Given they have criticised the government for having too timid a stimulus package, I shall be very interested to see what that is.
If I hear back, I'll let ya know.

"I'll make a very healthy corpse some day", it's how he used to respond.
:) and my dad often quotes someone's thought(dunno who)
Keep fit, eat well, die anyway. -
We're borrowing $40 billion, cycleways or no. Had Labour been re-elected, they would have had to do much the same. The alternative being massive cuts in govt spending and/or reversing tax cuts/working for families.
Quite -- and that seems to be a fair summary of the IMF's view: "it's a bit of a bugger to have to borrow that much, but you guys are sweet compared to some other countries, so rock on with your bad selves" (I paraphrase).
I was just reading up on that looking for an alternative take on the IMF, so I have asked the Labour party to respond to this view.

And it appears the policies of recent years haven't been sending New Zealand to the poorhouse after all. Quite the reverse:
So let's borrow 40 billion! Cycleways for all, or should that be for all the children to pay back :(

Christ. I'm using interweb conventions so archaic that people have no idea what they are! I feel old.
You feel old, I feel odd :)

Why thank you Sacha, doh just noticed on the left here but was having difficulty with one * at the front and one at the back, or is that something else?

*Health* is the problem. Varied healthy diet and exercise should be the issue we're concentrating on, not paranoia about thunder thighs.
Firstly, could someone tell me what those *'s actually mean?
Secondo, I thought Dyan was sayin' why we do need to address obesity and thought she/he did do a fine jobby there and thirdly, a lady I work for, in a slightly different field of Diabetes in utero of which types1 and 2 are extensively researched, was a guest speaker in Puna for the Dr Ranjan Yajnik mentioned earlier by Dyan and the emphasis does seem to concentrate on the health effects rather than any blame which takes me back to Dyan and goes round and round so i'll just stop there, except to say, varied healthy diet and exercise sure do work for a healthier lifestyle, but it's quite hard to convince people of that,hence the need for measuring etc :) -
I'll take you clothes shopping with me one day, Sofie.
Thanks but no thanks girl. I worked with fashion in 3 malls in 2 countries over 14 years and I swore I would avoid the likes of clothes shopping for the rest of my life.:)
Clothes, from my perspective, rate fairly low on the things that make you fret scale.
Innit.

I like my body, and I would quite like it if designers liked it too.
I guess I just thought of the likes of TCD as designers and they did like your body which is why they make what they do. I do not see them as being any different from other designers.. Perhaps it is just that we always hear about Cooper, World, and Sylvester etc. as being NZ's lot but it's just not true, It takes all sorts on our wee planet just gotta find what best suits your way of life and at least (almost)everyone in NZ has choice but what do I know?
