  • Hard News: How about that cricket, eh?,

    Probably no one was happier than Ross Taylor at the result I reckon. His fuck-up with Guptill and his lame dismissal could easily have been the difference.

    My Mrs called him some very, very bad names...

    With the acknowledgement that this does not imply causation nor is it even slightly fact-checked. I'm assuming that the students wouldn't lie cos they have to use proper data, right?

    Denver: population 630,000ish

  • Hard News: Show some decency, in reply to Chris Waugh,

    Back in NZ, I think Key's lack of strategic smarts is starting to show, and that gives me hope he'll be out of the picture soon-ish. The big question is who comes next.

    I'm hoping at least one bloody journalist will push Key on whether he intends to see out the entire term if re-elected. I highly doubt it and it is only fair* for him to let us know who he sees as replacing him.

    *this part could be difficult for the slimy prick to achieve.
