Nice to see a home grown chain like Lone Star are the benchmark of quality and service.
They're kid friendly & no-one leaves hungry & if you can't get a table straight away there is always the bar to entertain you.

Long distant passenger trains aren't coming back, but passenger movement has to be the answer to urban congestion and intensification of urban dwellings.
The bulk of it has to be in direct competition with truck on our roads.

My flatmate in 1990/91 took the Vulcan Railcar for a tour around the South Island. He had rail buffs from around NZ & further a field come out of the woodwork for that one.

If my cousin marries her girlfriend there will be crass and tasteless jokes, all very off colour - so no change there - they're a good match.

Ploughshares are pacifists. That the use of their symbol was seen as violent was a miss reading of their symbolism.
It was all symbolisim with no actual damage done, or intended to be done, to the essential infrastructure. -
Sorry I was wrong.
Mr McMasters is Mr Masters. I always want to prefix his name for some reason.

AS - First things first - please quote rather than bring your own strawmen to the conversation, (a bit Wishartesque in style).
As far as I can see you were the pyro who brought the burning of schools into the converstaion and any ref from there on was in response to your stawman.
I have met Mr McMasters who just won the Viet Nam vets a consession on Agent Orange because he kept the maps of Kiwi deployment and the spray zones.
The "Trust us" line doesn't work, if it ever did.
It's pretty clear anyone paid to be at Waihopai wasn't working and to that there can be no arguement. Especially inlight of the Pine Gap 4 told them about it in Jan08 with the dates!
I don't think anyone is arguing about the legality of the actions taken & those who committed it are prepared to pay a price for their actions.
You will note it is not seen by the Police in such shrill tones as put forward by yourself & Malcolm, responsible for Kiwi deaths in Afghanistan or like burning schools - no-one is having any of that.
It was a break-in and popping of a balloon.

They sure do seem to insist on 'Donations' don't they.

Here in Christchurch it's definately a donation or koha on entry. At the museum you can't miss the box but at the art gallery the space is so vast you could be forgiven for missing it.
Worst museum architechture though has to be Invercargill - someone flick them a few million. It's a plywood prymid painted white.

Kyle if these are the reasons for being indefinitely sealed " the quality of the research and the conclusions is the prime factor".
They shouldn't be awared a PhD. -
Sci-Fi sexism has to be Dr Who & the bevy of hotpants & boots much younger ladies he ran around the cosmos with. I was always disapointed with Dr Who when he had male companions, or was Dr Who the 1st bisexual on TV?
When I was a solider we always reffered to the guy who made the tea, coffee, or meals, as "brew bitch". This was in all male company & I acknowledge totally misogynistic, but never used to address the few women who were in our unit.
The women who were with us were 'above average' in role and intelligence (medics etc) and were respected as such.
Not so sure these days now women are able to go in all areas as to what their treatment maybe.
As Sci-Fi mirrors todays society Starship Troopers is the only Sci-Fi where women are taking on warrior roles and treated as equals, as in the shower sceen.
Does Battle Star Gallactica have female marines?
