Sorry Heather... <hangs head in shame>

That'd be where you spotted the pic of St. Lucy carrying her eyes on a tray, right?
Heh... she's actually one of the least nausea-inducing, as martyrs go. But as usual the real question is not what you can do to Christians, but what Christians can do to you. We used to have an excellent Museum of Torture that was just the thing in that regard, although it should probably have come with sort of "attend on an empty stomach" warning.

ad nauseum
That would be the museum of nausea, right? Opens three hours after your last meal.

Tiso: The Predictatron! Good work sir.
That's nothing: Looky here! (I'll let you guess who gtiso is.)

Beyond that, I got nothing.
That's what we should call it.

Fresh fish? Honey?

The process may increase my typos...
It would also boost Russelll's readership quite a bit, I would think. But let's not digress.
The focus on stimulating domestic demand makes sense in the short-term, but the domestic economy is small. Longer-term NZ has too boost trade... thankfully McCully's just the man right?
Yes, other countries would have to come to the conclusion that we must really be a tremendous country, if we can afford to put at foreign affairs I man of so little quality and charm. Hope we don't come across as too cocky.

Yay, Keith's back from his re-education program!
I'll get my coat.
Quick! Somebody chain that woman to her computer (but not in a kinky way).

Do you have an insight on Spain, BTW Giovanni? Because I found their 'gay marriage in a conservative Catholic country' kind of odd.
What can I say? I hate the bastards. It used to be one of the few countries that we could look upside down in Europe. Conservative, teeming with Catholics, they had a fascist dictator who died of natural causes (the wrongest possible way for a fascist dictator to die). They won a lot of trophies at club level but never threatened the supremacy of the Azzurri. Then, lord knows what happened, Zapatero and the winds of change and a narrow mandate immediately monetised into gay marriage. Gay marriage! Are you shitting me? The church was in a knot and he didn't care. After all, he said, it's not as if we're forcing priests to perform gay marriages in the church. And there he missed an opportunity, really, I would have so loved the enforcement of gay marriage in a church setting.
Plus of course they modernised economically, invested in education, beat us on penalties on the way to winning Euro 2008. The whole thing is revolting.
An Italian comedian that is dear to I/S made a beautiful little movie called Viva Zapatero, which is essentially about how we suck and they rule. Recommended viewing.

Beaten to it. Haaaart! (shakes fist)
