Craig - never mind my last sentence, it got garbled going from brain to keyboard. Apologies.
And yes, agree that an accusation of sock puppetry is unfair. Not quite sure if Keith in fact did that, although you don't seem to see much difference between "you SOUND like the National party research unit" and "you ARE the National party research unit." I think there is a difference, and DPF certainly opens himself up to the former allegation with headlines of the breathless Nat-fellating nature of that highlighted by Russel a couple of posts up.
Point remains, sockpuppetry or otherwise aside - DPF is making up BS to support National.

Craig, come on.
Did DPF post misleading numbers, in an attempt to score political points? Yes.
This is turning into a wee bit of a shit fight, yeah, but Keith actually has a point. Which DPF did, and you seem to be, too.

This sounds familiar... was the post prompted in any way by the discussion you, I, and Mrs Skin were having on a previous thread?

Oh and Kyle - Sharks implode at playoff time again. How a team that good plays so badly in the playoffs is beyond me.
[it only took 1 year in Canada to turn me into a hockey nut... and that's with my local team being the incredibly, consistently shitty Leafs! Hence adopting the Bruins]
-
Cool! Thanks Kyle.
Time to watch the Bruins wins the cup...

Umm... for a start, anyone that wants to stream video properly, Mark?
For example, NHL coverage in NZ is almost impossible to get. I'd quite like to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs on the NHL.com website, but their streaming service requires 750 kbps to get a smooth viewing experience. The puck's hard enough to see on good quality video, let alone choppy. I get just over 200 on avg on my (vodafone packaged resale of telecom's infrastructure) 'broadband' ADSL connection.

Oh dear. Poneke appears to have added pandemic influenza to things that he'd rather didn't exist. Cos Y2K, global warming, and pandemic influenza are all functionally the same.
*headdesk*
Although as I say that, here is an example of genuine media hysteria. ZOMG 3 YEAR OLD REPORT STOP ECONOMY DOOMED STOP

Re the media coverage, it’s almost as if there is some feeling of national importance in that we’re at the forefront of “developed” infected countries.
We’ve got groups of potentially infected schoolkids and Australia has ... nothing.
That is utterly barmy... and probably true. Ugh. Small country chip on shoulder syndrome. We're in the international news! It must be good!
-
But seriously, the media brouhaha over this is just stunning.
Agree. I think the government response here (and, from what I've read, in Canada and the US) has been very sensible - low-level action to reduce risk and possible contact. How that turned into a hysterical media scrum I'm not quite sure.

Let's have a purge of the BRT, EMA, people with glasses, and the ideologically impure. Using the flu.
