    The dog kind of looks at her, and shrugs, and keeps turning the dial.

    This is not because the dog is a jerk.

    This is because the dog has no fucking clue what the lizard even just said.

    And so it goes... I'm thinking planetary dial.
    I can still call people jerks right?

    "We need you to resist our corruption," he enjoined at one point of a speech that frequently dwelt on the lobbyist-ridden state of US politics

    That's the least of their problems.

    and ring-ins from out of town would have less to lose, and be chosen (and paid) for their hardness,

    If it gets to that, using hard nuts because they don't care. We've all lost.

    I’ve heard the same thing for people working for EQC.

    It must be getting really tense in CHCH if a logo on a shirt is precipitating anger at the wearer.

    at the mercy of

    "specifically, the insanity of the relentless, dauntless, ego-driven, conscience-free, self-actualising and impenetrably confident creatures known as psychopaths. Ronson sets out one side of his fascination with such beings explicitly – a concern that they seem exactly like the type of person most likely to excel in politics and business, and therefore to end up dictating terms to the rest of us. "

    Shudder....

  • Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Sacha,

    Comments on the story seem refereshingly sane so far.

    The insane semantics and trying to wriggle out of paying all seems to be on t'other side. Maybe this is a weird waiting game to see the size of those adversely affected by this little deal, and if they can just be written off as malcontents.

    I think it’s time to put my remaining comics and books on TradeMe

    That's going to be a wrench. Good Luck!

  • Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Thomas Johnson,

    maybe use CERA to force full payouts on insurance companies. There will be a consequence of such actions beyond “sticking it to the man”.

    So can one part of "the man" can stick it to another part of "the man"? Does it require them to get out of the bed they share? Or can it be done lying down? Is it kinda like a butch/bitch relationship and they take turns as to who's on top. Oh I could riff for hours.

    The consequence could be that earthquake cover in ChCh is simply not available, as the council is finding. Of course, that might happen anyway.

    Oh yes that other relic of a bygone age, Insurance against "Acts of God". Great way to make money as long as "God" isn't being a prick.
