What's a DCM and when did Worth get one?
Don't Come Monday.
It's an honour the smiling assassin has reputedly bestowed quite often, although in this case, it would appear he didn't actually have to pull out the ceremonial sword.

The about-face you've quoted is necessary for George to make his desired connection between lawless hippies and the spineless and quite possibly Labour-friendly bureaucrats who Let It Come To This. I think he just treats external reality as inspiration for a creative voyage through his own little world.
Even though he wants me and my fellow dickheads to get a taste of the taser, I feel we should cut poor old Garth some, well, slack.
Who among us might not eventually acquire a madly contorted perception of the world if we were to shut ourselves indoors and restrict our reading to the Royal NZ Herald and a nicotine-stained copy of the Good Book?

I haven't seen it. Is there an appearance by the big little mayor?

If the world recession gets deeper and longer, expect English to start thinking about selling government commercial enterprises to pay back debt.
You've just bought TVNZ for an excellent price. Now to business. What do you chuck overboard?

Just out of interest to anyone who was there, what was the ratio of walkers to cyclists ?
About half and half, I'd say. This photo would be a good sample of helmet to no-helmet ratio.
I really lament the polarising and the aggro. If cycles were provided their own separate space, every last source of the friction would vanish.

Paul Henry is "Your Views" with syntax coaching.

I'm not entirely sure what the topic of the post was when David made it
What Lyndon said.

People get really worked up about trade unions to. I don't get it. What is it about democratic collective action that so many people find so threatening that they demand the full might of the state be used to crush the merest murmuring of dissent?
Well, they have a point. If it hadn't been for democratic collective action, we wouldn't have had those regrettable revolutions in France and America.

I would have been pretty pertubed if I'd been driving in lane 3, with nothing between me and the kids that attended. It is still an open motorway after all.
I take your point, Gareth, but that's how it works on marathon day, and no-one gets hurt. Likewise, there are many kilometres of state highway one where kids can be standing on the side of the road as we hurtle by.
But in any event, I think what's more likely to have happened is that traffic would have come through at the same slow pace they travel past crash sites.

I don't think it works so well if you're standing in the way of a footy match.
