Depends what you mean by 'works', I suppose, but doesn't Curia do a lot of polling work for the National Party? For someone so voluble about all and everything he's been suprisingly reticent to comment on the validity of claims some bloggers (The Standard, from memory?) have been making in that respect.

Denis Welch, at the start of the last hour. Eminently qualified.

I'm too busy re-writing my bit that was about... the history of the Madison :)
I'm using this as "research" :)Oops. Sorry 'bout that. I'll give you good odds against this happening again in under a decade.

I shall, however, be sticking with the New Wave PA determination not to endlessly bitch about my health. .....
Nor will I be pimping my children for column material.None taken.

It seems that this is about as close as it gets for a modern airliner
Wikipedia has this to say about the crash.
Many of the passengers who died survived the crash but they had disregarded or did not hear Abate's warning not to inflate their life jackets inside the aircraft
Verily, follow the instructions of your crew. They know what to do.

Your legs shouldn't be static, rather accelerating weight from centred to the front leg whilst lifting the back heel.
Lest anyone get the wrong idea, I could not know less about martial arts. I cribbed that from Wikipedia.

Ever since we saw the Fat Ladies do it this way, this is how we have our kedgeree. Minus the cream. It makes my heart quiver just to think of it.

Man, I love the oratory of this guy. I keep wheeling out fresh YouTube clips of him at workshops. Should have played this to the kids at school this morning after their speech contest.

Gordon Campbell offers some good arguments in defence of secret taping here
Hmmm. Don’t tell people now. Wait until you’re in power. Then use the platform of government to do what you REALLY had in mind all along, but didn’t dare risk saying out loud because people wouldn’t have voted for you in the first place. Isn’t that a bit umm… unethical ?
Certainly, it seems more unethical than taping a conversation with a politician who freely volunteers something that is in the public interest, and that they would otherwise deny. And is taping such a conversation more or less ethical than National’s subsequent response to date – which has been to publicly accuse Labour of the taping, before even looking at the security tapes to discern who actually did it?

vegetarian fish flavoured beef
That's sounds like an uncannily accurate description of the meal John Key is serving the voters. Add Mark's preferred meat and you'll get a Tern for the worse.
I like the sound of dinner at Islander's place.
