  • Hard News: Of course it's about the book,

    Oooh no. Labour needs to keep its foot on Nationals throat...certainly for long enough that others can get a hold....

    How interesting James. Does that mean that National will be purchasing advertising for charities for the next two years? *g*

  • Hard News: Of course it's about the book,

    Stuff is reporting that...'Some of New Zealand's wealthiest men and women spent more than $4m in a bid to get Don Brash elected as prime minister'..... plus another million from the EB.


    Is this loot supposed to be declared to anyone?

  • Island Life: All stadium, all the time,

    The situation reminds me of the hounds tearing into a fox that has been tossed their way.

    Surely Aucklanders have spent too much time stalled on their motorways and being grumpy for any clarity of thought....or mebbe it is the spring sap rising......

  • Hard News: More than a little odd,

    Shaping? Skype? I live in Dunedin. I have expended time and money and have gone onto Xtra's broadband. When the first 'upgrade' came along to 3.5 mb...I stayed at an average of 1.7. Numerous emails and even a technician came to the house to check things out. The result?...an explanation that the exchange couldn't push it out any faster and a suggestion I drop back a plan.

    Now with all the brakes off...my speed has decreased to an average of 1.2 mb and we are back in 'negotiations 'with xtra as before.

    I wonder if Telecom has simply not invested in software and hardware...and we are just being lied to. Certainly this is third world stuff.
