Sometimes NZ makes me proud...

... at other times, I fear we may be losing it a little bit:

For reference - Countdown is a supermarket running a promotion using these little plastic dominos with cartoon characters printed on them. Obviously it is a way to entice the young ones to pester mum and dad to go to them instead of a different supermarket. I'm relatively confident they aren't trying to spread a popular form of gambling.

Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Best of luck in the future!
Our Woolworth's went belly up in the 90's, hope yours fares better

On no, not swearing! Collapse of Western Civilization imminent!



It was more the shoving and swearing at kids by adults over a childs toy that was getting my goat :)

ever wonder why the Countdown logo looks a bit like a W?
Off topic, but I actually quite like that logo, I think it's a nice bit of design. It looks a bit like a W for Woolworths, as well as a bit like the C & D for Countdown, while still primarily looking like a pumpkin or similar vegetable. I suspect that sort of three-in-one interpretation is a bit harder to pull off than it seems, at least without it looking silly.

Speaking of design with a vague NZ link - what are your thoughts on the random Triangle flag doing the rounds at the moment?

I hate to say this, but I actually quite like it.

It's the lesser of 5 evils, anyway.
