    and why is it that the Greens are always the ones expected to sacrifice themselves for the sake of Labour?

    Hmm, many would argue that the last 3 years things were the other way round. Certainly in terms of spent political capital.

    If that means giving some back to a Labour party that has consistently tried to marginalise them,

    I think the Greens do a pretty fine job of marginalising themselves. They had to be helped out on 2005 and *still* didn't get them numbers.

    My impression, though, was that in recent years the twi parties achieved a reasonable amount together, much of which was behind the scenes.

    Ahhhh... so that's what a douchebag is!

    Despite having read The World According to Garp I still only have a vague idea about what a DB is in real life.

  • Island Life: Take A Chance on Me,

    Ah, the debates we used to have. Abba or the Beatles. I was more in the latter camp but could still bang out Money Money Money on the joana.

    My mate soon defected to Sid Vicious and friends, shows what sort of loyalty he had.

    There, now give me 10 bucks...

    Same for planes, which filter the air pretty well.

    Is that true. This may be UL but I did hear that one side effect of banning smoking on planes was that the airlines now hardly do any filtering and that this in turn makes it easier for infections to spread (that said, I'd rather catch flu than sit in a smoky cabin for 12 hours).

    Any corroboration for rumour?

    A shopping list, yay.

    NZers, wash your flipping hands anyway, please. Especially if you are going to prepare and serve me food.

    No worries, I've been passing as mine your much better joke about marinating the immune system in alcohol as a precaution.

    Geezus, g. Look what you gone and done. How's he supposed to make money out of that now?

    Um Hayden, your latest post, not this one, which invites punters to 'discuss', needs 'discuss' activating.

    Just saying.
