A private jet? He didn't even pay lip service to the underprivileged peeps? Tut!
they'll be proud that our PM has a racy private jet. It'll make them think they're part of the first world. Or something.

spend his money on a private jet and of course we have the right to decide for ourselves whether we would like that in a Prime Minister.
New Zealand 1 anyone? I think we should have a flying vehicle of some sort to transport our PM & other dignitaries, so that they do not have to speed at 167 kph (or whatever it was) to the rugby (because I think it IS important they attend the rugby - but maybe they should leave a little earlier on their trip... on NZ 1! - WHich probably should be a Jetranger helicopter or something.)
But can someone please followup next time on whether Mr Key intends to purchase carbon credits to run his private jet?

"and so, without further adieu"
when the speaker is clearly unaware this is supposed to be a joke...
at risk of taking something too literally... (feel free to label me a petard) isn't it "ado"?

Oh, I remember that one well - I was moved to comment at the time...
Did you eventually define a dangling participle Josh? Lessee, Jesus had 12 participles, and one of them ended up hanging himself - it's a reference to Judas?

My fave euphemism for poor is from cricket, when a slog is described as "agricultural". No idea where it came from or what it is supposed to mean.
Without looking it up, I have always assumed it had something to do with the stroke looking like the batsman is scything corn or something.

And, ha, you're right,'pseudo-archaic form of 'the'
Yeah, we used to have another letter in the alphabet that looked like a cross between a Y & P, and was called a "thorn" and pronounced "th" So Ye, is really just the humble old "the" after all. Not sure why the urge to add a "e" to any word, but especially "shoppe".
We should've kept that letter.

OK, I read the editorial, it's not that Team NZ were tossing bombs at the opposition. </disappointed>

Maori have reminded the bridge managers that they readily hoisted the Team NZ petard during the America's Cup
WTF?

Well, I have to admit it's the non existent word "ye" that really steams my pudding.
