Good roundup of what people are saying and the history of cabbage boats from Toby Manhire.

And this morning's story:
Kim Dotcom says he will produce financial records to back up his allegation that he gave $50,000 to Act leader John Banks' 2010 mayoral campaign after Mr Banks yesterday said the Herald's report of those claims was "mostly BS".

New Zealanders are sceptical, clever people
..who know a gutless opposition is not worth voting for or listening to. Simpler theory.
Also a more tedious one.

Cracker: Are you Ready to Laugh?, in reply to Hilary Stace,
I wonder whether this is because you don’t fit into any of the common categories of targets of humour.
I don't think any of those categories are automatic no-go zones as such. It depends on what the joke is and who's making it. We have some good Aspie jokes in our house.
When the audience is laughing at a stereotype of you, humour is not so funny any more.
But sometimes, laughing at stereotypes is the best way of addressing them.

Well, quite. Grey Lynn still even has a few villas painted rainbow.

Hard News: Doug the Goth, in reply to philipmatthews,
This is Friday and we should probably post great Goth songs, right? (there are some ... )
Good list! Although I daresay some fans of several of those bands would get quite upset at the suggestion that they were, in fact, Goth.
