Food fun that’s not McDonalds: For this spaghetti and hotdogs winter lunch treat for the brats, simply chop up some pre-cooked sausages and insert dried spaghetti, then boil till cooked, then chuck over a can of tomatoes. Delicious.

Local: More than a tribute to our most charismatic yodelling lesbian twins, The Topp Twins, Untouchable Girls, The Movie is a brilliant social history documentary of NZ over the last 30 years — Bastion Point, The Springboks Tour and homosexual law reform — winning over mainstream New Zealand one battle at a time. Have a squiz here and do go see it.

The web: Susan Boyle is bigger than Obama.

Worst names ever: Two brothers named Winner and Loser and Marijuana Pepsi.

Movie: Hard to believe, but some people didn’t like The Princess Bride…

”When this movie begins a young boy is concerned that this movie is a kissing movie. But he is assured it is not by his grandpa. Unfortunately the granpa is wrong, this movie is undoubtedly “a kissing movie”. That is just one of the many problems witht the movie. Most importantly there is the pathetic supposed to be funny but greatly failing humor and script. This includes the very annoying line. “no more rhyming I mean it! Anyone want a peanut?” I mean seriously that is not funny. There is also the horrible effects. It is amazing that this movie was made in 1987 because I would have guessed it was made in 1960. Between mechanical rodents, kissing, kissing, kissing, peanuts, and Indigo Montoya’s fathers death this movie is bad.”
