If we needed any more reason not to let National take us back to the 90s, I think this might be it.

    Or, you could put your faith in the fashion sense of these guys

    who do not have the excuse that it is 1990.

    Billy, Chris and Don are dressed like normal people. You’re not from the North Shore are you?

    Where I come from only freaks have hereford head moustaches last sported by Gary Whetton.

    why do they do it to themselves?
    who was their fashion advisor, DPF?

    I hear it was Billy. Obviously struck a nerve.

    I get it Billy! You can type well for someone at kindergarten. I can imagine that if one of your play pals had a mo they’d look a bit odd, given you’re all four years old & all 😉

    I’m from the Shore, that is an example of Shore wanabes and total National party membership for the Shore branch. Also how energetic Mapp is!

    Actually, I am now seriously worried. When I read the thing first time, I understood it was an old photo. If it is recent, I agree entirely that it impacts on their ability to govern.

    (Although I stand by my sound criticism of those moustaches, which appear to be worn entirely without irony).

    god it’s not really a current photo is it?
    say it isn’t so…

    I actually don’t know how old it is. On the one hand I’d assume it’s pretty recent if it’s up on their flickr site, but on the other I refuse to believe those sweaters were made this century. No sane manufacturer would allow it.

    Matthew Pilott, please tell me you don’t have a hereford head moustache.

    Tiny – I was waiting for some socialist to post such a response. So predictable. So lame.

    santa…i think you are a total lug. but that was pretty funny.

  17. Sam Dixon 17
    16 November 2007 at 4:12 pm

    With National’s policies you’ld think it was still 1991.

    Santa – APEC constumes are chosen by the host nation, usually a slightly kooky take on traditional dress of the nation… and, of course, those great conversative heroes, Howard, Harper and Bush can be seen in them too.

  18. Tane 18
    16 November 2007 at 4:14 pm

    Santa bro, I was taking the piss. You’re not, like, actually a racist are you?

    (On a more serious note, what Sam said.)

    Sam, defend Trotter’s moustache. I dare you.

  20. Robinsod 20
    16 November 2007 at 4:16 pm

    I think Trotter’s looks kinda cool – reminds me of my days in the police…

  21. Billy 21
    16 November 2007 at 4:18 pm

    There you were, Robinsod, the coolest guy on the left. And you ruined it. If you think that’s cool, there is no way I am dating you. And remember, I am really hot.

  22. the bean 22
    16 November 2007 at 4:22 pm

    well…in defence of the mo: currently a fashion must have due to movember and the trough of celebs who are giving a mo a go. also movember has the kudos of ‘charity’ behind the silliness and charity work is always something worth associating with. (except if it is a ‘save the national party jumper’ charity.)

    lastly… on occasion… a mo that has gone a bit soft (no longer the stubbly hair) can feel great when a guy is licking your snatch.

    there will that do ya billy?

  23. Santa Claws 23
    16 November 2007 at 4:22 pm

    Tane, I don’t care what race people are.

    Sam of course. But most folks get a laugh from them don’t they?

    2005 version http://tinyurl.com/ymqgsb

    Bush http://tinyurl.com/yx73dg

    I should say I totally agree that those National shirts are ugly nowadays, and were probably ugly back then too.

  24. Robinsod 24
    16 November 2007 at 4:23 pm

    Shit – I forgot that, um I was never in the police and I don’t believe in facial hair! Like a young Sofia Loren, right?

    they have policies???? Is that the ‘sell everything to the highest bidder’?

    Bush looks like a kid in a school play. I bet he waved to his handler immediately after the photo.

    i didn’t think I was going to read the word snatch today, now I can’t get it out of my head. thanks, beany, for making my day more magical.

    Billy – rumour has it that Matt Pilott has no body hair whatsoever. that’s why he’s a socialist: his ultimate aim is to redistribute the luscious locks that you worked so hard to grow onto his lazy scalp

  32. Robinsod 32
    16 November 2007 at 4:35 pm

    But Tane – Bean said “snatch”

  33. Billy 33
    16 November 2007 at 4:36 pm

    This is the funnest thread it has ever been my pleasure to be a part of. Well done, everyone.

  34. Robinsod 34
    16 November 2007 at 4:39 pm

    Sam – talk like that is just inviting Matt to sue you and teh standard for defamation. Unless it’s true of course. So, ah, Matt, is it true?

  35. the bean 35
    16 November 2007 at 4:40 pm

    so in your ‘learned’ opinion robinsod how many possible other words are there to use instead of ‘snatch’? ooo the standard could make it into another one of their fun competitions- list with the most words that mean ‘snatch’ wins!

    note: ‘snatch’ in this context does not mean ‘grab’

  36. Robinsod 36
    16 November 2007 at 4:43 pm

    I make it about three Bean (I’m not really a man of the world). I’m pretty sure your idea would increase the standard’s hits though… And probably it’s spam as well.

    16 November 2007 at 4:48 pm

    but robinsod i though you were a qualified language expert. sigh, what do they teach you other than alternate words for snatch?

  39. Matthew Pilott 39
    16 November 2007 at 4:51 pm

    Word on the street is, I’m growing a mo, at the mo. Due to my hairless complexion it is still three days from becoming visible.

    Sam I am actually a capitalist in disguise – I know there’s a cure out there, they just need to bulldoze the amazonian rainforest and snatch it off the indians.

    Robinsod, as it was a true comment of Sam’s, but you claimed it wasn’t, I’m goin’ ta get LITIGOUS (is that how you spell it? I stay the fuck away from the corpulent aspect of society that is sue-age) on your ass and snatch your hard-earned money.

  40. Matthew Pilott 40
    16 November 2007 at 4:55 pm

    On a serious note, why is there a national “N” on everything?

    They’re a big hoax aren’t tehy? National I mean – they’re in alliance with the castro-chavez cabal, and they’re going to NATIONALIZE EVERYTHING!!! Even the clouds; look at the left shoulder of the person on the right.

    VOTE LABOUR, AND FIGHT THE COMMUNISTS!

    ahahaha mathew said snatch…and he was grabbing it like it was 1999! nooiiiice

  42. Sam Dixon 42
    16 November 2007 at 5:02 pm

    I, for one, never foresaw that this thread would become a discussion of Pilott’s facial hair and the uses to which Beany likes to put such hair.

    Also, Robinsod/Billy, can I come to the civil union?

    Oh and one last thought before I snatch a beer, make like a baby and ‘head out’ 😀

    Why would the Nats be partying like it was 1999? We might be 😉

    My captcha has the pound symbol in it. What am I supposed to do – robinsod you are censoring me and I henceforth announce my intention to Sue you. I might also Sharon, and even Camilla you, if you don’t watch out.
