I'm really proud of what Scott Dixon has acheived, and I dont want to take away from that..... but to become "the equal" of Bruce McLaren.... you dont just have to win important races, but design and make your own championship winning cars...
Only a Bruce and Brabham have managed it so far...

"But what if their numbers are off? What if the price of oil goes higher"
Higher than the forecasted peak of $115 before it levels off to $100-ish. Whoops, already hit $132 last night.
Unfortunately, some of the assumptions upon which the treasury have forecast are already woefully out of date...

Samuel.... funnily enough, I emailed Alt TV just yesterday to ask if they were still broadcasting.....
They decided not to continue due to the cost of the frequency.... so now its Sky Digital channel 65 or streaming over the web...

Also, some scissors and can openers, especially cheap ones, are just crap in general and aren't all that easy or comfortable even for us righties....
So while your specialist lefty tools are ridiculously over-priced.... at least some of it is probably in the quality.... An equivalent quality righty tool would probably not be found in the $2 shop, or even for $5 at the supermarket?

I always thought that "reduced appreciation of differences in colour' was just part of the condition that is being a heterosexual male?
Scarlet, crimson, cerise and vermillion are all just red to me.

Although.... just reading further through that article there's a graph showing China's power sources....comparing thrmo-fossil, hydro, and nuclear... and hydro is getting smaller percentage wise.... So I'll have to fact-check myself and agree with the "not so much" comment.

I'm with Damien on this one....
While clearly, isopropyl Alcohol has legitimate uses (I use it myself)..... the comments being made by the dairy owner made it obvious he knew to what purpose it was being used, and he was willing to offer a bulk discount.
Not illegal, sure, but dodgy.
Can any of you who don't see the problem explain how this differs from the (generally seen in a VERY bad light) pharmacist who were supplying the cold remedies to people who asked for 20 packs at a time.... or was that OK too?

Just say "we put this question to the Minister, and s/he declined to answer". Do that ten times and they might start being more forthcoming when the public thinks they never answer anything :)
I think you maybe onto something there... genius. I think it would work especially well in an election year, no?

Be well keen on hearing the NZoA debate on 7 but don't have freeview. Any chance of youtubing it ?
Where have you been? :)
Every episode has been available at TVNZonDemand, Youtube, and pod-cast, direct from the manufacturers (ie. not a dodgy upload by a private individual) approximately the morning after first broadcast...
Enjoy them all!
