Rainton might be dead, but his friends aren't.
The first rule of Fight Club is ...

that's the song I was thinking of, Steve! (I should have googled RIU myself but I thought that would be cheating).
</sidebar> Interesting that Little Richard is singing "gonna RIU, gonna ball tonite" since 'ball' was slang of the day for 'f@ck'. No such blatant slang in today's modern music??

Rainton Haistie.

I brought Murray around to my flat and stuck on Orange Juice's You Can't Hide Your Love Forever album: the one with the wonky version of Al Green's 'L.O.V.E.', and much beloved of John Campbell.
Little did I know that Murray, as a genuine soul fan, loathed the record
Are you dissing John Campbell?? (heh heh) And can you confirm that RIU did get it's name from Orange Juice's Rip It Up (and start again). I thought I knew but knowing Murray (I don't actually!) there's probably also some old Chuck Berry-type song out there called (Gonna) Rip It Up or similar.

I've had a lot of conversations over the last three plus years about how Wellington is a geat sucking leech squatting on the head of Auckland, and giving little in return. :)
You mean like this? :)
Moderator's note: took out a non-worksafe and somewhat gratuitous link to a tacky forum post. Sorry I/O, but jeez ...
Amusingly, that's how much of the rest of the country sees Auckland, sucking on the rest of us :)
Y'know, sometimes these comments really piss me off. To the point that I fantasize about annexing Auckland, sealing the borders, and declaring ourselves a sovereign state. You guys can sell us your produce and your power and then hopefully everyone will be happy. And in 10 years time we'll come over and buy your houses for $30,000 to store our crap in. :|

"National party leader caught lying in attempts to smear journalist"
Well, that's one way of spinning it. A spin to the left of course ...
I read Key's denial of what Audrey Young published not as a 'smear' but as an attempt to clarify. Unfortunately for Key his memory of events was not supported by the 3 journos present or of Young's tape recording. Key would have known there were 3 reporters present and a tape recorder waved under his nose; so he perhaps should have checked with them first before releasing that wrong statement.
I think "Key puts foot in mouth" or "Key shoots self in foot" would be fairer than "Key caught lying".
Maybe Polly's should start doing what Celebrities/Rock Stars do when interviewed -- have their own tape recorder running too, so they can later check what was said vs what was quoted. It might have saved Keys from this embarrassment.

Seriously, if the Aussies want to play hardball over our apple exports why are we so hellbent on changing our laws to kowtow to their idea of uniformity on trans-Tasman trade rules.

Actually, when I clicked on 'original blog entry' (for this thread) up popped RB's blog about World selling porn T-shirts for toddlers. And a most interesting debate about porn. Took 10 minutes to read it all ...
It provided me with a fascinating insight to some of the regular posters here on PA ...
