  • Hard News: A Taxonomy of Poo,

    What are the conservative or right-wing equivalent poo labels that lefties use?

    Nazional, springs to mind, plus the general use of fascist etc

  • Hard News: Radio Times,

    So are shaving brushes, or so I've been told. Some of us still use those.

    Oh, won't someone please think of the badgers?

  • Island Life: What it don't get, I can't use.,

    Muldoon entered parliament in 1960, elected to PM in 1975. In between he was a pretty influential Minister.

    According to Brian Easton, Muldoon was the lowest ranked member of Holyoake's cabinet in the late 60s. (Easton is/was a terrific lecturer and a terrible name-dropper)

  • Hard News: So far from trivial,

    He characterises the assault as a "contretemps", speculates baselessly about provocation on the victim's part, blames the media, suggests that the victim should have been investigated for blackmail -- and winds up his column with a weirdly inappropriate biblical metaphor.

    I hope The Fundy Post isn't too upset.

    That article by Gilhooly is terrible. He calls that analysis? First few comments had me expecting the worst, and then someone called peter fox says

    The good thing with the boks is they always send a good strength team to NZ .

    Peter's clearly only been a rugby fan since Christmas cos Jake White sent an understrength side to NZ & Oz last year as part of his own <dirty word> reconditioning </dirty word> programme prior to the World Cup!

  • Speaker: It's OK, really,

    Ooh, I might go over to the other thread and lambast the use of All Black brand to describe what matters most about the ABs! :)

    Plus, I again wonder how much of the gnashing & wailing of teeth is created or reflected by our media, who remain rubbish.

  • Speaker: It's OK, really,

    I can’t recall an All Black loss at home that has been greeted with such universal apathy and resignation as this one. The stadium of 4 million people has gone pretty quiet.

    Heaven forbid this is the much-vaunted maturity people have been banging on about since the ridiculousness of 1999 & 2003? I wouldn't call it apathy, perhaps the acceptance that the other team turns up to win as well?
