  • Hard News: Still crazy after all these years,

    Fairplay and all, whats good for a gander is also good for getting your own goose cooked.I'd like to see pics of these darlings of investigative journalism. I'd like to see what they were wearing, hear what their favourite perfume is and what makes a woman not decide to pull a guy up about jerking off in front of them ?

    There's going to be some women with numbers up to 15 coming along to rough you up soon.

  • Field Theory: And like that, it's gone,

    There were too many athletes in the finals who seemed to slow down early, sliding across the line rather than giving it everything. Many of them were saving something in reserve for other events, and this indicates to me that there is a lack of sufficient competition to see people forced to become true specialists in particular distances. (as compared to swimming or running, for example).

    That sounds exactly like running or swimming. The top competitors tend to do exactly that in their heats during the summer olympics.

    If you didn't actually watch the screen you could be excused to think that Finland and Slovakia were never in possession of the puck.

    Ironically, the Canadian team has just as many tricky names. Toews sounds nothing like it's written. And half of them are froggy names a'how.

    Because people should have the right to enrol in classes while at prison and not have their tutors provide details of their behaviour to the general public.

    Contrary to how the media treat him, he's not actually public property. He has a right to privacy just as much as any one else.

    I did a few workshops in Kingslea for Bailey and others a good while back

    This doesn't seem to me to be a story that should be shared. Prisoners have a right to privacy in workshops as much as anyone don't they?

    The sky hockey was painful, having to sit through the commentator who seemed to be British, and just making up hockey terms as he went along. I have to wonder why they couldn't have got the NBC or another north american feed.

    It's English, making sense is optional ;)

    I stopped watching the crowd goes wild on ice.

    An hour long daily highlights of all the sports, including the NZ competitors would have been good. The dribble between their various commentators interspersed with occasional clips of sports, not so much.

    Maybe it would have worked better if it had been the pulp sport guys, but wrong channel.

    A progressive think tank? It's almost a triple oxymoron, considering what tanks typically do, blindly rushing in, dealing out moderate slaughter, and keeping everyone off the real damage dealers and the supply lines.

    I think that 'think tank' relates more to a container, not an armoured vehicle.

  • Legal Beagle: All is Forgiven, or: The…,

    Graeme, I meant editorials of the major dailies around election time. In 1987 they were supportive of Labour, not surprisingly, but very rarely since.

    1987 Labour were left wing?

    Turns out the McGillicuddys disappeared after 1999. Sorry, I didn't notice for some reason. Must have been lack of equitable funding.

    They got tired. And as my ex-flatmate and local candidate pointed out, it became difficult to come up with stupid shit that was weirder than some of the things that some of the mainstream parties were coming up with.
