    there seems to be an anomoly in the Keo IT Dept.

    So the posts will edit out the ‘filth’

    and yet you look at the column on the side ‘Recent Comments’ and its printed in full.

    for eg we can see Origami has requested “no h0m0″

    which must mean he has a ball in each camp.

    @Black Panther(Black Panther)-5: lol i see that yes. No h o m o is referenced when you say something like “s c r e w you man” or as my example above “bang these pooftahs” to prevent your comments from getting taking out of context. I think it was coined by Lil Wayne or Cam’ron and Juelz Santana from the Dipset crew.

    @iori Yagami(iori Yagami)-6:

    You must have been born in the 80′s

    Ian ‘Kirky’ Kirkpatrick was a Legend of NZ rugby in 60/70′s, a loose-fwd behemoth carrying similar status to what McCaw does today. He was certainly 1 of my childhood heroes.

    Famous names tend to get selected in NZ teams from an early age, irrespective of their actual skills and contending players. Im guessing young McCaw Jnr wont have any problems turning out for the Roller Mills teams of the future (yes, thats right, any sane AB Legend dreams of settling in Counties).

    @Black Panther(Black Panther)-8: Yip 87 to be exact. Ok cool. What happen to that Hobbs kid that played for the Blues….I think he is also a son of a former All Black.

    yeah, son of an AB Capt, Jock, no less.

    no idea where he went. Not many reputations survive a stint with the Blues tho.
