I had one eye on Dresden, and one on the little thread that grew here on PA. And yeah, the premise had promise, but Angel it ain't.

Ditto IS - Dresden Files, last night, 8:30, on Prime, unless I hallucinated it...

Already here, Shep. Last night, 8:30 on Prime.

Umm, Paul, we do have number portability - you can take your corporate 027 number and stick it on a vodafone account. It'll just confuse hell out of people trying to free text you...

I've never had more than average service from NL or B&B, which I can forgive if they can make up for it by competing on price. Which they don't.
The sooner JB Hifi open a Hamtown store, the happier & poorer I'll be. I spent a few happy and wallet draining hours in one when I was in Melbourne a couple of years back. Filled a half a suitcase with CDs & DVDs either cheaper than or unavailable in NZ. A combination of knowledgable staff & low, low prices - what's not to like! -
Conned - sold out.
Po-tay-to - po-tah-to -
So all we have, as predicted, is some wild talk and playing soldiers on a hillside.
Not a good look but hardly "terrorism"
That's a sight worse than some wild talk and some guys learning to fly airplaces and buying box-cutters.

Or a nice authentic Afghan hound, they're pretty too.

All the kids are doing it. Writing messages on puppies (or "pmail") is totally the new Facebook.

These people aren't PhD candidates, but those for whom a better education would make the difference between the dole and a decent job.
These days, with high employment and all, its not so much the difference between the dole & a decent job - its the difference between a crap job and a decent job.
In the main centres particularly, pretty much everyone who can work and wants to work has a job. But there's a fair few of those jobs that I'm pretty sure most of the PA parents here don't envisage their kids growing up to perform. The fun part is that, by and large, even if the lowest educated person in NZ is equivalent to the international average, those crap jobs will still exist and need doing by someone. Either the minimum requirements for a cleaning job will increase, or we'll import.
