OnPoint: Election 2011: GO!, in reply to Danyl Mclauchlan,
Isn’t that a completely reasonable thing for a centrist voter to do after one party has been in power for nine years?
No, it isn't. Vote for what people say they will do, not because it's "someone else's turn". I cannot grasp how a reasoning adult could find that reasonable.

With the greatest of respect, I'm always a bit bemused by those who vote Tory, and who then act surprised when they act exactly like they did last time they were in power - privatisation, law and order, public sector cuts, etc
What gets me is the people who vote because "it's time the other mob had a go". FFS!

Will follow with interest.

Of Steven Joyce as PM or Phil?
I have to say I'd take Phil over Joyce any day.

It’s way worse if you’ve bought dried chickpeas and soaked them.
Ah, that would be the Standard Cookbook. I've always found them a bit dry.

Hard News: "Orderly transition" in #Egypt, in reply to Simon Grigg,
Facebook and Twitter (and I think he threw Wikileaks into that which is another whole argument that I don't want to begin) have done more for democracy in the Middle East than a ten year trillion dollar war.
Which is what they said about fax machines and the Berlin Wall

between the three phones that you always carry
And even kiwi kids often carry two or three, depending on which carrier has the cheapest texts this week.

Purely from a design perspective, that site sucks.

I rather think that post might be ultra vires.
When I find out what that means, I'll let you know.
