Anything by Jane Austen.
Movie? Whew. I think it's not so much about the worst good movie, as the best bad one. Clearly, Chariots of Fire would have to be the worst bad one.
Oh, wait. Anything by Goddard. Sure to cure your insomnia.

The guy sitting next to me on the train says "Yeah so the serious fraud office cleared him, so that was good. I just gave him both my votes in me special. Wife wasn't too happy, but ohwellnevermind." Whips out his paper. "Anyway, guess I better study me nags."
Then, after a silent couple of minutes, apropos nothing: "That Rodney Hide's a bloody wanker, isn't he?"
Gamblin' man. Ya just gotta love it. Winston's better than Larry Hagman ever was.

This is the best thing to hapen since ages ago.

I know we're supposed to keep this positive and all, but Damien, can you or RB get any sensible gen on this whole "we only debate with the other big party" bollox?

Sunny, Tuesday afternoon, no traffic, 137 km/h on SH1, Kaikoura coast.
Car up me bum.
Cop stops us both. Talk to the other guy, off he goes. Comes to me, lectures me for - i shit you not five minutes - before "look. I only give tickets if I'm 100% sure it'll stand up in court, and in your case I'm only 99% sure." The other car, see? I could have had a defence.
Gives me another solid 2.5 minute lecture about the unknown variable - the drunk driver, the underpaid, overtaking truck driver on the blind corner, the mess I make al over the road on impact, and his profound lack of interest in cleaning me up ... and then, "have a nice day. Drive safely."
I can still hear the sound of the surf on the gravel beach, the twittering of little birds.
I'm a reformed speeder. 110 at the most. 120 - sometimes - when overtaking. A pig's a pig, but that guy changed my life.

Helen and the resurgent Greens have make-up sex and put together a good solid little coalition.
To which: Party Vote Green.

Giovani: At least you're unsettled positively.

Worried about the elction?
Party vote Green.

3 years ago, didn't everyone know that Helen and Winston just sholdn't get together? We knew he'd be trouble, but this much trouble? Predictable only in his unpredictability.
