Hard News: Why we thought what we thought, in reply to Rich Lock,
In Alan Moore’s graphic novel ‘Watchmen’, one of the vigilantes has the pseudonym ‘Rorschach’.
I think I can see a pattern here and it ain't no fucking butterfly. More like roadkill.

Hard News: Why we thought what we thought, in reply to Dismal Soyanz,
So his office but not him, but when he talks about himself does he mean himself himself or the PM’s Office himself? Confused? You will be …
Oh the intricacies of spelling and the English language. To clarify, the PM talks through his Orifice.

Legal Beagle: Crown appeals in criminal cases, in reply to Moz,
Can anyone explain why the law keeps that particular ruminant rather than, say, a camel?
Yeah, l know, l had to say it. Although a camel is a ruminant an ass is not. Which is why the law has no stomach for recidivists.

A while back I was concerned that if National were to win a third term many people would suspect that the election was somehow rigged. In light of recent events I believe any doubt would now be unlikely.

I noticed that when Key was giving his statement to the Nation concerning the resignation of one Judy Colons that he was devoid of necktie, a deshevelled demeanor was noticeable. One wonders whether the supposed hold that Colon had over the late PM was that she was the holder of the tie rack, an obscure medieval position held by powerful ladies of the night. We have all heard the Shakespearian voicings of the Scottish play in whit many have observed the wiccan trio which are heard to song ” Hubble Bubble tie and trouble” us making one wonder about the origins of Ms Colon’s hold over the Minister sub prime.

There is little point in discussing the real meaning of words as language changes and so with it, so do meanings. For instance, the word “nice” used to mean idiot back in the 15 th century, trust me, its true but I suspect that nice Mr Key would repudiate that cromulantly.

Ahem, Key, Collins, perhaps you should read a dictionary sometime.
