lest we forget the rule for averting apostrophe catastrophe* "poss ess for possession" except when it's its property of course : )
The greengrocer's apostrophe can cause catastrophe.

Some friends of ours were travelling through Queensland once and decided to stop for fruit at the first greengrocer's who could spell based on the signs by the side of the road.
800 miles later, they had a kebab.

Still not as classy as Orcon's "Were providing faster internet" ad. I think that one was even on TV.

During last week, the Academy cinema in Auckland was listing its screenings of "Trouble is My Business"*, as being about the experiences of the "Assistant Principle" at Aorere College. I suggested they change it and the Weekend Herald did have"Principal".
* A tremendously good NZ doco!!

Director Juliette Veber talks about Trouble is My Business in the first story in this Media7 clip.

Final two questions to the PM in this afternoon's press conference:
Have you had someone review the appointments Dr Worth made while he was minister? Answer: "No." Are you going to? Answer: "No."Never mind the last quarterly result. Let's focus on the next one.

Did that happen? I'll have to give our Great Blend sponsors a ribbing about that. Perhaps I'll make it a grammar-contingent deal ...

Yep, knew it. Doesn't like to hang around or talk about the losers. He's still the smiling assassin.

Umm, George Darroch is a Green Party activist.
Hitler was a vegetarian, you know.

I'll bet he uses a Mac.
Rush Limbaugh uses a Mac.
There was a funny little spell where the wingnuts were rushing around telling each other they'd sell their Apple shares in protest at Al Gore joining the board. Anyone who did, of course, would have racked up an EPIC INVESTMENT FAIL ...

True, but is Roger Douglas?

A vegetarian Friedmanite pig-farmer.
Now that would be something. -
It's one of those inherent contradictions in capitalism that my Marxist friends keep telling me about.

Did you say vegemite? With bloody cream cheese now I notice.

I think it was Denis Welch who once described "Sir's" moustache as bristling authoritatively and sending positive signals to the market. All gone now. But dugless? As the stern daddy counterpart to Lange's all-nurturing archetype, quite probably.

Surely did. I have an MSN log from 16/3/05 where I mentioned to a friend that they got outed by that week's ComputerWorld. So it's even stored in print, if you can find a copy.

It's all so dispiriting I need to go lie down on the couch and turn on the tube. I hope I'm not too late to see something hilarious with a twist of misogyny. Around about now, Paul Henry should be fluffing up the cushion for his pal John.
Not to do with John, but this seems more or less apropos here: complaint upheld against TVNZ for lack of balance. Surprise surprise.

Maybe the BSA is starting to twig that National TV doesn't meet the Broadcasting Acts requirements for balance. Having a former National candidate as the presenter would seem to require some sort of balancing per se, really. (Spot the difference between the Wikipedia biog of Paul Henry and the TVNZ version).
