  • Hard News: The Bottom is a Magic Place,

    Speshly the perineurium bit.

    That's perineurium, not perinium...

    Only the truly geeky would ever use it as it currently stands....

    Well, you've come to the right place then - here we have a veritable fascicle of geeks, a plethora of them even.

  • Hard News: The Bottom is a Magic Place,

    I do seriously think that fascicle could be a contender though....

    And the definition would be? That which you find hanging off the end of your nose after bicycling on a frosty morning?

  • Hard News: Spammer until proven innocent,

    Had a look at mintshot yesterday. I *wish* it was tic-tac-toe you played for the minor prizes!

    ...

    So it does indeed come down to who has the most time to waste.

    And a high tolerance for mindlessness too ...

    Of course, if you pitch at an IT literate audience, with too much time on their hands, certain outcomes are all too predictable.

    My gran said, "Don't sleep with married men."

    Don't tell my wife that!

  • Speaker: Legislating in the Twilight Zone,

    If I tried to do that in business I would risk being fined very heavily or even gaoled under the Commerce Act. But then they are politicians and can do what they want

    Rubbish.
    If you and your competition get together and agree on fixed prices, that would be illegal.
    But getting together an industry interest group and discussing the effects of relevant legislation on your line of work has never been against any laws.

  • Cracker: Mo' Wellington,

    A baby seal goes into a bar, the bartender asks "whad'll y'have?"
    The seal replies "anything but a Canadian Club on the rocks".

  • Speaker: Legislating in the Twilight Zone,

    Meh, I feel the same way about the Govt, and I don't even expect them to fix my car.

    Quite right too - that's where Trabants came from...

  • Speaker: Legislating in the Twilight Zone,

    Moreover, as an AA member, I primarily want to get my car sorted if it breaks down.

    If they start telling me how I should vote, then I'll be writing to the Commerce Commission about their monopoly of breakdown service.

    But in their role as car owner advocates, they'd be quite within their ambit to mention in the AA mag that one party is more likely to raise the petrol tax, or ban toll roads or other relevant policy stuff. Whether that would count as an ad for a particular party would depend on the phrasing I suppose.
