Re: Family silent on who fractured baby's skull

Such rage! :p all for posting a link from a New Zealand herald website. Calm down peeps. If it winds you up, don't read it. As for the personal abuse Bev, I thought that was against the rules? Or, is...

Re: Are Kiwis the grinch?

That's probably true, to some extent, why do you think people in NZ get so upset when you dare to take the p out of NZ? Small man syndrome? :p
