Hard News: Gower Speaks, in reply to David Hood,
Just to note that I'm very keen to host and promote anything that emerges from these exercises.

Hard News: Friday Music: The Godfather…, in reply to Paddy Buckley,
What an intro.
That's glorious.

Hard News: Friday Music: The Godfather…, in reply to Paddy Buckley,
Very sad about Frankie Knuckles and thanks for all the background info. As well as MJ, I’ve got a couple of other favourite remixes that I play a lot.
Excellent! Also two of my faves (especially the latter), but I thought, well, someone's gonna post those ...

A good list of The 20 Best Chicago House Records from, of all places, Rolling Stone. Presented in annoying page-impression-maximising format, but worth the irritation.

And meanwhile, Roy Morgan:
Labour/ Greens (45%) regain lead over National (43%) for first time since January
Quite a lot of nil or marginal change, but National dipping 2.5% and NZ First rising 2% and the Conservatives 1% might be significant.
Labour rose but Lab/Green vote fell slightly.
Internet Party in at 0.5% too, as is Mana. This might yet be a thing.

The gin is lovely – I particularly recommend it with bubbles at Xmas time.
There’s a song about sloe gin fizz …

Alexa Johnston’s Roasted Feijoa Chutney is the best I know.
Oh, I like the look of that!

Once they taste OK, bottle in fresh brine, or oil, or vinegar, with herbs, chilli, garlic etc.
Sterilised bottles but not bottled hot, right?

Hard News: Gower Speaks, in reply to Ianmac,
To be fair the Survey could have said: ” Mr Key concealed the fact that his charity game of golf was actually a fund raiser for the National Party and he concealed a second game in the same way. Do you think John Key’s action were worthy of a man who is Prime Minister?”
Balanced questions Paddy?
The wording was fair, as is the wording of the Judith Collins question also asked but not yet aired. I don't know what the wording of the Key/Oravida question is, but the deadline for questions might have been before Gower's Shanghai office scoop.

Hard News: Gower Speaks, in reply to Andrew Geddis,
Yep. That’s a story they’ll want to run.
Yes, well illustrated.
It also brings us back to Monday's point about the folly of drawing up virtual houses of Parliament at this point. But that's a hard sell.
