Problems with Freeview DVRs...
I want to record John Key on Letterman.
The ad on Prime TV says it will be on at 6pm on Friday.
Prime TV website say it will be on at 6pm on Friday and 6pm on Monday.
Freeview EPG says 6pm Friday is Who wants to be a Classic Millionaire?, and that 7pm Monday will be John Key. When and what do I record?

Not 'actress', then?
One assumes they still use words like 'aviatrix' - 'pilot' would just be too confusing.
I saw the same link, then noted you (Emma, not Lyndon) had used the verb waitressed, and wondered if there might be sympathy with Joe Bennett.

(... Nelson, if he'd lost the world would have been a better place)
Not Wellington?
Or Alexander I?

Where is Battlestar Galactica up to in the reruns? And could you start from here and still "get it"?
A few eps into the first season (which was preceded by a miniseries). You could start from here and get it, but of course, it's better not to. But it does mean you don't have to borrow that many DVDs before you can start watching it at an episode a week :-)

Have we the first nominee for word of the year?

... and realising what is misspelt.
Are you sure that's not misspelled ?

p.s. I like the 50-comments-a-page deal.

It may be that innocent bystanders copped some pepper spray, but it's hard to criticise the police when they're under fire with bricks and bottles, and when dickheads are setting light to things.
Actually, it's pretty easy.
The police are justified in using pepper spray (or other reasonable force depending on the circumstances) to do the following:
act in self-defence;
act in defence of someone else;
arrest someone;
suppress a riot.
etc.They are not justified in using force to "get compliance". And if police want that power they can ask Parliament to pass a law giving them that power. But until then, they can beg off.
Arrest and charge rioters. Arrest and charge brick- and bottle-throwers. That's the job. Otherwise "getting compliance" is not.

I do think some of the criticism of the EFA was frankly hysterical, but the means of its creation was indefensible; a shambles.
What about the criticism of the EFB?
If a bill banning MPs from issuing press releases isn't an attack on democracy, I'm not sure you'll ever find one.

'we'll do whatever we think is right and anyone who doesn't agree can go fuck themselves'
It strikes me that we have an array of political commentators across spectrums that have personal issues with the labour movement because that comment is utter rubbish.
"haters and wreckers"?

... "every electorate seat" won by a party that gets less than 5% of the vote would be an overhang, I meant.
There's no reason to draft a hypothetical electoral law like that. You could treat electorate seats won by parties not crossing the threshold the same as we currently treat seats won by independents (who don't create overhang).
