    Tom - I kind of agree with you - but I can imagine more of a town/country businessman/farmer split in the Nats

  • Hard News: Don't bother voting,

    The big problem with these polls is that we don't know how they treat undecided voters - if one of them brow-beats them into submission until they choose someone and the other just doesn't count them then these sorts of differences are quite possible - really I'd like to see them state the number of undecided voters as part of the results

  • Hard News: Everybody's vogueing on the…,

    Oh please (puts on old dusty chip designer's hat) electromigration happens to aluminium traces (takes off hat, put on tacky hunting cap) and it's all steel shot these days anyway ...

  • Random Play: Make It Easy On Yourself,

    I'm reminded by the story a few years back about some Aussie tourists (I think) who used their in-car nav system to go from Nelson to Chch - it chose the most direct route - some time later on a one lane dirt farm road tacked to the side of a mountain they realised it may not have been be exactly the best idea - there's a reason that road goes through Kaikoura

    I suspect the Chinese and Babylonians might disagree about printing and indoor plumbing resp.

    I'd like to add:

  • Hard News: Proud Wednesday,

    Wow - Patu! - the poster always claims "you may even be in it" - but I never had a chance to actually look at the crowd scenes in detail

    I once saw it at an anti-apartheid film festival in Berkeley CA in the old UC theatre (same place they did the live Rocky Horror midnight show) - I never really knew any kiwis in the US, we were few and far between - but when Muldoon made an appearance in the film there were scattered boos in the dark from around the theatre

  • Busytown: Age cannot wither me,

    oh please - it used to be that 40 was the new 30 -not any more - these days it's 50 that's the new 30.

    Mind you I'm biased having just clocked 50 - my partner is 6 months older than me - I'm not allowed to agonise about this stuff - by the time I get around to it it's old hat and we're over it
