She ''fancied'' Cullen and asked him for money and cigarettes but he had none. Jokingly Hoffman then asked the politician ''for five dollars for a f**k'', and told him there was an ATM machine close-by to speed up the transaction.

had to laugh at this!

The Diplomatic Protection Squad asked Tizard whether Hoffman was a danger and wanted her full name. ''Like the queen, she's just got one name,'' Tizard told officers.

Uhh, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha not mean anything to these people?!

[Martli]

Good fucking riddance.

It's been Windsor since they went to war with Germany in 1917.

[Hamtown Dave]

Errrr.... The Queen doesn't have a last name, it's kinda her thing. Kinda like how Kate Middleton is now Catherine, Duchess of Someshit. Didn't you guys watch the wedding?

[quote]Karangahape Road Business Association head Edward Bennett said Hoffman would be missed by those who travel the famous street each day. He said Hoffman was ''like a stone in the river, time and events flowed around her'' but she remained a constant.

''All around the world one of the things people remember about K Rd was Margaret.''

Bennett said it was important people like Hoffman were guaranteed ''freedom of public places'' in years to come.[/quote]

You don't hear a business association spokesperson say stuff like that very often- in Wellington or Christchurch they want to disappear anyone a bit funny looking or acting, in case the punters get scared. Think Prenderghastly's attitude- if she'd been able to poison Blanketman at the same time she poisoned the pigeons she would have. Kudos to K Rd business association.

when???

[General Mutante]

Good fucking riddance.

*yawn*

Yes, we all know your general disregard for anyone who you see as useless.

We also know your hard on for the Axis powers despite the fact that your lot were a bunch of greasy wops who were shit at war and all ran away and changed sides once the Allies closed in on you and proceeded to kick your arses all the way back to your pasta presses.

Pride.

[FC]

Never saw her, but she does kind of sound like a bitch. At least blanket man is quite pleasant, and goldie does mean raps.

[Skoll]

Hahaha.

Don't know or care who she is. Seems weird she's an "icon" of sorts.

[Maleficent]

yeh she was a bitch, but she was K Rd's bitch and I think they're gonna miss her.

[Tartanperil]

Damn, I read this thread as r.i.p. margret thatcher.

Wishful thinking I suspect

Nail on the head.

[Dennis from Accounts]

she looks rough as guts, none for me thanks

Feel free to call me a sheep shagging haystack burning porridge eater anytime you want too. If I'm anything I'm fair.

[Fiction & Falsehood]

it fucks me off when people go on about how nice fuckwits were when they die(dont know anything about mags) it cheapens the real expressions of regret from real humans when one of our number goes under.

fucking plastic fucks.

[bruce wayne]

dam that`s sad news.....where will i get a headjob for a 6 month old 1/4 bottle of whisky now??

[Rude Mike]

horrible woman, wonderful memories

[kimura]

Yep, R.I.P.

Upon hearing of her passing I thought that at least people can now sit on that chair.
Actualy not, as it seems the K'road biz group wants to immortalise Aucklands own Mother Theresea in bronze in the form of a life size Margaret, sitting on her old favourite chair.

Couldn't they just put a bronze plate on the chair with her name on it? of a statue of her next to the chair? Standing? FFS

[Skoll]

Fucking ridiculous. How is she anything like Mother Theresa?

[Phlegethon]

Fucking ridiculous. How is she anything like Mother Theresa?

i believe it was sarcasm

[General Mutante]

I heard her hand jobs could cure AIDS and leprosy.

[Nathanael]

As someone who lived on k rd for a while she was never a pain. All you got was a mumbled fuck off when you didn't give her a smoke. Hardly anything to complain about.

[kimura]

Not having this city soul icon for the RWC is a bit of a worry, tourists from around the world will be here and want to meet aucklands favourite character.

This is going to be just like the indian commonwealth games.

[Hipster_Faggot]

She was an utter pain to me. When I was 15/16 me and a friend were muttering about the price per gram of substances on Queen street one morning on the way to K Rd. She was right behind us and started yelling GO STRAIGHT TO THE PEN, pointing in random directions and clawed us whenever we didn't stop walking away from her. Rather than confront the old harpy we assumed she'd give up if we went into a store... nope. She tried to get onto the bus to Grey Lynn we were catching but the bus driver wasn't too keen on giving her a free ride after yelling through the queue. She's like a Dalek or something. In hindsight I guess she was doing her bit for the community in the only way she knew how.

[dustbinflowers]

Nah, she was having a bit of fun freaking you out I reckon, for her own amusement.

If you come across in real life like you do on here, ie; as the kind of annoying wet behind the ears cunt who deserves to be tormented on general principle until you grow a pair, then that's probably why.

She's way less annoying than the 18-21 year old beige-lynn kids posting sanctimonious tributes to her all over the internet.

[General Mutante]

That too. Although I still maintain that her spittle could cure syphilis. I should know.

Yeah she was a long lost Plantagenet, her spittle had thaumaturcial properties.
