    Oooo, so excited at possibly being first I've dried up.

    We do tend to forget that those of us in countries with support structures won't suffer nearly as much...

    ...and mildly excited at being second.

    Welcome back Keith. You have been missed 'round these parts.

    More.

    Someone should pay Keith handsomely for being Keith.

    Happy Nu Year, and welcome back once again.

    This pretty much says everything about world financial events...

  • Paul Robeson,

    Hah! I just missed this fun and games last year, when so many got trapped at the train station there by the snow storms.

    Come on Keith, be honest, your story is nothing compared to those who faithfully commute by rail in Auckland. You could have mentioned that Hong Kong was only a 2 hour rail trip back the way you came!

    keep blogging us.

  • Paul Robeson,

    I have to picture your image of the lady slumped over the bag, and then put that 10 million times over to get the point...

    though I wonder how many were actually at Guangzhou when you arrived. 10 million would be near enough the whole city. China, you can't do it with numbers cause you'll fry your circuits, and words aren't that much better.

    That DPF piece is not very good.

    That DPF piece is not very good.

    He made a series of tendentious it's-all-Labour's-fault posts that, frankly, did not do his credentials as a commentator any good.

    Frankly, I've not been impressed by quality of thinking or commentary around the Global Economic Crisis (tm) period. But I'll say this: The Herald couldn't have picked a worse time to fire Colin James, who I often disagree with but is provocative in the best sense of the word.

  • Raymond A Francis,

    Don't talk to me about queues
    Tried to contact the Inland Revenue yesterday, after much buggering around entering numbers etc was told there is a 45 minute wait

    Um, seriously? Seriously?

    Ah well, *good*, I say. It's gotta hit rock bottom before it starts getting better. Or dies. Either/or.
