Anyway, Happy Birthday Tralla

He skips over every second block of concrete, he avoids stepping on all the cracks, he touches each telephone pole he passes three times. He passes his own type of judgement on those who walk by him, while in turn ignoring judgement of his own obssessions...

so there I was, trying to find enough brown M&M's to fill a brandy glass, or ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. *someone* poked their head around the corner and mentioned there was a sweet shop on the edge of town...

Where are you getting your information from?

 

After the treaty was signed, the maoris stopped the widescale butchery of paka. And, with the exception of the occasional hangied missionary, left the english alone. Except to buy booze from him.

 

The english, unable to defeat them in war, decided assimilation was the go and encouraged white men to take maori brides. This almost worked, too. Only very recently have the few fullbloods left decided to keep all marriages between fullbloods, in an effort to save their race and thumb their noses at mother england

*THE* new zealand wars occured after the signing of the treaty of Waitangi in 1840.

I'll get round ot the actual beginning later, but suffice to say, 90% of the physical conflict between britain as an imperial army and various maori tribes occured between 1846 and 1872.

The poms didn't win for numbers. They managed to talk the maoris into signing a treaty which they never had any intention of honouring. That's why there are land disputes to this day. The maoris want the shiny beads they were promised

The New Zealand Wars commenced after the signing of that treaty (Treaty of Waitangi), which is when the Maoris were quite often beating the British. Only when more Imperial Troops were brought in, did the English start to turn the tide.

18?

come and buy me beer! :|

happy bday old man :wizzie:

forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure Cook landed around 1756.

about New Zealand history.

I figure this is something noone here bar me would know about, and it is a rather interesting subject. As I am supposed to be doing an assignment about it, I will leave a major update for right now, but give a veryveryvery general overview.

British explorer captain James Cook "discovered" New Zealand after dutch(?) explorer Abel Tasman found it roughly 100 years before and titled it New Zealand. (Zealand = holland location? will check.) The Ensuing attempted colonisation by the British empire was fraught with losses. the Maori (natives) put up one hell of a fight, inventing stuff like trench warfare, and passive resistance. British eventually win out by sheer numbers, and arguments about land ownership still going back and forth today.

Theres its very simply, like I said.

Monday I will begin a sort of simple timeline to ease your minds in , in the mean time, be happily expectant

ps. and if anyone does know something about NZ history, speak up

Every time I go to the beach, I burn. I come home red as a freaking sundried lobster. I can lather myself with litres upon litres of sunblock 5000, it doesn't make a single bit of difference, I'll burn regardless

 

And there are some places man was not meant to burn

 

I'll let you figure the rest out yourselves

I personally wouldn't care either way - would only depend if its a nice beach, if I felt like swimming etc. Got nothing to hide

*enters under a false alias*

hmmm

Well done, Tralla.

Look forward to more...

#thepen won't be quite the same

lumpen consoles an excommunicated Sleazy...

;P hehe

Anyway, congrats all, you deserved it.

yea, I'd have to go with total omnipitency(sp), or magnetos mangetism control, that would be cool

I honestly don't know.

im scared of some things, but I wouldn't call that a fear..., being utterly alone, I guess...though I do like solitude, just yea, like its been said, being utterly the last person around, etc.
