Flash 55 - Kickin' Some Aussie Butt

My contribution to this week's Friday Flash 55, brought to us by the wicked but lovable Mr G-Man.


The scores were level at full time. The game went into extra time,  the teams couldn’t be separated, the game went into extra, extra time . The winner of the match would be the team that could get ahead by two goals. After a nail biting finish…Gold to the New Zealand Silver Ferns Netball Team.

NZ and Australia are great rivals in sport. This was a very physical, exciting game. Both Australia and NZ played very well but it always gives me great satisfaction when one of our teams beats the Aussies. Congrats to the Silver Ferns on winning Gold at the Commonwealth Games!

P.S. After reading a few comments, it's apparent some of you don't know of Netball. Just follow the NZ netball link up above, which will take you to the NZ netball website, if you want to find out about it . Netball is very popular here, it's amazing to me that some haven't heard of it. Shows what I know, hehe!

Have a great weekend all.

Coming up...Coco's World

Kiwi Gold

New Zealand has beaten Australia 24-17 in the Sevens Final of the Commonwealth Games. This is the fourth consecutive gold for the Kiwis in this event. I'm so proud of the boys. Why do we call them boys in these situations went they are obviously men? They stripped off their shirts and performed the Haka after winning their medal. This takes our gold tally to three. Cool!

KB's Briefs - Paul Henry, 4 Shots Of Gin and Going For Gold

News from NZ and around the world, through the eyes of a Krazy Blonde.

- Paul Henry has offended people.  Doesn't he always?  Paul Henry, is a news presenter on a Breakfast TV Show.  He's on suspension at the moment for making racist comments. I used to hate watching the news because I found it so depressing but now I watch it most mornings because of Paul Henry. I find his outlook on NZ and the rest of the world somewhere between hilarious and shocking. Sometimes he does go too far but don't we all? Haven't we all said something we regret later? I think Paul (at times) says things many of us think but wouldn't dare say out loud. He appears to speak without thinking of the consequences.

There's another story about him on telly this morning, he's in hot water for laughing at the pronunciation of  the name - Shelia Dikshit. I laughed when I heard the name. If my name was Dikshit, I'd think it was funny too. If you don't like Paul Henry and you find his comments offensive..turn the channel, turn off the telly, read a newspaper. He won't continue to be on TV if nobody is watching.

In life, people make comments which are of their opinion, everybody is entitled to their opinion, it doesn't mean we have to agree with it. It's just one person's opinion, it shouldn't give our whole country a bad rap. If someone makes a comment about your race, your age, the colour of your skin or your hair, it doesn't mean it's true. Why are you offended? Often people are offended by behaviours in others that they need to work on themselves. You don't have to take offence. Rise above it, be the better person. What you believe of yourself is what's important after all.

- NZ's Medal Count so far is 10, yay! That's pretty good for NZ.

- Stan and Gin won 4 awards each at the New Zealand Music Awards last night. Yay, my predictions were pretty good considering I hadn't heard of half of the nominees.



That's all from me folks!
