plane language…
quoting a Katy Bradford tweet,
Ahem, that’d be Katie Bradford
:- )The Stuff iteration of this story also mentioned ‘Hangry’ 3 times
so I’m not sure if this commenter "I believe ‘Hangry’ is the term you’re looking for…" was being ironic or moronic – I’d like to think the former.One does wonder though how ‘a woman nearly caused a riot’ – did she ‘almost’ stir a crowd of other passengers into a violent disturbance of the peace – I can imagine the woman in question did have an outburst of uncontrolled emotion, but how did it 'just about' escalate into a plane-wide riot?

We have John Key’s word on this.
Not that the Herald used his exact words;
Mr Key said that the foreign trust industry was "a legitimate business" and was not "the devil incarnate"
he actually said "the devil incarnated"
Nice of them to make him look like he knows what he's talking about.... -

Hard News: About the King's Arms (updated), in reply to Jason Kemp,
some form of targeted rates relief?
plus
so long as what counts as culture is not decided mainly by those who favour classical, ballet and oil paintings – or ballsports – over other forms.
...mates rates?

Hard News: Media Take: The Panama Papers, in reply to simon g,
Pentagon Papers, Panama Papers …
I was so grateful that it didn't become the default 'Panamagate'!
...though something along the lines of 'Mossad Fundseeker' would've been fun...
