Can we back the truck up for a moment:
Air NZ did tell people - it was in their monthly magazine a couple of months ago.
You mean to say the country's self acclaimed greatest investigative journalist eva got his story from his target's own publication?
Wow, what skill, what a coup.

The Tamihere & Banks show would be so much fun to watch from the south.
Where's your ambition? I'd go for the trifecta, get Michael Laws to stand out west.

Speaking of agriculture, how damn rich did the dairy farmers get yesterday?
Up to their eyeballs in white powder today :-) Scenes from Scarface flash up before me.
Still, I don't begrudge farmers their time in the sun. As I have said before the lamb growers are having a tough time and it's a precarious way to make a living.

National has always been (with perhaps a small interregnum of the post-WW2 consensus under Holyaoke) the party primarily concerned with looking after its backers - farmers and the business elite.
This may be true but behind that concern is surely a belief that those sectors drive wealth and wellbeing. You don't have to agree with that analysis to see that it is not a "villainous" position to hold.
My politics may not have changed much over the years but my sense of righteousness has. I think Trotter and other are too convinced of being right and others being wrong to offer much new insight, IMvHO.

My ex-barber was a lady who was also a body builder. Sometimes I would scare myself by making mild criticisms of her styling skills. Then her muscles would flex, nostrils dilate and I swear my head started looking like a wine cork in her eyes.
Lesser mortals dodge buses in the one lane Mount Vik tunnel.
Last I heard she was selling food supplements to fellow builders in Brisbane.

On my third visit he brushed his hand against my trousers in a manner such as to constitute sexual assault.
Reminds me of a song I once knew. What happened on Sunday, after supper?

No, more of an end state. The result of consuming something much darker in adequate quantities.
