Hard News: What Now?, in reply to Steve Barnes,
Well Steve I am fairly sure someone here was calling for John Key to stay away
Was it you? -
While I think having Russell as PM might be interesting I am not sure that Russell would enjoy the down side
Taxing the rick pricks and then levying them can only go so far
I don't see it as a fun job frankly, as for leading the team, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Imagine a controlling a dog sledge team who want your job and are prepared to kill to get it -
Great to hear it worked for you Robyn
Are there any figures on how many people have been accepted into PACE -
That seems reasonable way to deal with the problem of locals not knowing what is happening. It also means that people who actually view the building will be in a position to act
Maybe when it comes to action those who wish to save our heritage should be able through by either putting their hands in their pockets or through cheap loans be able to buy the affected properties at an agreed valuation
It is easy to complain about changes but ownership (by Trusts and locals etc) does give better results, in my opinion -
Yes, when I heard I that the military were not going to act against the protesters that was a"game over" moment
Something special about watching history in action
Who next -
These are the times that our PM is an embarassment
How quickly people forget
Remember Miss Clark being attacked for talking on her cell phone etc
It is good to remember that the rest of the world does not look to NZ for direction -

Damian like you I have worked bars, in my case motor bike conventions etc
And I know when you are sober and you are dealing with people who have been drinking and maybe partaking of drugs (legal etc) how you see something and they see it are two different planets
That said I wasn't there and assult is unacceptable
The point about the mob was not the 12 of you there but who might be under cover if the owner didnn't keep the area clear of non customers -
Wonder who would have complained if he couldn't get his nice glass of wine because there was a mob of beer swillers/drunken yobs under the awning huddling out of the rain
Just saying,
It easy to complain if you don't have to deal with the public and the hassle -
It is proper for your parents to die before you and you to die before your children; it is when this is upset that things get really difficult
When my father died, three of us were sitting there, waiting. Fairly relaxed about the process, he hadn't been happy about losing his abilities and had wished for what was finally happening
His breathing got slower, the pauses longerNow in explanation I must say we were all of rural upbringing.
When a lamb is born and does seem to want to start breathing, there is a way of touching it that often triggers the breath reflexSo yes someone (me) reached over and gave him the touch, it worked but we didn't do it the next time he slowed down
We treated his funeral as a time to celebrate his rather extortionary life, as most lives are
