Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to krothville,
The Stand Alone Ranger...
These commentators who keep spouting the nonsense that gen-y has ridiculous expectations are often the 50+ers, completely detached and so out of it.
On the Internet,
no -one knows how old you are...
...or even how out of it you are!My experience (as a flight-veteran of some 57 solar orbits) is that each generation has good and bad elements and attitudes...
and there's always bad apples...

Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Russell Brown,
Split milk...
What you you think about summing all this up into a guest post for us, FG?
Hell, I'd like to see him co-opted to run Fonterra, or at least advise them, it sounds like they need to hear, and do, stuff they have been avoiding for whatever reason...
Anything that based and dependant on the land and environment
has to be run better than Fonterra is being run now...Their just announced Farm Source initiative sounds like something they should have been doing from day one - but I can't find any more detail as it behind a membership wall at Fonterra's site...

Milk - any food - impoverished molecules in
- even further impoverished molecules out... -
Christ in a Cortina!
Why is Espiner asking Russel Norman about what the Labour Party is doing?
what a fecking waste of time ...Jeez RNZ, get on to the future or at least the present
stop sifting through the detritus of the past!Why does Espiner think that any statistic out of voters from Epsom says anything about the election in general....
I don't think I'll be able to quiet my mind at Yoga this morning...
bastards!

Foul play...
I seriously hope that 'Ballboys' Israel Dagg, Jonah Lomu and rower, Eric Wood all get the full fine for tweeting political support for National on Election Day...and Surely National spent more than $50,000 on their campaign...

After A Day At The Races...
Also, I’m pretty pissed off that all the coverage has been over the Labour leader thing, when will still have very little idea about what we can expect from the elected government over the next 3 years.

Usually after a big horse race, the media and public interest follows the big winners, leaving the also-rans to make their own way back to the stables largely untroubled (after all the jockeys get tested of course), unless there is an enquiry into the race the losers are forgotten about till next race (well aside from those who had money on them)...National, with all their dodgy form, has seemingly just disappeared from The Bird Cage leaving the Press to harry the losers. They should get their gumboots on and track National down at their champagne victory parties and let them know they are on notice to perform much, much better...

Sunday News
Who buys (or reads) the Sunday News these days, I haven’t even seen one for years?
And isn’t it just Fairfax’s lowest common denominator Truth clone? -

a sour-salt and buttery...
Fonterra eyes better peak milk flow control
The sooner they put in dedicated dairy pipelines across the landscape, the better...
... 24hr continuous batch brewed milk.
(it could be called 'Crem o' Tories')Better yet if they can powder it, perhaps it could be reduced further, to data on-farm and pumped thru the new rural broadband hook-ups, then reconstituted at the factory?
Am I helping yet?
Hmmm, a person who reports on solid dairy matters
could well be called a 'churnalist'...</just thought
I'd put that
past your eyes...> -

the udders whey…*
It still tastes like milk
I presume someone is using that slogan to good effect…**
Back in the ‘60s, when the A&P Show was in Addington,
if ya got up early one could bike from Sydenham
and get a billy filled with fresh milk direct from source,
I don’t think I’ve ever tasted ’milk’ quite like that again……those were the days
he said listeriacally!
*a cheap pun that just oh, curd…
or a subtle segue to a glimpse of a Kiwi classic?
…all will be revealed on the 7th of May!
**I'll check out one of those pouches you offer, though
I think Piko stocks them;- )

Hair apparent…
…the dawning of the Age of Aquariums
Tanks for that!
and when that dries up will it be followed by the Age of Fish Pieces?
I can see why a Zodiac would be useful, just for getting around on all that water, and fishing and stuff….
