Fark. How does that youtube embedding work again?

On the subject of viral ads it is obvious that my friends over at Silverstripe are not PA readers. No other explanation for their fine "pants optional" effort not appearing on this thread:

Wellywood meets SiliconWelly (we do love our wellies).

"Excuse me, please and thank you".
The still sorely missed Mel's Diner in Berhampore did a great meal but was also a hang out for big biker chaps (Satan's Slaves HQ just down the road).
Pregnant GF and were I just about to tuck into our iron filled burgers when one BBC lights up a cigar. To this day I don't know how I did it but I used Craig's exact words. After a pregnant pause was treated to a "no worries mate" and the cigar being stubbed out.

And if those things are being paid for by adding to our pretty worrisome levels of personal debt (and with the consequences that flow on when people can't pay it off) then we've one hell of an elephant in the room. Would you agree?
To a point. That's why the Cullen Fund and KiwiSaver are pretty important to our economy in the medium term. Two policies that will hopefully survive many changes in Government.
But the other point is that whilst it is obvious food and petrol prices are up it is not obvious that people are worse of than, say, 10 years ago. Maybe than 6 months ago but the long term trend is still steady improvement.
Again, I hope that trend survives many changes in Government and see no reason for it not to, unless someone cocks up badly.

Talking of "The Mood" Canadians are up in arms over their iPhone pricing models. At a glance they look like something NZers can only dream of.
From the point of view of this Canadian, it seems like Rogers is gouging its customers because it can. This is a company that has always stuck its customers with additional system access fees and other nickel and dime charges. And people are fed up.
Best comment:
ha!
so you haven't seen the New Zealand plans then? Hope they provide vaseline with it..I would note that Apple are also pretty silent on the Voda deal. If these things do sell like hot cakes then, I'm sorry, I don't believe anyone who says we are going through hard times.

I must say, 08Wire, apart from the clever name it's a dog of a site. I with Lance Wiggs on that.
Doesn't add much value to the political debate either.

Ah, found it here

Craig, I presume you have mis-posted a link. The only quote I can find from I/S in that thread is:
Hey, I explore obscure bills that will pass too - and some of those are things people should really be paying attention to.
-
you just happen to on the other side of the political fence to me, thus you inspire more passion in my replies :)
Well, I don't thank that is always the issue. Trying to pin the Craig down whilst at the same time trying to filter the constant stream of invective can be tricky.

now the great sign of John Key’s lack of ethics is, well, he behaved in an ethical manner?
Your words not mine. I never said JK behaved unethically, mostly because I don't believe he has. Another of your traits is to put words in folks' mouths that were never said/written. All I have said is that Labour's line of questioning is not the outrageous assault on humanity you make it out to be.
akes you sound a lot like the more rabid troglodyte homunculi over at DPF’s place.
Really? Not been there for a long while, I am guessing things must have improved a lot if that is the case.
If you're going to get this shrill
Er, right. You read your comment before hitting "Post Reply" did you?
your stroke risk is not my problem
and thanks for the death wish.
