It isn't really all that impressive though - they're a size 10 in name only, because those particular jeans stretch so much. They're really only suitable for summer so will keep them till then.
I was once a size 8, weird as that seems now.
I definitely agree Kiwimade; those people are torn away from their families & if they appeal the decision to dump them here in NZ then they're sent to Christmas island for months while waiting on the appeal, which can make visits from families near impossible, & kept in fairly horrendous conditions - & that's regardless of crimes having been committed years ago & these people having paid the penalty for that. Punishing people twice (& lets not forget the effect on their families) for the same crime is cruel & vindictive; no govt in an allegedly civilised country should go down that road, especially given that it creates a precedent which at some future point could be used differently against others.
One man was sent here who'd committed no crime but who was an associate of people in one of the gangs.
Imo Australia has it badly wrong in the way they're dealing with people who are in reality Australian made criminals.

And as for the terrorist - no, let him remain alive & here. Let him live long enough to fully comprehend what he did; far worse than death penalty is a long life in prison.
Despite fire weather predictions its quite sunny here just now, not exactly warm but might warm up slightly with luck; apparently there's snow further south. I managed to persuade myself to do the dreaded dusting earlier, & felt so very virtuous I made another strudel for the freezer.
Yes, agreed that TM certainly is not what it was - their traffic numbers must be well down now without the forums.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
