I wouldn't have minded Mallard's argument if, as other people have pointed out, he applied it consistently to Labour's legislation as well.

Offside and yellow card are used in normal English.
Does yellow card have a usage that doesn't originate in sport?
And what about 'cross', 'bicycle kick', 'dribble', 'wall', 'striker', 'header', 'sweeper'. I presume soccer have team tactics like the 'offside trap', 'zone', 'man on man', 'give and go'.

After all, when you come back from the bar you need some where to rest the 3 jugs you're not currently drinking.
There's a reason that 'last drinks!' is plural.

Carpet!! In a pub??
It soaks up the beer and leaves that lovely dank smell (see Chicks a couple of years ago, the Crown Hotel, any other classy joint).

You do realise that standing takes up less room?
Grant didn't tell me I had to bring a handbag!

Re: "how" vs "why", it sounds a little but like you're phrasing the same question in different ways.
How is the journey, why is the reason.
In which case I'd be tempted to suggest that evolution doesn't have a 'why', just a bunch of 'hows' flowing backwards through time.

Where they have booked tables
Tables!! At a pub??
What is Dunedin coming to?
Tables are required so you can make people 'table suck' their spillage. No table it ends up on the floor and gets soaked into the carpet before you can persuade them that they really need to clean that up.
And as Paul points out, we're growing bigger. We're working on getting big enough so that we can book out the new multi-purpose stadium when its complete. (Paul will be outside boycotting).

Putting petrol in my car is not akin to supporting the US invasion of Iraq.
You can make some links though. Lots of companies that benefitted massively from the invasion seem to have sent a lot of money into the campaign coffers of various politicians.
More so if you buy from the various military support companies (Halliburton etc) than from your local petrol station though I think.

What, are they toaster-ovens or something?
There's a market for micro-chipping toaster ovens? My local vet would love to get in on that.

I have to own up and admit that the very brief "I'm a cow" song on an early Wiggles Video (Big Red Car possibly?) is one of my favourite songs ever.
