This is insanity- I know about the first two for sure, but does anyone have a source for the complete list? They’ve gone on longer than Khader Adnan, and do you remember how shocked we were that he survived 66 days? Apparently they’ve almost reached a deal but this shows completely clearly how little Palestinian lives are worth to Israel- it’s sickening. What’s worse than the complete lack of morality is the lack of any accountability, if they can get away with the deaths of countless Palestinians, then what on earth needs to happen for people to care, for something to change? How the fuck can you do more than die for a cause?
Just saw this on the news this morning (or was it late last night)….
With the help of antibiotics and vitamins I finally feel well enough to go out today. Which is great because we have tickets for the Maori Troilus & Cressida at the Globe. (You’ll want to click that link to see a beautiful haka.)
This is the first show in the Globe 2 Globe Festival, which will see Shakespeare’s thirty-seven plays performed in thirty-seven languages (including British sign language, Macedonian, Gujarati, Palestinian Arabic). Sometimes living in London can’t be beaten.
I saw this in Auckland, before they left for Globe 2 Globe. Would have loved to see it at the Globe!

Another reason why girls are attracted to British guys

British guys: You look absolutely gorgeous today.
American/other guys: Damn girl you be lookin’ fine tonight.
……You’re more likely to get “you’re FAF”, “you look well fit”, “oi oi sexy”, -wolf whistle-
#OI,SHOW US YOUR TITS!OP clearly has never been to Britain.

The other WTC Remember when there was a World Trade Center (sic) on Sturdee Street in Wellington? Google Images doesn’t either.
The signs still there, though I think it’s in ghuznee st, opposite that park just off cuba anyway. I think it’s a cafe now??
Is this for real? Have they actually dubbed Once Were Warriors into French?
Bonjour! Quel que soit l’invité, les Maoris pratiquent le powhiri pour accueillir un étranger à leur communauté. Et Donald Tsang, cet homme politique hong-kongais en visite à Auckland n’a pas échappé à la tradition face à son hôte Pita Sharples, membre du parlement de Nouvelle-Zélande pour Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland City). Alors, ils ont effectué le rituel de bienvenue qui consiste en un hongi où l’on presse son nez contre celui d’une autre personne, les yeux fermés, front contre front et main dans la main en guise de salutations. Un signe qui correspond au mélange des souffles et représente l’unité. On le pratique souvent trois fois de suite: le premier contact permet de saluer la personne, le second est fait en reconnaissance des ancêtres et le troisième est une pression du nez et du front, dans le but d’honorer la vie.

A nosy welcome. The Maori custom of welcome is the “powhiri,” where two meeting people close their eyes and press their foreheads and noses together in greeting. This gesture is supposed to represent the sharing of breath and thus, unity. Pita Sharples, a member of New Zealand’s parliament, welcomed his guest, Donald Tsang, a politician from Hong-Kong, to Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland City) in such a manner. Traditionally, the powhiri is repeated three times: the first time is a way to honor and greet the new arrival, the second time honors the ancestors and the third honors life.
Kia ora. Just a wee correction to your explanation. What you’re discribing in the image, the pressing of noses during greeting, is called a “HONGI”. Powhiri is the name for the full welcome ceremony from wero, being called onto the marae, to the speeches and finishing with HONGI and then a kai (meal)
