Maori king, what bullshit! never heard of him. every one knows Ant is the true Maori king !
As the Moog knows, or rather his ghost does,there is not much love lost between the Maori and Pacific islanders. they are both Polynesian that's all.
I remember taking one of our work crew to a party at the princess gate hotel in Rotorua many years ago it had a Pacific islander amongst the crew. there were quite a number of Maoris at the party. I made the mistake of thinking the are all Polynesians, they are but they are from totally different tribes and the don't play well together.
There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking
(Rotorua x smells of sulphur) = (Ant Robertson x smells of sulphur)
Therefore divide both sides by smells of sulphur
Ant Robertson is from Rotorua.
QED
No doubt Jonah was the first super star of Rugby Union and an All Black that instilled awe and fear in those who had to line up against him.
Is he a Maori? He is of Tongan descent.
My son in law's brother was a Canadian International Rugby Player. Played against Jonah quite often on the International sevens format Has some amusing stories!
Hahaha....Jonah is about a Maori as you Willy
I too had rather assumed that all Polynesians would get on ok together , but as soon as Wasabi said it, it occured to me that they probably don't. And although Auckland is the world's biggest home for Pacific Islanders, there are probably cliques, and Maori don't necessarily like Tongans and Samoans.
And once Melanesian Fijians and Noumeans are in the mix too, I expect it complicates more.
Why would anyone assume they do?
Other than nicely roasted in a hungi.
Do Thais like Cambos or Burmese or Lao?
not much love lost between these cuzzies either. Cook Islanders seem to be the least warlike of the SW Polynesians, now that the Moriori have been consigned to history.Tongans and Samoans
I saw this and wonder why ming mong has a fascination with my arse, hes obliviously a bit bent cause he had poofs poodle in his avatar, probably MM hails from oxford st Darlinghurst, queer center for ozzies.
Correction, MM has changed his avatar, taken his little poodle out.
Jonah is definitely Tongan extract, though born in NZ
Fijians (Micronesians) Tongans and Samoans (Polynesians) Hate each other
In the past few years, that's been the trouble with the Auckland Blues rugby team, although they are trying to fix this.
Cook Islanders are very similar to Maori.
Auckland is the biggest pacific Island city in the world. Used to be funny when Marmite used to give us a hard time of who our rugby team was made up of, but has no idea about the demographics of the country....
The so called Maori King, was a fcuking truck driver.He's about as bright as a ten pound pom
Yep, and Suva had plenty of them all. The Saturday night fights were fun.Originally Posted by Little Chuchok
They all disliked the Fijian Indians too- but never deemed them worthy to brawl with.
Anyway Willy, you really didn't miss much.
Have a nice cuppa tea instead.
Fijians like the AB's Joe Rokocoko are Melanesians (Black Islanders), along with PNG, the Solomons and Vanuatu, while Lomu's Tonga is in Polynesia (Many Islands), as is Samoa and NZ and most of the Pacific Islands below the equator. Above that is Micronesia (Small Islands), including Kiribati, Nauru and Marshall Islands.
Polynesians supposedly came from SW China, Taiwan mixing with Melanesians from Africa and S India.
I reckon the Polynesians, (racist lot), both Maori and Tongan hate the fwk out of the Fijians more than any other Pacific peoples,....because Fijians are taller and smarter and,........darker, a different line of people more related to Aborigines and PNG tribals.
I thought it was a fair enough explanation.
Anyway having Willy flying around the world on taxpayers money is a complete and utter farce. WTF is a meeting between these two blokes going to achieve.
Wouldn't it better for him to be back home with his wife and son contributing to the English economy by doing a proper 9 to 5 job?
I believe the Queen places great faith in the commonwealth and its benign civilising effect on the former colonies.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
This trip is all about William engaging with the future responsibilities he will inherit. I suspect by the time he becomes King the world will be a very different place, and his place in it will be much less relevant. If he understands the history he will be better equipped for the future.
The value of the commonwealth may well be an asset in an increasingly divided and discordant world. Anything that brings people closer and offers a common bond will be worth maintaining.
Where else can he get decent lamb chops? (Apart from a Welsh farmers market of course).
Heart of Gold and a Knob of butter.
^ Fair point Chas but as soon as the Queen passes away the last fragile threads of the Commonwealth will disintegrate.
The only reason Australia have not formerly split is because of the queen and the love and respect a lot of Aussies still have for her.
Your hope that a solid Empire re-unification could happen is a nice one but I am afraid is impossible.
Let's face it England, and moreover the United Kingdom as a whole have their own problems to sort out without having to take on any other woes.
I still remain a fan of the Queen but not of royalty and monarchy.
An outdated ancient practice that is dead and should be buried.
IMHO the commonwealth is the only part of the monarchy worth hanging on to. I don't expect it to become a re-unified empire, just that all those historical connections backed by the stabilising influence of the monarchy could help the commonwealth countries towards a better ubderstanding.
You are correct about the Queen and I fear for the nation when Charles takes over, but the fact remains the commonwealth has the potential to keep people together for mutual benefit. Even when countries like Australia decide to go republic, the strength of the commonwealth bond will remain.
If the historical connections were of no importance how come we have such great sporting connections throughout the old empire. Cricket and Rugby rivalries might never have developed. How bad would the world be then. It connects so many different cultures, from the West Indies and South Africa to India and Australasia.
It really is the only part of the monarchy worth saving.
Countries are setting up bilateral agreements ranging from economic to military co-operations.
Once again I feel very strongly about the fact that the spirit of the Commonwealth has been long dead and buried and people are still clutching at straws.
Australia will always have close ties with Britain no doubt but not as strong as their relationship with the United States and I fear that bond will only get stronger.
And then you go back and read my posts and I was the first one to call BS on the ABs nicking Islanders. Nice try, but no cigar...Originally Posted by Little Chuchok
