Mate... our people are going through your Metro piece as I type... I mean, I domn't want to be precipitous, but we've put the effigy maker on high alert.

Now is the time for someone to post their mum's lambchop recipe.

Cunnamulla - I was a long way through this movie before I realised that both of the young women who featured prominently were supposedly aboriginal.
Damned depressing film.

"able to pass sweeping - and completely wrong - generalisations about a game after just a few minutes of play, able to completely mis-interpret the evidence of our own eyes in a way that suggests he is simply guessing about whats going on out there"
This is exactly the beef I have with Brendan Telfer - if Telfer tells you the (insert franchise name here) is well in control tonight, you just know that they're 20 points behind & about to lose another 10 points in a row.

Off the rugby for a moment, but still on commentators - anyone know who subbed for Brendon Telfer in the netball semis?
Missed his name, but we knew it wasn't Telfer because he knew the rules, the players, managed to remember the score & appeared to be able to read the game.
Telfer was back for the final though.

I believe they lived next door to John Key & his mum.

Having re-read the original post I am unable to see any mention of that topic.
I am looking forward to a future post on welfare accomodation fraud, so that those of you who know so much about housing might all be able to express some thoughts on Fay and Richwhite.Cool, I'll dust off some of the old stories from when F & R were welfare defrauding, state house tenants.

by packing everyone down like a scrum and then charging up it screaming be an MP? It's just not right
More practise... for caucus meetings.

Board didn't get added to your total income as the holder of the tenancy, which is kind of a loophole for tenants I suppose, depending on how much board your flatmates paid. But this was a few years ago, so maybe they've changed that now...? Plus Andrew will probably tell me that management policy is actually totally different. :)
Actually as far as I know you're right & it hasn't changed. And it IS a loophole for some, although tenancy managers told me that it's a hard one to police because not everyone declares it.
it was/is a favourite parliamentary question. Some (not many) tenants were paying income related rents, taking in boarders & making a profit.
Oh and Danielle - one thing I didn't address before - no way do I consider HNZC tenancy managers incompetent in general. I've tagged along behind one or two on their rounds & I have nothing but respect for the jobs they do & the difficulties they face each day.

The Labour Party even paid for me to fly to Wellington and get drunk there.
That was just practise, in case you became an MP.
