Q: How much longer can John Key keep saying anything he feels like to please his audience, before people begin to notice that his leadership is flakey?
A: -
Predictable of course but I am sure that it underlines how easy it would be for enthusiasm to over-ride caution. After all. We elected a National Government without due regard for caution????

Actually we pigs like the idea of pig virus 'cause people won't want to eat us, our population will explode and at last we can take over the world! Pigs Unite!

'Peace, Love and Aro-A™". Wot a great plan! We could adopt Australia too and then the A's would have it all. Aro-A and Ausa. And it would put us first in the telephone book after Alcohol Anonymous. The possibilities are huge.

Hey. I too used to walk around the house with my eyes closed to see if I could navigate in case I went blind. I walked with smart steps just like a blind person does with a seeing eye dog. But I mis-judged and smacked my eyebrow against the door jamb. My brow split open and I had to go to work with a blackish eye and when I said I walked into a door they didn't believe me. (If you hiss a bit you can hear the sound change according to the nearness of a solid object, like my wife!)

Great Emma. Puts a new slant on the seemingly ordinary Christchurch. I will be there on Sunday. I will look for thee by the bridge, I'll come to thee by the bridge, tho' hell should bar the way.

Is it the French system where the search is for the truth, rather than an adverserial system like ours? I think there is always a debate about that because a poor person with a poor advocate compared with a rich person with unlimited means who has a better chance to get the best outcomes.

I read once of a journalist who spent many weeks out of circulation in a remote place, Tibet I think. She said that the first thing that she wanted to do on her return was to devour all the papers and catch up! She soon realised that really nothing, except for the names of people and places, had changed. The stories were universal and repetitive. Important?

In our town the kids no more deliver the newspaper. Instead heavily disguised (helmeted) eldely scooter riders do so. They are systematic but lack the colour of the kids.
I read the online papers each day both from NZ and the world. When reading our local paper in the evening its "I know that and that and that one I read 3 days ago; on a blogsite."
