The Macys parade in NYC got Rick Rolled by the real Rick Astley
!!! That's brilliant...
Re prioritising long-term investment, there are some real downsides there in terms of flexibility of the investment economy etc. What we need to do is remove existing unecessary distortions in tax around property etc.

In bizzarro world you might want to decide the best team like that.
So South Africa are unquestionably the best team until 2011?
If not, why is it that in a 12 month period in which a World Cup falls that one tournament defines the best team while in other 12 month periods it's a more holistic view?Note: I think we lost the World Cup through our own doing (on the flip, it was just a game that we lost), and I think South Africa probably were the best team that year by both measures. We didn't deserve that cup and weren't the best team of '07 - but those are two different things that happened to align.
I don't hold the view that for one year in four we automatically change the criteria of what constitutes "best team", even if the RWC accounts for a good chunk of that year.

the best team last year, ie the winner of the World Cup.
Those are not necessarily the same thing in rugby though...
We lost one game at the world cup because we lost it. Reasons don't really matter, but neither do they take away from the performance across all tests in 2007 (what, 15 or so? if you include all RWC games?) -
it was time to simply look at it in terms of overall human diversity
An excellent idea...

Curiously, however, Rattue has not previously written of this "disaster".
Well perhaps the disaster would have been beating the Welsh, cause, you know, that would have been... terrible.
And he certainly avoided that! RO-BBIE RO-BBIE -
Well there was that lady on the news last night, named & filmed out the front of her place, who thought her house appearing on the web was a gross invasion of her privacy.
LOL.
Irony - you're unwittingly doing it right... -
Bloody hell, my little family shack in the middle of Central Otago is on there!
They sure got around. -
So I can force my kid to walk with me, in more or less real time, the whole way to school!
I'm fairly certain the repeal of Section 59 made that illegal...

Robyn, I presume Google will have a refresh cycle for the images (bi-annually perhaps?) but hopefully they "time machine" them so you can go back through the years...

Although it's rather weird when the direction you are following is shot from the rear of the van so it feels like you're "driving" on the wrong side of the road...
