I feel sorry for you guys up there. If the Big City becomes the Monster with its lack of representation then Auckland is an even better place to stay away from. "First we trim the trees then...."
What with your $20b of assets sitting there and the wolves salivating in the Woodhill forest. Someone really needs to make sure the coffin is nailed down well on Bruce Jesson. He must be getting pretty bloody agitated in there given what he and his mates managed to turn around for you all up there in the 90s.

Obama a Nazi???? Jesus!
Ah Glen...how can they afford you.
And I told y'all last week that FOX had the best comedy / entertainment channel!!!! And Beck is the BEST.
What IS staggering is how the health plan campaign can be sidetracked sooo easily and so much stinking fish can be dragged across its way. And the media just fly with it.
I gave up on listening to "American Media" while watching the live show a few years ago with Colon Powell giving the UN every barrell over the "evidence" of WMDs in Iraq before the invasion. How they let that gang get away with it with no questions left me speechless.
Oh thats right....evolution is only a theory. And a bad one at that........

Mrs Crumb: "Don't like Landlords"
Quiz Master Michael: "Ha ha ahahahahahahahahaahahaha
hahahahahahaa....Who does...!"
"What'll it be Mrs Crumb, A dagger up the clitoris or the blow on the head?"
Mrs Crumb: "I'll take the blow on the head thank you Michael."Graeme Downe DOES make some interesting points re student populations then and now and on the Uni Suburb living density today.
Great! Its the Landlords fault! Maybe it is more a ploy of the financiers of the loan scheme? Let the first years flat in the dumps the first year then they get tired of the cold and damp and rent a more expensive flat the next. Now that is one interesting way of getting their debt and repayment level up eh what? I wonder what the incentives are for the banks clipping the tickets?
Christ. No wonder they bugger off out of the country!

And Russell's pickup of Judith Collins talking of "Rich Little White Kids".
Bizarre that it even came form her of all people. Its something one would hear from way out left like the Socialist Unity Party yonks ago!!!
Obviously MP salaries are not what they used to be!!!! Victim of the Financial Crisis maybe? Ahhhh......Justice!

A couple of years ago I drove up and down Castle St and counted the burn marks, 102. I couldn't believe it so I counted again. It was pretty close. Its been added too since!
Can anyone suggest that they did not think it was going to happen? All the media buildup, the postering from the Mayor, Police and Student Prez?
Pranks, gatherings, pissups, - and riots (read disruption here. See below) has occurred for ever if one has a look through student/uni histories. Lost in the eons of time due to the fact that the rest of the world heard about it the next month or in quiet conversations amongst friends and families. The instant world changes that but it does not change the occurance. In engineering parlance, the control loop is non existent.
(See Below Here): I remember riding round and round Q St ,K Rd and Sy St on M/cycles pissing off the locals 'cos there were too many of us. Yes, Hoons. It was a great laugh at the time but I suspect we would be run off the road today. An hour later and it was all over. Riding with no helmet and stoned can be compared to the idiots jumping over the burning couches. Nothing has changed there.
And dare I say this: That "todays" student is a rather more homogenous beast than 30 years ago. In those days we WANTED to go to university. Today one may argue they HAVE to go. It makes for a different mix. They are in debt to the eyeballs so lets show society why we should have a good party on their dollar eh? 30 years ago 6 weeks of work paid for the years bed and breakfast. Not any more.
