Some levity. Elections on in Ireland at the moment ....
In todays Indo (from the same stable as the Herald)
"Who to vote for in the upcoming elections? Well, if you're in Limerick you could do worse than independent candidate Pat O'Sullivan. We haven't a clue what his policies are, other than he seems extremely pissed off with everything, but he is running under the best campaign slogan of all time -- 'Pat O'Sullivan, He Might Be A Gobshite, But You Can Always Kick Him Out Next Time If You Don't Like Him.' "

Snooker - Alex Higgins, ok, he is not current, but team outings would have been a lot of fun. As an alternate this isn't bad and very current

@ James George – sums it up really well.
The so called elite “Boys” school’s seem to dominate the thread, how does it work in the equivalent girls school world?
There is an interview in today’s DomPost with Roger Moses the principal of Wellington and while there are things I disagree with, it is worth noting how his views have changed over time.
Oh, hope the Auckland crew are enjoying the beers, roll on Wellington

Paul Krugman writes on Tea Parties.
it turns out that the tea parties don’t represent a spontaneous outpouring of public sentiment. They’re AstroTurf (fake grass roots) events, manufactured by the usual suspects. In particular, a key role is being played by FreedomWorks, an organization run by Richard Armey, the former House majority leader, and supported by the usual group of right-wing billionaires. And the parties are, of course, being promoted heavily by Fox News.
