1: afternoons wouldn't change
None taken.

Sorry, quiz time cancelled for the rest of the week. Your questions are too difficult and embarrassing. We are in a hurry to dismantle your accident compensation instead.
-
heh - oops sorry (I'm seldom listening later in the day) .... but maybe if you get a chance you could call him on his appropriation of "critical mass"

The answer to number 2 is the bottle.
Showgirls is the answer to all other questions.I'm fairly sure that, in these troubled times, the bottle is the only answer.
-
Ah, the National Party: "Keeping New Zealand safe for corporate greed"
-
Sue,
1. i would cry

3. what lucy said

Aha so that's why my 6 month old went off the breast. The news was getting him down.

2) My wife suggests you'd be paying for jugs, not glasses or bottles.

1. Jim Mora would be on Morning Report, Nine to Noon and Afternoons.
2. Bottle, but there would be more than one.
3. A well heeled gent striding down Lambton Quay with his hand in your pocket.
4. He's going to rent a campervan and chuck the bikes in so the kids can ride the cycle paths the length of NZ.
5. Who cares. The NZ public love Mr Key. -
1. ... It would be the sadest radio.
2. The ministerial card should entitle you to be bottled.
3. A block of unobtanium six feet under.
4. P.M. means "I really have managed to hide most of my assets off shore, are you smart like me?"
5. There is no one, even his son didn't want them. -
If anyone's looking for the Thribb I just did about Phil Heatley, I've taken it down. Changed my mind, didn't like it. (Family is not a fair target, and you could read it that way.) Craig and Paul, feel free to restate your comments.
-
Oh, I thought you were perfectly in order snarking Heatley but agree it's always good form to leave the family out of it.
Phil is genuinely a nice guy and he doesn't deserve to be double bunking with Philip Field. Still, pretty epic judgement fail for a Minister of the Crown.
-
My offering had been the following (fortunately still available on a cached page):
When Phil tried to fudge his expenses
'coz just wine and no food dulls the senses
Key's first little scandal
Became too hot to handle
Now the minister's on the back benches -
Master Chef - Parliament
The long hot simmer...
If you can't stand the Heatley
get out of the kitchen...yellow card, red card,
ya wouldn't credit it card
Plonkers plonk - $175
Road trip - $1000
Currying favour with your credit card...
Priceless! -

Just from the news story on stuff, it didn't seem like resign as minister material to me, but maybe they're looking to not give the opposition any traction.
-
In any case, the amount of money involved is a secondary issue. The primary issue is about "do as I say, not as I do", after making noises about pledge card overspending.
Still, Sir Roger's "entitlement" is the big Daddy of the lot.

Family is not a fair target
I'd add that lack of family is not a fair target either. I bet Helen Clark doesn't miss being snarked at because of her lack of descendants.
-
It'd cause much the same reaction from me as this week's Listener cover did
That was the "Why are Christchurch women dying" cover? Haven't read the article yet, but I presume it shows no proof in terms of statistical evidence that Christchurch women are more at risk of murder than any other women in New Zealand, but merely conflates a series of recent events into a sensationalist story?

I can't actually bring myself to read it. I don't need extra sources of rage this week. But it's not just the headline, it's the fact that it sits next to a shiny red stiletto. Why the shoe? It's an obviously loaded, and completely unnecessary, image.
Also, "Why are so Many Christchurch Women Brutally Murdered?". My daughter read it and laughed, she thought it must be a joke.
-
The article isn't actually that awful - it says that Christchurch women aren't actually dying at any greater rate than anywhere else in the country but that we tend to get more odd ones that make the news rather than domestic incidents that don't make the media and mentions that the stats are skewed by us having some large prisons from which people get released into Chch no matter where they originated from.
-

Did it provide any proof that these releases added to the crime figures (i.e. "these murders were perpetrated by people recently released from the prisons around Christchurch"), or was it just something to throw in there? Suppose I should really read it myself and find out :)

Because one of the murdered women was a prostitute, and everyone knows only prostitutes wear stilettos?

The moment I spotted that cover, the words "uncovered meat" immediately sprang to mind.
