Hard News: A thing that rarely ends well,
Russell
It is not clear to me what point you are making here
"Swanky restaurant" is a bar, so
And surely any job in Monarco that could get you on "a " list could be considered glamrous, if you like that sort of thingPersonally I think the whole thing puts New Zealand in a poor light and gives the impression that honours can be bought by "rich pricks" if they stump up!!

Nice post Emma, I have always liked your comments so bring it on -
Hard News: What to make of the spray,
I just wish they had used plain H2O and counted the complaints
There just are some people who love to complain/whineAnd in the interests of fairness/natural justice I have to tell you there were people in the south who thought we should just nuke the whole dam place.........not my opinion just what people said
Anyway job well done Jim S and Jim A -
OnPoint: Back! (And on the Crusading Herald),
If it is all about money
And there is transparency ie we know where it comes from
Something Labour talk up but as yet refuse to demandWhat is the difference between using your own money or using the money you removed (somewhat in surplus to their real needs) from the tax payer
That is supposing money/advertising will change their vote

Hard News: Dopamine psychosis and other…,
Agree 100% Russell
God this blogging adiction is turning my personal politics as well as wasting time
Anyway
Gambling will always be with us and the poor are often driven by circumstances to gamble
Not sure what the answer is but pokies should be made really hard to access, not next door to the local easy credit shop
There was a time when the TAB was the only legal way of betting and it was required to be very low profile, bring it back -
Speaker: Not quite everything you ever…,
An excellent distilation of the bail laws Graeme
