Alice In Wonderland - the book
"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else -- if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

(Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 2)

"It's always tea-time."
Drugs in sport will never be stamped out if the link with organised crime remains. Ban all sports betting now!

Boy - the movie
Speaking of drugs, the brilliant Kiwi movie "Boy" is on TV tomorrow night.
It is the highest grossing NZ movie ever.
And it is poignant. But very funny too.
Mr. Langston: People call me a dumb honky all the time. I don't go round punching them.
Boy: Why not?
Mr. Langston: Because they're usually children.
