  • Yellow Peril: My black heart bleeds,

    If that wasnt half obvious from the post (especially the itemised hot links) then thats because it was read from a perspective we in drug policy sometimes overlook... not everyone figures this stuff out for themselves, it has to be spelt out for them. Its like dragging someone over 'hot coals', they resist and resist until then suddenly on reaching the otherside and learn 'it didnt hurt at all'.

    Thanks for getting back Blair, althogh I confess I still dn't understand what you're saying.

    Also -- free wi-fi at Welington Airport! How civilised.

    And .. awesome thread! I was biggin' y'all up when I spoke at the Access and Community Broadcasters conference today.

    Bonus: got to meet Anjum, who's on the board of the Hamilton access station.

    Oh, and an apology to C&R's Aaron Bhatnagar for a comment further up the thread. It wasn't the Hero Parade he criticised as a waste of money, but the council function to mark the anniversary of homosexual law reform. I don't think he's said anything about Hero itself.

    I've googled without success but wasn't there also another incident a few weeks back when Peters had failed to read a paper or press release issued to him? I recall him smirking on One News (walking into the House) when he was caught out having earlier in the day complained about not being consulted over some policy announcement Labour had made.

    I think it was the SIS report on Zaoui. You'd think he'd have been interested in that.

    It's a different kettle of fish but the 9/11 attack could have gone differently if people who should have been reading reports issued to them actually did.

    I think it's relevant. If you're going to make an issue of the unheeded reports before 9/11, then you can't give Peters' office a free pass here.

    Graeme Henry might be looking for work...

    The Blues have never won the Super tournament without him you know ...

    In the moving-right-along spirit, speculation that Nucifora could exercise a clause in his Blues contract to get a release so he can coach the Wallabies.

    I think I speak for the majority of Blues supporters in saying: Yes! Yes! Yes!

    We'll have that Gatland bloke, thanks. Hell, we'll have Pat Lam if it comes to it.

    I suppose it's too late to bring Ali Williams back?

    This past Tuesday one of the Dropkicks was woken by his partner, who found him sleeping in their garden, at 9pm.

    Could have been worse. Could have been 9__am__.

    I mean, come on - he just told Tze Ming and all the women of Public Address ...

    Probably enough for a rugby team!

    Tom, it's Thursday already. You promised you'd be alright by Tuesday.

    Good lateral thinking from the Dropkicks, someone (I'm looking at you IRB) buy them a beer

    I quite agree. Saturday night, lads?
