  • Hard News: Everyone's a critic,

    Oh, I didn't send it back.

    I'm a New Zealander. We don't like to make a fuss.

    Which is ironic, 'cause I'm pretty sure they would rather have made it right for you on the spot than have you write it on a forum for a few thousand people to see. But yeah, I'm like that too. Except for the "running a website read by thousands" bit. I'm practically a restaurateur's dream.

    The Grove was excellent -- except my pheasant entree had clearly been on the plate a little too long by the time it arrived, and was lukewarm.

    I wish I had fifty cents for every pheasant entree that I've sent back to a restaurant kitchen.

  • Up Front: The Up Front Guide: Dressing…,

    Did I wear stripped shirts? Don't think there are any photos.

    And even if there were, you wouldn't just take them willy-nilly to correlate to an outside, objective reality, now, would you? So you're in the clear either way.

    I feel your pain, Steve.

    Point of order: if you wish to smoke a pipe whilst in your dressing gown, you need to have your accounts audited by Deloittes first. I'm going to want to see some proof of income.

    If men are always up for it, then women never are. So we're not going to pursue you without a little extra encouragement.

    You got me there.

    I'm with Fletcher on this one - there a basic flaw in your whole premise.

  • Hard News: Reproduced Without Comment,

    I'm not saying that this is what happened, but short of ordering a hit it's hard to prevent somebody from returning to an Internet forum under a new name. You just hope that they'll eventually get the message I suppose.

    (By the way, if anybody ever needs to take a contract out on someone, I hope they speak to me first - it would be the culturally sensitive thing to do.)

    They serve magic drinks? I'm there.

  • Pass the crisps: UK Election watch,

    What reason would there be to vote for it again, if the leadership made it abundantly clear that the one time they get a hung parliament and hold the balance of power, all they do is get spooked and hand the Tories the bloody keys to office without concessions?

    I'm not suggesting they do it without concessions. I just can't see them getting major electoral reform through with a bare majority.
