Off topic a bit - how come National constantly vote as a bloc on conscience issues lately? Are the MPs not allowed to think for themselves?
Well we have seen when a Nat is slightly off side to Key, e.g. Maurice ended up the back and Worth started on the wrong foot with his personal billboards in Epsom so I suspect a vote of conscience is not seen as a healthy career move. Also, it may be my distrust of the National Party, but their record is proof of what they actually are, plus their method seems as always to be underhand albeit through what may be legal.

Swine flu: can we get rid of this moniker? If it's good enough for the Spanish it should be good enough for the Mexicans.
Don't think so. First spotted in the States and if memory serves, a visit to Mexico does not a State make.:)

Oh I forgot (how tardy) The opiates tend to be a bit of a cure for the common cold, flu etc. One only gets flu like or a cold when one stops using them, so I deduce if you stay on it you'll never catch a cold.

An abiding memory from Toy Love's Australian sojourn -
Setting up in The Astra Hotel,.
Of course that was my local. (but no gees linctus for us)That it is now, an old peoples home. We used to joke that the same people are back there, just a tad older. What a great place that was.You'd get Divynals on a Monday, The Church on a Tuesday, SplitEnz on a Wednesday, a lot oof ska bands..... we'd show up and get a concert for free every night of the week and it was always a mix of oz and kiwi. Shit that was a good pub.I will say I remember Toy love playing just not detail as it always was. :) -
So, did you hold your nose and scull the bottle in one go?

So why is it that a really hardcore opiate is readily available in various prescriptible forms but the less harmful marijuana is still an illicit drug.
because 11% of nzers have or do smoke pot. Another reeferendum needed? I must stop reading the Daz. The interesting thing about opiates is prescription for methodone (I know, synthetic it may be)is the equivalent of what many countries find acceptable and let's face it all t'other opiates in this country are, well, bloody good (homebake debateable, depending on the cook) and confirmed precise measurable doses. I think marijuana is a visually feel good drug so that isn't desirable to a conservative voter, afterall the goss of the 60's 70's 80's 90's is it is not productive, i.e lazy. Opiates can be used and one wouldn't know they are stoned (which they are)and if sick, any after effect can be just end of the being sick so not actually addictive (to an untrained eye). We all like to feel good, that's entertainment, therefore personal choice, (should not be tax payer funded), unwell or unproductive,(they can have a drip etc for that) that's why, maybe, dac isn't allowed yet. Decriminalise at least, free up the prisons, self medicate, sorted. I'll go awaaay now ;)

wouldn't you feel like having your say about that?
I, for one would but I also note that the likes of the Herold are pretty quick to edit to the point of misrepresentation of what one may say (especially as I have read in letters to the Editor and had confirmed by letter writers). So what lines are being drawn if it is seen as an Editor already doing that? Good for the goose etc.

I am imagining this. Is there a door mouse uniform? A little hat?
Something like this?
