"Emma, you have most amazing eyes I have ever seen."
there was no way I was going to start a relationship with someone I didn't physically desire
But...tell me.....that wouldn't include Lyall Lovett? Would it.

Well lets not get too carried away about getting off topic. How about something along the lines of this since they are dead keen to dump performance criteria onto us:
MP remuneration, excluding taxis and spending on natural disasters, will be subject to a spending limit.
Under this limit an MP's remuneration will be $350 per week + taxi chits and will only be paid in full (with annual increases at 50% of the CPI) at the completion of a government term only if the prison population drops by 10% per year; Reimprisonment rates are reduced to 10%; Primary and secondary school class size is reduced to 20 students per (real) teacher within three years; (W)hooping cough, meningitis and tuberculosis is eliminated and the unemployment rate drops by 20% per year.....etc
Gooses and ganders...

I bought a shiny piece of turd that I was reliably informed came from the donkey that JC rode into town before his unfortunate demise.
I am ass-ured it is the only piece in existence.
I believe.
Amen.

My walk around the hall missed the "intro person" 'cos she was txting, I was stopped before I got to the three vacant tables 'cos I looked lost I presume, Handed over the cheat card, the man at the roll voiced my name and address and gave me my four ticks (2 on each vote paper). Wandered to the cardboard desk - why not use them in classrooms? They are sooooo cheap ;-) - picked up the orange marker, tick, tick, tick, tick. Wander to the ballot box, confusion...Rimutaka or ???...leave and pick up snag on way out as donation to school.
The placement of signs is a black art mixed with psycho lolology. Given that a lot of people noticed how "we" got confused with the signs around the polling booths, maybe "we" can now see that plonking a sign anywhere may not be the best place for it. PhDs have spent decades trying to figure out road signage. We see what we want to see, what we expect to see and miss what is sometimes bloody obvious. So those (like Emma) who tried to change the booth around to try and intercept the sight lines of voters were probably performing their first experiments in Signage Psych.101.
And yes, you wonder how stupid some people can be. But it is normal behaviour.

SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE dEAF. Even my wonderful wifey. As one who has coached disabled shooters I will vouch that they will go to exraordinary lengths to win a gold medal. Just like an abled athlete. Perfectly normal behaviour. So yes, treat as you expect everybody should be treated.
