Bugger all this pedantry business. Welcome back, Damian - here's to having more time to do what you want to do. Isn't that what life should be about, after all?

I, for one, can't bear to think of Key running this country, so I'm ignoring this entire post. I'm just here to ask Mr F McDonald if he'd please come back to the Listener..........

Simplistic the icons may be, but I think they speak to some of the major percieved differences in viewpoints.

And all I can say is how sad it is that our institutions of higher learning are becoming so very shortsighted in their abolition of Departments, and courses.

I didn't say we shouldn't talk about suicide Steven, I said we shouldn't _ _judge_ _those who take their own lives.

I'm glad you had a think about it Steven, because your original post, though impassioned, caused me to think that you may have forgotten that one of our own people took his own life not too long ago. We don't know why because most of us didn't know Finn personally, and I would suggest that it's not for us to judge why people take their own lives.

Getting up from dinner to answer the door to a neighbour whose abusive relationship had finally come to a brief physical assault. Another of our neighbours was with her, and they'd come to ask advice "because you're in that TV ad". We agreed it needed to reported, and the police came later. She's out, she's strong and it's going to be alright. It was the surge in reported family violence in action, and it's a great thing, because really, It's Not OK.
Sometimes, I thought, being on TV does do some proper good.
Using it for the good, Russell. It's what it's all about. Made me cry.

nice, Russell, very nice - no frilly dicky bits and lovely objective questioning from you. It makes you realise just how dumbed down our news in the MSM has become.

Ah yes, Rob - Mother Goose, yes?
