And they bug for the reason that: if you're smart enough to calulate the percentage you need to add to every purchase on a given day in order to overcome the expenses of paying staff time-and-a-half and a day in lieu, then, you should be able to calculate the much much smaller percentage you need to add to your prices every day of the year so you don't have to raise it on one.
Well some restaurants etc do that.
But it doesn't seem unreasonable to me, that if you want to eat out on a stat holiday, which means that people have to be there to feed you, that you should pay the extra amount of money for the privilege of doing it on that day which the country has said is in some way special.
Whether or not the day actually is special is another debate.

How many people would Hussein's regime have killed since 2003 if he was still in power?
A lot less than was killed by the US led sanctions, which were estimated at killing half a million people during the 1990s.

Screw the impact on domestic violence, crime stats, road deaths and general mayhem that alcohol causes, a member of the grossly self-entitled chattering classes is incapable of planning ahead to stock up on Easter Sunday!
If they're that much of a concern to parliament, you think they'd do something about alcohol on the other 362 days of the year.

Doctor Who, such a slut!

Shall we count how many Democrats voted for it? How many members of the UK Labour Party? Shall we pretend the Labour government in NZ didn't send troops? Christopher Hitchens? Hallo?
Liberal really is a useless word in these discussions without definition. I wouldn't consider a bunch of these people liberal, but a right wing aquaintance wouldn't consider any of them liberal - for entirely opposite reasons.

I mean could you even imagine being there? What day would your nerves just start shooting?
That clearly wasn't nerves though. Complete detachment from the humanity of it. Joy at how accurate their shooting was.

I might if knew what that meant. :)
Your distance to cabinet, quality of your line etc. "It's you, not xtra".

Back to broadband issues, TelstraClear has rolled out 25Mb/s cable in ChCh, and will be rolling out in Wellywood soon if not already.
I got to use telstraclear cable in Kelburn over Easter. Downloaded 380 MB of windows updates for a computer, took about 4 times as long to install as it did to download.

if it's the Electoral Commission, the system should be a fair and reasonable form of whatever system it is.
But parliament will screw it up afterwards right?

I find it hard to hard to square this statement with the Homage to Barcelona above.
I think if you take off the last two words "through violence" it completely changes the quote, as Sacha noted.
