as some portly British couple go through the process of buying up a holiday home in some impoverished east European country.
The key is that they *never buy anything*. They go through all the houses and ooh and aah, and then privately bitch about the size of the bedrooms, politely fob off the host of the programme, and try to find something even cheaper and more exploitable elsewhere...
I love the Living Channel. Everyone on it sucks. :)

just learn to drink 'coffee' their way.
There is something to be said for very, very fresh filter coffee in an American diner. I will give them that.
(And the New Lynn Foodtown is open 24 hours, isn't it?)

and don't accept the conclusion of your analysis, if that is the word you want to use to describe what you have embarked on here.
Since I've made no real conclusions about The Very Public Angst of Veitch, I think you're perhaps mixing me up with someone else in the thread.
Also? I'll call it analysis, because *that's what it is*. Thanks.

Gene Krupa is a *badass*.
(I also vote for Al Jackson, Jr, member of the MGs and Stax house drummer; Pete Thomas, cadaverous-looking Attraction; and good old Jim Keltner, just for having drummed on, like, everything in the whole world. Even Gary Wright's 'Dreamweaver', for goodness' sake!)

Or maybe some modified version of the bat signal, casting the shadow of a silly looking wig or something. Or, I hesitate to suggest, an ambulance driving across the clouds for him to follow?
It should be a modified Snoopy in the silly-looking wig, surely. 'Legal Beagle'!

and quietly many drummers rate Ringo Starr even if only for the Ticket To Ride
'Rain'! I vote for 'Rain'!
(HB, RB.)

You don't know whether he is sorry or not.
There are all sorts of things none of us 100% know about other people, since mind-reading is fairly uncommon. So, instead of inventing mind-reading, which might take a while and get expensive, we tend to do other stuff. Like... analyse what they say and what they do. It's admittedly an imperfect system.

I did many of the same things as Key did -- played hooker in a Burnside club scrum, debated, spoke at the lecturn
But Russell... I thought you were from Timaru? ;)

We were analysing his words and actions, not his 'demeanour'.
Also, Kyle: 'leave her kid in Sunday school getting gayer by the day'. Wow. That's almost a hilarious pisstake of someone being a dick. Except it's serious.

if you're american you can discuss issues of american politics without being unpatriotic but that doesn't stop people from throwing a "you hate america" into a discussion in an attempt to divert it.
That comparison is not at all apt. I really resent this lameassed (sorry Jackie!) implication you keep making that you're so nuanced and reasonable and the rest of us are just baying jackals, when we spend all this time discussing these things at length, with qualifications, and nuance, and avoidance of emotive language, and so on and so on ad freaking nauseam. You know what? If you think that we're doing the 'why do you hate America?' thing, because we're such incapable-of-complexity witch-hunting morons, you can just... [REDACTED]. Because you're totally, totally wrong.
