    Sound business practice?

    If Sky City thinks it a good business deal to build a conference venue then why do they need changes to the gambling laws? how is building a conference venue such a huge favour to the Government that they need a reciprocal bum lick?

    A bit off topic but still annoyingly corrupt SkyCity conference project back on Joyce radar

    Under SkyCity's proposal, it would meet the full $350 million cost of construction but in return wanted alterations to gambling laws, including moves to extend its licence to 2021 and to have more pokie machines and gaming tables.
    ....
    Last month Steven Joyce said he believed "on the balance of probabilities" that the project would go ahead.

    So Sky City just has to promise to build a conference centre, which no doubt will be used for National's conferences and Joyce will change the law to suit them. What is that if not pure corruption?

    According to Steven Joyce we have too many Can'ts in this country, I reckon he just needs spellcheck.

    Only if you privatize it.

    That's why I said "Occupy" we already own it, we just have to make use of what we own. "Occupy TVNZ7" has quite @ nice ring to it. Don'cha think?.

    Badalamenti/Lynch-like influence

    Everything is derivative of Badalamenti/Lynch, even stuff written years before. When you hear a phrase from almost anything they worked on I find it evokes a feeling that any composer that had used similar phrasing meant it to feel like this. Spooky.

    Can't you sell your show to Maori TV?

    Couldn't we "Occupy" TVNZ7 and run "Public Address TV" ?

    Burnt bacon is definitely my favourite carcinogen, steak is nicer rare.

    No. Having your body's chemistry turn acidic causes cancer. The Nobel prize for medicine was given decades ago for this little tid bit of information....

    sorry, i didn't really answer your question

    Yes and no. The carbon that is produced when a food is burnt is a carcinogen but since it doesn't taste good anyway you are unlikely to eat enough to cause cancer. Food cooked over charcoal also has carbon but again you'd have to eat alot to get cancer.

    Scientific studies have been released warning the public against too much smoking of food, BBQ over open flames, burnt food particles. Cancerous, they said.

    Only if it was grilled with charcoal

    Ah, the depth of human understanding leaves me speechless sometimes.

    I fear for Lana and her upcoming obscurity, I mean she didn't expose any body parts at the rugby sevens how the hell can she expect to remain famous?
