Brian Connell is another former National MP you should probably excuse from that duty.

Oh, thanks... another unrepressed memory. Next Christmas, can't you give me the traditional arse-ugly matching sock and tie set instead? :)

Honestly, I wouldn't let Brian Neeson feed my cat while on vacation

Brian Connell is another former National MP you should probably excuse from that duty.

Should have happened a long time ago, and part of me wishes…

A conspiracy theory? Craig will probably correct me. But unless someone else can offer me a coherent reason why National and ACT are foisting someone who hates human rights on the population, it's the one I'm going to go with.

I've got something for you, and it's not exactly new:…

Yeah, I mean, okay, Jacquie Grant will be using him as a footstool inside of a week, but I can't see any scenario that justifies this appointment that isn't an attempt to nobble the Tribunal from the inside.

I honestly have to say that I know too little about the…

Haven't you got an Apple? ;-)

One on the desk, one on my lap and a bunch ripening on the tree.

Gee, I wish my computer could do all those things ;)

And mind that crack in the pavement

None of that around here, cobber. Waikato Draught is our drug of choice.

A very funny Media 7 last evening, which I watched before I fetched my hat and coat and went out.

My partner was briefly unable to understand why, when Russell said he was going to show us his favourite newsreader, I clapped and squeed. He gets it now.

Jacquie Grant will be using him as a footstool inside of a week

Praying for a documentary crew..

Yeah, I mean, okay, Jacquie Grant will be using him as a footstool inside of a week, but I can't see any scenario that…

Which: ewww.

Forget about coming up with new domain names, I think that should be the prefix of so much www content.

Human Rights Review Tribunal.

Cheers. I had a funny feeling I was going to cock something up today.

the First Against the Wall When the Big Gay Revolution Comes Award for Services to Bigotry goes to Simon Power, for appointing Brian Neeson to the Human Rights Commission.

Human Rights Review Tribunal. The HRC promotes and mediates, the HRRT judges.
