I think people who are having problems with Sky Go are falling foul of its flakeiness.
I signed up quite a while ago and found it would tell me that I needed to be a "Premium" subscriber, then it would tell me I had no Sky Go account, then my password or eMail was wrong.
I just went to prove that, as a non Sky subscriber, we could not access the "Radio Punk" episode only to be told that the content was not available, then I had no account, then the "Premium" nonsense, then... hey presto... AOK.
Well, what do you expect from a company who's security guards locked me up for trying to return equipment?.

We could always go back to the originally initiated P3 / 4 trade deal.
Before the US et al shoehorned their way in.The US has a habit of taking other people's work and turning it into manure, they do it with British comedy all the time. They never "got" Monty Python though...
"Why is that funny, I do that sort of thing all the time" was the usual retort. -

For Tim Groser personally, I suspect he has a seat at somewhere like the World Bank at stake.
Personally hope he has his seat handed to him in a sling.

I cannot see them walking away now. They have invested too much time and effort for that.
If the outcome of your investment is trending toward loss then then pull out of the investment. You don't go throwing good money after bad unless you are stupid or have an ideological bent that obscures reality.

A more important question, why can't Labour attract quality advisors?
This use of the word "Quality" has always annoyed me, do you mean good quality or bad quality.
The other thing that annoys me is the assumption that Labour do not have GOOD quality advisors based on the fact that they aren't National and therefor bad by default to right wing neo-liberal nut jobs. -
Hard News: Radio Punks: So many stories, in reply to Russell Brown,
Other radio stations are shit ;-)
I still have that sticker on my truck, yes had that truck since 95 (coincidence?)
Yes I still listen, online and due to modren technilities, in the truck through my phone.
Still regard my time doing voiceovers on the b as a high point in my life. Yup, I am that sad.

asking 2 really obvious questions of the government:
1) When did the Rugby World Cup draw take place?
2) When did you discover where Britain is?
3) Who is the sponsor of the Grubby World Cup?.
Heineken, A major shareholder in Dominion Breweries.
Corruption? what corruption? -
OnPoint: My last name sounds Chinese, in reply to Jeff Goh,
Here is a tangible piece of evidence that demonstrates the underhandedness of your recent conduct.
How outrageous, somebody found an example of racism in New Zealand. Whooda thought?.
Of course, there was no racism here until "Labour did it": -
So. If you have nothing to hide, on the interwebs, then you have nothing to fear, on the interwebs.
Solution is simple, don't do anything you want to keep secret on the interwebs.
But wait....
Dolphins get spied on too. -

possession of a utensil is really an indication of personal use.
But there is the rub. Cannabis is usually shared, it is the people that don't share that tend to be the problem smokers, a joint for breakfast etc.
Sharing a joint with a couple of friends is the norm as far as I can tell so supply on that level could, technically, get you busted for supply.
