we didn't buy it for the low petrol consumption - we bought it because of the low emissions
It appears to be the other way around in New Zealand. Stephen Pollard at the CGCC told me that they get blokes shyly coming in and emphasising that, y'know, they're not greenies or anything, they just want fuel economy ...

Andy - I just managed to make my first link and as a non techie the steam was coming out my ears by the end. Here's an explanation- I'm sure the experts do it better.
And also, if it's a short link, you can just paste it in and it automatically becomes live.

My goodness. Disable Adblock Plus for a one-time look at PA and it lights up like a Christmas tree! Whodathought?
Heh. I'll remember you to my children when they don't get any Christmas presents because Daddy didn't sell enough ad impressions this year ....

__"If they get to keep Israel powerful, maybe it's not such a big price to pay. Only the Jews that don't want Israel (or at least not at the cost it currently incurs) get annoyed."
My reading is that that alliance is a highly contentious issue in the community, for that reason and others.__
Those reasons presumably including the fact that the Dispensationalist future narrative doesn't wind up too well for the Jews. Having hosted the final battle, they're faced with the choice of (a) converting, or (b) getting creamed.

Scotland produces the world's best in two fields...
Rugby isn't one of them.Jeremy wins! Normally I'd let it run a bit longer, but I needed to get this one done. Jeremy, email me with a delivery address.
Everyone else can feel free to keep trying for next week's fine whisky from our sponsors.

Interesting point. i wonder who the first non singing drummer or bass player to be included in this popular choices fest will be.
Frank Gibson Jnr?

It makes me so sad. I'm just hoping something good can come from this.
The small mercy may be that it will underline and amplify the current family violence campaign, in which I now feel even more glad to have been involved (if you were watching NZ TV Tze Ming, you'd currently be at constant risk of seeing me eyeballing the camera intoning the line "It's not okay ...").
Not that I feel like I deserve a medal for that. It was a couple of hours of my time one weekday. I wish I could do more.
There's also now talk of better support for women at risk in migrant communities, so hopefully there will be progress there.
And, as a bonus, Christine Rankin has yet to appear as a rent-a-quote..

Aw, c'mon Simon. If there was no Mi-Sex there would have have been no Flight X7.
Seems like a good deal to me.

Of course the wife bashing industry hasn't covered themselves in glory either. They are quick to stick their paws out for money when tax dollars are on offer, building refuges from a to breakfast - even quicker to come knocking on doors asking for cash by scaring the women and guilt tripping the blokes, yet by all accounts this young woman and her daughter were on their own when it came to dealing with this recidivist bashing low life piece of garbage.
Eh? According to a statement from Women's Refuge she was with them for a month last year, during which time they helped her get parenting and protection orders, but she left, leaving no forwarding address, before they could be completed. Your invective seems seriously misplaced there.
And I do feel bound to point out that you're using information you don't think should have been published in making your argument.
But I agree with you, on the face of it, about the police action in giving him his sword and his passport without making inquiries. Perhaps there are parts of that we don't know about, but it looks bad.

Julie Hill did a fantastic story once for Frontseat (RIP) about sports anthems...
Got a link?
Many songs were offered as examples, but only Jordan's were consistently in the Top 5, and "Why Does Love Do This To Me" the unanimous No.1. There's a dude, Mark McLeod, whose job it is to programme the music at the Cake Tin - he said he'd never not programme an Exponents song during a game. Any game.
He'd be the chap who programmed the Lions test then. The other gorgeous bit of programming that evening was the playing of Dobbo's 'Welcome Home' as the stadium was emptying out. That was magic.
