Hard News: A cog in the Mediaworks machine, in reply to Russell Brown,
Yes indeed. I can what he meant to say ie. forging links with sources. It's just that those two missing words have the unfortunate consequence of implying that her practice is fraudulent, or per James' reading of it, at best manipulative.

She is very good at her job, forging sources prepared to leak her information.
Forging! sources. I was gobsmacked at that, and I wondered for a moment if you had perhaps mistyped it, Russell. But those are exactly the words printed in the column.
Did Simon Day really mean to say that she just makes things up?

Up Front: Stand for... Something, in reply to ,
I absolutely assumed that it was something your ever fertile mind had come up with.
I think I might just start spreading it on my networks anyway….

It's a pony tail, especially for Mr Key.

Steven, can we spread this image far and wide? Both my husband and my eldest daughter burst out laughing when they saw it.
Or am I totally out-of-touch and it's already spreading like mad on Twitter?

I love it, Steven! Very, very clever.

Homemade burgers are the best. Fry some diced onions lightly, with added garlic, herbs, salt, whatever you fancy. Let them cool while you mix up mince, a beaten egg, maybe some breadcrumbs, maybe a little flour, Worcestershire sauce, a dash of tomato sauce. Add the cooled onions with the oil you cooked them in. Shape the mince mix into patties and fry gently.
But here's the cunning bit. Have all your burger makings lined up ready on the bench, including lightly toasted buns, and invite your fussy daughters to assemble their own burgers with whatever fillings they fancy. Serve with homemade ovenbaked rosemary potato wedges on the side, or if you're in a rush because you've been working late and you've got a meeting to go to, then cheat with Watties or McCains fries, or even better, send the kids around to the local chippie while you're cooking the patties.
Keeps absolutely everyone in my house happy.

Capture: Steal Magnolia, in reply to ,
iPhone, actually, but I guess the same issues apply. Alternatively, I'd go with photographer incompetence as a plausible explanation. :-)

Because of reasons, I spent days tramping around the streets of Taumarunui around about this time last year. The magnolias were magnificent.
Apparently they were also growing sideways. I have no idea how to fix that, I'm sorry.

Polity: In defence of the centre, in reply to Sacha,
It was from July this year. I saw it on a Green friend's FB page. I've googled the quote, and it comes from a July 2015 press release.
Labour and National too afraid to do what’s needed to stop rising house prices
