  • Hard News: Costly indeed,

    I think he ate all the chocolate in his minibar one night.

    Well let's hope he ate it, anyway.

  • Hard News: Touched by the hand,

    I enjoyed the Ad-show's piece on Orcon & Iggy Pop.

    The one on beer ads was quite fun too.

    @KevinHague: Key just said he could rule out open pit mining

    Yet they can be so easily recycled as landfills.

  • Cracker: Go Figure,

    As I was once told in a lecture, weather forecasts aren't wrong per se, the events just don't happen in the timeframe it's predicted they will.

    Somehow puts me in mind of something Billy Connolly once said:

    "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices."

    When does Backbenchers start again? I presume that hideous green(ish) shirt gets stored in a lead container & buried in several tonnes of cement until next summer?

  • Up Front: Same as it Ever Was,

    I think Jack is too modest to share his triumphant Twitter post:
    ... that's why you should have a disreputable youth, kids! Or more than one if you can fit them in the bed.

    brilliant! A friend of mine always used to say (before he got married), it's not how wide the bed is, it's how deep you can stack 'em that counts.

  • Up Front: Same as it Ever Was,

    once had to return to a boy's flat the next day to ask if I had perhaps left my skirt in his room

    heh, I once returned a young librarian's clothes to her place of work the next day after a party (she'd jumped my flatmate, passed out in the hall, naked, we couldn't find her clothes, got her dressed in loaner gear, had someone drive us over to her parents' place & two of us carried her inside).

    At the library the next day "Is Not-her-real-name here?" I was told she was sick.

    Holding up a supermarket bag full of clothes & underwear... "She left these at my place."

    She was a good sport about it all though. A very good sport actually.

  • Hard News: See you Latta, Bob ...,

    Another thread would be interested to know that the ninth-bestselling NZ novel of 2009 is The Trowenna Sea, mostly by Witi Ihimaera.

    Since he was going to buy all remaining stock, shouldn't we have expected the run would sell out?

  • Hard News: Let's lynch the liberals!,

    references to "deniers"

    I thought we all agreed on "denialisers"?

    Therefore even those who are not convinced of anthropogenic climate change should also do all possible to achieve the best outcome for the earth and subsequent generations?

    Is it happening? Is it bad? Can we do something?

    Who or what is to blame seems a side issue to me.
