"Snouts in Troughs". Somebody remind me again why I should temper my belief that the Dominion Post doesn't meet minimum standards to qualify as a newspaper?

Who says that house-pets aren't libertarians?

I was once given two of these.
And now I know what to get Robyn for Christmas.

Yup.

I fear, Craig, that in the search for the pungent phrase you may have lost your sense of perspective somewhat.
It's always in the last place you look. Take it from me.

Shit, "the unproductive/reproductive" is a great phrase, you have to hand it to them. And then, seeing as their hands will be busy holding the "it" you just handed to them, POW, you punch them right in the face.

You'll be missed here, thank goodness for Twitter.
Unless the demands of @davidslack's remarkable output played a part in this departure, in which case, fuck Twitter.
You'll be sorely missed, David. It's been a pleasure to follow you on Public Address.
When you're next in Wellington, don't forget I owe you a beer, and some socks.

That's lovely stuff Gio. Hope you have a few more Cup tales up your sleeve in the coming weeks?
I don't think so, but perhaps our gracious host could spare a thread about world cups past. One could reminisce about France v. W. Germany 1982, or France v. Brazil 1986, or Cameroon v. England in 1990... there have been some good games.
(also: thank you!)

I must say that aside from the silly puritan angle with the porn I find all these scandals - the Taito Philip Fields grouting saga, the Bollinger, the rented films, the minibar - immensely endearing. I come from a country where the expense accounts of Parlamentarians reach tryly epic proportions. One of our MPs charged a whole house to it, and when it came up he claimed not to know about it (which spawned the brilliant Facebook group "People who buy you a house without your knowledge"). I also approve of the taking of exception. Again, not necessarily of the tone of the coverage, but that people should be bothered - yeah, I think it's very healthy.

If you're a user of Google Calendar I can heartily recommend adding the FIFA World Cup calendar dates to it.
Thank you for that, sir. *Very* handy.
Never one to pass up an opportunity for self-promotion, but also thinking it might be of genuine interest to fellow buffs, I offer something I wrote this week about my favourite world cup game ever.
