Thanks for the update on current research on the convergence between harm prevention and development of suburban shopping zones. Are you aware if the researchers are looking for new fields of research?

If so, might I recommend an examination of whether or not having half a dozen bookies on every…

St Bob knows your innermost desires...
By forswearing the Press you'll also miss this:
Even though us ratepayers didn't know it, we have been pining, nay, gagging for a combined centre for our hallowed provincial musical institutions.
Enter St Bob who has in one fell swoop put an end to…

That is a sacrifice I will just have to make then. But I will have to take a look out the window now to see if I can spot any of them.

But forswearing the Press means you'll miss out on all the really vital stuff, like the big upsurge in the night-crawling of the restless dead since the earthquake.

If Martin "curtain-twitcher-in-chief" Van Beynen's fawning drivel-piece on the Clinton visit is any indication of the mood of the local media,

I can continue to feel justified in my refusal to read that particular paper. My partner read parts of that article out to me whilst we were out having…

Bob "sleeves rolled up" Parker (or his keeper Tony Marryatt) has now decided that he can't handle his day-to-day affairs and he needs an executive manager

And he'll no doubt not be the last provincial Mayor to aspire to Auckland's new resourced Mayoral office. So he feels more important.

He was a cheap B'stard. He got tap water and turned it into wine.

He walked all over the stuff first!!!

Bob, if you can't do the job, get out of the kitchen! – we don't need another cook!

BOB: – THIS IS YOUR LIFE!!!!!

Bob, if you can't do the job, get out of the kitchen!

But all the job entails these days is turning up to eat muffins.

– we don't need another cook!

True, we already have the ditzy faux-celebrity "mayoress". How the fuck did this happen? If Martin "curtain-twitcher-in-chief" Van Beynen's…

Liqueur is worse than le melody...

A new study by a Christchurch research unit has proven conclusively that the rising number of liquor outlets is having a beneficial effect on neighbourhoods and communities, and have more cost benefits for the taxpayer.

Coupled with a constant barrage of Classical music, the…

WWJD?

What Would Jesus Drink?

He was a cheap B'stard. He got tap water and turned it into wine.

Now the local Priest has been supplying wine to kids on Sunday mornings for years, for free!

The rest I loved (and +1 for the Eastes to hit the screen) but "the handicapped" is *so* last century, man.

I think we should start a fund to help Griffin realise he needs to start writing Mine For Me right now, 'coz it sounds epic!

Taking this a step further why not make every home a liquor outlet.

I mean even walking/driving to my local liquor outlet runs the risk of a bit of biffo or anti social behavior.

CHRIST also says that in the interests of promoting responsible home binge-drinking of alcohol a maximum-pricing regime should be introduced, with the aim of further reducing prices.

"Our study shows that RTDs, beer, wine and spirits should be made cheaper. It's outrageous that RTDs should be more than $1 a…

You're taking the piss.

rising number of cheap liquor outlets

The number of "look alike" suburban outlets being opened is rather striking I have to agree. I wonder who is funding them? Hmmm.....I wonder how many we can get installed before the end of the RWC? Hmmm....
