  • Up Front: First Footing,

    Phew. I've thought for a long time that perhaps my dislike of shoes/footwear in general was weird...glad I'm not alone!

    I just don't get the need for mountains of shoes...you can only wear one pair at a time! I have a strict '2 pairs max' policy; one pair for work/formal occasions, and another pair for casual which normally only see concerts etc. 50 pairs? That's craaaaazy (and expensive?)

  • Hard News: Conscious Party,

    Isn't Opshop's 'One Day' the song from those dripping-wet-but-shallow-as-a-puddle NZ Post ads?

    It's got something to do with 'One day my mail will get delivered on time', or something like that?

  • Hard News: Need to Know,

    Does anyone know what it would cost to build a LHC (and subsequent black hole) under the Beehive?

  • Hard News: The Spiral of Events,

    No doubt Ms Clark has painted herself into a bit of a sticky corner on this, and I doubt her true motives behind not speaking up sooner will be uncovered for some time.

    But when it comes to the question of how she could trust Peters over Glenn, IMO it's pretty simple; she HAD to believe Peters over Glenn (in the absence of cold, hard evidence at the time), because he's our Foreign Affairs Minister, and Glenn is a wealthy ex-pat (and I think, given the length of time he's spent out of NZ, ex-pat is stretching a little) who seems to have made a hobby of lolly-scrambling cash on NZ's political parties.

    If she'd sided with Glenn over Peters straight away, wouldn't that have also raised eyebrows around the room?

  • Hard News: National Exuberance,

    Thought you might be RB...talk about 'elevating the discourse'!

    I don't think I've heard anyone actually challenge someone to a fight since...umm...Standard 2?

    Anyway, I'm sure you and Mikey could take him...

  • Hard News: National Exuberance,

    Completely off topic, but RB I was wondering if you'd read/heard of Whaleoil's latest rant? Seems his knickers are in quite the twist...who'd have though he listens to the b?

    I've got your back, I say we roll with a PA posse, wild west style!

  • Hard News: Rain on his parade,

    I don't really care for the parade itself...just don't see the appeal.

    But I'm pleased that the jedgement was passed as it was...the opponents such as Cr Casey and McCroskie have displayed a lack of perspective and knack for hysterical hyperbole that suggests a career in P.R would be more suited to them (no offense to P.R practioners).

    Just as much as they're not happy that Mr Crow is 'allowed' to hold his parade, I'm not happy that these people think it's their right/duty to tell ANYONE what they can or can't see/participate in/attend.

    What I do find amusing though, is that a lot of the vocalised opposition on forums such as the ever-reliable 'Your Views' seems, to me at least, to be more offensive than the very thing they're so strongly opposed to...

  • Hard News: A bit tacky, no?,

    Do you think the people who spew such filth on blogs like Whaleoil are that nasty in person? It's mind boggling to say the least.

    At least DPF has the balls to draw the line somewhere on an story like this, even though some of his regulars are playing crybaby over it...Slater, on the on the other hand...WTF man?
