Only a dawdling fool like that silly old bugger James thinks that sort of thing still matters.
Sorry missed MP this morning - who is James? Bolger?

Did anyone else observe the moment on Morning Report today, where W Peters, cornered, almost began to squeak... I'm not sure I've ever heard it before. Satisfying and excruciating, all at once.

Yes booze was definitely the factor, well at least, for the overt expression of the opinions...

Thought I'd share the experience I had at the test last night (great game, thrilled to be there, it was fun). 3 middle aged blokes (50s?) behind us making basically racist remarks about a couple of the ABs, amongst other things. Woman two along from me told them to put a sock in it or she'd have no qualms complaining. Eventually she did (police). So, then she became a "fat whining bitch" amongst other things. Her friend was told to "get back to the kitchen" and boy did bloke no 2 get extremely cross, when bloke no 1 (main perpetrator of offensive remarks) was removed by cops. The insults escalated, bloke no 2 shot down the stairs after the woman who was going back to the cops again (I tried to slow him down by getting my feet in his way and got sworn at of course, which made my 8 year old cry :(). He didn't come back to his seat, she did, and I think, that was the end of the matter. I'm not going to pretend I'm surprised at those guys' attitude. But still, it's 2008 ffs - it was like meeting 3 dinosaurs (no offense to dinosaurs)! What I know about rugby could go on the back of a postage stamp... but it didn't feel like it was rugby that was the problem last night.

Please Thom, think hard about your use of the word "cunt" as the ultimate insult for a male.

In 2005 I worked at one of our local polling booths, and two things struck me, reflecting on the day. One, the simplicity of the book with names and addresses, the ruler and the red ball point pen to keep account of who had voted. None of your "hanging chads" there. And two, local MP and Minister of the Crown turning up in Saturday morning casuals to vote (well, not that casual). (Apparently Recount is a jolly good watch, if intensely upsetting.)

I have a knot in my stomach and a lump in my throat, and I want my Timmy (7 and 3 quarters) to come home from school, RIGHT NOW.

If I did Russell would end up acting like Martin Phillips when he became the only original Chill, and we don't want that.
We certainly don't...

We moved south in July 07, having sold the Wellington home in June 07. Phew, we think now. Have upscaled house for significantly less mortage here in Dunedin with the neglected vege garden looking more attractive all the time. So we figure we consolidated the financial position at the right time. And I refuse to buy butter - I simply can't pay that amount of money for it...
