Quite. So.
Brave use of "ontological", I might add.

Nat, I find reading David's articles is better your way. The mind has been known to blow.

No, I disagree with a previous poster. These articles are better than your dog training ones.
Next time you are sinking a quiet one with Al you might like to ask him whether his financephalograph has sprung a leak, or something.
Pretty sure the RBNZ still uses this technology for modeling our economy.
(Note - Bill Phillips is an unsung NZ icon, found out about him as a result of a wonderful talk given by Dr. Bollard a few years ago.)

On reflection I guess we have different expectations of our elected officials. I want people who have strong ethics in combination with a decent moral code of conduct.
I doubt it very much. I suspect the difference is expecting criticism to be fair, balanced and not quite so one sided.

The point I'm making is that as prime minister the buck stops with her.
Look, I'll go out on a limb for the pm of the day. If you credit her personally for every positive economic, social and sporting indicator/success of the last 7 years then maybe, just maybe you can blame her for the Rotorua police force behavior in the 1980s and Rickart's subsequent promotions. Or did those happen under a National government :-)

The poll on throng asks if "Will you use TVNZ ondemand?" and gives lots of "no" options.
Of course, the options that are missing are:
"No, because of the DRM." and
"No, because of sucky file formats".given the above...
"No, because the BBC is going to YouTube".
Otherwise, I would be a "yes".

"Oversaw his promotion several times" would be overstating the situation a great deal IMHO.
Correct. The one time she did get a say in his promotion she turned it down.
Attempts to blame this affair on Helen Clark are quite pitiful and smack of desperation in some quarters.

As well as being a West Ham fan (which automatically makes him a good bloke)
It probably also makes him a bloke who after this season's shenanigans by the Hammers, is crying into a warm pint of flat beer.
Ah, sport, sense the relief.

1993 - Lions Tour, Molly Malones. Post Maori match analysis with the entire Lions establishment (they'd overcome a 20 point HT deficit to win the game). Included a long drunken soliloquy aimed at the Hastings brothers' and an interesting urinal conversation with Stuart Barnes. I am sure they all remember it well as they followed my advice and won the Wellington test.
Only worth recording because I think that was the last time a rugby touring team actually went out on the town with supporters.
