On being the Swedes of the South Pacific
this will be a relatively infrequent exercise I expect. Still its good to be here. This blog will from time to time allow me to vent various bits of spleen about life and politics in unzud, land of the wrong white male, and home to those well known "swedes" of the southern hemisphere the New Zealand Labour Party and its humourless minions.
Considering NZ as the Swedes of the South Pacific is really quite laughable, not least because NZ already has a series of cultural traditions surrounding the mighty swede, best prepared in a mutton pie, but also eaten raw as a sign of manhood at various Southern university parties. That is when its not being used as cheap stockfood.
So, New Zealand the flavourless stockfood vegetable, i guess its better than a rather stringy flightless bird that has to be casseroled for hours to get any decent flavour out of it?
