probably not even visible in the actual "doing" of it
Heard where some crematoria have windows?

If you liquid nitrogen'd one and dropped it, would it shatter?
I'm guess ing not, but I wouldn't know.

...not a persuasive or endearing form of argument
Well, now they're haltingly reading out transcripts of John Key interviews with all them um/ah/er conversational noises left in.
It's the kind of thing that puts you off voting.

Did you happen to catch parliament the other day - the last general debate I think? Repeated efforts to not-quite-directly call Mr Key "Slippery John" ("The man the media have dubbed 'Slippery John'") were ruled out of order,
Subsequently someone tried to, in a but-I-didn't-say-it-was-about-anyone-specific way, read out the dictionary definition of 'slippery'. Which was ruled to still be an implication, and out of order,
Cue complaints about the dictionary being ruled out of order.

Oh, now this was kind of sweet.
In today's questions Winston Peters just attempted (in a degrees-of-seperation kind of way) to accuse Keith Locke of supporting China. Cullen responded by excusing people who might be over-enthusiastic about new regimes with specific reference to Zimbabwe.

Oh - it's "Folsom". Though 'fulsome' is also tempting.

"Burning Ring of Fire"
I'm sure YouTube would prefer a toddler singing along to Fulsom Prison Blues.
Just trying to match the tone you describe, have you tried Buddy Holly?

I have two apple trees at my house
As I recall the bad news is you need two trees to get apples.
I only have ginger beer experience - my only guess would be to favour a 'quick' brew; that is, drink pretty much immediately. My thought being any imperfections in your sterility shouldn't have enough time to take hold. I'm guessing that's what made me really really ill that time. So on second thoughts, don't listen to me.
This plan would also make for something of a drunken autumn.

Maillard reaction: Here comes the chemistry. I have a book at home that gets into that kind of detail about baking.
Ben, rather than take the space arguing I'm just going to assert that I find culinary, economic and lifestyle sense in occasional pickling. You don't understaaand!

I wouldn't put it past Maurice.
I think National's official line is reflected in Maurice's intial reaction - if it overrides property rights to unbundle it would be equally messing with susequent property rights to re-bundle. I'm not sure how that works in terms of the philosophy of property rights, but the upshot is they've said they won't reverse anything (including Ferraris?). Not caring is of course a different issue.
