  • Hard News: Word of the Year 2007: Te Qaeda,

    The whole of the year thing kinda leaves me at a loss most of the time. For several years there was a sign above the "Open Late Cafe" informing us that it was Metro's night spot of the year 1995 I guess that was ok if your idea of a night out was a "Special Coffee" and a plate of overcooked mussels but I'm sure there were much better places, just not known to all those Metro readers that had just bought overpriced property in Ponsonby ( I guess they couldn't afford to get out much) Squid bar springs to mind as do several others. Maybe retrospect takes a little longer than "well it's December, what shall we vote for as of the year"
    However I think Te Queda is a likley and honourable winner, so far but this time next year we could all be thinking "Filibuster" should have been the word or maybe "undemocratic"

  • Word of the Year 2007,

    John Key threw himself into policymaking like a bowl in a china shop, he sat there until someone turned up with enough money to buy him.

  • Word of the Year 2007,

    I was just looking at the Eggcorn site and thought it rather chideish but I did like "like a bowl in a china shop" It has such a good feel to it, it's like it's supposed to be there, like a fish in the water.

  • Hard News: The Clamour to Cringe,

    In light of this statement

    A retired Israeli diplomat said secrecy was key. For high-risk missions like a long-range bombing run, he said, "it would be unwise to check in, even with our closest allies, ahead of time".

    from the Harold this morning. I get the impression that we can expect the bombs to start falling on Christmas day. Think about it.
    When Geo Bush says

    "In August, I think it was [US intelligence chief] Mike McConnell came in and said, 'We have some new information.' He didn't tell me what the information was."

    it is yet even more of a worry.
    It's bad enough when someone has an imaginary Friend in the sky but when they have imaginary enemies it's a bigger worry.

    As for big white guys with beards that claim to know whether you've been bad or good the last time I saw one I sat on his knee and he tried to touch my cock.
