Hard News: Why we thought what we thought, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
That was what I thought about the debate in a poetic little nutshell. Key seemed to have morphed into Muldoon. Not drunk, surely? Hyped himself up to win over the audience with his famed sense of humour? He made David Cunliffe look statesman-like - a major gaffe and unmade points notwithstanding.

Great attitude ... bold, brave and resolute. I'd vote for you if I was in the electorate!

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to JLM,
Thanks for the poem. Comforting after finishing the book.
Trying not to hate the perpetrators who seem to detest most of their fellow NZers.

A, B and G. Having read PA for YEARS I've been educated in many things including attitudes to disability, mainly autism. I often forget to watch it but Attitude on TV ONE Sunday mornings is such a fabulous show that it deserves a mainstream time slot. I get angry that trivialities prevail and I'm always grateful when one of you points to the show on this site or Twitter.
My husband has dementia and is in a home. This has thrown me into the world of mental disability.
Now I'm kind of disabled myself although I think of it as being disfigured. I'm a little bit scarred on the face and a little bit speech impaired after several cancers. Can't eat proper food. Very mobile but always found social interaction hard and now it's going to be even more of a challenge. I'm looking for a creative outlet (I'm sort of newly retired) or some sort of community work where I can help others at the same time as getting out there among people.

Fantastic reviews. Infectious enthusiasm. Have to say, though, that I found 12 Years a Slave unsatisfying if that makes sense.

Going through the alphabet with NZ place names (mainly towns but I allow Vinetown, Whangarei and Upper Hutt) helps. And if that doesn't work I do international countries and cities.

Legal Beagle: Fact check: Q+A on mayoral…, in reply to Sacha,
Yes, but I expected Corin Dann or Susan Wood to pull them up on this - or the esteemed political scientist on the panel.

Hard News: The non-binary council, in reply to Carol Stewart,
Tend to agree but heard a few pertinent points out around Auckland today. One was from a woman who said, Well we'd rather know, wouldn't we? Hmmmm. And my daughter in law said, I'm from London. If a politician hadn't stolen money or had an affair there would be something wrong.
