I'm getting the "internal error" message more often than not these days
I have got it almost every single time. It's reached the point where I'll hardly ever follow a link to Stuff at all, no matter what machine I'm using. It's a pity.

I must caution you, Ian, that's a dangerous amount of awesome for one post.

Not to mention the Herald's beloved election-year porkometer...

If you can't rely on the people who write dictionaries to be pendants...
... we'll be the ones left hanging?

Do you think we can stretch to a Plague of Frog as well?

We need a hero. Sam, are you that hero?
Editing the Herald already does it much better, actually. But I can't resist finding gems and sharing them. Also, too lazy for a blog.

Hell, thank Rich Lock for spotting it. I'm just a toiler in the lulzmines.

Back in "reality", Your Views readers tackle the thorny issue of names for our two main islands:
This is suposed to be a democracy and this issue should not be decided by a bunch of polticians and beuracats. But by the people of New Zealand. I find it really amusing that people from new Zealand have a go at Frank in Fiji when we haven't had a democracy since the begining of MMP.
Despite having two official languages by far the majority of residents speak only English and have no time, or inclination,to learn another language. Leave the Islands North and South and save millions altering publicity material, maps and signs. We have more than enough gobbledegook spoken on the National Radio morning news introduction.
... The UK is so full of PC crap that it drives everybody insane and also more people leave the UK and bring all there bitterness to NZ.
The most important thing NZ should be worrying about is the recession and preventing kiwis from loosing their jobs to foriegn nationals, from rapid Asians immigration.Not hard to see where the push is coming from. This from the Telegraph. "Its chairman is Don Grant and its other eight members are Sylvia Allan, Dr Sir Tipene O'Regan, Dr Wharehuia Milroy, David Barnes, Dr Kay Booth, Dr Apirana Mahuika, Professor Michael Roche and David Mole" Its loaded with Maori activists. This whole Maori grievance thing is really all about Maori domination. The book "The Travesty of Waitangi, towards Anarchy" by Stuart C. Scottm makes for disturbing reading. No wonder so many leave NZ.
A good one here for this thread:
To please the OECD and to raise cash for the growing tide of unemployed - why not sell the naming rights to a cash rich Australian corporate? Just wonder what the solution is for the next recession when everything has already been sold.grow our export base - crazy I know.
And the prize for concise YV racist of the week goes to Jona from Katikati:
North Island.
South Island.
We have paid over enough axes and blankets to be able to choose the names. -
there is a 'your views' up at the moment about the tax cuts, or possible future lack thereof. More amusement than normal to be gleaned from it.
Indeed. I've selected some choice cuts:
No we should still get our tax cuts and all working people should recieve a huge monetary bonus. Just cut all the unemployed and beneficiaries money handouts and give it back to those that deserve it. Let the weak die off and the strong grow stronger. I remember Mr Key promising tax cuts but I cant remember Henry Clark promising anything, oh wait she was more interested in downing John Key and his achievements.
... In order to pay for this slash the public sector (it is bloated and inefficient), slash welfare (make the lazy bums get out of bed before midday and do some work), and cancel all treaty payouts.
Remember National, you were voted in to remove the effects of a decade of communist government, if you drop the tax reforms you will have no credibility. Grow some nads and stop trying to appease the Labour mob.
Stop the tax cuts? Never! That's our money we are trying to get back from those thieves!
Let them clean out some of the 400odd useless Govt Depts and make 10,000 bureaucrats get a haircut and a real job!
The Govt should trim its spending to match its income, just as the rest of us have to!
If they weren't taking so much to give to their useless drones the private sector would be in a far better situation right now!

Prepare to go ballistic
Oh God, I remember that now...
