  • Up Front: This is a Photograph of Me,

    Firearms licences are cool. You could get one of those.

    You know when someone is applying for a passport, and they have to have people who don't live with them sign statements on photos saying that you are really you and that the photo is a good likeness, etc. And Internal Affairs might ring that person to check they actually signed it (but this almost never happens)?

    Well firearms licences aren't like that at all. A cop will actually visit the house of those people who agree you should have the licence and talks to them for like 15 minutes.

  • Hard News: Aspie On,

    I'm coming from the perspective of a parent who loves a little person on the spectrum (and a human rights enthusiast).

    School vouchers as a human right ... don't talk to Roger Douglas.

    So Mr Hide has "never agreed with any view that Russell Brown has."

    Can we list the others things we now know Rodney disagrees with?

  • Field Theory: A post about art (sort of),

    That it should, but art and architecture are the two creative activities that everyone thinks they can do.

    I'm the opposite. By definition, if I could do it, it's not art.

    I did the trig and here's an estimate of the width

    I did some trigonometry the other day. It was pretty weird finding a use for it =)

    I think you do him too much credit. The discussion was entirely about Auckland's new CCOs, subsequent to the letter from the head of Local Government NZ.

    I'm suggesting (without having heard the discussion) that Rodney knew the discussion was about Auckland's new CCOs, and knew the criticisms were accurate, and didn't want to say this, so chose to make a statement about CCOs generally, trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes, but "without technically lying".

    I'm not sure that this would be to his credit.

    It's one of the many things I love about American sports, the honouring of history.

    We could retire the number 13 =)

  • Hard News: Aspie On,

    It was in shops (or at least a shop) yesterday.

    He just told Sean Plunket on Morning Report that CCOs are "bound to do what council wants them to do. They're entirely directed by local councils."

    Was he talking about CCOs generally, or specific CCOs in Auckland that don't yet exist? Because you seem to think the latter, but it reads like he's being sneaky and saying the former (possibly disingenuously, given that I don't know the question).

    Really, what are you on about?

    I paraphrased at one point what I thought Craig was saying, and have been answering questions about it since.
