I manage mostly to keep them away by sluicing my nostrils warm salty water as soon as I get that sore feeling at the back of my nose. You don't have to drown yourself. Just sniff it gently till you get some in your mouth
0.9% is the optimum solution, apparently.

I/S is quite right. Such "accomodations" are cancerous and corrosive of the electoral system. That said, this Mt. Albert elector unfortunately has his money firmly on a Nat win, at this stage. Labour will have to do something special to retain the seat.

There is no apostrophe in the possessive pronoun "its". Nor is there an apostrophe in the possessive pronouns "his" and "hers".
However, when "it is" is abbreviated to "it's" then, of course, an apostrophe signals the loss of an original letter.
As a retired teacher I am dismayed at our incompetence in helping our students to master this simple understanding.
Sir, I applaud you. However, you need to get with the programme and realise that defending decent grammar is frightfully unhip these days.

Heh. That's the one. Note: NOT photoshopped.

Russell, you have to put a space between the quote thing and the italics thing.
You'll learn. :) -
Well, either someone at Nightline knows something the rest of the world doesn't, or...someone at Nightline was half-asleep when they put that graphic together. Any bets on which?
I suspect that former, since the 3News graphics crew has until now never screwed up an image ;)
Nice screencap, Mark. I wish someone had got last Wednesday's Close Up , which included a shot of Paul Henry standing in front of a screen displaying a user comment which read, in total, "Paul Henry is a dickhead."

If you can't rely on the people who write dictionaries to be pendants... the world really is ending.
I know. They probably also give "imply" as a definition of "infer."

I'm just saying that no-one accused 3410 of promoting the site
Heaven forbid. I was blowing their cover. I didn't want to straight-out accuse, but it looked totally dodgy to me.

Who are these people?
[EXPLOITATION SITE LINK DELETED.
3410, don't take offence -- it was perfectly reasonable to link and ask the question, but I don't want to let this guy suck our Google goodness any longer now - RB]

I think that last year, with Tony on the verge of becoming the major New Zealand television presence, God said: "No, no, Tony. Not yet. There is something that has to be paid for. You have to pay for it and it's up to you to find your way back."
I like this bit. By assaulting his girlfriend "Tony" temporarily remains in the ranks of the Great Unwashed with the rest of us, his ascension to Superhumanness - along with Holmes, presumbly - having to wait until he is worthy. WTF?
On the plus side, this has motivated me to devote real time and energy to keeping that douchebag out of the mayoralty should he, as has been rumoured, anounce his candidacy for that office.
