Did anyone here run the Kiwi Kids Marathon? I didn't but my neighbours in the 90s did.

Also, state housing normally means they have the house to themselves. I'm not in a state house or owning, I'm stuck in a crowded boarding house with 10 other people. The group that I'm in always has the lowest satisfaction, I'll bet. Everyone is complaining about each other constantly, that's also how we make friends, by bitching constantly about "the indians" who never stop talking loudly, and complaining about the Chinese landlord ripping us off. I'd rather have a stable house that I don't share with others, like an apartment. NZ lives in the past. Can't believe we don't have apartments in the suburbs of christchurch yet..........
I've been looking for some old films to watch online and I'm looking at
- On The Beach (1959)
- Patton (1970)
- The Great Escape (1963)
- The Guns of Navarone (1961)
Those last two inspired parts of the video game series, Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid 3, a lot of films get mentioned by characters throughout the game.
On The Beach is one I heard about because Alex Jones was talking about nuclear war earlier this year, and he showed a scene from that particular film. There's a newer version of On The Beach but I'd always go for the original, or better, read the novel it's based on.
Recently I watched 2 old Soviet films
- Amphibian Man (1961)
- Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle (1973)
Some links
The Guns Of Navarone (this one costs $ on YouTube)
Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle, black and white version
Only 'Old Men' Are Going To Battle, colourised in 2009
It's disappointing that many films are 48 hour DRM'd and cost $4 or $6 despite not being restored
but...

Got to get me some novels too.
Don't forget to heckle them and send some hate mail to your local council. I'm doing my part, I hope you're doing yours ;-)
