Unfortunately, Nonu will be at the world cup, he can play 12, 13 & wing. Toeava & McAllister have hopefully done enough, I hope they are fit.
For me, the big question is which winger do you drop if they only take three to RWC?

Craig said on Kiwiblog: Wussell Brown, Apparatchik of the Liarbore Dykeocracy
Benefit of doubt...
Craig mocking the usual suspects.

Or his principle is that the Government shouldn't interfere in NZer's family lives. And he doesn't want to be a member of a political party that doesn't hold to that principle.
heh. If he doesn't want to interfere in people's lives, he shouldn't be a politician!

Cheers Graeme, I do see where he is coming from. The inverse is, of course, if he felt that strongly about it, it would have been nothing for Dunne to change his mind about the legislation given that another nay vote wouldn't have materially affected the outcome.
Nothing, apart from ego, face saving, bloody mindedness etc

And I agree with Graham.
If Field pulls 1% from the conservative christian Pacific Island vote that will have a bigger impact upon Labour than National.

Why isnt he just replaced by the next one on the list
I think the waka-jumping legislation had a finite time limit and no longer exists?
I was a bit confused as to Copeland's reasoning:1. He was opposed to the Bradford Bill, however he was allowed to vote against it
2. His vote was largely irrelevant as anything apart from a gesture as the Bill had about 90% support
3. He leaves his party cos it wasn't against the Bill altogether?
4. He still hands his confidence & supply vote to Labour, knowing that to bring the govt down now would signal electoral oblivionAnd he says he's resigning on a matter of principal? Sounds more like the opportunism that saw United Party set up in 1995 to me.

I think the most inappropriate use of a 'How do you feel?'
Mike Gatting was asked that question in an interview where he was sporting a mighty black eye. His only response was to laugh resignedly and point to his face.
<sorry> tried to find a clip without suucess </sorry>

What's on David Bain's iPod?
After a week in the company of Joe Karam, especially spent in the Waikato it'll be Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

Mal, that would be the same Telegraph that ran a story along the lines of "10 Ways Blair has Ruined Britain".
It's nice how those papers on the right hate Tony Blair for a commie Labour bastard, while those on the left despise him as the true heir of Thatcher. All the time I was in the UK he was a condescending bugger, but he won three elections (& i might have even voted Labour in one election)

But how did you know about me & Nastassia?
I've seen Cat People. There's many of us been in that boat...
And in deference to Merc, can we call it Igour-gate? Pleeeeeese?
