  Only fools & horses had Batman funeral
Posted by: Lilith7 - 17-02-2022, 06:15 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

This is hilarious - a fan of the old Only fools & horses series had a funeral with a batman theme from the show's famous scene.
And what's more, a Robin Reliant pulled his hearse. Big Grin Big Grin

"His daughter and a friend ran ahead of it dressed as Batman and Robin, in a nod to an episode where Del Boy and Rodney ran through the streets in those costumes after their car broke down on their way to a party.

Mr Holloway's granddaughter Kaidie Holloway said: "It doesn't take the sadness away, but to be able to sit there and have a little giggle with your family and know that that's what grandad would have loved, it was perfect."

discussing the 1960s/70s counterculture, and its descendant, the 2022 convoy. As someone who was part of the 1970s experience, I found it informative.

  Idiot white supremacist Phillip Arps arrested
Posted by: Lilith7 - 14-02-2022, 04:26 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (17)

He was arrested in Picton, en route for Wellington in order to witness a 'public 'execution.' 

I don't often  enjoy schadenfreude at all - but in his case, I'll make an exception. It brightened my day considerably & I sincerely hope he gets a lengthy prison sentence; he's an evil twisted white supremacist who gave the impression he was happy about the terrorist  attack here.


https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/1...on-comment

"Christchurch man Philip Neville Arps, 47, was travelling up the country when he was arrested in Picton on Friday afternoon and charged with threatening to kill and using offensive language.

A charge sheet said Arps was at a BP petrol station in Linwood, Christchurch earlier that day, saying there was going to be a ÔÇ£public executionÔÇØ. ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve been promising it, IÔÇÖll see you in seven to 10 years,ÔÇØ he was quoted as saying on the charge sheet.
He was also accused of threatening to kill members of the public and police."
