  • Hard News: A. B. B.,

    Can anyone tell me, historically, why we have a separate vote for mayor? Why don't we vote for the councillors, same as we do for MPs, then let them work out who the head cheese will be?

    Its amazing how many people I've never heard of suddenly have poster up with "re-elect" on them. I have no idea what these people do for the other 2 years and 10 months. They may be beavering away on any number of committees and working parties, but they don't get name-checked in the media very often if at all. The regional councillors are even worse, and don't even start on the DHB candidates!

  • Hard News: Policy, finally,

    So you could have your Prius sitting at the lights thudding like it was a suped up Skyline

    Why think small. If you're going to geek up your car, make it sound like the Jetson's spacecar, or an X-Wing fighter, or Darth Vader's TIE fighter... If I wanted a car that sounded like a skyline, I'd buy a skyline. I think Honda here in town have a second-hand one...

    Yeah, because nothing as awful as a slap in the face could happen on public transport.

  • Radiation: Television hell,

    Stephen Fry doco on manic depression. on Prime at 11.25pm Sunday looks good.

    No it looks really, really, amazing good.


    Actually on second thoughts it looks awful, piece of crap really.


    OTOH, i think it should be a rivetting piece of documentary art.


    Or not.

    How does one spot a Jewish person in a crowd? For all I know every second Aucklander is Jewish, but not making a song & dance about it.

    I'm running OS9 and 10.2, guess I'm screwed

    Not screwed, so much as doomed to be living in the past...

  • Speaker: I too, am man,

    NZ brewed beer that was apparently designed specially for consumption with curry?
