my hairdresser knew before I did.
The usual advice is: sell your stocks!
The fact that people are so interested tells you something about the potency of his polling power.

If you happen to be reading this rather than listening to the radio or drifting towards the TV news, this just in.....
A group of Aucklanders has mounted a legal challenge to Rugby World Cup Minister Trevor Mallard's stadium proposal.Mr Mallard gave Auckland city and regional councils a deadline of Friday to choose between building a new stadium on Auckland's waterfront - the Government's preferred option - or extending Eden Park to provide the main venue for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
An application for an interim injunction to stop the councils from making decisions tomorrow and Friday was lodged in Auckland High Court shortly before 5pm.
The papers have been filed in the name of a private citizen, representing a group of Aucklanders.
It will go before a judge tomorrow.

I admit it, I looked up "euphonious" and come up with "smooth-sounding".
I meant to imply "not discordant", but this may be one of those Freudian slips in which you say one thing when you mean your mother.

How about then: Lock Stock & Ten Thousand Smoking Emails?
BTW - this number can't be correct surely? I doubt I've written 10,000 emails in my entire life, and I am prolific, I find it hard to believe the Donald could have done it.

On that note, a friend has emailed a further suggestion: 'The End of the Affair" by Diane Foreman.

Don't forget David Slack's Bullshit, Backlash and a Bunch of Other Stuff I Didn't Know About at the Time of the First Edition and Graham Reid's Postcards from Parliament: Probably Safer Than Emails ...
Better yet, wrap it all into a movie starring Clint Eastwood: "A Shitload of Emails and a Fistful of Donors"
Llew, the problem/reason is in fact that I am *not* between books & speeches at the moment. Photoshop.

Russell Brown & David Slack, why are we seeing less of you on Breakfast these days ?
Don't know what Russell's current schedule is, but on the Friday week in review, we're now a three-week roster instead of fortnightly: Joe Bennett and Caroline Daley, Wallace Chapman and Penny Ashton, and Michele A'Court and me. But just to confuse things, I'll be on this Friday and the following one as well.
I'd wave, but that's probably not the way the cool people do it.

An unpardonable oversight. I'll knock one up for you.
I'm thinking "The Great New Zealand Ass-Whipping," but I'm open to alternatives.
Thanks, you others, for the compliments, and the cake. Juha, if you'd like a slice when it arrives, feel free to saunter across the road to join me in purgatory.
