  • Island Life: I can see clearly now,

    Actually Josh, they are right. Hitler's doctor Theo Morrell doped him up with all sorts of junk, including methamphetamine.

  • Cracker: No Kitty Blues,

    That's terrible Damien. As a Ragdoll owner I know just how endearing those big fluffy white monsters can be.

    I am sure Tonka is at the Cat Pearly Gates meowing to be let in, or inside the Cat Pearly Gates meowing to be let out.

    I hear Lone Star do a fried fish and chips, with a Scotch on the rocks if you wait long enough.

    I thought about multiple copies of Doug Graham and cried.

    Anyone interested in a campaign to bring back `Master ' and 'Mistress'?

    That's for the youth is it not? I remember the building anticipation of my early teens when I would transform from a "Master" to a "Mister" on my thirteenth birthday.

    Apathy Jack, a teaching God who has at his command an army of unwavering 13 to 25 year olds from Greenlane to Otahuhu with a smple text message, requires "Sir" to used.

    To my mind that settles the matter.

  • PA Radio: Resisting the Resistance,

    I hadn't despised the Kiwibank ads for the reasons Craig mentions - though I can see his point. It's just the visceral gutter xenophobia that runs through them all, even that mildly heinous car ones.

    Pump on the "local" angle if you must, but why not do it positively like the "Buy NZ Made" campaign.

    You see, back in my day, "detailing a hummer" was just tickling his balls when he reached the vinegar stroke. Funny how language changes.

    Careful Ben, my better half is Irish. :-)

    If I don’t bag ten, I have to detail his Hummer.

    I can't keep up with how you young people evolve the language, is "bagging ten" the same as a teabagging? Is "detailing a Hummer" the new reacharound?

    Now I want to be a politician also.

  • Speaker: The Audacity of Hype: John Key…,

    I look forward to the day when he likens them to the Israelites escaping captivity in a latter-day Egypt - with the subtle implication that he might be just the modern Moses to lead them home, parting the Tasman’s waters in the process.

    Moses didn't lead the Israelites home, he led them into the wilderness for forty years and was not allowed to enter the Promised Land, that prize went to Joshua (Gerry Brownlee?)
