"I agree" button
Lately we seem to have developed an informal "+1" custom.
Which just happens to be exactly what Google are calling their new equivalent of Facebook's Like button/data-harvesting service.

rural South Island
You're Nelson way, though, aren't you? Expect the local musical soup to be a bit different than Southland, say.

betrayed the principles of solidarity
Apparently wanting movements or organisations to be actually competent is not acting in their interests. Best never challenge the poor dears. If only some of the tunnel-vision tosspots could see how patronising that is - and really very unsupportive in a more mature sense.

What is depressing is that most of his friends seem to like '80s power ballads (Bon Jovi, Poison etc...) and ACDC. WTF is up with that?
Shudder. Caught a few minutes of Mannequin on telly the other night and it reinforced again how utterly crap most commercial 80s music was. I'm sure there are some who find the genre just wonderful. So long as they keep it well away from me..

Sadly that's still regarded as being class traitors by some.

Has Labour said why they didn't support his amendment?
Check their own blog and tell us what you think they're saying. I'm unclear beyond some general mumble about compromise. They're drawing a fair caning about it.
