  • Yellow Peril: Oink,

    Look, can't we leave politics out of food! But then, The Little School Cook Book appeared by Chef Key...

  • Yellow Peril: Oink,

    Tze, you better put out your own cookbook, I will buy it. You do both food and politics really well, don't ever let the bastards grind you down (not that somehow I think you would).

    Sichuan food is not a crowd-pleasing coconut-creamy curry nursemaid. It is an angular, vinegary taskmistress with a dry chilli riding crop, but a heart of golden sesame. It drives out the damp and humidity, which is the perfect Traditional Chinese Medicine prescription for life in Auckland.

    This is gold.

  • Island Life: I'll cry if I want to,

    Boy you told me there Don. Cabled with what, copper? And I like the way you consider stadia right there alongside sewers.
    As for Weli, it exists on the taxpayers largesse. And I'm guessing you wouldn't want me type of people working there, eh?
    So, let me follow the logic, without the rate payers fronting up for the events, the city and ergo it's businesses would die?
    What businesses would those be Don?

  • Random Play: Alt.Nation: Word . . . Up,

    Hey Marcus, I'll pit my NZ journo's against your Brit journos anytime! I jest, I jest, glib that's me.
    I'm with RB, we're bloody well served considering The Man is usually from offshore and likes his widdle Kiwi's to be warm, cuddly and strictly POCO, (post colonial).
    Besides in a place this small we just can't go too wide.

    I read in the Herald that RWC is going to make a 30 million loss. And where does it say in the Deckchair Do-up that they must improve the roads, trains parking or otherwise around the venue to cope with all those people?

    Glib moralising, moi? Ouch! The fourth estate is dead because advertising is dead. It's like relying on billboards and RWC's and Merica's Cup (TM) to promote your local business by proxy.
    That's what thar Interweb is for!

    Don, if you're relying on the Council (ratepayers) to prop up your business you're madder than I am.
    Sure rugby is the nat game, I love it, so why did we sell The All Blacks?

  • Hard News: You can't moan,

    I confess, I sent you there to suffer, as I did. The problem appears to be that there is NO Policy over arching the Environment. See Hucker is saying that outdoor is environmental pollution (cribbed no doubt from Praque), perhaps ACC and ARC need to get together and write an Environment Policy?
    And if they have one, can we see it?
