I forget if there is a preparation method.
Ah, I see what you did there....

I do have to agree with my fellow plutocrats that eating babies is overrated.
The children of the undeserving poor are so malnourished these days that they are either quite flavourless, or having been fed or a steady diet of junk food since birth, tend to leave a slightly chemical aftertaste, and give one gas.
I suspect that with the increase in gst, this situation will only get worse as more families struggle to put the wholesome, nutritious food on the table that is required to produce the delicious nippers I have come to expect. Still, one has one's crosses.

better start toughening the wee man up for a life of productive work to pay it all back. he's only 18months, but he'll likely start needing to be at work by the time he's 8 or 10.
I have a chimney that's desperately in need of a clean, especially with the onset of winter.
I was going to send my 7-month old daughter up there (hey, I'm in the top tax bracket so I'm clearly evil to the bone), but send him round. He'll get a shiny thruppence if he does a good job.
But if anyone is giving odds, I back the ninjas to come from outta nowhere and clean up.
We do need to catch up with Australia, after all.

Dyan, you could apply the same argument to sex, though.
Wasn't around on the telly or in films much a few decades back, now it's everywhere. But that doesn't mean that people weren't getting it on back in the day.
Same with drinking. Just cos it wasn't on telly, doesn't mean that young folk weren't partying till they puked.

ponies :(
i was expecting ponies.
Well, use your extra money in the pocket to buy a pony on easy credit terms.
But bear in mind that with the increase in gst on fodder, you may not be able to feed it. So unless you're buying it in order to make tasty pony stew in the stockpot, then it's not a good idea.
However, if you're self-employed, you could use the pony as your work vehicle, and claim back the gst on fodder, plus write off the stabling costs against expenses, and have a nice little sideline in selling manure to the local garden centre. Quids in!
That's the problem with this country. No entreprenurial vision.

I think the urban myth was about Kevin's best friend from The Wonder Years, that kid who looks like Milhouse. He *does* look rather like Marilyn Manson.
Yes, my mistake. It was Kevin's best mate Paul who is/was the subject of the urban myth.

Devonport's not the Shore, really.
This is what I've been saying for years. The sooner we can stick an Iron Curtain across Narrowneck and secede from the hoi polloi on the rest of the shore, the better.

people paying the top personal rate included skilled professionals like... engineers
Aha. Ahahahahah. Ahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Ohhhhh, that's a good one. He is a card, that Mr Key.

And Dead Kennedys without Jello Biafra? Not the Dead Kennedys
Well, he does seem to have spent most of the last 15-odd years fighting some sort of brush war with the rest of the band (an urban guerrilla conflict?)
Dead Can Dance's album The Serpent's Egg, which was one my favourite albums of 1988-89.
Anyone else amused that a thread intended for discussion of 2010's culture has spun off into a discussion based around bands of the 1980's? Are we retro, ironic, or just too old to keep up?

I get the impression that cracking down on the Wayward Yoof is the Key government's Big Idea.
What with the seemingly endless stories about dead drunk kids and after-ball parties, May does appear to be 'won't somebody think of the children' month at the herald.
