I wonder what proportion of the "Recorded Offences" are along the lines of "Hello, Police? Yeah, there's some people smoking pot on the lower common room balcony at Auckland Uni. What's that? Oh...okay...not an appropriate use of resources? Right...okay...thanks then. Bye."

I hate the BMI. It's a hugely blunt instrument and inaccurate instrument, especially when wielded by insurance companies.
I weigh about 135kgs. I'm 1.95m tall (6'4"). I could do with dropping 10-15kgs, but I'm fairly fit and active. To get normal health insurance rates, I would need to drop to 90kgs.
I have weighed that twice. First when I was about 14 years old, then in my twenties after 3 months of chronic dysentry in South East Asia.
And I'm an excellent and space-considerate neighbour on planes, buses and at the movies, thanks.

Hayden, I think between low/no equity mortgages and rising prices, the last few years have been kind to people able to be in the property market.
Suddenly, they don't get to have their (okay, our) cake and eat it too, so they squeal and pout for a bit.
And ask Mr English for a pony, to make it better.

I bear no ill will towards the bank - I know they have costs to recoup, and what I save on what's left of my term outweighs what it's costing.
It's just kind of nice to see them freaking out a bit.

If the banks take your advice, will they be cutting us some Slack?
And will they take it before I agree to give them $16,500 in breaking fees later today?
Nah didn't think so...ah well, it's a long game, innit?

trademe? I see John Key is going to auction his cast on that site. Do you think he is going to sign it?
Is it all his own work?
Yes, and he's going to offer to drop it off to the winner in an illegally speeding police motorcade.
Yawn.

It's about as solid as his arguments.

All 3 grams? Greedy...
