fooking tell me why 'e wants me on chatham island time, eh?
posted by ethylene 25 July | 04:47
Huh. 45 mins ahead of NZST. How odd.

Whaddaya know, it's the Moriori substratum at work.
posted by nomis 25 July | 04:59
like the dawn has a house band
i've only just discovered them
the US only has the navajo and hopi nations left for time quirks
posted by ethylene 25 July | 05:07
Lordy let's hope there aren't too many vital meetings scheduled between Navajo and Hopi folks while the former are observing daylight saving time and the latter are continuing as they have always done. Hilarity ensues!

Oh, and the Moriori are extinct now. But I heard there's a tribute band touring.
posted by nomis 25 July | 05:13
so it says but
By the beginning of the 20th century, there were just 12 full-blooded Moriori left, a result of killing, enslavement and interbreeding with the Maori tribes who took over the islands. There are now believed to be over 300 Moriori descendants and today Moriori, Maori and Pakeha (Europeans) live together as Chatham Islanders.

Some of the sights to be seen are reminiscent of the Moriori history of the islands. Tree carvings and rock engravings are the main attractions, another being that of the unusual statue of the ‘Last Moriori’, Tommy Solomon. Apparently, you can watch Tommy’s eyes follow you as you wander around the rocks below.

i'm not sure who this tommy is but i don't need 'im watching me
"Oi! Eyes front!"

While we're looking at the world clock perhaps I should mention that I am currently 2h45m behind Chatham Islands time.

This was afternoon coffee...... .. .... ..
posted by nomis 25 July | 05:50
Oi!! Atkins!! Look at me when I am talking to you!!!
posted by nomis 25 July | 05:51
it's almost five am here, so i have had less reason, but possibly more coffee

lord, i have to hassle people i know named atkins now.

"Oi! Check out the ripper!"
i'm delighted giles is first but not at all what i expected
for some reason i thought there would be more on ripping as in "that's ripping!"
not a phrase i particularly cottoned to
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:01
Do you know what would be funny? Someone named Dieter Atkins. Some kind of mad Anglo-German hybrid.

Man, that would be better than BB05.
posted by nomis 25 July | 06:04
You little ripper!

Someone at Wikipedia Inc. spelt "formerly" wrong.
posted by nomis 25 July | 06:06
heh
my god, is there no where safe from big brother?
i blame the british again!
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:11
Did you know that NZ has no:
  • snakes
  • IKEA
  • Big Brother
I'm sure you can imagine my joy at being repatriated to the Lucky Country.
Sadly that pelican image T-shirt is probably the naffest garment I have ever encountered.
...and the band played Waltzing Matilda ...
posted by nomis 25 July | 06:15
obviously we must reinvade the chatham islands
and populate like bunnies
but can we keep some swedish meatballs and some cheap champagne flutes?
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:19
i swear to you someone on or with this link will find something even naffer
but this mustache is beyond words
it may be the hat
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:24
not naff but 'nuff said
but i bet you can start a naff off with much exuberance
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:28
Wow. The spotty shoulders really put the finishing touch on that ... ah ... touching scene.
Just sell me the pelican T-shirt then. BTW cheap champagne flutes (+cheap champagne of course) are all but guaranteed to speed up the repopulation of the Chathams.

Man italics are so sweet!

*spank!*
posted by nomis 25 July | 06:37
and yet i've just found the combination of naff and coffee for you
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:41
naffee!!!
I shall invite my pals for a cup tomorrow.

And in other news: I'm amazed by Monza Naff. That's a moniker to wear with pride. Or summat.
posted by nomis 25 July | 06:50
check out this one
we may have to have a shane day as well
posted by ethylene 25 July | 06:50
I am baffled
posted by matteo 25 July | 06:51
What's more, the mind control, torture, slavery and related terror will help the conversation next time this bloke drops in unexpectedly for coffee.

Welche Gruende es gibt, eine Suedamerikareise zu buchen?

Uh oh ... Gudwin's Law...

Matteo: Mrs Nomis, equally baffled, sends her regards.
posted by nomis 25 July | 06:56
matteo, it's not all jesus vs satan, the devil or the deep blue sea
nomis: i've roughly translated that into what's the [delted] reason for [deleted] south america? to which i respond an alternate amazon to buy from?
posted by ethylene 25 July | 07:02
what's there to be baffled about?
posted by ethylene 25 July | 07:07
That dude looks a lot like Miki González.
