Perhaps Jona should go live in a whale (though what self-respecting whale would swallow something so unpalatable).

I wonder if Mr. Kevin of Roberts would be interested in marketing my Sour Pakehas confectionery range? Vanilla and resentment flavoured!

Best first post ever!

I'm trying to picture them. Are they upright and cheerful like Eskimos? Or sort of cringing? With a chocolate chip on their shoulder?

Start with the outcome not the problem. Get past the slogans and buzzwords and get to the heart of the issue, the nub of the problem, the core of the argument – then you can blue-sky an idea.

Comedy gold.
And the scary thing is, Mr Saatchi probably does think…

And "Jona from Katikati" knows where s/he can stick the axes & blankets.

We have more than enough gobbledegook spoken on the National Radio morning news introduction.

This is suposed to be a democracy and this issue should not be decided by a bunch of polticians and beuracats. But by the people of New Zealand. I find it really amusing…
