] Date Posted: 15:59:42 11/23/04 Tue In reply to: Dave (UK) 's message, "Do we have any NZ members yet?" on 14:26:24 11/23/04 Tue I've raised it with a few of Kiwis, and have had mixed responses. One woman, whom I suspect of being a whale-hugging Kiwi of the sort who only calls New Zealand "Aro Te Aroa" or whatever it is, hit the roof and started talking about the massacre of the Borioboola-Ga Tribe or some such thing and concluded that any connection with Britain was best forgotten. Another said that it was a good idea, provided that it was led by the USA. And another - my personal favourite - shrugged and said that a federal union of English-speaking countries was probably inevitable anyway, and therefore saw no reason to do anything about it, so gizza beer, mate, and we'll get on with this bun-fight and not pack a wobbly about it, etc... I suppose that, so long as New Zealanders show any tendency to vote for that Clarke disaster, not much headway will be made there. But I wonder how many FCS members there are in total these days? Any idea? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
