his predilection for colourful ties and mismatched shirts.
I used to have a manager like this. We all thought he was cultivating a "wacky" persona. Then we found that he was profoundly colourblind.

That was actually not-publicity-shy Cameron Brewer of the Newmarket Business Association. He'd probably agree to being interviewed naked if it got him on the telly.
Actually, Kerry is referring to the guy from Working Style. So, yes, TV3 interviewed TWO people, on location, about Tony Ryall's dress sense. And it was part of the 6pm bulletin.
Guess swine flu is over, huh?

Gotta get balance in the story, can't just report one side's opinion on the matter!

Anecdotally, I gather that Richard Prebble had the exact same problem - his wife used to pair his shirts and ties for him each day. Definitely a problem if she was ever away.

Goodness me, Mr. Wishart has "responded" to Gareth Renowden with a rambling, sneering monologue on his website that reads like it was recorded for him by Traudl Junge.
His followers, reassured with the knowledge that Wenck's 12th army is indeed coming the rescue, have of course declared victory. -
Although I dont normally feel the need to comment on politicians or interviewees dress sense myself....
I thought Cameron Brewer's tie was just a bit too bright and jumpy-outy for someone complaining about another's dress sense...
The pot calling the kettle lurid?

JoJo,
Unfortunately, the Monday papers aren't any better.
There's an article on Stuff - in the "Business Day" section, no less - about who is NZ's hottest business woman.
Unbelievable.

JoJo - Ugh. You couldn't make up stuff like that.
-
JoJo,
Tom - Someone has pointed out to all the outraged commenters that they're doing a hottest businessman article tomorrow, so therefore it's FAIR and we PC whingers should just get a life.
I'm going to hide in Public Address until I can find a better source of news.

Why, competence is so last century. Hawtness is the characteristic I first look for in any businessperson. I may not understand a word they're saying but at least I'll have something pretty to nod and smile at. And that's just the men.

You're so shallow.

It's my defining characteristic. :)

You probably think this post is about you.

well would someone please elucidate for me the reasons that this Mr Laws' column on epidemica is a monument of "comprehensive ignorance"?
-
i'd also like to pop up at this wee juncture if i may and proclaim that, for all his topical joie de vivre and sheer readability, our Mr. Brown's periodic pronouncements on religion (and its exceedingly complex relations to the theory of biological evolution in its now myriad forms) are more often than not the product of something perhaps more pernicious still, and that is a learned, dedicated ignorance, supported in colorful chorus by a thousand pre-satisfied, nay, 'pre-shrunk' customers..
-
Yes, well, indeed little p....
Did God tell you to say that?
-
I can't see who or what else would have prompted it, unless Mr p has been drawn by Russell's mention of Ian Wishart.
-

No, we have it on good authority that Mr Brown buys his whisky, rather than distilling his own.
-
I can testify (about the whisky, not higher matters). And doesn't any pronouncing around these parts about religious issues tend to come from expat loonies, rather than our host's hand?

If god hadn't meant there to be swine flu (s)he'd've given pigs hands, so they could take Lhawsie's advice & wash 'em.
-
As one of "Mr Brown's" supposedly pre-shrunk customers I must say I hadn't noticed that Big Russ does religion to any noticeable extent.
So the lower-case mr jarvie can 'p forrester' off IMO.
-
I'd just like to add that The More Pernicious Still is a GREAT name for a bar.
-
That's the other thread surely. Hic.
