    I'm Vegemite only. I use Marmite to lube my bike chain.

    And the TradeMe forums as well, Giovanni. That's amber alert, isn't it?

    Best tweet of the show:

    As much as I support you in saying that New Zealand is shit, I still don't want the country to drown!

    Runner-up:

    Various paraphrased NZers:

    Oh noes! A Tsunami. But wow, look at NZ trending!

    World media says: 7.8 and look out!

    Stuff says:

    A tsunami warning was issued tonight after two earthquakes measuring 6.6 and 6.1 on the Richter scale struck Fiordland.

    Deserves a thread, I think. Twitter is alight.

    I like a challenge. Thank you.

    I do occasionally offer reporting in this forum. I'll give it a crack again soon. But the more intriguing one is this:

    An innocuous wet grape piece of coverage that a schoolgirl could have written.

    That's a new form to me. 'Innocuous' and 'schoolgirl' I'm pretty sure I can emulate, but 'wet grape', well, there you have the advantage of me, I'm afraid.

    He's guilty of course, and a fucking vile liar.

    Can I assume I should offer my forthcoming reports in the pre-judged fashion favoured by Fox News?

    So why do you say this doesn't work? Canada and the US seem to have implemented (albeit at the flour level) a successful food supplement program that people seem to think has worked.

    I'm not asserting that it doesn't work, I'm asking if it does or not, because it seems to be a matter of contention.

    Actually, when I look back at my original post, I can see that I'm being emphatic there. That's clearly wrong. But I still ask the question I've been posing here: does it actually achieve its intended effect?

    So your logic is because we can't put as much in as we should we should put none in?

    No. My logic is: does this work? If not, what might?
