carrots aren’t as squishy so not as much fun ;-)

    Now don’t forget to post on the Bradford deaththreats Mr Farrar! Keen to know your position here.

    In a thread about a tomato celebration? OK – If Bradford doesn’t rescind her terrible anti-smacking law 20,000 gay Italian tomato fetishists will puree her.

    I think I can see Chris Carter and his consort in there, it must have occurred during their world junket on our money.

    Perhaps we could have our own NZ version of La Tomatina.

    We could arrange for it to occur at the conclusion of the Kiwi Fruit harvest to ensure an abundance of over-ripe fruit.
    I suggest we call it ‘Te Kiwi Fruit’. That should keep the Maori Party happy.
    And may I suggest Auckland’s Queen Street as the ideal venue.

    Of course, we would expect to see Chris Carter and boyfriend, as well as Helun and Heather in attendance.

    Sadly, I will be busy that weekend.

    DPF,

    [DPF: 10 demerits for off topic in relation to Carter and Clark. Save it for General Debate]

    So on the same basis we would expect you to give Backster’s 9:35am comment [re: his Chris Carter reference] demerit points as well?

    I think you’re being both inconsistent and a little precious.
    But I guess it’s your prerogative.
